| Hi,
I wonder if anybody can help me with Blitz basic 2? I have recently brought my Amiga 1200 out of retirement and I got myself a replacement hd in the form of a 4gb flashdrive.
I thought I get back into doing some Blitz basic 2 coding. I had already started a project to attempt a Nemesis clone many moons ago. So thought I would dig out my old code and see if I could get it running again....
But my original copy of blitz basic 2 has a read write error, so I had to fine another copy somewhere. Thankfully I found one on an Amiga format cover disk and installed that. Unfortunately when I tried to load my Nemesis clone I get a library not found $005E error....
I also subsequently found that if I just load up the blitz editor and select reload all libraries I also get a library not found $FFFA error....
So something is definitely missing.
I have set up two assignments as suggested by the hd install :-
Assign Blitz2 dh1:blitz Assign Blitzlibs dh1:blitz/blitzlibs
Any idea? I don't know how to check what libraries are missing cany anyone help please?
Cheers |

| @Ozone Maybe you could install this full version of Blitz Basic : http://ubb.plus/

That error sounds like you are missing a 3rd party add on to the deflibs file which you had installed on your original machine.
Unfortunately, unless you know which ones you had installed, re-installing them and getting the deflibs updated with them could be a bit of a pain.
Are you able to copy the deflibs/blitzlibs from your original machine at all, or does the whole folder have read errors?
It has been a long time since I used BB2 myself. _________________ Test sig (new) |

I dont have access to the Internet on my amiga or a pc to copy this over so am a bit stuck.
Thanks for the link though. May need to go back to this option if everything else fails.

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to copy everything from the original floppy copy of Blitz2 except the main Blitz2 executable.
I have managed to find out the comnand that is missing and it is:-
InitCopList So it comes up in the editor as :-
????? 0,46,251,$1413,8,8,0. I also get a syntax error when I try to complie on Sprite 0 ??
Hope that helps at all? Maybe the version I got from the Amiga format disk was older than my original?

I suspect this might be relevant, though I'd have thought the late-period (1996-97?) Amiga Format version would have been up to date with AGA support. [EDIT: Though maybe you had a still-later version.]
According to the old Blitz User Magazine, the Display library was added to provide AGA support: "The new display library is an alternative to the slice library. Instead of extending the slice library for AGA support a completely new display library has been developed." The first command listed is InitCopList.
Was there not a sort of Compiler Options setting where you had to manually select some libs? Failing that, the UBB setup above looks decent and seems to include a nice PDF version of the manual, handy in itself! (Also the aforementioned BUMs, funnily enough.)
All I can really offer, sadly, as I have no live Amiga/Blitz setup!
