I've just tried installing some of the mods from stellarmatter.net; they worked fine.

However, I've just gone and messed up Darwinia by trying to overwrite one of my existing profiles that I'd created for one of the other mods.

I'd followed the instructions and restarted with the mod selected, then I created a new profile. It worked perfectly. Then I deleted that mod, and found that I couldn't restart without it. I reinstalled it, restarted, then unloaded the mod and then restarted, and Darwinia was back to normal.

Then I installed another mod, restarted with it running, but I decided I didn't want to created another profile (as I can't seem to delete any old ones) so I tried to overwrite the profile I created for the previous mod then it quit (and now won't start up) with a "Fatal error" (Invalid map file specified). And I can't get rid of the first mod or the second mod, or either mod, and make it work again. :wacko:

Here's the text of the report it created: :blink:

Any ideas as to how I can reset it without (if possible) losing my previous profiles etc ? :unsure:

<span style='color:gray'>EDIT:
The first mod loaded was ArcadeRemix 1.01, and the second was EnemyWithin 1.3.1, both by trickfred.

Find ~/Library/Application Support/Darwinia/full and open up 'preferences.txt'. On the line that says 'Mod =', make sure that it is set to none (i.e. 'Mod = none'). Also, for good measure, set 'UserProfile' to the profile you wish to use.

And of course, if that doesn't work for some odd reason, you can delete the entire ~/Library/Application Support/Darwinia folder. (or just move it somewhere else, to be safe)

Fantastic.
I'll give it a whirl when I get home this evening.
