Hi,
While working fine on most PCs, on one PC I am getting the message "interna list.mfx cannot be loaded...missing installed library.." or something like that. It is a stand alone app of course. Win7/XP fine, no difference. I was able to run in on 4 PC, yet this one is missing something obviously.
That was fixed in later versions of Internal List Object, try reinstalling from the extension list in my signature.
Unfortunately the last version I know about removed the ability to have multiple lists with multiple items, which is core of my funcionality (select list X, add item, select list Y, add item). But it does work on most PC so it must be something missing (C++ redistributable?) - e.g. I tried on my wife's Win 7 netbook and I did not get this message.
Blizna, are you sure that's the latest version you're talking about? That seems like a downgrade in functionality.
If all else fails, I think LB wrote the extension in Visual Studio 2010, so look for the "Microsoft C++ 2010 redistributable".
Phi, yea, he removed from some reason this ability. At first, it was like a "list of lists" but then he sent me the new version which was basically list object (with the advances of speed etc.).
Thanks, I will try this redistributable stuff get installed.
He probably finally realised that "list" in "Internal List object" isn't plural. :P
(kidding LB, don't throw Albania at me)
:) If I remember correctly, there were some issues but AFAIK there is no other way how to list of lists in MMF2..
Isn't a list of list is just a 2D array?
No, there you cannot put more than 1 item under one "key". I need an object that allows me to store unlimited number of strings under different keys with functions like "get number of items for current list" etc. It is incredibly useful.
If you deem "key" to be a certain X dimension, in which any coordinate with X is part of a certain list, you can use the Y dimension for any items in said list.
Yes, but then keys must be numbers and I think you cannot get a number of items under a key in this key.
Have you tried Associative Array?
Sure, the same issue. You cannot assign more than one item under a key - it gets replaced.
Nothing like:
"list"
a
b
c
d
INI can be used for a pusedo-array effect. Group being x, item being y.
Yeah but that is slow, of course dynamic object would the ideal solution, exactly what LB's extension was in the beginning.
If you have a bit o' cash spare I would write it for you :)
Personally, I would use multiple list objects and pick them with an alterable string to get around this problem. I can see how the multiple lists inside one object was a nice feature though.
Nifflas, unfortunately this is more complicated like runtime creation of lists and high number of them (like 100 lists whose number of items varies from 2 to 50).
Dynamic runtime creation and removal shouldn't be too hard and not the high numbers either. Well, apart from the high CPU usage of filtering out the right one if you read and write to the lists a lot during gameplay, that could be really problematic. Maybe you should pay an extension developer? Maybe ask LB for the source of the old version so the dependency problem can be fixed?
