I really enjoyed using DarkEDIT but one day when trying to compile, my computer gave me an "Error with Core" message. I've tried compiling several different programs but it does the same thing. Does anyone have a solution?

Open the options/settings and make sure that the db location entry is correct.

Get the new DarkBasic Professional IDE for only $19.99/~£9.85

Thanks for the advice. However, I downloaded Dark edit 1.56 and got the same error. It says "Error running Core." Everything else runs fine on my computer, including DBC and DBP.

I also double checked the options/settings to be sure the DB location was correct. It still is giving me this same error. I am using XP with SP 2, Pentium 4, with a Radeon X600 256MB video card. My computer works with everything else flawlessly.

I have re-installed Direct X and it still does the same thing. I tried typing in a short program and attempted to compile it, but it gave me a different error, stating that it could not create a temporary file.

aaaaaawwww. thats simple to fix -> you must save the file under a new name first and I bet on the top of the bar it says "untitled".
the compiler cant compile the source (when using Dark Edit) until you save the program somewhere

Thanks Bluestar4, you are correct.

My original bug still remains unfortunately.

I guess maybe I should look for another IDE for DBC.

also, I believe there is a limit on the size of the file when using dark edit as I noticed that it seems to cause db to throw an exception error on files over a size of 63.8 kb. has anyone else had this error , and while we are on this subject, are there any other editors out there for dbc ?

No exception on my system.
My current DBC .dba ia 260KB.

However I get an error whenever I perform a search.

It puts up a message box:

DarkEdit
Failed to set daata for 'SrchDialogSearText'

You could have a little play with mine. It's not finished yet, but it's usable enough to see if you still get the same errors. You can download it here:

Um, i think i got a fair idea what the problem. It something to do with your window's user account. Are you in "Limited account" as i don't think it will let you compile under that account. Try trying to compile using computer administrator account.

Hope it works,

Cheers, Anto

Bluestar4 - I was able to use DarkEDIT in the past with larger files, so I don't see that as the problem.

TDK - I downloaded your IDE (looks awesome by the way) but when attempting to run it won't do anything. I tried a couple of files that work with DBC, but no luck. The syntax checks out fine, but it will not run any programs for me. I had a little trouble getting out of the program too. (I realize it is a work in progress). If I could get it to work, I would gladly use your IDE.

Anto - I checked, and I am in the Administrator Account for Windows.

To all - thanks for your help! It is appreciated very much.

Just to confirm that:

a) the IDE is only for DBC (won't work with DBP at all)

b) you have to point it at where DB.EXE is on your hard disk from the tools panel or it won't run anything.

c) DB Classic must be installed. (This one is a bit daft I know but it has been known)...

TDK - I pointed it to the DB.EXE as you said and your IDE worked! I've loaded and run files that wouldn't work before as well as writing a short program to test it - no problem at all. I still have to control-alt-delete to get out of it, but other than that things seemed to work pretty well.

I may never figure out the weird bug with DarkEDIT, but I would like to use your IDE for my future programming. Are you actively working on it to finish it up?

Thanks again for your help!

I realize this thread is a little old, but I believe Synergy IDE handles both Dark Basic Classic and Pro.

Zombie 20,

If you are talking about Synergy IDE, click on help and then go down to Run Wizard.

I have version 1.0.2. The latest version might still have the option.

Yes Zombie 20, DarkEDIT 1.56 is very good.

I've had that search error problem on this Win98SE install for the last 3 years of the 5 that I've used this install of DarkBASIC & DarkEDIT.
That's my only problem with DarkEdit.

I've reinstalled DarkEDIT but the search problem remains, I guess the problem is elsewhere.

I'm unique, just like everybody else.
