Atari lite-C 1.7 public beta

Version 1.7 of Atari lite-C is available for a public beta test.

This update is _not_ for Gamestudio users, only for users of the free Atari lite-C version or the $29 version. It contains version 7.70 of the A7 engine. You can just install it into your current lite-C 1.5 folder.

Version 1.7 comes with new MED tools, improved bitmap functions, improved text functions, model/sprite creation commands, decal shadows, wide screen support, realtime terrain deformation, and many more new engine features and commands. The changes of the A7.70 engine are described here:

If you encounter any bugs that are specific to this lite-C version, please report them to the bug forum.

The Gamestudio 7.70 public beta version will be released to the beta forum today, and to the public in the next days.

Cool!

thanks JCL, nice update! (next days? tomorrow?)

A new version was uploaded (1.70.1). The previous one had a bug that caused a timeout in the main loop.

EDIT:
After I download it again and installed it, it works perfect!
Thank you.

Greetings Ralph

Check if you correctly downloaded and installed it. The correct version has the version number "1.70.1".

I've installed it and when i run the code it says:

how can i debug this??

thanks!

@gagamBRYAN:
The previous post before yours, JCL's, states that the version you should be running for proper results is v1.70.1. According to the second line of your screen it's showing that your using v1.70.0 instead. Maybe this could possibly be an issue? Just throwing it out there, I could be totally wrong altogether but nonetheless there is my two cents. Attempt to download the EXE and try to run it again.

@ISG:
I've re-downloaded it from the link above,. and have re-installed the upgrade,. but still the problem is the same,. the version is already v1.70.1 but it is still the problem. look at the snippet below:

What you see in the panel is a simple error message. You don't need debugging, you just need to write a syntax correct script. Debugging is only required when the compiler runs through without error message, but the code does not work.

How to write lite-C code is described in the lite-C tutorial. There are also lots of samples to get you started.

so, how do i correct that?..

well you see, my code works on the 1.5 version of liteC but when i upgraded it,. i encounter that error message. can you help me?

Sure, send me your PC so that I can look at your code .

my pc?

If you don't want to send me your PC, but still want my help so that your code works, I guess you have no choice but to post it here.

ok. but for the mean time, i just go back to the 1.5 version, i need to rush this game. thanks anyway!

The error message looks as if you have a wrong header in your script.

Why don't you post the code, it's probably easy to fix.

it's a very very long code for now,. and i use variable names in other language. i switch back and my code works. i'll try to finish it first then i'll upgrade into the beta. tnx guys!
