Why whenever 1 runtime error happens a game crashes....is there a way to ignore them....since they don't really effect anything cept a crash?

Edit : Heres What happens :

Shutting down after encountering too many critical errors.

This is hardly one error, but rather hundreds of them.
You should by any means try to fix errors, instead of just ignoring them.

Searching for Shutting down after encountering too many critical errors returns some rather useful links (as is normally the case with any search, including the forum search).

Compile your game in 'debug mode'

it's not defined anywhere

Edit : Can the crash be caused due to a huge code with a switch or a big code with if-s only?

Edit2 : I mean i was checking what everyone was doing and i defined debug....but nothing.....no runtime error.

Edit3 : Wow...once again....could this do damage? : src:evolve()

That's good, that means it's not a loop problem... maybe...

Only if you are accessing the information wrong

Edit2 : I mean i was checking what everyone was doing and i defined debug....but nothing.....no runtime error.

Do you by any chance have world.log defined as a file(), meaning it stores all warning in the said file (making sure)?
Edit3 : Wow...once again....could this do damage? : src:evolve()

Yes it can. If src does not have the procedure evolve(), that is going to give you an undefined procedure (or something similar) error.

You should typecast things: 
src.evolve()

//  if src (lets say /mob) does not have the proc but a child of it does (ex: /mob/pokemon/proc/evolve()), then you need to typecast:
if(istype(src, /mob/pokemon))
   var/mob/pokemon/P = src
   P.evolve()

Note that typecasting src is absolutely boneheaded. src already has the type that src has. If src.something() doesn't work, then changing it to src:something() or typecasting won't work, because src doesn't have something().

The only case in which it'd work is if you did something the wrong way, like this:

mob
  proc/die()
    //blah
    if(istype(src, /mob/player))
      src:playerdie()

mob/player
  proc/playerdie()
    //...


Which is wrong. This would be correct:

mob
  proc/die()
    //blah
  
  player
    proc/playerdie()
      //...
    die()
      ..()
      playerdie()


Silly example, but meh.
