ERROR: Missing global variable? [solved!]

I tried tweaking it some more, after I found the positech website. But I am still getting the (same) error message:

WOOT! +10 on confidence and happiness!

I solved my problem. I figure I’ll leave this here for other people who might have the same issue.

Once I set that, the game loaded, sans probleme
