Thanks jcl, so if I understand correctly I can't use the 'old' C-Script anymore with A7 or does it only effect the variables?
I find it strange, because all my other variables seems to function correct and like I said I don't use Lite-C yet.

c-script works as before but you can use lite-c if you please

If C-Script works as before, why don't the variabels;
var video_mode=8;
var video_screen=1;
do there job like in A6?
I'm confused here, jcl wrote 'In C, all variables, including video_mode, must be set in a function.' I thought this is only for Lite-C and not for C-Script.

I found it a little confusing too. All variables must be in a function?
A7.03 SED 7.02.4

Code:

---

// Lite-C Pure Mode
// main.c
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

var fps_max = 60; // <- this var must be in a function?

void main()
{
	screen_color.red = 125; //  <- doesn't work, stays blue?
	level_load("world.wmb");
	wait(3);
}

hi
i'm back here.^^
i have eliminated all error and the compiler runs ok until the end. here:

this [censored] dives me creacy. why does the compiler in the public beta not work!!????
sam

The compiler in the beta version is indeed not yet fully finished. If you don't use the new features like geometry import, you can just copy the old compiler - the wwmp2wmb.exe file - from your A6 version into your A7 folder.

Still, we're interested in any levels that cause problems with the new compiler. If you want you can send that level to the support - we'll look into the problem.


- To avoid confusion: In C-Script, variables like video_mode _must_ be redefined outside the main function.

var video_mode=7;
var fps_max = 60;
on_esc = game_end;

In lite-C this won't work, all variables must set inside a function, and in case of video modes they must be set _before_ the first wait (because the video device is created after the first frame).

function main()
{
video_mode=7;
fps_max = 60;
on_esc = game_end;
...
wait(1);
}

hi
thanks for reply. could you explain how to copy the compiler better please?? do i have to copy only the exe file??
an where can i send my level to? and in what problem do you mean with "look into the problem"?^^
thanks anyway
sam

PS i think it would be easyer for us if we'd write in german.^^

I am using C-Script for now in A7 (because I copied the complete level from A6) and did not change anything in the script but the variables
var video_mode=8;
var video_screen=1;
(outside the main function) will not work.
In A6 they work fine.
Must I conclude that this is a bug?

As you can see when you start any C-Script project, like Techdemo, video_mode works in 7.03 just as in 6.60.

Could be, but for me it doesn't work.
I had never tried the Techdemo, so now I have.
Will not run at all, gives errors (to start with; in doors.wdl).
I tried the Techdemo in A6 (6.60)
