Main.scm crashing VC

[Phrozin]

toal n00b here, so excuse the "dumb-ness" here.

 

Ok, I was following along with the tutorials here, and I did everything as was described. I know those tuts work, because I used the same tuts a year or 2 ago, but for some reason everytime I compile and run it crashes the game right after the intro movie.

 

I even copied and pasted the first 0213 code I found and changed the 440?? to $BRIBE, $BRIB, $BRIBE_1 and changed the XYZ coords both with and without the exclimation marks after each coord. Still it crashes. I'm using Mission Builder 1.4 now, but back when I started coding before I used 1.3.

 

I decided (about 5 minutes ago) to start using 1.3 again, so I downloaded it, but it's throwing errors out about the if statements (of which I have messed with 0 of them). I fixed this long ago, but I can't remember how I did. Anyone know a fix for that? I seem to remember it being along the lines of having to change all the if statement numbers.

 

anywhom: here is the original source as decompiled by 1.4:

 

0213:  440?? = create_pickup -4? (BRIBE) type  15? at  393.9! -60.2!  11.5!0213:  444?? = create_pickup -4? (BRIBE) type  15? at  116! -1313.1!  4.4!0213:  448?? = create_pickup -4? (BRIBE) type  15? at  393.7! -660.6!  10.7!0213:  452?? = create_pickup -4? (BRIBE) type  15? at  470.7!  70.1!  10.8!

 

 

here is the source as compiled by 1.4:

 

0213:  440?? = create_pickup -4? (BRIBE) type  15? at  393.9! -60.2!  11.5!0213:  $BRIBE_1 = create_pickup -4? (BRIBE) type  15? at  229.69! -1263.40!  20.11!0213:  444?? = create_pickup -4?

Anyone see something I'm not?

 

Edit: Forgot to let you know, Clean install, no mods, and not patched.

 

Thanks,

PS. Oh yeah, i tried to search, but I keep getting the message "Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available." and I'm logged in. So sorry if this is like the *billionth time this has been asked.

You are posting very old code in a much newer Builder. There is no way 1.3 or 1.4 decompiled and read that way.

 

As for the if thing, it's a known issue. When upgrading, Barton for whatever reason eliminated support for an 8th conditional and as such, it wouldn't even recompile the original code unless you turned off if checking, which is something I wouldn't advise. It's one of the many reasons I continue to use a much older Builder for VC. I still host it if you're interested.

Oddly enough, you are correct. I guess I downloaded a jimmied copy of 1.4. I Downloaded Sanny_builder 2.98 and bingo, everything worked after a re-install.

 

Thx,

Joe
