uglGame [Out of Memory]

[seph]

Okay, here's the thing. I'm adding an About page that basically gives the credits for the game (hiya Blitz, Ninkazu, Agamemnus ) and when I run it in QB 4.5, it runs just fine. The problem however, is that when I compile the program using Blitz's mk4qb.bat file, it gives me an error saying Out of Memory. The weird part is that if I delete the SUB and the declaration of the sub, it compiles just fine. Zack and Wurka are saying to try using QB 7.1 (which I'm downloading) and Ninkazu only lightly agrees, or doesn't care. Either way, it's hard to tell what "meh" means out of context, even though I use it that way all the time as well. Any suggestins?

[Agamemnus]

and link it to qb's compiler.

[Blitz]

I compiled it myself and it was fine. but msg me and i'll try to help you.

[Agamemnus]

i think that seph's computer is just weird.

[seph]

Blitz, you've been offline for almost a day now. I think you blocked me. Or are you just offline?

Anyways the program compiles fine until I add in one extra SUB with like 5 lines of code. It's not the code, because if I take all the code out and compile it with the empty SUB itself, it still gives me an error. The error is that it's out of memory for the program itself. When I compile it and it gives me an error, it says the total memory available is like 42000 bytes something, and that I have 1 byte left in my program.

So I need to know how to use modules or some other way to get rid of the memory problem.

That's my entire QB 4.5 directory with all the files in it. Download it and try to compile the program using makeuglg.bat. Tell me if it works.

you need to use LINK "manually" from the command-line and use the /SE:800 option with it. It looks like you're trying to make the executable from within the IDE.

[seph]

Nope. If you'll notice, both outputs have "makeuglg" in them. Here is makeuglg.bat:

Code:

@echo off
bin\bc /o /fpi /r uglgame.bas uglgame.obj;
bin\link /segments:800 uglgame.obj, uglgame.exe, nul, lib\bcom45.lib + ugl\lib\ugl.lib
del uglgame.obj
