Journal error

[Quitch]

WeiDU doesn't seem to spot and flag missing JOURNAL strings.                    

[weimer]

Cannot reproduce without a testcase. Here's a D file:

Code: [Select]

BEGIN FOO

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN s0
  SAY ~Hello~
  IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Goodbye~ JOURNAL EXIT
END
And WeiDU says:

Code: [Select]

Sorry, I mean:

JOURNAL @65

where @65 does not exist.                    

[weimer]

test.d:

Code: [Select]

BEGIN FOO

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN s0
  SAY ~Hello~
  IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Goodbye~ JOURNAL @65 EXIT
END
output:

Code: [Select]

Looks like it is noticing the @65 to me. Please post a test case that fails. :-)

I believe that you are encountering the problem, but unless I can reproduce it locally I cannot fix it.

I believe using the action (AddJournalEntry(), I believe) is going to be superior than the JOURNAL dialogue action call, because by using AddJournalEntry, you'll be able to use TP2 REPLACE and, thus, be able to erase it later.
