It stops working at this line:

video_mode 7;

Here is the whole thing again:

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

VECTOR jet_speed;
ENTITY* jet;

function main()
{
video_mode 7;
set(pSplash,VISIBLE);
wait (3);

printf("test");
fps_max = 140;
level_load("riverbed.hmp");
ent_createlayer("blood_gsmall+6.tga", SKY | CUBE | VISIBLE, 0);
wait (2);
jet = ent_create ("mig.hmp", vector(-400,0,100), NULL);
ph_setgravity (vector(0,0, -386));
phent_settype (jet, PH_RIGID, PH_CUBE);
phent_setmass (jet, 3, PH_CUBE);
phent_setfriction (jet, 80);
phent_setdamping (jet, 40, 40);
phent_setelasticity (jet, 50, 20);
while(1)
{
jet_speed.x = 25 * (key_a - key_d);
jet_speed.y = 25 * (key_w - key_s);
jet_speed.z = 25 * (key_cuu - key_cud);
phent_addtorqueglobal (jet, jet_speed);
camera.x = jet.x - 300;
camera.y = jet.y;
camera.z = jet.z;
camera.tilt = -60;
wait (1);
}
}

i don't know what I did wrong or I would fix it. I don't get the black screen, just an error message. up until this point, it displayed both the message you gave me and the black screen.

it has to be "video_mode = 7;"

I changed it but I still get the black screen.

Please post the new content of the ackog.txt again...

here is the contents of the acklog:

But I know that that is not right because I changed the "video_mode 7;" to "video_mode = 7;" but it doesn't say that in teh acklog, which makes me think that is for someone reason not recognizing the enw code. Also, when I run, i don't get any errors like the acklog says, just the black screen. I am wondering if I just had a bad install (though I can still play the examples in the workshops).

If you corrected video_mode = 7; and this is really the file you're running then I am at the end of ideas. Sorry. Only advice: doublecheck everything written here so far.

Ok, thankyou for your help. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling both it and the workshops. If they still both act weird, then I will asume that it is my machine that is the problem. Again, thankyou for your help.

jet / mig is not .mdl!?
turn splash screen off
use [ code ] [ code ] tags

I checked and yes it is a .mdl, so I changed and still get the black screen. Does it matter that my script is a .wdl format? I thought it was the same as .c but I wanted to check.

Try turning off the splash screen, if it is on. (see above)
The file should probably be saved as .c, not .wdl (C-Script).
#include (<- this is .c -like syntax)
