When trying to compile the single-player game offline, I run into this error:
"Book 10 - Let the Games Begin:
Problem. An internal error has occurred: registered meaning of two or more #s. The current sentence is 'grammatical gender understood is a grammatical gender which varies' ; the error was detected at line 424 of "inform7/Chapter 10/Excerpt Meanings.w". This should never happen, and I am now halting in abject failure.
What has happened here is that one of the checks Inform carries out internally, to see if it is working properly, has failed. There must be a bug in this copy of Inform. It may be worth checking whether you have the current, up-to-date version. If so, please report this problem via
http://www.inform7.com/bugs.
This happens after adding 31 images to the game in both the "Infection Icons," and the corresponding "Table of Infections," tables. After that point (Entry 32 Upwards), the game refuses to compile. It doesn't matter if the entry added is small or large, old versions or newer versions of monster write-up/input format. I'm adding images in sequence starting from the folder "AGentlemanCalledB" to the folder for "Kaleem mcintyre," obviously skipping images that have already been added to the native code on Github--though that said, it doesn't seemingly matter the order of the entries added, since I can put NukuValente's "Wasp Drone" as number 31 on the list and the game will still compile. It just won't, again, compile anything afterward.
(Not sure if this is the right forum to put this in, so sorry if it isn't!)
Edit: Deleting the entire section of "Artist Credits" in the "FS Graphics," file worked as a temporary stop-gap for this problem. After doing so, I found that I could both add more Images to the "Infection Icons" and "Table of Infections," sections of "FS Graphics," while at the same time also use Inform 7 to compile the game to completion and without errors. This is also true of the "Scenes" and "NPC" portions of the File.
The error (at least for me in my experimentation) seems more linked to the # of lines of code present within the "FS Graphic" file itself. (Maybe there's a hard limit that Inform 7 can handle before going nuts?) At the time of the error I reported earlier, so long as a hard-cap of 374 lines of code within "FS Graphics" existed, the game would compile. Any more than that placed in
any section of the "FS Graphics" file would then cause the aforementioned "Book 10" error, which then prevents the game from compiling to a playable state. I don't know why that is--I know very, very little of code--but that's been my experience thus far.
Will report if I find anything else o7
(Btw: by erasing the Artist Credit section, you free up 120-130 lines of code in the FS Graphics file.)
Edit the second: Using the above method let me add a max of ten images to the game before giving me the: "Book 10 - the error was detected at line 613 of "inform7/Chapter 10/Excerpt Meanings.w" error again. Sigh.
