when i try to test a script I made i get error video mode read only. any ideas what the propblem is.

// Lite-C in function main
video_mode =8; // create a program window of 800x600 pixels
NOT*
// c-script out of function main
var video_mode=8

that is what I use and i get that error. i use

function main()
{
video_mode = 8;
}

you sure you are saving your file with .c extension?

I changed it now it says cant compile test.c

okay here is a image of the leg I made.(no bones yet)

okay the image will not show up and it has no errors. here is the script

#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

BMAP l = "LEADERBOARD.PCX";

PANEL first_pan =
{
bmap = l;
pos_x = 10;
pos_y = 10;
layer = 1;
flags = VISIBLE;
}

function main()
{
video_mode = 7;
}

video_screen =1; // set fullscreen mode

try adding this to function plus load a level....

function main()
{
video_screen =1; // set fullscreen mode
video_mode =7; // create a program window of 800x600 pixels
level_load("YOUR_LEVEL_NAME_HERE.wmb");
wait(-2);
}

it still doesnt appear.

change
bmap to BMAP*
PANEL to PANEL*

sorry I missed it the first time .
