My project does not compile after patch3.
I get the error message:

#100047:Both user defined type values must use the same type at line ###.

I think I found the problem. User defined types don't work properly INSIDE FUNCTIONS (they did before the patch).

Here is an example of a short code that creates the same error:



Does it compile on your machine (after patch 3) ?

Aviv, I've the same problem. I can't even compile my project now. My project is a main loop that calls all the functions my project needs and I've used user defined types. The whole lot is in functions, I could scream!!!

I'm really beginning to lose intrest now. First a week wasted because of strings not working correctly then another week trying to get collision to work. Then patch 2 comes out and it fixes some of my problems but creates a new one where the ambient lighting in a bsp no longer works. (No response ever given to that bug!). Now patch 3 nd I can't even compile. I'm just going backwards.

Whats really disappointing for me is that I needed patch 3 for the latest DLL support, but I need types in my functions too! And it was all working quite well in the beta last night ... I think I'll have to have both installed to do what I need to do.

It works if you do :



It would be worth sending an e-mail to Lee

Good news everybody! I really am THAT good...

I can't compile most of anything I have made previously!
I'm getting alot of parameter errors, when I use Type variables with any DBPro commands inside a function.

This is a serious problem, which I e-mailed to Lee at 4:30 this morning (yawns!).

Do we now have to wait another month, before we can recompile anything, I hope not (prays for mirical!).

A great deal of flexibilty has been lost.

Any comment DBPro team?

A patch release (3.001 or something) is justified, even if it fixes this problem only, because:

1) Functions are fundamental. Gosub or Arrays are not a solution to those who have 4000 lines of code to adjust.
2) This is an added bug that patch 3 creates (and not a bug that DBS didn't manage to fix in time for the patch).

Inspite of the annoyance, I still have faith in the DB team. It wouldn't hurt if they get some more pedant beta-testers, though.

Just tried a clean uninstall and reinstall and it still failed.
Really Necrym did you even try the code snippet
The next uninstall reinstall is going to be back to patch 2

This doesnt work either. Seems the arrays of UDT is no longer global so cant be used in a function.

This problem is now getting ridiculas is'nt it?

It's just gone 5:30am here (yawn!) and I've just sent another e-mail to Lee, with the above example I showed further explaining the problem, plus the error report found in the DBPro temp folder, but I don't know if that will help.

However, if they do fix the problem soon, I will hail them as Gods!
