351 Errors while building Torque Engine

by Eric Smith · in General Discussion · 06/28/2004 (9:15 pm) · 17 replies

I am using the Getting Started tutorial, but in VC7 (.NET 2003). I've gotten everything done right except for disabling 'Enable Exception Handling' (which could very well be my whole problem). I try to build it (and yes the VC7 reg entries are entered and the VC7 projects included, not the vc6 ones), but I get around 350 "fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive" errors.

Anyone have any hot tips on how to fix this?

PS: If I can get this done I'll have a tutorial up for Visual Studio 2005, for those of us who have it.

Tell you what dude, as soon as you PURCHASE Torque, I'm sure someone will help you out. In the meantime, I suspect GG will be seeing an agent about some IP theft.


If you have purchased the SDK and haven't been updated yet, then my apologies, but these questions will ONLY be addressed in the private section for SDK owners.

Yeah, you're account doesn't state that you own Torque...
and even if you did, "351 errors" indicate that you've made the super-n00b-error #1 which I wouldn't even help you with if you actually *had* the license :P
good luck :)

Yeah, we don't support warezed copies of Torque here.

Not warezed. If it were warezed, I wouldnt have the guts to post here.

Anyways, I'll look into the legality of my copy, but as far as I know, the license is legal. I don't have access to the CVS, but I'm almost positive its legal. If it's not, I'll happily delete my copy and use another engine.

I'll check in the morning.

Night,

For it to be legal it should have been bought by yourself. The TGE license is personal and DEFINETLY non-transferable. Since you dont have a SDK owner account, your posession of the source code is an illegal act, even if it was given to you by someone who bought it.

No no no, wasn't transferred.

Got it from a close buddy who knows someone here and got me a license. He's asleep, so I'll figure this all out in the morning.

If my copy turns out not to be legal, I'll delete it and purchase the SDK in the coming weeks as soon as I get the money allocated.

Knows someone, where? at GG? Who's that?

Yeah, at GG, don't know the name.

Well, I guess if it turns out its not legal, I'll delete it and use another engine or buy Torque. Not much I can do until morning.

If you had a license you would have access to the private SDK forums, and to the CVS. If you had a licenses it would show as much in your profile.

As for knowing someone at GG's.. well there are only 10 people, and I don't recall them ever giving a license away for free. And even if they did they would have tied it to a GG's account so you would have access to the updates, etc.

Hmm.

Well, I just deleted the engine off of my hard drive. Guess it's not legal.

Anyone know of other good Torque-quality engines?

Yes, I'm sure you were already filed to the FBI, they will be there in the morning. RUN while you can.

Ok, just kidding.
No you are not in problem, actually even if you kept using it you wouldn't be in problem, since who controls warezed products? But you wouldn't be able to get help, access to the docs, access to the daily updates and you wouldn't be able to sell your games.

Right. Well, having possession of 'warez' is punishable by law, I believe.
EDIT: It's gotta be. It's basically stealing. Heck, it IS stealing.

Thanks for helping anyways guys!

It is punishable by law... but you ever saw a cop going house by house checking everyones computer to see what they have installed?

No, and your right, there probably wouldnt be a problem with me using it, except that I have moral issues with using warezed software (I'm a software developer, sort of hard to use stolen software when your firmly against it).

I'll have to buy Torque soon then, because I cant find a game engine better or even close to the quality of Torque. Maybe a month or so out, I'll have it.

You probably won't find an engine of the quality of Torque for the price. Free engines aren't as robust as Torque is and better quality engines cost tons more.

And I agree with you on the moral thing, just explaining why you wouldn't be in "problem".
