Hmm,
guess I'll have to run it under QB4.5 until I understand all the ins and outs of Nexus 13 and then look around for a replacement library so I can move my code to QB7.1...

Thanks anyway.

Thanks all. I have tried all the advice given, have got a new copy of the PDS, have set up a help directory with QH.exe in it and the help files. :D All to no avail. :x The PDS setup fails under Win2000 when it tries to create the link libraries. As per the other correspondent, QH generates an 'inva...

QB 4.5 to QBX 7.1 and external libraries

All,

I have a QB4.54 version of the Nexus_13 external library. If I try to use it in QBX 7.1 it returns a format error. Is there anyway I can convert the library :?:

Thanks again Nekrophidius - I should have thought to look myself. I have now, and sadly the links to the old eclipzer site have disappeared into the aether. Googling for other references reveals that elcipzer has faded from the scene. I've not been able to find the library in any of the QB sites I'v...

Challenge is right Nathan1993! We'll see how far I get... Thanks for the pointer Nekrophidius - I'll check it out. ------edit---------------- Went there, downloaded it. It needs an include file NEXUS_13.BI. Is that one of JawsV's own, or is it something that other people recognise as part of an exte...

Hex based map movement

Hi all :) from an old coder who is new to the forum. I am working on a conversion of a 1980's solo board game - 'Barbarian Prince' from Metagaming Corp. This is a prime candidate for a mixed graphic/text adventure being the exploits of a young prince whose parents have been killed and whose throne ...
