hi
i have the problem that the lit-c tutorial from the acknex site has this code:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include
#include

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

BMAP* first_pcx = "first.pcx"; // meine erste bmap

PANEL* first_pan = //mein erstes panel
{
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
bmap = first_pcx;
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function main()
{
video_mode = 7;
screen_color.blue = 150;
}

i have changed the value to my needs:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include
#include

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

BMAP* sgapanel_bmp = "sgapanel.bmp"; // meine erste bmap

PANEL* first_pan = //mein erstes panel
{
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
bmap = first_pcx;
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

screen_color.blue = 150;
}

Should change

bmap = first_pcx;

to

bmap = sgapanel_bmp;

Hi Sam Be

I noticed that in your main
you do not have a level_load

Could that be part of the problem?

@vlau
sorry i have made a mistake when i've written the post in the script i have changed that. ^^
@ in the tutorial it doesn't say nothing about level_load. i just want to see if i can display my panels with the engine. there is no level to load.
when i stat the script in "sed" there are many errors:
main voin()unknown parameter
pos_x and pos_y unknown parameters
ect.
can't load script "name.wdl"

this is very strage. why does sedd don't suport litec scripts??

As a beginner to lite-C, first just open the script in the workshop folder and run it. Don't copy or type parts of the script yourself. You might make typing mistakes and then get error messages, like in your script above that has missing include lines and other mistakes.

Only in the second step you may modify that script and run it again. If you then make a mistake, you will get an error message that tells you in which line the error is. Now it should be not too difficult to find the reason and fix it.

^^ sorry but i copied the script-text from the workschop. so there aren't any mistakes.
and the engine says there are in every line an error.

Well, then sorry for my advice. If your script is without mistakes, then of course you won't need any advices how to avoid or fix them.

Hi Sam Be!

I went back to workshop 4 and copied the panel activity.

It works very well.
It also answered my question about level_load.

Keep on trying
