Hi,
I have the source code for an RTS game (+- 240 MB in size). When trying to build it in Visual 2010 it will ask me to convert it and then I get a lot off errors.
The source was written around the year 2003-2005. Could someone advise which version off Visual I should be using to build the executable without having to convert it?
If more information is needed, just ask.
Thanks in advance for any answer.
Regards
What kind of errors are you getting?
Here's how I proceeded, step by step:
File-Open-Project/Solution->Project.sln
Next Conversion wizard loads
I click on Next (no back up) Next
Then it starts converting 1 of 11 projects ( Cossacks2, DipServer, IntExplorer, IChat, CommCore, LF_Server ,ClassEngine, gMOtor, MissionEngine, Launcher, NiceVopyl)
When finished it gives a popup:
"The project cossacks2.vcxproj appears to be under source control, but the associated source control plug-in is not installed on this computer. Source control will be disabled for this project."
I click Ok
Next popup:
"The project IntExplorer.vcxproj appears to be under source control, but the associated source control plug-in is not installed on this computer. Source control will be disabled for this project."
I click ok
(it goes trough all 11 projects with same popup)'
Loading Solution
Preparing Solution...
Next Pop-Up:
" The associated source control plug-in is not installed or could not be initialized":
(3 Options: )
-Temporarily work uncontrolled
-Work offline in disconnected mode ( greyed out)
-Permanently remove source control association bindings ( I choose this one)
Preparing solution....
Conversion complete: "All projects converted succesfully with some warnings. Please see the conversion log for complete information"
No errors but a lot off warnings. One off the 11 projects ( Cossacks2) in the solution has 54 warnings.
Upgrade log2.xml :
I cant seem to attach an .xml here ( not a valid attachment) and pasting the content makes the post too long ( over 20 000 characters) (how can I show the errors?)
Then it continues:
Parsing files in solution....
Scanning included files...
Parsing included files...
Ready
Then I choose Build Solution.
And then the following errors come up:
So I need some advice, I'm not sure whether its the version off Visual, the environment or the setup I'm working with. Or all 3 ;-)Code:------ Skipped Build: Project: CommCore, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

Most of those errors are due to the later versions of Visual C++ being ANSI C++ compliant.Quote:

I looked inside and it says version 8.0. So I'll install the 2005 version and see if that is any better. Thanks for that suggestion.Quote:

Meh, no I do not have a q: drive. An C: and an E: I have.Quote:

Understood. I'll try with an earlier version off Visual C++ rather than fixing these errors myself and creating possibly more problems. ThanksQuote:

(Can't find no edit my post button, hope you dont mind double posting)
As said in previous post. I opened the .sln file and it stated following:
"Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 8.00
Project("{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}") = "cossacks2", "COSSACKS2\cossacks2.vcproj", "{60D954A2-8B83-46E3-9BCF-B614117E2F7D}"
I read that as Version 8.00, hence Visual 2005, so I installed it but on running that version and opening the solution it's asking me to convert again, saying it was created in a previous version.
What am I missing here? ( And should I install an even earlier version? 2003?)
Better would be fixing the errors... :cool:Quote:

(Unless you offer to help me to fix the errors ;-) )
See, the way I'm looking at it, when the source was created an .exe was succesfully build from it then for the game and as such I should be able to reproduce that process given that I can create the same environment ( version, settings,...) as the developpers did back then.
You may ask why I'm not using the .exe build then. Well, it's for a modification off the game, and before making any changes to the source itself I want to ensure that it builds the .exe properly from the original source without having to think I'm the one who made the errors by changing any lines off code.
Hope that makes sense?
So I tried on VS2003, it no longer asks me to convert trough the conversion wizard. It seems to open properly.
I changed the properties off the projects from Q: to my E: drive (linkers, custom build settings,..)( still cant believe I missed that one at first)
And then when building I get the following:
at the last line ( with csun.h ) it seems to hang there and not do anything anymore. Not sure why.Code:------ Skipped Build: Project: CommCore, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

Looks like either you are missing some files or they are not in the right path. Did you try to find these files?
Yes, solution file format version 8.00 means VS.NET2003.Quote:

I looked up these 2 files to see if they were there. They both are present in the solution explorer. So why do I get this error then?
They are not being found in your include path. The "Solution Explorer" is not the same as the include path that the compiler uses.
Viggy
Ok, those 2 above mentionned missing file errors are gone now.
I build again and get following output:

What do I do with this one?Code:should not include d3dtypes.h when compiling for DX8 or newer interfaces
Eg. in PlaceInAJob.cpp this appears so the build output says:

Here is a question for you: What if this compiles, and it doesn't run correctly? How are you going to fix it, given that you were reluctant to change any source code?

That D3D warning does not appear to have prevented the build. I don't know D3D enough to suggest what to do about it, but if it compiled I wouldn't worry too much.
Understood, it's a warning, so I'll just ignore it for now.Quote:

Ha well, it consists off some 1800 files over 70 folders, +- 240 MB. It was created by GSC Game World, a Ukrainian Game Developper and a lot off the comment lines are a mixture off Ukrainian/Russian and very very bad english.Quote:

At the time they made this, they had a hit with the Cossacks 1 series and from what I can tell, they were just building the code for Cossacks 2 on top off their old engine and simulteaneously using this for 3 other games ( American COnquest, Alexander and Heroes Of Annihilated empires) which they were developping at the same time. It has references to all these games in this code I'm using now.
When modifying the game files itself i noticed they have a tendency to do sloppy work and it seems its no different in the source off the engine itself.
But the games all work and are quite nice ;-)
Good question. Right now I'm still going from the assumption, that the game developpers have created an engine.exe from this source which works and as such it should be possible to recreate that without having to change too much. As a matter fact , in the source files, there is a folder 'bin' which has the engine.exe and .dll's which were created back in 2004/2005 and when using those files in the game itself it actually runs.Quote:

So, what I'm trying to say is, I'm taking babysteps here on this road, and when I get to the end off the road and I still havent managed to get it to work, then I will have no choice but to start fixing errors. Hope that makes sense.
Getting closer step by step.
Today I ran into this one
Code:cl : Command line error D2016 : '/Og' and '/ZI' command-line options are incompatible.
I wonder, are still banned by Google? :confused:Quote:

I already googled it and disabled /ZI in the properties but it still comes up. Hence me asking here.Quote:
