Can never tell what file a Runtime error is in..

[Pazyryk]

This is starting to annoy me. Is there a workaround?

Runtime Error: [string "C:\Users\Pazyryk\Documents\My Games\Sid Mei..."]:80: attempt to compare number with nil

Usually I can figure it out. But looking at line 80 in five different .lua files is not optimal...

Not as far as I know; it's just as annoying as you'd think. Why they'd print the full filename when the default directory is always your big long My Documents/etc. path, I have no idea.

What you CAN do is do some print statement debugging: put a print statement near line 80 in each file it might be, and see which one prints right before/after the crash.

This also leads to a really easy way to debug it: add a blank line to the first file, two blank lines to the second, three to the third, and so on. Then, see what line number it crashes on the next time: if it's 83 now, then you know it was file #3.
