Changes to main.sc source code don't change in-game

[sjim114]

When I make changes to the source code files, save them, and compile the main.sc file the changes I've made don't show up in the game. Any help would be appreciated.

Does the main.scm actually land in the game's data folder? Or, do you use the compile&copy function as I suggested?

[sjim114]

It doesn't go to the data folder so I just copy and paste it from the src folder to data and it works.

Well, then you don't use the button labled compile&copy  

[sjim114]

I've only used the plain old compile button.

And what does the included readme say you need to do? 

[sjim114]

I've also tried compile and copy like twice but it does what compile does.

[Mini-Me]

It does what its name says: it compiles and copies into the data folder of the game you defined in the settings. 

[sjim114]

I must have some of my setting wrong, because it only compiles and never copies to the data folder.

In the general settings, make sure the GTA VC folder points to the folder where you have the mod installed, for me that is C:\Program files (x86)\Back to the Future Hill Valley 0.2f:

Though I think this shouldn't affect the copy function, under formats, make sure the target path and name fit. The default setting is $dir\$name.scm:

Then if you do a change, hit Compile&Copy it should be right in the game:

Yup, that worked. It was like that before. I just set my game location again and it worked for some reason. Thanks, Mini!

You're welcome
