Does anyone know how to compile the 3D Editor source code on Windows? I have the Dev C++ compiler and I can't compile because I keep getting errors, only about 11 of them. (Which is a lot lot less than trying to compile the official BoA Editor.) I am starting to port the Exile classic "Shadow of the Stranger", and I need to handle the dead zone of terrain types 122:169, the zone where the editor assigns the terrain translations. (Here I can't just hex - edit the editor's translation tables.) Posts: 292 | Registered: Monday, November 13 2006 08:00 |

I was using Dev C++ to recompile the code a while back and had no major difficulty. What were the error messages you saw? -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! "On guard, you musty sofa!" Posts: 627 | Registered: Monday, March 7 2005 08:00 |

I am using ver 4 Bloodshed Dev C++ on Windows XP. Actually there were 31 errors, the ones listed below were reported in the message window. For brevity's sake I omitted most of the "warning: `#pragma once' is obsolete" messages. I just add the cpp and h files then try to compile.

Ok, some of these aren't bad, you'll just have to go through and fix them. Not having the code in front of me I can't handle them all, but I think I can point out what to do about a few: - '#pragma once' is a nonstandard compiler directive to insure that a file is included only once to in other files that might otherwise include it via two different paths. The correct replacement is an include guard . - 'isdigit' and 'isalpha' should come from ctype.h, make sure that it is included in the files where the errors referring to these functions occur. - concerning 'implicit conversion from `void *' ' I would try making sure to use an explict cast so that the type of the parameter matches the type expected by the function. - Most of the rest stem from the compiler being confused by that INT_PTR CALLBACK thing. To be honest i don't know what that is; it looks like something that comes from windows.h, so you might take a look at this , it appears to explain some of this stuff. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners!

Kelandon’s site has the Comprehensive BoA Links page, towards the end of it you will find the BoA Editor Re-Make Project entry, with a link to the relevant area on the Sourceforge site. The source code is found at this address: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129871 I am of course attempting to use the Windows code, I think there was only one version of it ever released. Now the Editor was developed by a group under Kernel Knowledge, he said he uses KDevelop, which I think is a Linux program. There may be a few language – dependent things in the code. I will now have to try out the suggestions you made, so far not a lot of luck. Posts: 292 | Registered: Monday, November 13 2006 08:00 |
