Stopping an interface freezing on error

[Mere_Mortal]

If I’m editing transfer_characters.c and I have made an error, the interface will simply boot me out. Other interfaces will be completely broken and I cannot exit, forcing me to shut down. What is responsible for this behaviour? I really can’t be doing with having to reboot the game just because I forgot to reference something.

If an interface errors out, can't you just use F1 or F2 and them press escape?
That is what I've often had to do.

Sometimes that works, but not always... maybe it depends on the error or even the exit paramters in the individual file. Sometimes there is no way out, like in the case of transfer_characters.c where somebody put some code in which prevented an exit by another other means than to Alt+F4.
