6.005 Update

[bigsofty]

Cant download it when I try the Web Update from IDE, says my 5.360 version is up to date?

(Had a wee look at the online log, another great update Gernot!)

[mull]

by me the same !

I love the fact that GLBasic is constantly growing and improving.  Way to go Gernot! 

[Edit] Whoops forgot to add that I can't update through the web update program either.  Just been reading the changelog.

How do you know about 6.005?? It's the current beta. I suggest you not to try it until I release it

[Hatonastick]

Really?  The info is in the changelog in the news section of the official website.

[Kitty Hello]

Ah! The changelog. Sorry for that.

[Moru]

Sounds like an automated changelog that is a bit too eager? :-)

I have been here trying to update every time I pass the computer :-)

No piece of knowledge passes without my knowing, my spies are everywhere! ... OK, I saw it on the news page too... hehe

I've got the update and it's not even online yet. 
Ok, maybe not.

I'm getting some problems compiling two of my games in the 6.034Beta (others compile without problem). Both seem to have problems with ReadByte - to load in data. What's changed in this area?

Compiling B'lox! (which definitely compiled properly for PC and GP2X in earlier versions) gave this error -

*** Configuration: WIN32 ***
precompiling:

READBYTE needs an integer I think, try declaring it:

GLOBAL byte%
READBYTE 1, byte

[Ian Price]

Yep that did the trick. Cheers Moru


Right. Next question. The "GP2X-WIZ" compile option doesn't appear to be working just yet - despite playing with the Project Settings, I get an error message. Am I missing something, or is it not supported in this release?
