I am having some difficulty converting from pol095 to pol096 - listed below is the error I get when trying to run the pol.exe:

Loading package in pkg/systems/spawnpoint/

If anyone can assist me in getting past this point, it would be great.

Thanks!

as it says, recompile required. Whenever changing the core, you should make sure all the files of the new core replace all of the ones for the old core. Next delete ALL .ecl files in your shard's path. Then hit ecompile to recompile all of the scripts on your shard.

Hey, i had the same problem and i did as you said CWO

Tho now when i ecompile it means all my "re-writing" will begin?
Because i get this error:



And im sure there will be more, by the way, i need help with my error, someone know what it means and what i should do?

Open up animal.src and paste the lines around line 30, and the function CloseDistance.

What distro are you using?

Hail! i got it working, thanks for replying thought.

Problem:
case Distance( me, opponent) to
case( Distance( me, opponent))

Big credits to taxman and bracco for helping me
and you for trying to helping me

As you might have to find out, if it means a rewrite or redoing of your scripts, thats what you're going to have to do. You must always with any core change, recompile your scripts. I'm not talking just from 095 to 096 to 097 ect... even between subversions of the same core, you must recompile otherwise face a very high possibility or even guarantee of strange crashes.
