Hey guys, just a small one here. When compiling you have your black box with all the compiling happening in it, well sometimes you have a scrollbar onthe side and sometimes you dont. How do I get it to I can scroll every time? Revealing true dumness here.

Iether that or copy the thing to txt.

btw I use mbuilder.

after each line you ahve to add something like

> filename

like if you typed > c:/bob/mycompilelog.txt it would save the log as that file in that directory.

Well I dont know where to begin. Its not about compiling really I just want the scroll bar.

I have never seen a scroll bar in my Dos windows. What the "alcohalic" 13 year old was trying to say is you can make a log for each step of the compiling process. So, search for "compile log" or just "log".

Thanks guys now I can record my compile, but seriously I'm not dreaming, plenty of times my dos window has had a scroll bar, and as you can Imagine its very convenient. If I get it again I will try to figure out what was different.

You'll get the scrollbar if you put 'pause' after each compiling bit (bsp, vis, light) if not try to right click on the topbar when paused. you can also rightclick in the dos window when paused and do Selecta All > copy... then paste text in notepad... but the best is to let MBuilder create a log instead.

Assuming u use XP, you can open the properties of the DOS window (click on the icon in the titelbar) and in layout, you can enter the wide and height of the window itself and its puffersize. The puffersize is what u might need to change: with a size bigger than the window size, you ought to get your scrollbar back.
