Thanks ! I got going again using the console to set the variables , but I should say that my install may not be 100% clean .
I was playing "Return to Trademeet" but uninstalled it then installed CA rather than do a complete fresh install . When I finish CA I think I will remove everything then do a nice clean install and play it again , I think I would like to try a fighter for a change.
About the gold thing , I think its a good idea to give the player some costs for whatever reason . "Money sinks" I've heard them called.
