UWeapEd FAQ 

This page will be updated as I find Frequently Asked Questions to answer,
Below are a few of the common questions or problems you may have.

Q: "My game crashed. Is it Ultra-Weapon Editor's Fault?"
A: NO!

None of Ultra-Weapon Editor's features are directly responsible for your WarHeads game to crash. Though there are ways to crash a game from using Ultra-Weapon Editor improperly.

Here is a run-through of common ways the game crashes and what caused it.

• You click to `FIRE' a weapon and the game locks up on you, forcing you to reboot.  Or someone else clicks FIRE and you get disconnected.
  This problem is caused by a bad weapon that was played. If a weapon has way to many stages (about 60 of the 80 available) being used, the game may immediatly crash when the weapon is fired. Also, if one of the warheads within the weapon doesn't have a `TERMINATING' stage (eg: ??? Explosion, Smoke Bomb, Terminate), this too can cause the same crash.
  To resolve this, look over your weapon and decide to make it less bulky by deleting some of the stages. Make sure each warhead ends with a `TERMINATING' stage.

• You received the error message: "Exception 999"
  The weapon just fired split into too many warheads for the game to handle. This also happens when there are too many Teraforms on the screen for the game to handle. Change your weapon and try using less splits and more skill.

• The game tells you that it's someone elses turn, and everyone else says it's your turn -- or visa-versa.
  Then the game has desynchronized.  This likely occured from the last weapon fired if the weapon split into many warheads or took a LONG time to finish.  Tell the person who fired the weapon to play a different game if they want mass-destruction over skill.

• You or someone in the game used the `Health Station' feature and started or joined the game, and the game crashed/disconnected before the first round ever finished.
  Then you or someone else in the game didn't have the same Health value set before they joined. Since everyone in the game must agree on setting themselves to the same health by using the `Health Station' feature in UWeapEd, if anyone is playing with a different health -- the game will desynchronize.

• You were playing an offline game and used the `Offline Cash' feature to boost your money.. Or you played TEN game that used `TEN Batching' with a high Money and Interest amount -- And the game crashed/disconnected midway through.
  Then you or someone else playing gained more money from the interest roll-over than the game could handle. This is some-where in the millions, so if you notice that your Money is getting too high, change your settings or ask the person hosting the game to change his settings.

If it was something else, email me and I'll find the explination. But there is absolutly no way that Ultra-Weapon Editor causes WarHeads to crash if properly used.
