[SOLVED] [pokeemerald] Add move compilation error

[Jagodas]

Firstly, thank you so much to the community for all the amazing resources, I'm loving sinking my teeth into them.

Secondly, I have an issue when adding a new move. I've added three moves already with absolutely no issue, but when adding the fourth, I'm getting a bizarre compilation error that I didn't get on the first three. See the attachment for details.

I started getting this error that "gMoveNames[358]" had too many entries. But I'd updated the #define MOVES_COUNT to 359. In the attachment you can see that I've resorted to hard-coding the number to see if that resolves the issue, but it did not, nor did adding a new MOVE_COUNT_TOTAL to replace the MOVE_COUNT, to try and trick the compiler.

I'm banging my head against a wall here, thanks in advance for any advice!

I just attempted again, branching off of an earlier point from before I'd added any moves, because it's confusing that it worked for three moves previously. This time I added four test moves, and each one of them has problems (see attachment). In this branch, my gMoveNames file starts
"const u8 gMoveNames[MOVES_COUNT][MOVE_NAME_LENGTH + 1] ="

I'm thoroughly confused now!

Okay, a nice embarrassing entrance for me there.

I misunderstood the error on the multi-dimensional array (C isn't my mother tongue)... It was trying to tell me that MOVE_NAME_LENGTH didn't allow the name to be that long, and my test cases coincidentally did/didn't have this issue.

See you next time, hopefully for something less silly!
