Hey guys! I have a project i’ve picked back up which compiles absolutely fine on the PC i made it on, however I have moved everything to my Laptop with a fresh install of Inform 7 and after doing so when compiling the same project file with no changes, i get this back;
Just a guess, but… it looks like you’re compiling with 6M62 instead of 10.x, is that intentional / could that be it?
On my Inform (Windows) there’s a vertical set of tabs to the right of the source window: at the bottom end is Settings and then you can choose the Inform version from there.

That would in fact be it! Semantic versioning was only introduced in 10.0; previously extension versions (like game release versions) were only a major version and serial number (date of release).
If you don’t see the dropdown Josh mentions, then you probably have an outdated version of the IDE. Make sure you install the latest one, which will come with the 10.1 compiler.
thank you both very muchly, nice to see you still active and able to assist a whole year later!
literally just downloaded the wrong version of inform for the laptop lol x_x
