An error help file

[SFG Leader]

Wouldn't it be great if someone made an error help file just like the help file for AGS so that people could search for their error and find an answer for what they did wrong or how they can fix it instead of going on to the forums to ask the question.

Instead of asking in the forum, you can search in the forum too, in case it's answered already.

But I agree that a compilation of error messages and their possible causes may help, someone did make a Wiki entry about that but that's nowhere complete (well, unless there's only one kind of error in AGS!). Maybe, if there're someone bold enough can continue to expand it.

Yes. And I nominate Gilb0t, because he probably understands every error message fully. And can probably predict future error messages too.

If this included and explained the "unexpected eof" error that I quite regularly cause it would be very useful. I don't know what "eof" means, but I think I cause it by missing a bracket. Maybe it's "end of function", but I've never managed to find it in the help file.

EOF usually means "end of file", at least in other programming languages. However, I don't know if it is also correct for AGS. Probably the end of file is reached before the closing bracket was found.
