Woah there, buddy, lay down off the shift key.

Okay, first of all, when it says it can't be opened due to compilation errors, it means it can't be opened because there's something wrong when you compile. Please post the relevant code and the errors you get when you compile.

Compile the code (ctrl+K) to see what the error are. If any of the errors refer to the map file (such as an undedined path ... or something of the like), you just have to tweak that double clicking the error... well you have to double click the errors to quickly go to the source of the problem... :X

...I'm lazy to rephrase the above

what does "inconsistent identation" mean

In response to McDeath
heres what i have coded so far

mob
icon='person.dmi'
var hp=10
str=5
def=2
turf
grass
icon='person.dmi'
turf
water
icon='person.dmi'
icon_state="water"
density=1
world
name="my first game"
turf=/turf/grass icon_state="grass

1) Do not double post, just edit your last post!
2) Put code files using this: 
 CODE HERE


3) Indention errors refer that you have (usually) too many indent (spacing), such as [> will refer to 'tab spacing']

world
var
Ix=0

The var Ix is indented one too many time, it shouldve been >> but it was >>>

In your problem it was this:
world
name
turf

(Press ctrl+t to see these tab spacings though instead of one '>' or spacing, it'll be a smaller '>>')


4)Delete the second turf and properly fix the indent in world... which I done in the following:
mob
   icon='person.dmi'
   var hp=10
         str=5
         def=2
turf
    grass
         icon='person.dmi'
//  turf <-- delete this off if you want
    water
         icon='person.dmi'
         icon_state="water"
         density=1
world
    name="my first game"
    turf=/turf/grass icon_state="grass



Someone correct me if I am wrong :X

it still says inconsistant indentation
Oct 5 2005, 4:13 pm
In response to McDeath
OMG, read the number 1 thing I put down... no double posting!!!

Besides, it would be helpful to know which line is the inconsistant indentation at...afterall, we don't have your coding and uyou just gave us some codes expecting us to find out which one it was suppose to be

EDIT: I noticed the indention in vars so here's the top part:
mob
   icon='person.dmi'
   var
      hp=10
      str=5
      def=2


Maybe I shouldn't of helped you because you obviously didn't read what I said...

God, read my posts with the numbers a few posts ago, I told you to use

    var 
        hp=10

now its saying bad argument definition
mob
login() usr.icon_state=input("what gender")in list("male","female")
usr.move(locate(1,1,1))

Code:
mob
    login() usr.icon_state=input("what gender")in list("male","female")
             usr.move(locate(1,1,1))


Problem description:

there is a indentation error and a bad argument definition(?)

what are they
Oct 5 2005, 5:26 pm
In response to McDeath
 
mob
    Login()
    ..()
    usr.icon_state=input("what gender")in list("male","female")
    usr.loc = locate(1,1,1)
Oct 5 2005, 5:31 pm
In response to GhostAnime
It would be best to call ..() after they select a gender and after they're located so they can't do stuff while they're selecting.

Everything after login needs to be indented once more:

mob
    Login()
        ..()
        src.icon_state=input(src,"what gender")in list("male","female")
        src.loc = locate(1,1,1)

In response to McDeath
It is usually a better idea to use src in such situations as the Login proc, because depending on how it was called, usr may not always be the person.
icon_state=input(src,"what gender")in list("male","female")
loc=locate(1,1,1)

You could also put src. on the variables, although the src is already implied and not really needed.
