Pyro_dragons	That means you're missing and end " somewhere, probably on the line above the one specified, or on that line. Show the code around that line please.

Artemio	When there's an unterminated text compile error I've never seen it point to any relevant lines, but rather the .dme file's contents. The error is somewhere within the game. To the author, go through your code and pay very close attention to it, make sure there are the right amount of ", {}, and ()'s.

Pyro_dragons	#define FILE_DIR . What is this? Maybe you need the " around it. I don't have any idea.

Mar 16 2006, 6:02 pm In response to Pyro_dragons
VolksBlade	around it how?

Mar 16 2006, 6:03 pm In response to VolksBlade
Artemio	Volks, read my post. That's not the problem.

Mar 16 2006, 6:05 pm In response to Artemio
VolksBlade	problem of that is my auther is the coder and my coder has pretty much vanished..im thinking he blocked my msn but he's been painting houses so i dont know. all i know is that the problem is AFTER // END_INCLUDE

Mar 16 2006, 6:10 pm In response to VolksBlade
Artemio	Look, you need to read my post. The problem is not within the .dme file, whatever the compiler may say.

Listen, if you can't code, why bother posting on these forums? We can figure it out, and I've given you a way to do it. You can't rightfully put the blame on us, you expect us to give you this 100%-easy-to-do solution without providing hardly anything, and that's not right. If you can't program in DM, either learn or don't post on these forums until you can learn to fix things and provide information properly.

Mysame	Is everybody rampaging the Developer forum all of a sudden? Volks, it has NOTHING to do with the .dme . There's an error in one of your .dm (NORMAL coding files) where you forgot the close a text string. Thus,for example, you did this: world<<"Hiya See? You forgot the close it. Now look where it could be.
