Code:
BYOND(344.887) Error: the file C:\Documents and Settings\Luna\Desktop\Coding 101\Coding 101.rsc is locked up!
verbs.dm:35:error:'Coding 101.dmb':cannot find file


Problem description:

It does this all the time on this game and some of the time on other games. What causes a resource file to lock up? Is this something that the BYOND team could fix?
is a instance of your game running while you try to compile that?

Yes. It doesn't do it all of the time when I host and compile. Just sometimes. But for some reason it's doing it a lot on this game.

You have to close your running game before compiling it. If any icons, sounds, or any other resources are added, it can't be compiled properly.

Only I didn't add anything but a variable...
I dont think you can compile if the game your trying to compile is open.

That happend to me about 10 times already. What I did it copy all the files except the rsc file and move it to a new folder and complied it in the new folder and it worked for me

Ugh.. is 'locked up' so hard to understand? :-|. It obviously means that the rsc files is already being used so can't be used double.

See it from this side: You're at school, and writing on a paper. But your friend (who is sitting next to you). wants to write on the same paper. So he attempts to write, but he just can't simply because you're using the paper already.

In this case the one that was writing was Dream Seeker, and the other one who wants to write on the same file is Dream Maker. They just can't write on the same file at one time. So that's what DM means with "Locked up".

You didn't need to replace the whole envoirment to another folder, the only thing you needed to was to shut down Dream Seeker...
