Mod Crashes Game
hi, I made some mods with box heads by editing the mod file in notepad (pic)
the mod works fine on my computer, and the upload was okay. however, the mod crashes the game of everybody else who's tried it. it crashes in freeplay and multiplayer. it doesn't crash the game for me, even in multiplayer.

list of mods that don't work
sable_mtring.tbm
sable_mtring2.tbm
test1234.tbm (a version of the mod with no level, just the bodies)

my os: debian linux (on steam)
everyone who's crashed so far: windows

I tested the mod on a windows computer and stderr.txt was empty besides this
Initiated with OpenGL version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 581.80
failed to parse custom.tmp

it would be nice if the crash were fixed
thank you

LMFAO okay so i know the exact issue here, setting the shape of the head to anything besides a sphere will crash in multiplayer (perhaps excluding mobile?). anyway, just curious, what base mod did you get those toris from?

I tested a little more and i found something really weird
1. opening the mod in the windows client (with wine) crashes the game
2. if I edit the mod to remove the lines that change the head shape, I can open the mod (the heads are spheres of course)
3. if I join a multiplayer room with the mod, i can play, and the head shape is a box :o

so it does work in multiplayer, even on windows, but you have to remove the line that changes the head shape to a box
-----
the base mod is sable_mtcage5 but the original original is ergo4b-boxing-2
