I am trying to bring my code from an earlier AppGameKit up to 1.08 b19

I keep getting this error
"array accessed with too few subscripts"

but my arrays are dimmed correctly, just as they've always been.

Please show where the 'm' array is defined.

line 819:
Dim m[100] as MonsterMaster

line 342:
Type MonsterMaster
n as string
desc as string
Race
Flee
HPmax
SciKill
Speed
Range
Damage
Reload
Melee
Power
Stationary
Breeder
Lurker

StormWalk

DropCommod

AttackWords as string
MeleeWords as string
Varieties As string
ExploType

Endtype

like I said, this has been working for 6 months.
then I "upgraded" to 108b19

and when I REM that call out, it just gives the same error, on another UDT, that has also been properly defined, somewhere else in the program.

there's also tons of 'out of bounds' checking

Is there a limit on the number of UDT properties?

In an unrelated question, 11k lines?! Have you considered breaking this down into separate smaller, more manageable files?

Even though the dim command is supposed to automagically make an array global, I always explicitly declare them as global.

Try changing 'Dim m[100] as MonsterMaster' to 'global dim m[100] as MonsterMaster'.

Also, check to make sure that the variables used as indices cannot possible be less than zero or more than one hundred. An out of bounds error sometimes reports incorrectly.

I will try the global thing, the next time I dare approach it.

I worked for one full day on getting it to run in 108b19.
I have since reverted to the earlier stable version,
where I experience none of these problems.

I will admit that 108b19 had some benefits over the existing version, but they don't outweigh random crashes.

About the "11k lines" , I get improper error line reporting when I split it up. I did split it up in b19, and that was nice,
but it didn't help anything.

As I stated above, I have done extensive "bounds" checking, to ensure that the variable is within the proper limits 1-100.

If you have out of bounds errors elsewhere that are not reported you can get random errors. AppGameKit doesn't report out of bounds errors on some arrays, multi dimensional ones IIRC, or was it typed.

i put it in a smaller code for testing, but here i get no compiler error.
maybe the error comes from elsewhere.

yes, Markus - but you don't have an 11,000 line file!

-- Jim - When is there going to be a release?

ok, its not impossible that the error comes from too much lines of code
but i don't think so.
i believe the compiler collect all code in one "file" or in memory
and then it will compiled.

Did you ever get this problem sorted IBOL? What caused it in the end?

I ask because I have exactly the same error, and I've been ripping what remaining hair I have out trying to determine why it's happening.

>Edit<
I should say I'm using build 108.21

Hi, my friend
no I never had any luck.
I didn't have TIME to fight with it.
I still don't. I have a release schedule.
I reverted to an old version and plowed ahead.
what it *did* do was add the windows 8 bug, that I didn't used to get.

However, one day in the shower, months later,
I THINK I SOLVED IT!
I haven't tried it,
but here the idea:

Some of my arrays are small things like m[] and mi[].
I know for a fact that I sometimes declare just plain old M as a variable sometimes, because I call m[m].n and stuff.

I am thinking that THAT is the problem.
I need to do a 'replace' of all my array NAMES, to something like "Monster Master" (which is what m[] stands for).

But I haven't tried it yet. It is my secret hope that I can make it work.

I would love to know if you find this helpful.

I fixed it..

I had an array ( scrollerID[0]), which I was trying to access using a number greater than 0.

It was not however the array that the error messages were telling me about.

Not a big surprise. Hopefully the new compiler will be much better at catching these.

Yes, I'm hoping V2 catches things better. I've had a few coding errors that give completely odd error messages and point to totally innocent lines only to find an obvious syntax style error later.
