Lil mail help would be nice ! =)

[bluedude]

i have installed this CORRECTLY http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,18583.0.html
And i made a source fix fixing the custom menus but then i get a error on server one is like If_clicked blah i dont remember and other one is Menuscripts error and another one is getplayersex error is there any thing else i am supposed to add to my main?

i really cant say exactly the error

[dao]

A) the code doesn't work
B) try to re install

[Admiral Refuge]

For whichever scripter reads this:
He's not the only one that gets this error, I'm pretty sure it's custom-menu related, because I ran down a check in the Runtime Error board, and many people have been getting it after adding a script that involves custom menus.

[bluedude]

Fixable?

[Admiral Refuge]

@bluedude:

> Fixable?

Probably; have to wait until someone that is better with the source/better at scripting than I am, to be able to see why that error appears.

It'd be nice if you could provide your Main.txt though (just make sure it's intags)

[Admiral Refuge]

I encourage the users that read this (because I'm stumped on a solution), to also check out the topic here: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,45519.0.html
Especially the quotes I make near the end.

Lol.. it's really quite an easy fix.. and i'm surprised i didn't recognize the error message earlier
You get those errors, when you skip "indexes" in custom menu labeling/picture/textboxes.. see the thing is, each of these has their own seperate index(like how npc/player indexes are completely seperate).
so when you call a multi-command custom menu like this:
```
Call CustomMenuShow(index, "Example", "Example.gif", 1)
Call CustomMenuLabel(index, 1, "Example1", 60, 30, 15, 0, 0, 400, 40)
Call CustomMenuLabel(index, 2, "Example2", 315, 30, 15, 0, 0, 400, 40)
```you have to call the indexes in that specific order, you **can't** call them like this:
```
Call CustomMenuShow(index, "Example", "Example.gif", 1)
Call CustomMenuLabel(Index, 2, "Example2", 50, 30, 15, 0, 0, 400, 40)
Call CustomMenuLabel(index, 3, "Example3", 60, 30, 15, 0, 0, 400, 40)
Call CustomMenuLabel(index, 1, "Example1", 315, 30, 15, 0, 0, 400, 40)
```
And paying MUCH closer attention to ilnair's script now, i can see he does some of later code box, which will cause errors, such as 340 "1" does not exist and such..

[bluedude]

Sigh =( no one will help and my post keeps getting pushed back by pasketi and hes gettting more help in 5 minutes  then i have in 20 hours

It doesn't matter if it's getting pushed back; if there were two pages of new questions in this board, the people that answer questions here would read all two pages, and respond accordingly.

And if I merge all the questions you've been asking on this same subject, you have quite afew replies.

Besides, I always start from the bottom when answering questions (so I check the older topics first, so if your post is lower, I get to you before the posts that are higher up), I think afew people do that.

Though, almost everyone here is very busy with real life and helping other users; trying to fiddle with a main.txt is usually too much to work; you should be working at it your self.

If you don't understand what bobosk said, I could explain it better, though, I checked your Custom Menu sub and everything, but I don't even see the mail script in the new one (which means you want someone to install and re-work the script from scratch) :icon_crap:

[bluedude]

Please ive waited 48 hours and no real help can some one install it for me?

[bluedude]

Here i uploaded my main and i installed it  can some one edit it to fix it?

[Admiral Refuge]

Try this one.

[BugSICK]

well?? did it work?

[bluedude]

no doesnt work  get string error on player join and there is no hot script

[bluedude]

It comes up but server says something like error [string""""]" something like that and the mail box comes up but it doesnt say no new mail or anything just a scroll with the word mailbox on it

[Admiral Refuge]

Yea, your JoinGame sub was screwed up (you had "End Sub" twice, things like that).

Try this one, let me know what other errors come up.

[bluedude]

i get exactly this
```
TYPE: Type mismatch: '[String ""']'
LINE: 2
COLMN:0
CODE:

```two times

And same thing when you open your mail i dont get error 340 any more but when i binded```
Call Mailbox(index)
```to hotscript 2 ( del) it opens and gives me that error like the top

[Admiral Refuge]

*sigh*
I was able to fix a portion of it, but now I'm getting RTE 340 again.

I'll try to keep debugging it, see if I can come up with a solution.  If I can/can't, I'll edit this topic.

Admiral, his main.txt is completely shot… he's better off just getting a default, and completely restarting his scripting experience..

@Bobosk:

> Admiral, his main.txt is completely shot… he's better off just getting a default, and completely restarting his scripting experience..

I'm beginning to notice this.
I've actually spent the past half 20 mins going though the main, trying to put parts in the correct places, trying to put things outside subs into subs, that sort of thing :icon_crap:

It also looks like, rather than following the instructions for most things, he just "pasted" codes at the bottom of the main – codes that aren't in their proper subs.

[Bobosk]

not to mention all the extra end subs? >.<

[Admiral Refuge]

@Bobosk:

> not to mention all the extra end subs? >.<

Yea, I've mentioned them in Reply15.

Though, yes, I agree with you.

Blue, I'd recommend getting a list of the scripts you have in that main (you should have one already, to keep record of who to give credit to, for the scripts; I saw one of mine in there ;)), and start adding them into the default main (or, alternatively, you can use the one that only has "#includes" {found in the Script Database}, since it's abit more organized for you), but make sure you test each one after adding it.

Of course, I saw afew different quest scripts in there too, I suggest if you're not going to use a certain script (or even more, if you want to add another script that does the same thing, instead) you remove it from your main.

[bluedude]

i really cant do much on redoing my main because i have so many scripted stuff and no one helps me!(Team)

[Admiral Refuge]

@bluedude:

> i really cant do much on redoing my main because i have so many scripted stuff and no one helps me!(Team)

The problem is, your entire main is full of errors, and alot of those scripts aren't going to work.

[bluedude]

k im redoing now
