Right, I've been thinking about this for some time and I've decided to start it. But first I need good content, so if anyone has something he knows is a bit tricky or something he/she had trouble with, please post it. Any advice is welcome. I think I'll keep a summary of things in this top post, seems handy. Please note that I use 0.84a, while 0.83 can be handled as well, I'm not handling 0.84b Current Items - Some fancy introduction, etc, etc, etc. what/why/etc - How FXI and FXC work - Basic setup using any text editor and command.com or cmd.exe or a file explorer - Setting it up in ConTEXT - Tips, tricks and hints (post those too if you know any) - Bugs and their work arounds (idem, work arounds not obligatory) - Differences with DIV (maybe) Current Tips, tricks and hints - drawing (difference between drawing_z() and drawing_map() and their consequences) - using includes Current Bugs and their work arounds - first local you define becomes corrupt workaround: define a first local and dont use it. - strings in large switches will cause failure workaround: use a lot of IF()s [Edited on January 9, 2006 by Sandman] ____________ BennuWiki Yes, my avatar has grey borders in IE (so get a decent browser) ROOFLEZ ROOFLEZ |

Quoting Caspah: sandman what have i done wrong (clicky)? ive got these settings, restarted context, but f10 still gives me a "no user defined function, please go to options->environment options" error Yes, you must lose the dot in ".prg" so it will say "prg", tripped over that myself too, I'll state that clearly in the readme and the coming quickstart.

thanks sandman, f10 now works, but i have another problem, everytime i run a program it deletes the fxi and fxc files and i have to copy them back into the fenix folder from a backup. This gets excessively annoying, is it necessary for the batchfiles to delete the fxi and fxc?

This gets excessively annoying, is it necessary for the batchfiles to delete the fxi and fxc? Edit the batch file so that it copies and renames rather then just renames. I'm guessing here since I odn't know what the batch file containts. ____________ I see 57,005 people. |

It is not necessary, but I did it to avoid having hundreds of FXI's and FXC's. You can edit the batchfiles to delete the lines causing the FXI and FXC to be deleted, but then you could also delete the copy lines. This way it will always use the same FXI and FXC and they won't get deleted. Why do you want the FXI and FXC there anyway?

It seems that the batchfile is unable to copy the FXC and FXI and the only reason I can think of is that the wrong directory is specified (the xxxxxx dir).

hm its all spelled out right, im sure. but anyways i just removed the delete commands, and although it gives me a warning in the console that it cant copy over itself, it otherwise works fine, there arent hundreds of fxis and fxcs.

I meant hundreds for each program/project you have i.e. each directory. Glad it works.
