Cobalt beat me to it.

@Fell, I always make it a rule to place data statements with labels at the end of main, before the first sub/function. I think that's a good programming practice. Nice to see that's already in the WIKI. Now I'm wondering if it was made that way by Rob to be QBasic compatible? I don't have access to my old computer with QB on it now, so I can't check. It seems if it was not to maintain compatibility, it might be a good idea to disallow non-label data placed after sub/functions, too.

@xra7en No worries, it happens to all of us from time to time... To many trees to see the forest.

you have a sub in your first include file, right there is your error,
if you have a include file that is a sub place it at the bottom of the program.

'$include: 'lordwrite.bas'   <----- guy right here is a SUB!!!
'$include: 'moblist.bi'
'$include: 'equipment.bi'

just as Fellippe has been saying.

Kinda neat that you want to  remake LORD though, i've thought about it a few times.. I love remaking or cloning old games.
can't wait to see how this turns out.

THHAAAAAAAAAAT was it. "gawd" /facepalm

maybe i should turn my flowchart rightside up :P

Thanks = works!, now I am back to my original bug hahaha - but thats normal. programming is not fun w/o bugs
I just like re-writing old DOS book games into modern QB64 code - weird hobby, I know!
