v0.97a and v0.97b: error message for unspecified script

(1/2) > >>

selden:
When running either Anim8or v0.97a or v0.97b, I discovered that they're generating a script error message when loading scripts but do not indicate what script has the error. All of the scripts listed claim to have 0 errors. See below.

Here's the output seen in the debug window:

--- Code: ---
Compiling "C:\ScsiData\3DModlers\anim8or\export_cmod_plugin.a8s":
507 lines 0 errors
Compiling "C:\ScsiData\3DModlers\anim8or\loft.a8s":
226 lines 0 errors
Compiling "C:\ScsiData\3DModlers\anim8or\loft2.a8s":
329 lines 0 errors
Compiling "C:\ScsiData\3DModlers\anim8or\material_1.a8s":
37 lines 0 errors
missing or invalid directive, script not installed
Compiling "C:\ScsiData\3DModlers\anim8or\spring_plugin_1.a8s":
231 lines 0 errors
Compiling "C:\ScsiData\3DModlers\anim8or\torusa_plugin.a8s":
82 lines 0 errors
Compiling "C:\ScsiData\3DModlers\anim8or\torus_plugin.a8s":
82 lines 0 errors

--- End code ---

Tanzim:
Yes, that's the Debug output, it shows if there's errors or not, it's used by programmers to check whether their scripts have problems

selden:
Tanzim,

I know that.
The bug in Anim8or is that it does not say what script is generating the error message

--- Code: ---missing or invalid directive, script not installed
--- End code ---
It only lists the scripts which have no errors.

Kubajzz:
That's not a bug. I think that message doesn't belong to any of the scripts that were loaded, it belongs to another script which is not listed in the debug output.

I bet one of the a8s files in your scripts directory is missing in the debug output. Try to find out which one is missing and check the code, there will be an error in one of the first rows (you can post the code here if you don't understand ASL...)

selden:
Kubajzz,

Anim8or should list the names of all of the scripts that it is trying to load, whether or not they fail to load. There is no way to know a priori if anim8or might happen to have another bug which prevents some scripts from loading with no error messages whatsoever.

Also, when many scripts are involved, and if more than one has a bug, it can be very difficult to find the ones that are not listed.

While one can in principle search through the scripts directory to find them, comparing the file names one at a time to the list that loaded, this is an inconvenience which should be unnecessary.
