Creating Context File

EMperson

The process for creating context files is unclear to me. I've read the sklanguser.pdf summary, but I'm confused on a few things:

1) How to set up the Directory Structure. If I want to create the context file "HelloWorld.cxt", where should the file "HelloWorld.il" go?

2) I keep getting the error "can't access startup.il". Where should that file be stored? What should the contents of startup.il be?

I just need a super concise, easy tutorial of how to create a context file. Thanks!!

    Do you have to create your own .ilinit file? Where should the allegro.init file be? I read a different post that says to check where the ALLEGRO_ SITE variable but I don't know where that is...

    Would you mind posting how to find the allegro.iliinit file, as well as example code of registering commands in the allegro.ilinit file? Thanks Slight smile

    The allegro.ilinit file resides in your Skill path.

    Type "set" on the Allegro command line to get the settings of all your variables. Find allegro_site. The skill folder is a subdirectory of that folder.

    Here's an example:

    loadContext("AutosilkUtils_public.cxt")
    axlCmdRegister("silkutils_public" 'ASU_start ?cmdType "interactive")
