Hello everyone, how y'all doing? Anyway, straight to business!
After a prayer (honestly!), I finally managed to make DB V5.0 run my creations (THANK GOD!
)
This should work for everyone
that has at least managed to get the demo's working (unless you have heavily edited them!)
-First off, make sure u have DX 9.0b (Check DirectX Diagnostics: DXDiag.exe) look @ other posts on DB v5.0 for other ideas if neccesary.
-Backup all your creations/projects/work etc (this is something u should always do!)
-Make sure you are updating/have updated DB to V5.0 from a fresh install or on Ver 4.1 (not beta's)
-Now here comes the science bit, what i've found is that DB V5.0 no longer sees `remend as a closed remstart, which means that:
remstart
print "Hello"
`remend
is not seen as a valid closed remstart/remend! This is totally fine in earlier version of DB, but not in v5, You have to remove all of these so they are like this (below) otherwise it reports errors, or simply runs nothing!:
remstart
print "Hello"
remend
OR
remstart
print "Hello"
` remend
if you want it left open like this so you can quickly open/close them like i do that should be ok:
`remstart
print "Hello"
`remend
but if you want to be safe change it to this:
`remstart
print "Hello"
rem remend
OR
`remstart
print "Hello"
` remend
you can do a search/replace
search "`remend" | replace "` remend"
but be carefull you don't make mistakes. Doing a Find/Find Again(F3) on "`remend" string & changing as necessary will be fine also.
This must be done everywhere including subs, functions, include files etc...
-REMEMBER to Backup all your creations/projects/work prior to this, cause if it don't work, and your stuff end's up not working along wit' it, you'll only have one person to blame & it ain’t me!!!
I hope this works/helps everyone that needs to get their creations running again, if it doe's, get testing, report any bugs and let's unleash some sexy (almost bug free) DB content out there!!!
BTW
So far though, DB still gets very (VERY) slow with multiple colour/size text/print commands! Anyone have any ideas?
At least the Music Playing() command works, still lots of testing to do though!
Defanual
