Don't you just need to see the system.vc because that's the only file with anything about the code I copied and pasted from JTBM? So I will just send you that.

Yeah, sometimes it's hard to track down an error if you've only got the one file. If I had the whole thing then I could tinker with things, run it, look at error messages, that sort of thing.
But! Maybe looking at system.vc is enough. I took a look and I think your problem is that you want to have your #includes at the beginning of the file... so just move the two #include lines that you have after autoexec() to before it.
Also, you'll want to add
int img_flatblack = NewImage(320,240);
int img_flatwhite = NewImage(320,240);
before the autoexec function as well.
Give that a try!

It still says "error! setDefaultPlayerCHR() is not a valid keyword or identifier!" Is the problem in mapswitch.vc and transitions.vc?Because those are blank.

Aha! That would be the problem then. There's nothing special about those names -- what #include does is it goes and grabs that other file and includes it into the current file so you can access any functions defined in it.
Grab the mapswitch.vc and transitions.vc files from JtBM and replace your blank ones with them. Sorry for the confusion!

Hmmm. This is what I have for the mapswitch function but it doesn't seem to be working.
void MapSwitchThree()
{
Switch("xermasworld.map",20,8,"R",TRANS_FADE);
}

The error says expecting and int, but the string expression, " ", was found instead.

This is what i used for mapswitch.
void NorthZoneToMumjarSea()
{
mapswitch("island.map", 0, 7, "R", TRANS_BOX);
}
Now I use the V1 rpg library so its.
void NorthZoneToMumjarSea()
{
SetFaceMidWarp( FACE_RIGHT );
V1_MapSwitch( _map_MumjarSea, 0, 7, TBLACK);
}
In the sytem file I put:
string _map_MumjarSea = "island.map";
to identify the map.

Thank you for helping, but I need Kildorf's help with this because we have been working this out. It's only because he gave me specific files to put into my game.

I have the same thing that you do for your mapswitch but I still have the error box.

This is what I have for my mapswitch function and system.vc mapswitch function.
void MapSwitchThirtyTwo()
{
Switch("tombthree.map", 8, 2, "U", TRANS_FADE);
}
-mapswitch
void Switch(string mapname, int x, int y, int face, int trans)
{
if(trans == TRANS_BOX) {
BoxOut(14);
} else if(trans == TRANS_FADE) {
FadeOut(65);
}
mapSwitchT = trans;
mapswitchX = x;
mapswitchY = y;
mapswitchF = face;
Map(mapname);
}
-system.vc
and the error box is "Expected and int, but the string expression, "", was found instead."

In your system.vc add:
string _map_tombthree = "tombthree.map";
then use:
Switch( _map_tombthree, 8, 2, "U", TRANS_FADE );
(make sure this is in the map vc file.)
Not sure if that will work for your issue, but worth a try.

I will try that but wouldn't I need to do that same thing for every map also?

I tried it and it said 'expecting a variable or function declaration' in the system vc where i put string_map_tombthree = "tombthree.map";

Make sure there's a space between string and _map_tombthree. I'm not sure why there is a underscore before _map, but I just use it because that's what I learned from some sample code and it worked.
string _map_tombthree = "tombthree.map";
If it still doesnt work, I suggest using the mapswitch and transition from kildorf's game. (That's what i used before i switched to the V1_rpg library.) Copy those 2 files(mapswitch/transitions) from JourneyToBlackMountain to your main folder, then #include them in your system.vc. Then use something like:
void ZoneToYourMap()
{
mapswitch("yourmap.map", 10, 10, "U", TRANS_BOX);
}
in your map vc file.
I'm still new to all of this myself. I know the forums are rather quiet so trying to help if I can. Good luck.
