• command shell probs.

    From -oblivious-@EOB to All on Saturday, January 27, 2001 11:20:00
    hello, i've been making my own command shell for sync, and i keep running
    into this problem:

    after i really mod out the .src (putting in extra-non-conflicting cmd keys), i log on, and i go around into all the different areas, testing it out,
    and randomly, it screws up, saying "error in command shell".

    this is entirely random, sometimes it's when I hit Q to quit to main, for example. regardless, this happens a lot, even when i modded out the renegade command shell,etc.

    now, what am i doing wrong that it RANDOMLY goes to the fall through
    hangup command? also, i'd like to add that i put end_cmd after every cmd_key i had in my shell.

    is it because the src file is now TOO LARGE, and it's now shitting itself
    when i'm going through the menus quickly?

    could it be because there's too many BLANK LINES <CR>?

    i've rigged it so it doesnt hang up on the user and it just takes them
    to main, recommending that they log off and call back to fix the problem.

    i'd appreciate it if anyone NON SNOTTY could help me out with this, and
    for those snotty people: YES, i compiled the .src with baja after i edited it. :)
    -Thanks,
    jAS

    # print "Time Used: [@TUSED@] "

    end_if

    The only thing that springs immediately to the eye is this snippet on or about line 409 (just after the start of the "Message Area").

    Notice that there is an "end_if" for which the matching "if_true" has been commented out? This is likely to do unexpected things to the stack. Try changing this for a start.

    Of course, this may be completely unrelated to your problem, but even so it would be a good idea to correct it...

    thanks for the feeback, will do... oh, i did figure out what the prob was..
    i was missing cmd_home in one of my areas...i simplified it, made it more
    like a batch file (ie: ":main;:msg,etc") and it works great now... i also
    added some random menus, since now i've been programming baja games now.
