Ya llegamos a las 900 lineas de c??digo en ANSI C para maps.c y 280 para maps.h. Falta terminar algunas cosas del manejo de puertas. Terminamos de entender casi la totalidad del formato, las partes m??s utiles ya est??n descubiertas. Solo falta investigar una serie de bloques de memoria cuya funci??n no altera a los niveles.

Adem??s est?? programado prexe.c, m??dulo encargado de editar ciertos strings en prince.exe.

Tambi??n tenemos muy avanzado prhof.c que edita el Hall Of Fame.

Para este fin de semana voy a estar terminando prsav.c, m??dulo encargado de editar los juegos grabados.

Con estos m??dulos vamos a estar en condiciones de desarrollar prrun.c, m??dulo cuyo objetivo es ejecutar prince.exe o archivos cambiados, seguir el proceso, manejar corredas de debug, etc.

I always get a runtime 200 error when I try running it on winme, and in pure dos on mine comp. I works nice on the other computer, but that comp is so slow, that makes it impossible to use it. Please help!!! And please write english.

Nice prog, only I could get it work on the other comp

Runtime error 200 was division by Zero, this is the famous CRT Borland Pascal bug. With Pentium II and later you were not able to run the program, but don't worry, I've replaced the ZIP file with this error patched. It was patched on 2003-04-02, so I think you have downloaded before that and posted the message later.

Well, so the solution is: [b]download it again[/b] and enjoy it. If the problem persist please ask again and I will personally recompile the code without CRT unit and solve the error.

Thanks for replying!
Works now after I've downloaded the new one.

By the way, I'm working on a level.dat file now. How can I link a button to the big Finish door, and other doors? I just cant figure it out.

When can i downlod POP Level Editor v. 3.0 ?

Post by **poirot** » April 8th, 2003, 8:17 pm

Princed V3 will come out next month (may) I think, it depends on the testers and the beta team.
Door Linking & guard handling will be easier, so you can continue using Princed V2.5 and when PV3 is finnished, you can edit the door linking and guards.
If you like, When you finnish, I can publish your levels.dat in the www.princed.com.ar page.

I was the same desperate as you than you when I started coding it.

I'm sending a mail to you by now!
