I don't know what happened, but suddenly I can't play my game or load it into QDK. When trying to load it into QDK, it says that it's unable to open it. When trying to play the game, first I get:
Errors found in C:\PROGRA~1\QUEST\CHAOSL~1\PARTI~1\REQUIE~1.ASL: Read logfile (if enabled) for details.
then:
Unable to open C:\PROGRA~1\QUEST\CHAOSL~1\PARTI~1\REQUIE~1.ASL
I'm scanning my code and can't find anything that would provoke Quest to not load my game. It worked, I added a few things, then it didn't work. I looked at the things I added, and they seem okay. I even took them out to get back to where I was before the problem, but the problem still persists. I really don't want to post my code because:
A) Too long
B) Gives stuff away
What should I look for that would make Quest do this?

Well, what did the log file say? You may need to turn it on from the Options window.

Sorry but I figured out the problem. I sat down with the code and by trial and error, just kept checking which part of the code was wrong... it turned out that QDK changed a minor part of a room description that Quest didn't understand or whatever, so I fixed it and it's all good now. By the way, what's this log file that it asks about?

Turn it on and see... it records all any nasty errors you get to a text file, and gives you full information on any nastiness.
