Hi
I've started to rework my Quest Tutorial to reflect changes made for Q3.0 - but I've hit an odd obstacle.
I'm trying to use the "define type" block construct, while this works fine when the code is added to the main *.asl file, if I cut the working 'block' and try to add it as part of a library I get the dreaded 'error 5 invalid procedure call or argument'.
This is a right royal pain - because it would be REALLY nice to define lots of base objects in a series of includable libraries.
Is there an unsurmountable technical reason why the "define type" doesn't work from within a library - or is this just a bug?

I just tested having a "define type" block in a library and everything worked fine. Can you email or copy-and-paste here the ASL and library file please?

Cheers
Alex

Hi Alex
A copy of my problem code is en-route by e-mail. I suspect I have somehow got the syntax wrong if it works when you do it!

'twas a bug which I've now squished; I've sent you a replacement QUEST.EXE.
