So with Axe 5.0 I am getting some random Err:Symbol errors when a program is archived, as well as sometimes reporting a picture is missing, even if it is not.

Axe 0.4.8 did this as well, and now 0.5.0: A sub-program (called by prgmWHATEVER in the source) occasionally gets a part of it wiped out, like in the middle of a pt-on or something.
Tio 5 does/causes this continually D:

I compiled an Axe program so it would output an Application, but I didn't had enough archive. Naturally, it error'd. Then I found out with Calcsys it created an unnamed, 0xC6050500 byte (3 GB?) application in the archive. Now the Arc Free counter in 2nd+MEM is stuck to 0 bytes left. And I can't see it there and delete it, due of its lack of a name.

Is it a bug? If not, feel free to move this post somewhere else. Anyway, it's freaking weird.
Yeah, this is a serious bug. Having insufficient space should not destroy your calculator's memory. Axe should check the amount of space required to write the app, and then refuse to write it if space was insufficent.
In the meantime, to get your memory back, try a Garbage Collect. If that doesn't work, do a Mem Clear.

Garbage Collect didn't worked. But I reseted the apps mem and it worked.

And of course I did a backup of all my files. Now I have to reupload all my files.

Yeah I agree with Compynerd. Sometimes we don,t expect to run out of memory too.

Also what's with the 3 GB app thing juju? O.O (on IRC)

Well, the generated, screwed up app reported to be 0xC6050500 byte (3 GB) on Calcsys.

The filesize is actually part of the file format, so if you change 4 bytes, you could change the filesize. It just happened to have C6050500 in the filesize field.

You can do stuff like that. Just change the size bytes of any var to anything you want, and the OS will think it's that big.

I found a bug:
If you use Bitmap(, it doesnt show up good in an application. It shows up a randomly-filled square with the size of the picture.
Is this a known bug?
Else, this is version 0.4.8

Hmm Bitmap is one of TI's Bcalls, if I remember. I don't know if it could be used inside apps.

Yeah, I reported this a long while ago as well.

In order to use it in an App, you have to copy the bitmap to somewhere in RAM be it an appvar or freeram, then use Bitmap() with a pointer to the bitmap.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.
