KilloZapit	I was going crazy trying to figure out why my code kept crashing verge 3. Then I figured it out! It will crash if you try to assign a string member of a struct that was defined after an array of the same type! Here is an example: struct somestruct { int someint; string somestring; } somestruct something[5000]; somestruct something2; void Autoexec() { something[1].someint=4; something[2].somestring="somebodyhatesme"; something2.someint=4; something2.somestring="somebodyhatesme"; // CRASH! } Posted on 2004-02-21 03:34:42
gungnir	Maybe it's just a typo, but shouldn't your struct have a ; after the closing brace? Posted on 2004-02-21 04:25:32
vecna	semicolons ending a struct in VC is optional. However, I know what the bug is. Its a bug in string array declarations (and the array of a struct which contains a string counts). I will be releasing a new EXE tommorow, it will fix it. Posted on 2004-02-21 04:32:02
gungnir	I have a an array of a structure containing a string in pepperX, but it doesn't cause any trouble... so I figured they were good. Then again, maybe I just got lucky :) Posted on 2004-02-21 04:54:50
vecna	They work within themselves, but any strings declared after the array has a screwed up offset. Posted on 2004-02-21 05:47:44
