is there a way to get more info in the error logging.. some command or some such? I get these crashes.. where all it tells me.. is it opened logging, the version of transcendence, and that it closed it.. and nothing else.

I wish there was more debugging help, but sadly the error logging doesn't cover everything we can do to make transcendence break.

There is the debug console (search forums for help there) which can help you solve some issues, but if the game isn't loading and isn't giving you an error message you have to just try to figure out where the problem is by hit and miss.

I usually do things in small steps, and that way I can track the mistakes I make by not getting to much code to deal with at a time.

Have you ever encountered an error on loading that didn't tell you what it was? How?

I encounter errors on loading that don't give me any messages all the time. The circumstances change, but usually involve trying to script something and getting the code messed up in a way that crashes things but doesn't get detected like a missing (). I should probably make a list, but I am usually too focused on making the particular script work to write down why it caused the crash.
