Hey guys,
was just working again with gamestudio and noticed that debugging is just a PITA.
So i wrote myself a little error message that allows me to improve custom error feedback:
void cerror(int errorCode, STRING *text);
This function allows you to show your custom error codes.
The big difference is that cerror allows you to suppress specific error codes by pressing "Retry".
The function will still log into the diag file but will not show any error message ingame.
Also to be mentioned that the function resets the keyboard via key_pressed(-1) to prevent keys to be hold after an error message.
Here's the snippet:
void cerror(int errorCode, STRING *text)
{
static int killed = 0;
static int suppressed[1024];
// Throw error if error code is out of bounds...
if(errorCode < 0 || errorCode >= 1024)
{
cerror(0, "errorCode out of bounds!");
return;
}
// Build error name
STRING *str = "#100";
str_cpy(str, "Error ");
str_cat(str, str_for_int(NULL, errorCode));
// Log error
diag("\n"); diag(str); diag(": "); diag(str);
// Don't show message if system is killed or error is suppressed
if(killed) return;
if(suppressed[errorCode]) return;
int result;
result = MessageBox(hWnd, _chr(text), _chr(str), 0x06 | 0x10);
if(result == 2) // Cancel
{
// Kill the program
killed = true;
sys_exit(NULL);
}
if(result == 10) // Retry
{
// Suppress the current message
suppressed[errorCode] = true;
}
// Suppress invalid keys
key_pressed(-1);
}
Have fun!
Felix
