Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.

[Paedric]

Hello.

I have a script that gives this error.

[color=#616375][font=Helvetica, Verdana][size=3][background=rgb(250, 247, 244)]Line 6918 (File"C:\program files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\rome total war gold\launcher\Rome Total Ralism VII.exe"):[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#616375][font=Helvetica, Verdana][size=3][background=rgb(250, 247, 244)]Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

The problem is that only a few people have this error. (I don't, so I can't reproduce it)

Also, it's with the compiled exe, so I believe the line number gives refers to that, and not the source code. (My script only has around 700 lines.)

Is there something I can do to debug it?

The error deals with array, so I have checked them, but could see nothing wrong. What should I look for in particular for this kind of error?

Thanks.

You have an array in your script (e.g. $Array[10] with 10 elements). As the numbering starts with 0 you have to access them from $Array[0] to $Array[9]. If you try $Array[10] you will see the mentioned error.

It gives the correct line, however when you compile your script you merge all files into one, with includes being at the top, and yours at the bottom. You can calculate the line by adding includes etc. If you used obfuscator, you also wanna factor in that it could replace constants.

Not 100% true. Comments will be removed even when obfuscator is not used.

I had checked for that.

However, I have something like that.

Global $EntriesLine[999]
_FileReadToArray("..FOE.svnentries", $EntriesLine)
$CurrentRevision = $EntriesLine[4]

Could it give that kind of error if there more than 999 lines?

It shouldn't be more than ~400 lines long, but I guess writing something like that would be safer.

Global $EntriesLine
_FileReadToArray("..FOE.svnentries", $EntriesLine)
$CurrentRevision = $EntriesLine[4]

@Shaggi, thanks, I'll count.

_FileReadToArray sizes the array to its needs. But how do you access the elements of the array? Can you post this code snippet?

[Paedric]

Only with the third line, that's it.

$CurrentRevision = $EntriesLine[4]

Could it be that there isn't enough lines though? If the file is empty, would it do that kind of error.

The only other thing that use an array is this.

Paedric,

This looks to me very much like a script to launch the Rome Total War game on Steam. Have you read the Forum Rules?

[Paedric]

Indeed, this is a mod launcher for Rome Total War.

The mod in question is RTRVII (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=26), though I have created one for Roma Surrectum II(http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=251) which is quite similar.

If I read the rules correctly, what is banned is bot and other illegals thing.

The launcher simply start the game with the correct arguments, so users don't have to create a new shortcut each time.

Mods in RTW can be launched by adding -mod:my_mod_folder in the target of the shortcut, the script does that automatically, in this case for Steam.

I wasn't aware that it was something that was banned on those forums, but if it is an issue, you can close/delete this thread.

If you want to check it, I can also give you the whole source file.

Sorry for the troubles.

Peadric,

If I read the rules correctly, what is banned is bot and other illegals thing

It seems you did not read them very well:

"Any discussion of using AutoIt to launch or interact with a game or game server violates our rules

So I am afraid that your script does fall into the prohibited category and this thread will now be locked.
