Nah, problem with my firewall, and it's all fixed. Looks like an interesting snippet, but I think Smaug's loadup command really already covers it. *shrug*

The link works for me as of this posting (and when I posted it in the first place). It's possible that the server is a little flaky, though...

Weird, I'd tried googling it almost exactly like that before I'd posted that and the only hits I found that appeared pertinent were to this thread. :(

Oh well, in any event, thanks for the link, David, now if I can just reach that site... *sigh*

Having never heard of this one, and being somewhat curious, what is this "J.O.P.E - Jobo Online Playerfile Editor" and where might one find a copy of it? (If you don't mind my asking...)

One might also keep in mind that the instructions probably worked just fine before the days of gcc 4 when this situation would not be detected and the code would actually compile properly. Old snippets and codebases cause nightmares like this all the time when nobody sees fit to update them. :)

Sure. When you compile code, every type you use (well, really, pretty much everything you use) has to be something the compiler has seen before. If I tell you: here is an object of type "foobar", you will look at me and go "huh? what's a foobar?" The compiler works just the same way.

So, when you define a structure of type "jope_type", that definition has to come before any case where you use that structure. So, the following code is not going to work:

jope_type theStructure;
struct jope_type {
  int member1;
  int member2;
  /* ... */
};

But if you reverse the order, it will work, since the compiler knows what a "jope_type" is when you try to create the object of that type.

Let me know if this clears things up. I suspect you are using a code snippet (given the "Jobo Online Playerfile Editor" name), so one recommendation is to make sure you followed it exactly -- these things tend to be extremely finnicky and even a slight variation (that seems trivial to you) can be enough to break the code.

Thank you so much for your help David, both in this topic as well as my previous topic.

As I am still very new to coding, I was wondering if you could go in to further depth in regards to what to do.

Again I appreciate your help

You need to define what "jope_type" is before you declare an array of jope_type elements.
