Hi guys,

Serte seems to be having a problem with the Boot_db error. I only managed to talk to him on otells, but this is what he told me:

A spindly, barb haired male human replies to you, OOC 'Boot_db: # not found. LINE: 1 Finished.'
A spindly, barb haired male human replies to you, OOC 'Just to be sure - the first line of my area should be #AREA Hillsafar Hall~, right?'
You reply to A spindly, barb haired male human, OOC 'Yip.'
A spindly, barb haired male human replies to you, OOC 'Hrm. Well, it seems to be reporting an error on line one.'

Might any of you know what the problem is?

Thanks!

Katie

That's everything up to #MOBILES, sans #QUESTS of course.
And here's the message I receive again.

You have an S at the end of JUSTICE instead of $. Could this be it?

Ellian · Post by **Ellian** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 8:51 pm

I noticed the S about two minutes after posting and ammended. I received the same error.

I'm going to poke around a little more and see if I can figure it out.

That's how the file starts? Cause I recieved the same error, but it was because I had something else at the very top. Not sure if that helps or not.

Ellian · Post by **Ellian** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 3:11 pm

I think the checker was adding formatting to my files, then picking up some invisible formatting characters. I figured that out, and progressed about 1600 lines into my code. Now, it's having the same problem that Argentia described, hanging up so I have to use end task to get it to go away.

Every time I try to add a quest log section on my area I get a bad db error. Here is what I have down for the section. Any help is appreciated. I took it from the quests section on the builder's lessons.

You need a tilda at the end of each line.

Elwin · Post by **Elwin** » Sat May 28, 2005 3:24 pm

Added the tildas, but it's still erroring out. And it's erroring on the #QUESTS line, which tells me that it's not recognizing that as a valid section, but I'm not an experienced builder, so I don't really know.

Elwin · Post by **Elwin** » Sat May 28, 2005 7:48 pm

downloaded what I think is the newest version of FKCheck from the builders lessons. It still gives me the same error. THis is what I have for my area.

<--------------- Dont put a whole question solution up on line like that!!!!! ----->

Send it to builders address if you need more help that gives away IC info.

I concur with Elwin... I DLed the AreaCheck off of the website link, and I still have to cut out my QUESTS sections to get it to run. Same error as Stayne posted a good while back if the QUESTS section is left in.

I also get error flags with all the new elf race flags on a mobile. Honestly it doesn't matter on a mobile, so I just find/replaced them all to RACE_ELF and that made it pass that part of the check.

Kregor · Post by **Kregor** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 3:50 pm

I found it!

And OOOOOoooo! It's in java now! I can run it on my mac without having to use Virtual PC.

EDIT: And it works so much smoother, and gives me the error a lot closer to the problem!

I love you guys!

I've run this through the FK check numerous times looking for problems but cant seem to get it past this point.
I've added the version I'm using just in case it's an old or invalid version and should be upgraded.

Area Syntax checker v2.0 FKMUD v2.0
Loaded Area.
Boot_db: # not found.
LINE: 31
Finished.

And using FK builder I also recieve this..

ERROR: Area.load: # not found.(Line 31)

Line 31 below is in bold and the entire opening section of the area is below that, any help would be greatly appreciated

AREA and AUTHOR should both have a ~ at the end of the line.
So should RESETMSG.

RANGES needs a $ after it.

I get this statement in regards to a skill trainer the value(8%) is from the line %8 2 climb~

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 10:13 am

I can't see the problem at first glance.

I spotted another small problem though... there are 2 lines with languages. The first one lists all the languages known to the mob; the second one lists the language the mob is currently speaking (by default) and should thus have only ONE language flag. Otherwise, it might create problems with PCs unable to understand the mob.

Japcil · Post by **Japcil** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:04 pm

Your missing the +2 after d10 or whatever number you choose, not sure if it has to be 2. Add that and you should be fine.

Rhytania · Post by **Rhytania** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:12 pm

That shouldnt affect the mobs training problems.

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:19 pm

That might be that... I think even "+0" have to be explicitly written.

Rhytania · Post by **Rhytania** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:34 pm

Hmm, so if thats the case would that also affect mobprogs, by not having the dx+x field populated?
