advsys errors and what they mean
by jon drukman ([email protected])
--------------------------------

Already defined
       you attempted to redefine a function or constant.

Ambiguous word type
       you already used the word in a different sense (eg: attempting
       to define an action that uses the same word as a previously
       defined noun.)

Expecting expression
       syntax error - probably missing a close parenthesis somewhere!

Expecting identifier, number or string
       you used an incorrect data type in an expression.

Expecting verb
       (verb ...) is required after (action ...)

Expecting: REQUIRED, FORBIDDEN or OPTIONAL
       in defining an action's syntax, you need to specify one of
       those three keywords (or leave it blank, in which case
       OPTIONAL is assumed.)

Insufficient code space
       no more room for code (duh).  i found that you can increase
       the code space in advcom.h and then recompile advcom.  advint
       will still be able to interpret the game.

No adventure identification information
       the game must start with an (adventure name version)
       statement.  see the manual.

Not a property
Not a variable
Not an action
Not an object
       you attempted to use something in a context that is
       inappropriate.  usually means you need to define the object
       with the correct (property ...) (variable ...) (action ...) or
       (object ...) statement.

Too many actions
Too many objects
Too many words
       compiler ran out of space.  i found that you can increase the
       constants in advcom.h as much as you like (until your machine
       runs out of memory).  it won't affect advint's ability to run
       your game.

Unknown action definition statement type
       in defining an action syntax, you used a word the compiler
       didn't recognize.  valid words are: actor, verb, direct-object,
       preposition, indirect-object, code.

Unknown default definition statement type
       in specifying the default syntax, you used a word the compiler
       didn't recognize.  valid words are: actor, direct-object,
       indirect-object.

Unknown object definition statement type
       in defining an object, you used a word the compiler didn't
       recognize.  valid words are: noun, adjective, property,
       class-property, method.

Unknown statement type
       the compiler doesn't recognize the command.  probably due to a
       syntax error, like typing (objec foo).
