And windows.h is definitely in Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include ? Cause it's the only include folder you've got and it does sound like one hell of an odd choice.

That's one way to fix it, a better way is just to declare i at the start of the function.  This is just one of those many stupid MSVC things which violates coding specs and that MS coders have gotten used to doing.

Of all the things that piss me off about programming for VC that one is probably the most annoying because it goes against the biggest rules of variable scoping (i.e that a variable should be declared immediately before it is used if possible and that a variable should have the minimum scope possible).

 Must be even worse for people who don't actually use VC and still have to do it to let the code compile for the rest of us though

yes. altough there was a weird problem while trying to find the file, the search didnt find it until i told it to look for hidden files and all, but both files arent hidden... odd stuff...

I think you are also using VC++ express 2005
Have you added platform SDK path to 'references' in project properties?

right-click on project name(e.g:'code') -> properties -> common properties -> references -> Add Path

I added the platform SDK include/lib paths to both 'project properties' and 'tools->option->project and solution -> VC++ Directories',now it doesnt give 'windows.h/winsock.h missing errors' anymore.
I am new to this VC++ express 2005 thing too,so I might be wrong.

Add the following files to the project:

code/cutscene/decoder16.cpp
code/cutscene/mve_audio.cpp
code/cutscene/mvelib.cpp
code/cutscene/mvelib.h
code/cutscene/mveplayer.cpp

And also note that audio for MVEs will only work if the build is for OpenAL (set USE_OPENAL as a preproc define).  Also add ..\..\openal\include to your list of includes for the project, ..\..\openal\libs\win32 and ..\..\openal\libs\win64 to the lib directories, and openal32.lib to the libs to use.

[DefeatedRemus]

thnx,compiling with OpenAl include path/lib path/missing project files added and defined USE_OPENAL in mve_audio.cpp.

Did it give a line number or filename or anything?  Try running with OpenGL and see if it still happens.

tried it and nope. when it gets to compiling the code its still saying the file aint there. but i managed to atleast compile libjpg

can anyone else help?

[DefeatedRemus]

In D3D mode it just points to the file Program Files/Visual Studio 8/vc/include/vector(without any extension),which gives the 'assertion failed:vector out of range' error.

In OpenGl mode it complaints about the outdated version of OpenGl(Current GL Version of 1.1 is less than the required version of 1.2.Switch video modes or update your drivers.)tried to update to the latest driver but the problem is still there.

What video card and driver version are you using now?

'ancient' Nvidia Geforce4 MX 440 and 84.21(latest official version),tried on 2 pc(1 'ancient'(celeron 1.3) and another one is newer(sempron 64 3000+)),the video cards on both pc are very old(MX ish) because I dont play 'modern so-called state-of-art graphics' game

Hmm, what version of Windows are you running?

That card should be fine with OpenGL, the version should be at least 1.5 with those drivers I believe.  The only thing I can think is that it's using software rendering for some reason.  I'll make a change to the OpenGL init code later tonight and maybe that will fix the problem for you (had an issue with that code before, even though it's set according to spec from MS).

Thanks.

Im running Windows 2000 sp4.

It looks like "ver = (char *)glGetString(GL_VERSION);" gets the wrong string(its always return "1.1" with any version of driver it seems),the 2nd int decimal number 'minor' converted by "sscanf() with 'dot' as delimiter" is less than the defined REQUIRE_GL_MINOR_VERSION(2),hence the error.

I will try to comment out the check lines for now,but I doubt it will still 'trigger' the 'vector subscript out of range' error even if I could 'bypass' this check in OpenGL mode.

[karajorma]

It's still doing that? I thought that was fixed donkey's years ago?

It's not the y2k-type thing, if that's what you were thinking.


@DefeatedRemus:  Update to current CVS and try again.  May be fixed now.

Thx,I just ran the compiled executable in openGL with 'opengl version check' commented,same 'vector subscript out of range' error except I can press the 'Retry' button to debug this time,the breakpoint points to line 3700 "gr_font_init(); // loads up all fonts" in freespace2.cpp.I dont know what that means though,since I am newbie at C++/debugging.

Huh.  I would assume that it's the scripting system for some reason (Lua, specifically).  Probably something for WMCoolmon to answer since I don't think anyone else has had this problem and he knows that code the best.

ok just for your info:it gives another error related to vector if you ignore the 'vector subscript out of range one':

expression:("Standard C++ Libraries out of range",0)
