I didn't knew that. Could have saved me a ton of work.

Here is a screenshot of it.
As you can see i took inspiration from PureBasic for the coloring, etc. But this is not Scintilla, it's made from scratch with PB 2D drawing. And lots of code to handle all basic editing functions.

A text editor from scratch is actually a side project i work on currently.

It's specifically for coding and even more specifically for G-Code with Sinumerik extension. As many editors struggle with this.
First i wanted to use Scintilla but it was kind of confusing to me and i thought i could write ...

I just tried it using the /portable switch (so a vanilla setup) and it still did it.

PB 6.21 Windows x64

Not sure if it is a bug report or a feature request.
Seems like #PB_HTTP_NoSSLCheck has been forgotten to add to ReceiveHTTPFile.
It is available for HTTPRequest, so makes sense to have the same option on ReceiveHTTPFile.

A reproducable example [Win x64, PB v6+] - this one occurred when porting some C code across - it has been stripped down to bare minimum.

The code needs to be copied & pasted in its entirety into notepad & saved as a .pb file - load the file into the PB IDE and follow the steps shown on lines 17 ...

Someone posted on here saying "The creator is on these forums, ask him to update it", but then deleted their post a week or two later. I wonder if the creator saw that and were like "Nah, don't get me involved in this"... If that's the case... Come on, this is like abandoning a child :P (no I'm ...

I use Postgres every time i need a DB with PureBasic.

Greetings,

Having spent a lot of time trying to get this game to run, I'm glad to have found your thread. An unlikely place, but it apparently makes sense :D I never considered what language was the game written in.

Here's a few comments/issues:

There is no official EN Patch 1.10 as far as I ...

OnErrorGoto also does not work under c x64 backend.

But that is not the problem, the If *Buffer always fires even if the file is not found.... normally the ]Buffer should be 0


It is correct that it is not 0. The server is sending back a HTML file to display the error message on a browser. That is typical behavior of web servers as they expect a ...
