Crashes

[Therm]

I'm fairly certain the game verifies all event chains during loading screen (before main menu) so if you have some loops there then it will probably break it, yes.

Are you sure it verifies them then? I threw together a very simple looped event thing (found here http://pastebin.com/Mq69Juxj ). You can get right up to ship selection, and clicking start crashes the game

OK, in that case perhaps 'verifies' was not the right word.
But, it does certainly check events file for errors.
Incorrectly formatted events file will cause crash before the main menu (at least in some cases).

Would it be possible to insert a one-member eventList betwen reciprocal events to 'break' the loop?
A -> B -> eventList(A) -> A...

Or are events also forbidden from calling eventList IDs in their histories.


Edit: Confirmed this will crash too.

Well, maybe spawn a ship with 0 hp, which continues the loop when it's destroyed...
Heh, give it transparent hull, floor, shield, gibs... it'd still go boom though.
