Vb6: Compile Error User-Defined Type Not Identified. (server) [RESOLVED]

[Ganjika]

I get the following error when trying to compile the Server (client compilse fine).

Although the picture below doesn't show it - it usually highlights where it says CAMERA AS RECT.

The code im trying to add is to make 9999 the max map limit.

Public _Camera as RECT ._

This happened after trying to compile after adding :

Public Const MAX_MAPS As Long = 100

Its in modGlobals. This error occurs when attemping to compile and is preventing me from creating the .exe for server (client works fine).

I looked on google and some folks who got this error in unrelated code for unrelated to eclipse projects said that

setting a reference or component fixed it.

there is no Public Camera as RECT in server and i can find a reason why it should be what changes have you make to the source?

[Dragon Eclipse thread posted above]

This is a copy of dragon eclipse so none other than how dragon eclipse comes out of the

download (the most recent one that i know of). It is in modglobal, I think i saw it in the source for modglobal online too.

RECT is a DirectX thing and unless the server uses DirectX it should not be there

anyway in vb6 go to project reference find```
DirectX7 for Visual Basic Type Library
```and check the box

this should fix it

I did that but now I am recieving the error "compile error: variable not defined' and highlights (in modDatabase)

_frmMain_.optMOff.Value = True

[blkcrow]

are you sure optMOff exists?

[Ganjika]

> are you sure optMOff exists?

How can I be sure? The part that is highlighted is frmMain

[blkcrow]

press F2 the object browser is gonna open. then type optMOff in the second combo box and and hit search. if it doesnt exist there will be "No items found" in the search results

It doesn't appear to exist.

either you messed up somewhere or dragon eclipse was messed up to begin with

[Ganjika]

downloaded a new install and moved all the files over to it, it works and i'm able to compile as of the new install, if i cant compile after i put files in i will psot back, thanks everyone. =] (not sure what it was, maybe my install was bad :shrug:, i hadn't done anything to it yet up until that point… od).

I had a similar problem when I started using Dragon Eclipse. Turns out I had to run as administrator. Maybe that was your problem?
