Large Project is Full of "Broken Pipe" Errors after Update from Version 3.1 to the neweset 4.1.3

[Morphling23]

First of all, thank you for GB Studio and all your effort! Its a super cool Program!
Today, I decided to work on my large GB Studio Project again since a long time. And when i launched GB Studio, it asked me to Update.
I updated from from Version 3.1 to the neweset 4.1.3 and now, when i run the debugger, it gives me a lot of "Broken Pipe" errors for all sorts of scenes. If I delete the scenes, the errors disappear. I tired deactivating the code in the corresponding scenes, but that didnt help. Even removing it wasnt enough.

The Errors regard the Collision as it seems and also tell me my code syntax is wrong. I have no clue what the column refers to in "include/data/.h:9: syntax error: token -> '[' ; column 28" I honestly dont know what the problem really is and how I can solve it, so please apologize for posting it here.

Here is the full debugging log:

Hi @Morphling23

I think I know what this issue is and I believe it will be fixed in 4.2.0 from this change:

gb-studio/CHANGELOG.md

Line 70 in c738b28

- Fix issue where migrating old projects could cause gbvm symbols to become empty, preventing build from completing (opening a broken project will now automatically fix this issue)

If you'd like you can try the most recent dev build which can be downloaded at https://github.com/chrismaltby/gb-studio/actions/runs/13266470644 and contains this fix.

This version is subject to change though so you might want to hold off on using it for development until 4.2 is officially released.

Also make sure to back up your project before testing it in this version (I hope you also kept a backup for the 3.1 version of your project so you can keep using that for now 😬 )

Hi Chris,
much appreciated that you take the time to answer!! <3 Sorry for my late answer, I was very busy. I did test it with the dev build version and it immidiately did work.

Greetings from Germany and keep up your good work!

George
