ENIGMA Development Environment

I deleted everything, redownloaded and reinstalled. Now it can't find the winmake.txt file

Unhandled Exception:
org.lateralgm.file.GmFormatException - java.io.FileNotFoundException: winmake.txt (Impossibile trovare il file specificato)

Stack trace:

And it asked me to update to v457 then to v458, something is wrong.

I also needed to rename make. I also installed OpenAl, but I didn't check if I even needed to. Thou when I launch LGM it asks me if I want to download r435, and when I press Yes, I think it downloads all of those files, but the next time I run LGM it asks me if I want to update to r435 again. Also, in help>about it says r456, so it asks me to download an older version?

Besides this, I can complile and run games. I tried r9k example and it runs.

Same forced update here, on Win XP, and same version in About.

Plus the Make thing doesn't work.

Can we build up a list of things that are missing from gml somewhere?

There is, here

BTW, my winmake.txt file points to \MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe but I still get an error

----Make returned error 2----------------------------------

I had to install Make too. Then LGM worked and asked me to update some other libraries.

It didn't say I needed to check Make too! Do I have to install that too?

Here's another problem

Does it support the instance_find() function? I'm using it a lot.

Yeah, probably it won't be a big deal, but I'm already deal with a lot.

If I make a save system for the map, and one for the units using that map, I'd better dump the GM's save completely.

Thanks God I'm safe with the lists, but I may crash the game since I'll have hundreds of units shooting thousands of bullets.
My collision system has been designed to do exactly that since the beginning, and if I can't use it to its full potential, that's a pity.

Couldn't Enigma fix this mess? To Hell with compatibility, I want to make a serious game!

@Ism
Ok, that makes me feel better, but it's still a stupid limitation. I'd better not make the bullets instances at all. Ray tracing YAY!

EDIT: yeah, I destroy almost every list, and there shouldn't be memory leaks. Plus I already have ray-tracing bullets.

I've seen it trow me errors when I load objects with lists inside. I just don't know ehat the heck is going on inside there.

No, it's erroring because ds_lists (and other data structures) are not saved, and thus, when you load and try to access your old ds_list, it is now gone. According to the GM Manual in the section for Data Structures (which you've clearly taken the time to read):

Quote

Please note that data structures and their content are not saved when you save the game using the actions or functions for that. If you use data structures and want to allow for saves you have to create your own mechanims for that.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!



Now I have to make my save system for that too?!
