Hi zanzag,

No, I am talking C-Script to C-lite.

How big is your program, how many resources do you have, what Nexus do you have to have to run program in C-Script, and are you running many dll's with program?

I am saying don't waste time trying to convert a very large program, not small or medium ones.

I mean just the conversion process for let's say changing 100 panels to
panel* = and changing all the some_panel.visible = on; and
some_panel.visible = off; in code to
set(some_panel,VISIBLE); or reset(some_panel,VISIBLE)
(or even some_panel.flags |= VISIBLE; if you like) can take days if you have a 100 panel definitions.

------------
Lol, heres one of many for you, use
set(some_panel,VISIBLE);
and accidentally forget the ; at end like
set(some_panel,VISIBLE) or set(some_entity,PASSABLE)
which easily happens coverting large programs and see what C-Lite tells you after compile crashes
compiling......................................................
Aknex.exe Encoutered a Error, must Puke and Shutdown - Woot!
(I am always tempted to send that error report to Microsoft when it asks)
with no error and no data and try to find that line of code in 250,000 lines of code then you will start to get the idea.
If you didn't know the line of code because I told you the line of code, think about finding that without nothing to go on.
That wasn't even the worse one, but that is an easy one to test out yourself. Leave the ; off of set() or reset(), see what info C-Lite gives you on that. No biggie with 10,000 lines of code, disasterous to find with 100,000 + lines of code.
The perverbial find the needle in the haystack baby. All you know is the compile crashed and you have to start commenting out all the included files, then once you find the file, then try to find the function by commenting them all out one at a time, then once you find the function then you have to find the line (and every time you comment out a included file or function it effects something else resulting in different errors). Not much fun when you have tons of code and this is only the compile phase. Not much fun at all.

Anyhow, I was talking about very large programs. I have just been frustrated with conversion of this very large program and even after I get it running well in test runs, not even being sure if I can get I to publish after what will soon be months of work (Of course, the program itself is like 3 years of code, 700mb, and oh 500 resources or so in it). I have converted many smaller medium programs like my Locoweed's Multiplayer tutorial in short order with no problem.

I am done talking about my frustration, it is just a warning for people considering converting large programs over to C-Lite.

Niters,
