Tabs: general sharing and customise. I have been going through those for a while and cannot find anything that would matter. . .probably is hiding the usefull tabs :evil: .

The only thing that might matter, which refuses to change itself is the read only thing. It is not checked but has a green square. It has 3 settings it seems . . . not checked (always ignores when I set this and resets its self) green box (why is there a green box?) which it always reversts to, and a check (which I would asume would be the only nessiceary icon for the box :roll: ) which also reverts back to the box if its checked. And yes I am using the apply button etc. etc.

This seams to be true of the entire computer. . .(thank you windows for ignoring the commands of the person incharge of you :x )

newbie friendly = crap. Like buying a car with the hood welded shut.

So, there you have it on the folder. Thanks for helping.

does other scripts compile for you? if not, it is obviously not a problem with the script. have you tried copying your script else where and compile?

EDIT: i cannot read.

do you want to post the script and have one of us compile it for you?
though obviously that would not solve the big problem :P

tried both, both failed.

there for, let me reiterate for the third time,

I think its what rattle said and for some reason I don't have permission to compile. . .as I tried another script and it would not compile either (that one was already finished, and compiled) and got the same error.

It being most likly that I am lacking the nessiceary permissions, does any one know which one I would be missing and were I can locate it?
note that that other scripte was for a unit that I made in a previous version with a VERY simply script that has already been tested and shown to work fine with the current version of spring.

edit: No, I want to get my computer working, it would be irritating to have to ask some one to compile every buggered time I changed something. :P

Properties -> Security settings -> select a usergroup that includes yourself, check "full access".

If you are referring to folder options, security is not one I have :?

Your script was compiled by my Scriptor without any trouble.
D/L again Scriptor with fixes, that means a version that substitutes the "head" files by the Cavedog original ones found also in an olde Scriptor version, the 0.65.
The download URL is below, but you must to read the Storm comments, that can be very useful to you.

I already have the latest version (I dled it agian from your link but no change). I think this is a simple problem, and the solution is strait forward, if no one knows how to produce it. (meaning, no one has given me the directions to tell my computer to stop @$!$@#! around.)

- Try different directories and partitions.
- Create a link to scriptor and enable 95/98 emulation mode on the attribute's page (use google if you don't know what it is). It sometimes fixes abnormal behaviour (Revenant is the best example).

Tried differnt directories already, I only have one partition on my computer, and I just tried the compatibility mode which, failed to work T_T. Or do you mean I should install Emacs and use that? Sigh, I just want to compile my unit and test it and move on to the next portion of the mod. . .

The last option is to get someone else to compile for you. Or use a different computer (when available).

well the unit works except its firing script needs to be fixed, and for some reason it lands (when I gave it dontland=1l; :S). I am going to see if I can figure out this problem with my own devices(the compiling one). Thanks every one who tried to help.

p.s. any idea why my unit is landing?

I dont know exactly what kind of unit is it, but.... put category= HOVER; and canhover=1;
It never will land.

Hoverfactor must be non-negative to prevent landing.
