Hi guys, just what it says on the title. Can’t work out why? The quick test fails immediately on start up. There’s actually no file called mermaidcave or one listed in the startup called that. Any ideas why it’s trying to open a non-existent file? (I can always make one or rename a file I guess but still seems like an odd error). ---

It’s possible that somewhere in your code, it’s referring to a scene called mermaidcave, but you don’t have one, so it’s causing an error? That’s my best guess. ---

Huh, I guess that makes sense. (I thought it would fail when it came across later in the text it but maybe not.) I’ll go for a hunt. Thanks.
