I saw a lot of issues closed lately so wanted to compile the current version of engine for PC to do some testing myself. But this version of engine crashes

says Unable to load file 'data/sprites/arrowl'

now i looked in folder and theres these new files i did not create !

arrowl.png 0MB blank file arrowl.gif 0MB blank file arrowl.bmp 0MB blank file arrowl.pcx 0MB blank file

I am guessing engine created these for some reason and thought I would report.

So i then copied and renamed a different file as arrowl.png and ran engine again and now it crashes with

Failed to parse script file: 'data/scripts/updated.c'!

here is what log says

`Loading scripts.............. Identifier expected before 'long'.

In file included from data/scripts/updated.c, line 3: Script error: data/scripts/gettick.c, line 7: Invalid external declaration 'long' (in production 'external_decl')

and here is my updated.c

`#include "data/scripts/story/story_define.h"

include "data/scripts/story.c"

include "data/scripts/gettick.c"

void zoom() { void vscreen = openborvariant("vscreen"); int maxz=openborvariant("PLAYER_MAX_Z")+1000; int zoom_value=getglobalvar("zoomvalue"); int zoom_x=getglobalvar("zoomx"); int zoom_y=getglobalvar("zoomy"); void ent=getglobalvar("zoomentity"); int px=getentityproperty(ent,"x") + zoom_x - openborvariant("xpos"); int py=getentityproperty(ent,"z") + zoom_y - openborvariant("ypos") - getentityproperty(ent,"a"); void zoom_scr = getglobalvar("zoomscreen"); if(!zoom_scr){ zoom_scr = allocscreen(openborvariant("hResolution"),openborvariant("vResolution")); setglobalvar("zoomscreen",zoom_scr); } clearscreen(zoom_scr);

//draw what we need drawspriteq(zoom_scr,0,openborconstant("MIN_INT"),maxz,0,0); //setup drawMethod changedrawmethod(NULL(),"reset",1); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"enabled",1); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"scalex",zoom_value); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"scaley",zoom_value); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"centerx",px); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"centery",py); //Draw the resized customized screen to main screen. drawscreen(zoom_scr,px,py, maxz+1); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"enabled", 0); drawspriteq(vscreen, 0, maxz+1,maxz+1, 0, 0); drawspriteq(vscreen, 0, maxz+2,openborconstant("MAX_INT"), 0, 0); clearspriteq(); }

void main(){ MainLoop(); if(getglobalvar("zoomentity")) { zoom();
} }

void MainLoop(){ if(openborvariant("in_level")) {

    turnWhite();
    storySystem();
}

} `

Hope this info helps troubleshoot etc.

UPDATE: then just returned to older version of engone and removed save and config files and now that crashed due to updated.c so im guessing something was altered and corrupted ? luckily i had a backed up version of my game so here is the updated.c before using the new version of engine (I cant see any changes when glancing at it)

`#include "data/scripts/story/story_define.h"

include "data/scripts/story.c"

include "data/scripts/gettick.c"

void zoom() { void vscreen = openborvariant("vscreen"); int maxz=openborvariant("PLAYER_MAX_Z")+1000; int zoom_value=getglobalvar("zoomvalue"); int zoom_x=getglobalvar("zoomx"); int zoom_y=getglobalvar("zoomy"); void ent=getglobalvar("zoomentity"); int px=getentityproperty(ent,"x") + zoom_x - openborvariant("xpos"); int py=getentityproperty(ent,"z") + zoom_y - openborvariant("ypos") - getentityproperty(ent,"a"); void zoom_scr = getglobalvar("zoomscreen"); if(!zoom_scr){ zoom_scr = allocscreen(openborvariant("hResolution"),openborvariant("vResolution")); setglobalvar("zoomscreen",zoom_scr); } clearscreen(zoom_scr);

//draw what we need drawspriteq(zoom_scr,0,openborconstant("MIN_INT"),maxz,0,0); //setup drawMethod changedrawmethod(NULL(),"reset",1); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"enabled",1); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"scalex",zoom_value); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"scaley",zoom_value); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"centerx",px); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"centery",py); //Draw the resized customized screen to main screen. drawscreen(zoom_scr,px,py, maxz+1); changedrawmethod(NULL(),"enabled", 0); drawspriteq(vscreen, 0, maxz+1,maxz+1, 0, 0); drawspriteq(vscreen, 0, maxz+2,openborconstant("MAX_INT"), 0, 0); clearspriteq(); }

void main(){ MainLoop(); if(getglobalvar("zoomentity")) { zoom();
} }

void MainLoop(){ if(openborvariant("in_level")) {

    turnWhite();
    storySystem();
}

} `

NOTE I am using unpacked version of game with data folder and empty.pak

when i test with a packed version of game it works ! so there is a issue with the engine corrupting files in data folder ! this is a huge bug and hopefully doesnt corrupt or destroy anyones work ! Hoping I have reported in time to prevent anyone heartache
