Probably the best way to deal with things like that: never loose your cool. Well done 😊

@hans Fortunately I did, and it's been very helpful and thoughtful, like yours were, and not just "RTFM stupid!" They did, however, take something out of its original context, but I pointed it out politely in my response rather than blowing up all over the place.

You're most welcme, wish I could have been more helpful.
Fingers crossed you get a response in the Lazarus Forum 😊

That makes sense - don't add drama to things that don't involve you directly - and my point was about the Castle Game Engine thread and not the Lazarus thread - I didn't get any responses as of yet.

Either way, it's a very great idea to post on that forum as well as this one, just in case I get legitimately helpful responses there. Thank you so so much for it again!

You could also see it this way: Maybe he wants to be nice in the Lazarus Forum to keep a good reputation?

Note that I do not know the developer and that I prefer not to get involved in things like this, as you probably understand. 😊

Although the "developer chiming in" doesn't seem like a good idea - given that on the forum thread, if you read it, he was telling me to RTFM as well and locking threads for asking legitimate questions, most likely because of his ego/"I am the boss so what I say goes", so I decided that I needed the help from other people.

@hans Oh, I was agreeing with your suggestion and not contradicting it; my point was this forum right here is not about Lazarus in particular, so I would get more professional responses on that one, as you were saying just now in your most recent post. I am very sorry for the misunderstanding :)

Sorry to hear that didn't fix the issue. Oh well. Worth a try 😊

I agree that the Lazarus forum is not specialized in gaming engines, but they do have a section specifically for that and I think the original developer of the Castle Engine even posted there. So this may be a motivator for him/them to chime in. Or not. Either way: if you do no t give it a try, we will never know 😊

Okay, now it's posted with the last comma omitted, on the Lazarus Game Development board. Hopefully it doesn't get deleted or marked spam, but you never know until you try with these things.

Okay, I omitted the comma you suggested, and it still doesn't show up at all. Do you think I should just try the Lazarus forums, given this forum is not specailized to my kind of problem but is more general Pascal help?
