Ender's Scratch Tutorials

I can't get his tutorials to work. They compile fine, but when I run the game, I get the "progs.dat system vars have been modified, progdefs.h is out of date" error. I think it might be that I'm using a different compiler than he used. I'm using FrikQCC. I've only tried his first tutorial so far. The other ones might work - I don't know.

Classic error. Mean you added fields ( like .float whatever; ) before the "end mark of engine fields". So the engine think is a progrs.dat for a different game! ( hexen, etc.).
Maybe the build order is not good and your defs.qc or whatever is not the first.

heh, I thought that was the problem too, but I tried compiling with a Defs.qc straight from progs1.06, and it still gave the error.. maybe it didn't use that Defs.qc for some reason.. I'll go back and try again.

You're not trying to run it in a non standard engine, e.g. Tenebrae are you?

[Pulseczar]

I figured out the problem.. I had a function prototypes file being compiled before defs.. and it apparently affected its parsing of the defs, or something.. cool.. thanks for everyone's help, though.

edit: damn.. his Scratch tutorial is unfinished.

yep, can't have anything before the special stuff at the beginning of defs

Specifically you can't do anything you want until after 'void end_sys_globals;' and 'void end_sys_fields;'
