Good day to all. The question may be somewhat stupid, but for me it's not so trivial. I tried to make my own compilation of Eclipse 3.0 (with some added features). On my system it worked perfectly, but when I tried to distribute it, client would crash with "Unrecoverable DX8 error" once we are on the map. It might be because the person who has this crash use Windows 8\. Tried deleting maps from the client - the same error. Other person (also having the Win 8) tried the non-modified Eclipse 3.0 - no error. What can be wrong? upd: he tried to run as administrator - got the "Subscript out of range" error on start (before login). Tested on my system - nothing similar.

_upd: I'm sorry, didn't see the "Bug fixes" inside the "Tutorials". Please move my topic there :)_ Good day to all. This topic isn't for question (the question was answered by myself), but for the some kind of bugreport. Let's look at this simple event: [attachment=1305:choice_bug.PNG] It works improperly in EO 3.0\. "Text after choice 1" is skipped entirely, and "Text after choice 2" is repeating over and over. The fix for this is like following. 1) To prevent skipping the first command, open the modHandleData.bas at server and find the following in the sub HandleChatReply: ``` Select Case reply Case 1 TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).ListLeftOff(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList) = TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList = Map(GetPlayerMap(index)).Events(eventID).Pages(pageID).CommandList(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList).Commands(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot - 1).Data1 TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot = 1 Case 2 TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).ListLeftOff(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList) = TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList = Map(GetPlayerMap(index)).Events(eventID).Pages(pageID).CommandList(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList).Commands(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot - 1).Data2 TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot = 1 Case 3 TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).ListLeftOff(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList) = TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList = Map(GetPlayerMap(index)).Events(eventID).Pages(pageID).CommandList(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList).Commands(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot - 1).Data3 TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot = 1 Case 4 TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).ListLeftOff(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList) = TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList = Map(GetPlayerMap(index)).Events(eventID).Pages(pageID).CommandList(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList).Commands(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot - 1).Data4 TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot = 1 End Select ``` In all four blocks the first line must have "-1" at the end, i.e. be changed to the following: ``` TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).ListLeftOff(TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurList) = TempPlayer(index).EventProcessing(i).CurSlot - 1 ``` The reason for this is that at the moment of getting the reply the event command list is shifted, and the "current" command is in fact the one following the choice. 2) To prevend infinite loop, we should make the ListLeftOff equal 0 in every command which doesn't involve the movement to the other list (that is, every command except Jump to Label, Conditional and Show Choice). This is achieved by adding the string ``` .ListLeftOff(.CurList) = 0 ``` in the sub ProcessEventCommands (file modEventLogic.bas at the server). Find this (sorry, a part of a comment is a victim of censorship): ``` 'If we are still here, then we are good to process * :D Select Case Map(GetPlayerMap(i)).Events(.eventID).Pages(.pageID).CommandList(.CurList).Commands(.CurSlot).index ``` The string must be placed in all the following cases, except EventType.evShowChoices, EventType.evCondition and EventType.evGotoLabel, just before the next Case to appear (at the end of the processed code).
