    Hmm...
    What is error message?

    Update!
    Added some feature.
    But that feature based the JackD's idea.
    And, his version is more useful than my version.
    Download here.

    Not much of a error message on the crashes...Moving the KAG folder to C drive doesn't work either.
    PIC:
    Top one is Maqq's, bottom one is both Nanashi's and JackD's, extra problem with JackD's one is that the error message/program doesn't close, it just keeps popping up.
    For Maqq's, both tempesta.png and menuitems.png does exist in my game folder, guiStarter.xml does not.

    I think, bottom one is not error.
    Hold the console window,then run the KAG and check the server browser.

    No the thing is that I already said it crashes and obviously am not running.
    It gives the generic "program error, need to close" dialogue:

    Hi, if Maqq's version fails, then ours will too, as they are based on his code ;)

    Which OS are you using?
    Where did you installed KAG?
    Does it work starting dedicatedserver.bat?
    Do you have all the .NET stuff needed installed?
    Does it work on another machine? (OS, VM, whatever)

    If you are using Vista/7 try running the config tool as an administrator (Right click, Run as Administrator)
    You could also try a clean install. I know it's really not much help, but without more information, a single crash doesn't say much to us either.

    Try the options above and let us know.

    New version:

    Changelog

    -Added server output is displayed inside the app
    -Added RGB color picker for color team
    -Added message notifications to tray icon
    -Fixed tray icon stays in the tray area after close

    *Known Issues*
    -Sometimes the output redirection app crashes. No idea why yet.
    -App must be launched from command-line or the server won't close when the app closes (So we still have ONE command-line open)

    This issue *might* be resolved with the fixes to KAG shown here http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/16163/Real-Time-Console-Output-Redirection

    Normal output redirection gets stucked at some point, while the RTconsole works with no problems.

    1) You can see in the screenshot I posted that I'm on Windows XP service pack 3.
    2) My G drive, I already said moving the folder to C drive doesn't work.
    3) Yes I can run my servers fine using the default .bat file, I had a server up and running for about 3hours with around 20players.
    4) Yes all .net are in, from .net1 to .net4.
    5) Have not bothered to try it yet on VM or other comps...

    Also, the server restarting when you close it manually is a feature, not a bug. To stop it use the button in the GUI.

    Update!

    Fixed the Rule editor, Team editor, and some bug.
    And...
    Added the help file!

    Download here.

    My version is launch the KAG.exe by administrative privileges.
    Don't need bat file If you are administrator of your PC.

    So, I'm a middle school student.
    I don't have times.

    Oh...
    fixed!


    But, I have a big problem.
    It's fatal error.

    Error:
    IP automatic detection Doesn't work.
    global sv_ip <= automatic detection if set to 0.
    but doesn't work.
    Server output:
    An error occurred while trying to create an ENet server host 0:50301


    JacKD's version will not set to 0.
    his version will set to 150.
    lol
