Troubleshooting your problem
______________
Q.  It says I have a file missing, or I can't get it to work!

A.  Open "Installing.txt" and follow the instructions there.   Make sure you have created 
      the project folder, and the sub-folders, and you have put the right files in the proper 
      folders.  (See paragraph 1 of "Installing.txt".)

      Also, take a look at the READ_ME_FIRST.txt file.  It has a list of all the files 
      you should have.  (Check that next.)

      Are you using the latest version of the engine, and WED?  If not, download the
      latest version from the 3DGS web site.

Q.  It makes noise, but doesn't do anything.  The car just rotates, end for end, or does
      some other silly thing.  I can't drive anywhere, but I can honk the horn and change
      camera views with the "V" key.

A.  Your car model has its origin set too low. Raise its origin or use the car model included in this package.
____________________________________________________________
Q.  I'm getting compile errors.  It says it doesn't recognize "var_nsave", or "snd_loop".

A.  This problem is caused by not having the current version of 3DGS.  To verify this,
      Open WED, and click on "Help".  Then click on "About WED".  It will tell you the 
      version numbers.  This package was written for engine version 5.203 and WED 
      version 5.261.  You can download a free update from the Conitec (3DGS) web site.

Q.  I still can't get the stupid thing to work!

A.  Let's bypass using the Move_Car package.  Instead, assign the "player_drive" action 
      to your model.  (That is the Conitec provided standard action.)  Remove the "Include"
      statement you added for the "Move_Car.wdl" file.  Also remove the one line of
      instruction you added near the end of the default script.  Try it now.

      If that doesn't work, the problem is with your level, or something else you have 
      done, or not done.  The problem is NOT with the Move_Car package.
      If the standard template "player_drive" doesn't work, the problem is probably not
      in the Move_Car.wdl "Player_Car" Action C-Script.

      Make sure you Build and Save your level.  Even though you click "OK" and it looks
      like you are "automatically" running - you aren't!   You still have to click "RUN".

      Make sure your model is sitting just ABOVE the ground.  If it's stuck in the 
      ground, it won't move.

      If you still can't get it to work, open WED and follow the tutorials, especially the
      "Scriptless Shooter" tutorial.  Stick with that, until you can get your player to 
       walk around.  When that works, change the action to "player_drive" and see if
       you can "drive" the person around.  Now change the model to the Rally Car, and
       see if you can still "drive" it around.  If not - the problem is with the model.

B.  The "player_drive" action works now, and you can drive your car around the level.
      Let's try the Move_Car package again.  Open "Installing.txt" and follow the 
      instructions in paragraph 7.  This will restore the one line instruction you removed, and
      also the "Include" line that you removed when you were doing the troubleshooting 
      in "A" above.  Working now?  If not...

C.  What error messages are you getting?  If it is complaining about your video card, you may
      have to make some changes in the Move_Car script.  Use the "search" feature of your
      editor to look for   d3d   and remove the d3d.     Example:
      Line before changes:    flags = refresh, d3d, overlay; // set flags
      Line after changes:       flags = refresh, overlay; // set flags

      You may also have to set the run parameters to indicate you have a "weak" video card.
       Try running it in both window and full screen mode.

      Did that fix the problem?

D.  No - still have the problem.  
      If you are seeing the on-screen displays, the action is being started, and the problem is
      somewhere in the Move_Car script.
      If you are not seeing the on-screen displays, the action is not even starting to run.  This
      may also be true, if you are not hearing the sound of the engine.

E.  Did you try assigning any skills or flags in WED, for your model?  If so - remove them.  
     They are not needed for the Player_Car action.  Don't forget to rebuild and save again.

F.  Still doesn't work.  
     What error messages are you seeing?  If those don't help you figure it out, then you 
     probably need to sign in to the user's forum, and ask for help.  Make sure you give 
     a good description of the symptoms you are seeing.
