To be -lang fb compatible, we need to eliminate *all* type-suffixes: D:\ohrrpgce>makegame Now compiling GAME with fb graphics module, and sdl music module Version ID 20080106 Codename wip game.bas(6) error 135: Only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found 'DYNAMIC' in ''$DYNAMIC' game.bas(7) error 135: Only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found 'DEFINT' in 'DEFINT A-Z' game.bas(15) error 137: Suffixes are only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found 'arg' in 'DECLARE SUB setScriptArg (arg%, value%)' game.bas(17) error 137: Suffixes are only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found 'stat' in 'DECLARESUB innRestore (stat%())' game.bas(18) error 137: Suffixes are only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found 'needfade' in 'DECLARE SUB exitprogram (needfade%)' game.bas(20) error 137: Suffixes are only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found 'x' in 'DECLARE FUNCTION wrappass (x%, y%, xgo%, ygo%, isveh%)' game.bas(21) error 137: Suffixes are only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found 'x' in 'DECLARE SUB wrapaheadxy (x%, y%, direction%, distance%, unitsize%)' game.bas(22) error 137: Suffixes are only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found 'x' in 'DECLARE SUB aheadxy (x%, y%, direction%, distance%)' game.bas(23) error 137: Suffixes are only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found 'x' in 'DECLARE SUB wrapxy (x%, y%, wide%, high%)' game.bas(24) error 137: Suffixes are only valid in -lang deprecated or qb, found '(' in 'DECLARE FUNCTION framewalkabout% (x%, y%, framex%, framey%, mapwide%, maphigh%, wrapmode%)' game.bas(24) error 123: Too many errors, exiting Ideally, we could throw in an Option Explicit, and we'd have (shock and horror) a reasonably maintainable source tree! -- Mike Caron Tale of the Cave http://taleofthecave.com _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
