Help - Compiling .bb files to replace item names/death messages

So I'm mostly just experimenting with renaming items and updating death messages.

I've already changed what I wanted to but my Blitz3D doesn't have Program > Debug Compile like mentioned in MrPeanut's guide so I'm
not sure what to do next.

How do I recompile the source code?

What program are you using specifically? Does it have a "Program > Create Executable" option?

Oh hey, it's you again.
iirc MrPeanut's guide mentioned that Blitz3D's default IDE is trash, so he'd be using IDEal. Nowadays I just use the default IDE (mostly because my modified copy of the engine completely breaks IDEal so I don't have a choice), so to run in Debug Mode just make sure "Program > Debug Enabled?" is checked before pressing F5.

You're also going to need this to compile the latest source code, because of the new error fetching and bump mapping functions.

Thanks but the run program command gives me the error message "Function 'loadanimmesh_strict' not found". When I press F5 in Items.bb. Not sure about the other source code files.

You only need to compile Main.bb, as it includes the other files.

Oh okay, thank you!
