The problem is that there is a terminal there but it does not have any
terminal text associated with it. The alarming error message only
indicates that if a player tries to activate the terminal then the app will
crash.

You have a terminal pattern in the map which is set to terminal 1. You
have no #TERMINAL 1 in your script.

Thanks for the response.

I have checked both the map and the terminal text (below), and everything
appears to tally up.

$C2I have aquired your services at enourmous cost of energy, it is not
worth what it once was. I need information about these waste processing
works, they are not what they appear to be.
Check the whole area. Unfortunately, due to unprecented power shut downs,
it will be necessary to find and restablish the power links. Be aware that
anarchy reigns, I know not of any allegiances.

Any further suggestions would be much appreciated. If anybody would like a
non terminal version of Spiral Hell 4.1 E-mail me on cri...@crispin.co.uk

Have fun

Oops! Different problem. Sorry about that. Being a programmer I think
numerical sequences always start with 0, so it wouldn't occur to me that
you did that :)

Your first terminal in a map has to be terminal 0. And you can't skip any
numbers. It expects to find #TERMINAL 0, then later #TERMINAL 1, and so
forth, and any variation from this confuses the merge engine.

Although I hate to plug again ... the AboutTerminals doc lists all these
little weirdnesses :)
