Ah thanks, even though xmouse still gives me an SDL.h not found it compiles

Thanks for your help.

I can't download the core sdk because it says i need msxml3.0, but i have both 3.0 and 4.0.
Can someone help?

[Edit] Now I know why. I have to download the full sdk, but it is not on the MS-servers (404) .
Someone know where i can download them (not from MS)?

[Goober5000]

I don't think so.  You need to run some sort of online install program, similar to Windows Update, that only runs from the website.

Are you using Internet Explorer?

Error: “An earlier version of msxml3.dll has been detected on your system....” SDK Update requires Msxml3.dll SP2 or greater on your system. Unfortunately, Msxml3.dll SP2 is no longer available for download and SDK Update does not work with Msxml3 SP4, which is the version currently available for download. Until this issue is resolved, the work around is to use the full download option for SDK Update:

That is my problem, but the full download is not available.
And yes i use the latest IE6.

[Edit] Now i see the problem (stupid Microsoft) with the full download,
there were an "NA" in the links which should be "3790.0".

Even better; MS has a beta of Visual C++ online. It's a compiler and a coding environment in one...  Not bad, it is.

[Overlord]

I have got it (VC++ 2005 Express Edition Beta) since it came out, but it doesn't work for me. I get 4 or 5 errors.

VS .Net is allows us to develop in both native and .Net bytecode. That's due to the fact that through C++, we can write unmanaged code and managed code (C++ extensions).

BTW, I'll introduce myself.

I'm (obviously) Chronus , I'm a software developer who doesn't (at the moment) have much free time to spend but will (soon) have a little bit of it.

I've been working with .Net, mostly VB . Net, C#, C++ and, outside of the MS pantheon, I have done a few apps with Java 2.

I've played Freespace 2, twice, enjoyed it, and would like to know some links (for the SC, tools, patches already done, etc).

Hi,

look in the WiKi (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/fsdoc/),
the SCP Source is here: http://www.3dactionplanet.com/hlp/hosted/scp/dev/gettingstarted.shtml

[Goober5000]

Hey, welcome Chronus.

You can also check out http://fs2source.warpcore.org for a summary and link dump.  When you get some free time, we'd love to have you on board.

Thanks, Overlord!

Will look into it ASAP.

Goober5000 , thanks for the welcoming!

I'll take a look at the link you provided above. Guaranteed, as soon as I have some spare time, I'll drop a post  here or PM you guys..

Thanks once again!

[Inquisitor]

Anyone have the cpp files that WM created? Or did those get committed to CVS?

[Goober5000]

They're in CVS, I think.

[Inquisitor]

Ok, I'll check. Duckman had a copy just in case, i will assume they are ifdef'd in the code for now, and if not, I can try to do that later

[Fry_Day]

D'oh, someone posted about 2005 express before me. Oh well, I guess my first point of order will be getting the scp to work with 2005, once the blasted platform SDK finishes downloading (hence, at least tomorrow), and I config my system properly.

Should update the links to the code, since you've moved hosts.

[taylor]

With the Linux merge complete the code in CVS is Visual C++ 2005 Express friendly now.  I'll commit the finished project files to CVS tonight.  They are going to be under a new directory though: projects/MSVC2005.  The project files were modified to work from there so don't move them unless you want to do a lot of editing.

Besides the project files you will need the OGG Vorbis SDK (don't have to URL handy) and the libjpeg SDK which you can get here: http://icculus.org/~taylor/misc/libjpeg-sdk.zip

[LordAnubis]

*Bump*

It would appear that the first link, the one to http://fs2source.warpcore.org/temp/code  is now out of date and broken.  Any chance of an update on where the files that were there moved to?

[WMCoolmon]

It's no longer needed.

I compiled 3.6.7 using the VC++ 2005 Toolkit compiler straight from CVS (Well, I had to move one 'i' variable) so you shouldn't need special files anymore.

[LordAnubis]

Gotcha, thanks
