Visual Studio 2010

[Ryonez]

Hi guys,
I currently have Visual Studio 2010 and need help using/importing the HPL1
engine in. If someone has a working 2010 build so I could look though the code and start tweeking that would be great.

Cheers

P.S. I'm also asking after the OALWrapper 2010 build.

I have everything compiled with visual studio 2010, but I warn you. I have a lot of errors and crashes within the program. I am thinking of recompiling with visual studio 2003

[Ryonez]

I would love to look at a copy of it please.

Did you get the code to compile with less errors using 2003 VS?

Would it be possible to upload this from your git branch etc...?

[Ryonez]

I don't have 2003, I have 2008 + 2010, both convert it with errors, and I don't have a git branch.

I'm using Visual C++ Express 2010 (assuming there aren't any big differences between that and VS2010, though I will be getting that soon), but I can't get it to compile yet since I'm missing some of the required headers e.g. Newton.h, SDL.h and so on.

The only thing I've done with it is go through and change some safety warnings (sprintf to sprintf_s and _wfopen to _wfopen_s), and I doubt I'd do much more with it anyway since the whole thing is much larger than anything I'm used to.

What sort of problems are you having, if any? Not that I can promise I'll necessarily have many answers.

It is that I don't have any experance apart from hellow world with C++, all my exp is in java.

Here is my conversion log

I can't get it to compile yet since I'm missing some of the required headers e.g. Newton.h, SDL.h and so on.

Did you grab dependencies.zip, as outlined in http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-3360.html ?

Ah, thanks for pointing that out to me. I haven't even looked in the Overture forum yet- in fact all I've done is download the HPL and OALWrapper Source so far. But I'll download everything else a little later today probably and then maybe I can get it compiling properly (though I can easily imagine other problems potentially coming up.

As for Ryonez, I'm not particularly familiar with Java so I don't know how similar it is to C++ (though from what I've seen I think the syntax is pretty similar). That said though, if you don't know that much C++, trying to take a look at something the size of HPL/Overture mightn't be the best idea, depending on what you're hoping to get out of it. But if you had any particular questions related to the source code or the project overall you could still ask them.

Are you still having problems? I got the project compiling with Visual Studio 2010 fine now. This thread helped a whole lot: thread.
