Not sure if it will help but you can try adding WBStartup command before NPrint

Freeze and ceash, whatever I write.
The cursor slows down as I type, and randomly add ascii symbols.

amiblitz 2 works fine, but I want a decent editor.

settings wrong on winuae?

I give up using amiblitz3.

i use amiblitz2

consider that I am noob.

I want to create a structure like this:

NEWTYPE .chars
  name$
  x.q
  y.q
  animation.w
  energy.w
End NEWTYPE
Dim char.chars(0)


NEWTYPE .animations
  n_anim.w
  name_anim$
  speed_anim.q
  length_anim.q
  anim_sequence.q[100]
End NEWTYPE
Dim animation.animations(1)

NEWTYPE .frames
  piv_x.q
  piv_y.q
  height.q
  width.q
End NEWTYPE
Dim frame.frames(1)

the structure I would like to obtain is this

	player = 0
	curr_anim = 0 //idle
	chars(player).x =10
	chars(player)\animation(curr_anim)\n_anim = 0
	chars(player)\animation(curr_anim)\frame(0)\with = 0

and i need:

	player = 0
	curr_anim = 0 //idle
	chars(player).x =10
	chras(player)\animation(curr_anim)\anim_sequence(0) = 0

it's possible?

Thanxs for all help

Weirdness... I don't know what's going on there, but some people have reported Amiblitz 3.9 as being a little unstable and have had better luck with 3.8.0. It might be worth trying that instead. Also, bear in mind that you shouldn't install AmiBlitz as an update to an earlier version, but in a separate directory.

Edit: As for your question about Newtypes, it's a little confusing what you're trying to do. You can have nested Newtypes, and Newtypes can contain an array, but that array must be 1-dimensional, and is designated with square brackets instead. You need to define your Newtypes to include the array of the previous Newtypes to nest them. For example:

NEWTYPE .frames
  piv_x.q
  piv_y.q
  height.q
  width.q
End NEWTYPE

NEWTYPE .animations
  n_anim.w
  name_anim.s
  speed_anim.q
  length_anim.q
  anim_sequence.q[100]
  frame.frames[2]
End NEWTYPE

NEWTYPE .chars
  name.s
  x.q
  y.q
  animation.w
  energy.w
  animation.animations[2]
End NEWTYPE

Dim char.chars(1)


char(player)\x = 10
char(player)\animation(curr_anim)\n_anim = 0
char(player)\animation(curr_anim)\frame[0]\width = 0

char(player)\animation(curr_anim)\anim_sequence[0] = 0

Now, that *should* work (note I've also changed the $ to .s for strings inside the Newtype), though it feels like there might be a more efficient way of doing it. But only you know the layout of your game data so you can make that call

ok I'll try 3.8.0.

every time I deleted the whole folder and then I install the new version.

Thanks for BIG help

the version 3.8.0 run fine but when i compile & run, pop-up this message:

the vbr is currently located at memory address 0!
It is raccomanded to move VBR to Fast-Ram!
Use a tool like MPC, VBRControl etc..
The Debugger might cause enforcer hits now.


UPDATE
--------------------------
install VBControl and now work!!!!
Thanks to all for Help

I have several problems with ab3 3.9.x. i found it very unstable. Yes, 3.8 was far better in that issue.

What cpu do you have? There are programs yo move vbr to fast ram if you are not in pure 68000.

Just in case you missed it, I edited my post above with a suggestion about the Newtypes and Dims, but for whatever reason it didn't submit the first time so the edit only appeared much later.
