Iam Writing files in the size of 98-104 kb and they get scrambled at the end somehow?

Agk miss lines at the end its supposed to write?

Iam only using writeline.

seams to be a bug in agk if anyone else could confirme this.

if i do
opentowrite
for x=1 to 20
for y=1 to 20
write a silly amount of lines with writeline
next y
next x
closefile

But if i Close the file and open to write with append on inside the for to x loop.
so do i seam to reftesh something in agk and it works as it should.

So agk dont seam to like if you have the file open and write large chunks of dat in one go.

I have an 888kb file (15200 lines) written entirely using WriteLine in one go and have had no problems.

I'm using 1.076 Tier 2 so maybe it's a Tier 1 problem or a new bug in a later version?

Thats pretty weird as in my program so does it Always scramble the last parts but i use alot of floats converted to strings and long lines.
But this coulkd maybe also be an str() bug somehow?
As van and i noticed in our Project that the output from str() gets messed up sometimes and we dont know why?

Her is how my file looks when its output right.
sections like this is repeated in the file 150-200 times.
I couldt post the entire file as its huge

Quite possibly. My output is a load of scripts so they are mostly already strings with less use of str()

More like:

If you can narrow it down to a small example that displays the problem I'll take a look

In this section of code

you are loading the file before it is closed. Before the CloseFile() command the contents of the file is undefined as the writes may be batched waiting for you to write more before actually writing it all to the file. Once it is closed everything is flushed to the file and you can use it with LoadObject.

Paul caught it.

The Add_Plane_Floor function that works actively opens and closes the file as needed. The one that doesn't does NOT close the file.

I missed that one

I have so many lines of code that i miss the one in front

Because iam sure i made it exactly as the first time ?

But it works in the editor now

Thats the reason i ask others to test Before reporting anything
But i did find the float rounding bug when Writing my raycaster

Quote: "@Cliff
i try your example with 108 beta 12, look same (without your random texture coords.)
for a while i had some strange linebreaks (windows<>linux) in editor
and the compiler saw different code as i saw in the editor.
did your code in agk ide looks same in notepad? "

The weirdness you mention do i belive i experienced when i copy code from the forum in to the compiler sometimes?

Iam not sure but i had this a short while back and it whas pretty weird.
