Try compiling ffcscript.zh directly.

How would I do that?

[anikom15]

Load ffcscript.zh into the buffer and hit compile

[Cukeman]

Well, when I go click Import, only .z files are listed, .zh files are not.

I don't know if there's actually any difference between .zh files and .z files, but in this case you could just save it as a .z temporarily and it shouldn't cause any problems.

I imported it as a .z file and I got the error

 

tmp, line 28: error s09: variable null is undeclared

NULL is a constant in std.zh. Try importing that and see if it works.

Well... the first two lines of my script were

 

import "std.zh"

import "ffcscript.zh"

 

Then I was asked to import ffcscript.z on its own. Is there something I'm missing here?

So dumb question for you: Do you actually have ffcscript.zh in your 2.5 folder?

Yes, ffscript.zh is broken, which is why all your scripts are broken. Why don't you paste ffscript.zh here?

Yup.

Okay, but I don't believe I have ever made any changes to it:

 

code

// Combo to be used for generic script vehicle FFCs.
// This should be an invisible combo with no type or flag.
const int FFCS_INVISIBLE_COMBO = 1;

// Range of FFCs to use. Numbers must be between 1 and 32.
const int FFCS_MIN_FFC = 1;
const int FFCS_MAX_FFC = 32;




int RunFFCScript(int scriptNum, int args)
{
    ffc theFFC;
    
    // Find an FFC not already in use
    for(int i=FFCS_MIN_FFC; i<=FFCS_MAX_FFC; i++)
    {
        theFFC=Screen->LoadFFC(i);
        
        if(theFFC->Script!=0 || (theFFC->Data!=0 && theFFC->Data!=FFCS_INVISIBLE_COMBO))
            continue;
        
        // Found an unused one; set it up
        theFFC->Data=FFCS_INVISIBLE_COMBO;
        theFFC->Script=scriptNum;
        
        if(args!=NULL)
        {
            for(int j=0; j<8; j++)
                theFFC->InitD[j]=args[j];
        }
        
        return i;
    }
    
    // No FFCs available
    return 0;
}

ffc RunFFCScriptOrQuit(int scriptNum, int args)
{
    int ffcID=RunFFCScript(scriptNum, args);
    if(ffcID==0)
        Quit();
    return Screen->LoadFFC(ffcID);
}

int FindFFCRunning(int scriptNum)
{
    ffc f;
    
    for(int i=1; i<=32; i++)
    {
        f=Screen->LoadFFC(i);
        if(f->Script==scriptNum)
            return i;
    }
    
    // No FFCs running it
    return 0;
}

int FindNthFFCRunning(int scriptNum, int n)
{
    ffc f;
    
    for(int i=1; i<=32; i++)
    {
        f=Screen->LoadFFC(i);
        if(f->Script==scriptNum)
        {
            n--;
            if(n==0)
                return i;
        }
    }
    
    // Not that many FFCs running it
    return 0;
}

int CountFFCsRunning(int scriptNum)
{
    ffc f;
    int numFFCs=0;
    
    for(int i=1; i<=32; i++)
    {
        f=Screen->LoadFFC(i);
        if(f->Script==scriptNum)
            numFFCs++;
    }
    
    return numFFCs;
}

Good to see you again my friend.

ffcscript has been updated since then, redownload it. Any other error messages appeared when you tried to recompile?

OMG thank you! I had no idea that it needed to be updated (or that there was an update). Everything is running smoothly again . Strangely enough this allowed me to discover something. When certain scripts weren't working/compiling/whatever a certain item on my passive subscreen animated properly, now that they are functioning again, that item is not animating correctly.

The problem here was ffcscript.zh requires std.zh. When you are compiling a header or script "on it's own" keep std.zh(and any other required headers) in there.

[Cukeman]

Ugh, I spoke too soon. The scripts that weren't working before do indeed work now, BUT other scripts that were working before have stopped working... SIGH 

[Russ]

Which ones in particular stopped working?
