1.4RC2 - trying not to use unicode and get unicode related error

by David Stewart · in Torque Game Engine · 09/11/2005 (12:07 am) · 4 replies

Note: Using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition beta (also have the platform sdk installed)

I rem'd out the torque_unicode define in torqueconfig.h
and I made sure that the unicode define wasn't used.

Doing the above, I lowered the number of unicode related errors down to 6. (32 more show up when the unicode is defined)
Please let me know if these should there should be #ifdef's surrounding these statements or not.
It doesnt seem to me that these are needed if unicode is not to be used.

There are a couple of small problems with VS2005. I fixed them earlier and sent the fixes to Ben along with vc8 projects. He said he'd get onto it on Monday, but if you cant wait that long ... you can get them here. This compiles cleanly with VS2005 Beta 2 Enterprise, I assume it should work with Express too. Note that the projects are setup for Unicode.

Great stuff Tom! Thanks!
I thought that there may be some issues with vc++ 05.

Will play with it tomorrow, err today, what ever the day turns out to be after I get some sleep.

I got it working, despite that the platform sdk wasnt installed properly. (unicode intact)
still had some issues with the resource file but I cheated and commented out everything except the icon settings.

Thanks Tom, Ben and everyone else.

might poke around with the video stuff later.

As far as the resource file goes, the only problem i had was resource.h was not in the project directory. The vc8 directory from my zip file has the resource.h in it, otherwise you can just copy it from the vc6 directory. I didnt hit any other issues with resources, but I guess your platSDK issues may have caused you problems there. It probably doesnt really matter that much at the end of the day, IIRC Torque only uses resources for the icon anyway.
