Error in the latest uo.em file

[Yukiko]

In corechanges,txt two new flags were added:

12-05-2012 Tomi:
...
Changed: UO:ListMobilesNearLocationEx added 2 new flags LISTEX_FLAG_PLAYERS_ONLY and LISTEX_FLAG_NPC_ONLY

However there's a syntax error in the LISTEX_FLAG_NPC_ONLY declaration.
It currently reads:

Code: Select all

cosnt LISTEX_FLAG_NPC_ONLY := 0x20;

It should read:

Code: Select all

const LISTEX_FLAG_NPC_ONLY := 0x20;

I'll take this opportunity to thank the devs who commit to the repo for keeping the corechanges.txt file updated. I would have had a bear of a time finding this if you folks weren't so diligent in documenting changes. All eCompile gave me as an error was:

Compiling: C:/pol_Latest/scripts/ai/animal.src
Error reading function declaration in module uo
Compilation failed.
Execution aborted due to: Error compiling file

Thanks for this information, fixed in last rev

This error was wriggling my brain. thankyou so much

(downloaded latest rev 3 days ago before the typo was fixed and didnt realize it was up to 612 already from 609!)

Yeah. eCompile's error report was vague at best. So after manually looking at uo.em for about 15 minutes I decided to look at the corechanges.txt file to see if there had been any changes to uo.em since the last revision (or whenever I had last updated and compiled). When I saw the new const declarations listed in corechanges I took a look at those and found the typo. As I mentioned above if those hadn't been documented it would have been a bear to find. I would have had to read every line in uo.em looking for the problem. Using a code highlighting editor helps too but corechanges certainly pinpointed where to look.

So again, thanks to the commiters for keeping corechanges.txt updated.

Today I downloaded latest core from 2013-09-03 for win & linux system (ubuntu).
After recompile, I have too many errors with

Error reading function declaration in module uo

Yukiko, how u fixed this problem?

With best regards!

[Harley]

Have been fixed.
Problem was in my function PlaySound
I didn't find at uo.em this function, but when I added "_" = Play_Sound - the problem disappeared!
