Trying it now, brb...

EDIT: well now FS2 and FRED2 compiles fine (yay), but compiling FRED2 debug throws up some random error

Run the compile again. I get that one all the time for some strange reason but running it a second time works just fine.

Yeah, I've got no explanation for that either.

LOL, coincidences... I did it just before you posted; force-rebooted the comp after some windows update got stuck halfway.

Opened it "the long way" (instead of "Recent Files"), manually compiled the FRED2 debug build by itself (no batch building)... compile...

1 file(s) copied.
0 errors, xx warnings
*blah blah blah could not find FS2PATH*

Earlier when I got the error it was actually my 2nd or 3rd compile.. and it just kept coming up. Don't know how it solved itself. also this isn't chief's new project - rather my own with the SAPI files put in place... somewhere...

Definitely strange... XD

The FS2Path error is easily solved (and should be solved if you have FS2 anywhere other than C:\Games\Freespace2).

System control panel->Advanced->Environmental Variables->New User Variable->

Call the variable FS2Path and the value is the path to where ever you have FS2.


Now when you compile the FSO exes will be copied to your FS2 folder.

Cool, I didn't know that. Then all I have to do is rename the old exe's if I needa keep them for anything.

Thanks.
