Failed loading maps when more than 10?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Failed loading maps when more than 10?

Hi! I have run in to a very bad bug with my map loading. Basically when I save maps they save ok and load ok but when there are more than 10 maps loaded it loads all the maps above 10 but not the ones between 1 and 9.

I hope that makes sense.

Here's my map loading Type.



Can anyone spot why when I save maps and more than 10 are saved the first 10 don't load anymore?

out of curiosity what names are you using for the maps? it is posible that it is not loading them in the order you want.
<edited>
if you are using 0,1,2,3..10,11,12..20,21,22,23. save them like this 001,002,003..010,011,012,013..021,022,023.

The maps are given whatever name the user choses. I assign .FID to each of them on loading them from the directory and when the process is finished I null the list. When I go to load a map again a recreate the list and assign new FID to the loaded maps.

I'll try your suggestion though to see if it makes a difference.

I'm still not understanding why it loads maps 10 and onwards but maps 1 to 9 it doesn't.

:/

[edit] It loads the first map and map number 10 and onwards. The maps are being saved properly because when I remove some maps from the directory and try loading them it loads them perfectly.

There's a rogue variable somewhere causing this, I can feel it. :)

Please if there are any expert bug spotters (Code Bug Spotters that is) can you have alook at the code I posted and see if anything is wrong.

Please!

:)

if you post a link to the executable I think I can fix it for you. I don't need the source just everything else.
or if you prefer email it to me.
The reason I am helping you is because I am interested in building my own platform game. and your ideas will help me tackle some problems I may have in the future. but if you would rather have somebody else help you I won't get offended.

Hey Jesse. I'm going to be sending you the source and the media. Plus in the rar archive I'm sending is the redi.mod which I use to handle the audio for music. You need to put redi.mod in your BlitzMax mod directory.

Thanks for helping out. Gonna email the stuff to you now. :)
