Alright. I'm just surprised nobody else brought it up. It's happened to me with every single build of ZC I've used that features autosave, so it can't just be RC2, and I don't see any way it would just be my particular computer. It's happened so many times that you would think somebody else would be having the same problem and would have mentioned it.

I've just been making a list in Notepad of the RGB values I need, and then punching them in all at once in the editor to minimize the chance of it happening. It only happens in the palette editor, nowhere else, so I'm not exactly sure what causes it.

This actually has already been fixed. Most dialog procedures shouldn't be triggering timed saves until that dialog has been closed.

That's fantastic. You have no idea how many times I've had to deal with that! I don't care how much work I have done in RC2, first chance I get, I'm updating just for that alone!

[MoscowModder]

Just so you know, 2.5 RC2 is the latest version. If it was fixed after RC2, you'll have to wait for RC3 or the final release.

[kurt91]

I know, that's what I meant. The moment I find out RC3/2.50 Final is released, I'm ditching my current version and upgrading ASAP.

May I ask, where can you download 2.5 RC2.5 if it's avalible?

Anyway, if this wasn't fixed in RC2.5, I have a weird problem (which may not be even a bug) with the Rectangle function:

I get an error (don't ask) stating that the complier can't match the type signature of the rectangle function, saying:

CODE

COULD NOT MATCH TYPE SIGNATURE RECTANGLE(FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT, BOOL, FLOAT)

This is what it says in ZScript.txt:

CODE

void Rectangle(int layer, int x, int y, int x2, int y2, int color, float scale, int rx, int ry, int rangle, bool fill, int opacity)

Basically an inconsintancy with the complier and txt.file. btw, I got the copy of the txt. file that one of the devs posted here that would work properly in notepad, used that for my refrence.

This is the best news I've heard all day!
And I have heard some pretty good news.

Do you have an extra argument somewhere in the function call to Screen->Rect?

[Ice Cream Link]

I need to ask a question.

I have a Toshiba laptop with windows, and 2.50 Windows ZC Launcher isn't working. Is my computer too old or too new or what? :I

After further research, it turns out that I didn't put Screen-> before the function call that I made.

I've been having some weird things happen with my scripts recently that I figure I should report.

My quest heavily relies on a lot of global variables and stuff. It all seems to work fine and dandy, except for my shop script. It works fine for the most part, however it seems whenever I add/remove global variables, it messed it up by having it read all the wrong things. (Like, it'll use the wrong strings for the names and stuff). Mind you, if I start a fresh save, it all works fine. So I'm guessing that editing stuff like that is a bad idea for existing saves.

I'd assume this was a bug of some kind, but for all I know it could be something else. Keep in mind, it's only my strings arrays that seem to 'shift'. Prices show up and behave correctly. I'd be willing to send the quest file to a developer if they need it. :3

[Saffith]

Yeah, that's to be expected. Saved games store data for the scripts as they were at the time, so if your scripts change, existing saves aren't necessarily valid anymore.
It's a lot like changing your DMaps or items around, except mostly out of your control. The compiler maps your ZScript variables to ZASM's however it sees fit, and the game just has to assume they're all okay.

[SpacemanDan]

Hm...I was afraid it was something along those lines. Thanks for the response. I'll just have to be careful not to mess with variables too much once I get things rolling.

I'm not sure if this is an RC2 bug or just me, but when I was playing Light of the Heavens DX on RC2 (specifically this version, in case the database one changes), whenever I upgraded my sword, despite both subscreens showing the newer sword sprite, Link still wielded the previous sword. I even used the cheat to toggle swords on and off several different ways, even to higher level swords, and nothing worked. Eventually Russ had to throw a bugfix my way, twice, to fix this problem, since nothing I was trying was working. And apparently I'm the only one who had this problem, so I'm not sure if it's just me or RC2 was experiencing some odd bug. I haven't tried this with other quests, though I suppose I should, but in the meantime, I'm placing this here, in case there's an unknown bug that reared its head.

[Eurysilas]

The Mac version of RC2 doesn't work at all. Complains about a missing PNG-related library and won't start. How frightful!

[Saffith]

Did you download it from Shardstorm? this one should work.
