Reading the errors.

You need to read the Errors. Also you need to have some knowledge of how the game handles various things. (How are the Items loaded, are there animations that possibly could be damaged, is there a typo, maybe you missed a tab in the spec_item/propItem)

You cant just learn how to fix errors. You have to try it and earn knowledge.

Everyone can make things, but to fix things you need to know more.

In your Client Directory is a Folder called "Log", try that :).

And in your Server Directory in the Resource Folder just filter for "error_" (followed by some numbers representing the day).
Depending on the Files you are using, there may be a Folder called "Log" in your Resource Directory, too.

Just check those. If there is no error, send me a PM with a download for the Files you are using, I'll take a look.

the blessing of the goddes part is located in the randomoption.cpp/h and there prob is a .lua needed in the resource dir to work properly. The reason your server crashes could be becuz the .lua is missing. Why? Becuz the clean v15 source has it working in as it comes.

look for something like randomoption.lua of .h or something. If it's not there, download the clean v15 resource stuff (repack part 1 and 2) and get the lua from there.

I wish you luck.

You're close, it's randomoption.inc lol

As mentioned above, you can read the errors and logs. Another thing you can do (while compiling) is find where abouts the logical error is, create a breakpoint and follow it through.

Is it obvious how to fix bugs?

It's obvious if you know the cause of the bug... but if you don't, it can be quite difficult.
