Upcoming Empty4 4 and MQL4 Upgrades

[Pedigree]

Thanks Shelley, but that is exactly what I did. It's what I was referring to when I said "Even on browsing". Notepad does not come up as one of the available programs. I am on Windows 7.

In win7 you will find notepad.exe here C:\Windows\system32
An for finding where Empty4 has moved the indicators, EA ecc try this:
In the 6xx build the place where are present the directories like config, history, logs,templates ecc. is mostly different to the main Empty4 installation folder.
The only way to find out where the correct "Data folder" location is, is to read the "Journal" log of Empty4.
The second line from start reports the used Data folder.

Cheers

Tommaso

I located Notepad where you directed and was able to open an mq4 file with it. Thanks Tommaso. And thanks Shelley.

BTW Shelley, this must be an unholy hour for you! Thanks for taking the time regardless. Have a good night.

CrappyTester build 600

Results are different on this version: the updated EA does not even get past init() before problems arise:

Code: Select all

13:00:29 2013.05.01 00:00  SB_MT4v600 GBPUSD,M1: init_BollingerTolerances(): About init min/max gaps...
13:00:29 2013.05.01 00:00  SB_MT4v600 GBPUSD,M1: ERROR: dMidBollTmp < ZERO

More investigation required...

I need to take the updated sourcecode back to build 509 and see what old CrappyTester does with the updated sourcecode.

P.s: feels like i am talking to a pirate when typing out your name

Hi Spider,

Yes I have been reading these posts, however, I have posted here instead of in the coders discussion of the of this topic. I don't know if it is possible to move these post to the proper forum, or is it simpler to cross reference them?

I might have forgotton to check scoping issues in some files, which could explain a lot. There could be a lot of temporary variables with scoping issues. I am inclined to split 'fixing' the code into stages.

If anyone has a script which can identify declarations and move them to the top of the enclosing function it would save a lot of work. There is a post which goes part of the way to a solution (how to find the variable declarations)
http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=6712
Anyway, I hope my posts here & the hacked-scite might be useful to other coders.

Or perhaps I could interest you in some pieces of eight?

Sorry, if this was already covered elsewhere: In the new Metaeditor the built in mql reference does not work. Neither marking a function name with the cursor and hitting F1 nor selecting F1 from the Help menu opens the reference.

Do I have to download a help file separately? From where?

Why is it so that in the expertfolder the "allow DLL" is greyed out,impossible to tick it...I can tick it under "Tools"??? I run the Empty4 update 610.

The latest 610 build automatically greys out if the EA does not have a dll associated. So if you see grey, means the EA is not calling a dll file. This is new..

Thank you

I understand that I can not longer see my old sets, but are they saved is some obscure folder somewhere? I must have missed archiving one set before the new build loaded...
