i've had enough of this software, its a great language n all but its full of bugs & i cant even get my game running now, despite it was running earlier. i saved a backup copy when i was running, opened it & now it won't run

also there was no errors in any of my source files, now it sais it either can't find them or it reports this on a dialog box

Command out of place in &$EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, then exits & crashes, causing a blue screen. i've tryed re-installing but no luck

Is your computer fast enough to even run DBPro?

Maybe you could post the code where you're getting the error and someone could help you out.

Maybe you could delete everything in your temp directory, BUT ONLY AS A LAST RESORT.

There is a file in TEMP called ErrorReport.txt, which sometimes has helped in post mortem analysis, although you are not even getting out of the gate here.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water, DBPro is better than all of that. Every system falls apart once in a while, it is really a delicate dance, making programs. Patience goes a long way.

The error command out of place is an open nest of some type...if/then, if/else/endif, for/next, really any of them, as well as leaving return out of subroutines, and also you can get it inside a function call.

Post the code, if you don't mind and let's see what is the matter.

EDIT: There is no need to post your code, your source is trashed; I'm pretty sure of that. Assuming you are using multiple source files, the most likely one is the first one in the list that is not the main source file. The last saves in TEMP might contain a correct copy of it, but...given your frustration level, I doubt it very seriously. Sorry, if that's the case.

ok i will post a part of my game up, i've somehow managed to get it working. but now the animations arnt working

well i can only either get the standing animation OR the walking animation 2 work

well here have a look


this isnt all the cod for my game, there is an awful lot of levels/media & alot more source code, this is just a bit that i've snipped out, but it works (and u get 2 see my character,lol)

ps. does DBPro support more than one animation?

Never mind, then, lem'me download it and have a look. And yes, it sure does! Look at the thread Animated Model Switching, I posted a little thingy for loading animations of the Tech model of DarkMatter there.

I never had problems running my db stuff on other computers

but DUDE! i saw your piece of game. Don't throw it away man! it looks good! These graphics were top of the line in 1997

I didn't try much other engines but so far dark basic is the easiest for me and i am addicted to DB.

But really, it cold be just your computer screwing up your stuff. reformat your HD, reinstall, you pc will be new and pure. shouldn't interfere with DB.

But hell, my laptop is crawling with viruses but db still works fine.

And don't forget to back up. It's the single most important thing you can do each day.

Use Code Surge as your IDE. The standard IDE screws up include files/media sometimes, it's very annoying.

just started using CodeSurge, i REALLY like it, it makes my life alot easier & has more functionality, no bugs/doesn't "ruin" my code.

thanx guyz

ps. that game character wasn't whats going to be in the final game, nor were those graphics, i am going to chernobyl to take alot of pics & implement them into my game

also the character will get a "3d face (with a nose)" and i will try to figure out how to get bones animation working

does anyone know about MD2 or MD3 files with DBPro

i can do normal vertex animation but this is very annoying in the editor, i'm quite dedicated to using that file-format, i don't wish to use .3ds or .x files

thanx
