Title: How do I scroll along Error messages
Post by: Lone~Wolf on 03 Nov 2010, 19:10:42

...to read what the h*** they're saying???  >:(

It's so annoying when it says ERROR: (and then gives you a long line of code).
How am I supposed to know what the error is if I can't see it?

If there isn't a way, could anyone volunteer suggestions as to how to be able to understand the error every time?

Thanks.

If you have DXDLL installed you can take a screenshot and then read it at your leisure. Perhaps it displays more of the message if you use a higher resolution? Hopefully it quotes enough of the line of code for you to find it.

You might also like to consider trying OFP Mission Development Environment (http://ofp.ruprt.cz/ofpmde/) by Ruprt (it is also included in the mod CSLA II). I haven't gotten into the habit of using it myself, but it is capable of spotting some coding errors.
