Hello I get the following errors below:

====================================================

I' ve read serveral posts and gone through serveral merges and whatnot to come to this point. It all started with a simple ljpeg.lib issue, then blew out to 156 errors, and now back down to 9. If some can help me solve this I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm just using V C++ with VC6 libs.

I should add. I have the RTS kit, the lighting pack, and the SDK. I can get them all to compile perfectly within their directories, but under the LightingPack-RTS directory I am getting the original 156 errors again. They are listed below.

RTS_DEBUG.exe - 156 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I am using freshly downloaded copies of all my code, and used the TLK_RTS_Autopatch-1.3.5 to merge them, and followed that up with WinMerge

I've checked project settings, registry entries.

I hope someone out there can point me in the right direction.

Your project file(s) are not correctly building the entire project. For example, in the first post you made, it looks like not all of the /RTS directory was merged, and/or parts (RTSVisManager.cc specifically) did not get added to the project.

I'm not quite as familiar with the lighting pack code, but am reasonably confident the same problem exists, just with different files.

I did manage to get the /RTS directory into the newly merged directory.

What other project files would you recommend I look at? I'm lost here.

I found the solution, I did not have all the project files recommended from the TLK migration guide. I have managed to get them and now I am having 3 errors.

Did you change terrData.cc? The selection circles are rendered using modifications to that code. If TLK touches the code, too, then there's a conflict. :)

I didn't change any code in terrData.cc but I did copy the TLK version over to the LightingPack-RTS directorybased on the migration guide docs.

I will go over it again and leave terrData.cc as is in the LightingPack-RTS dir and see what happens.

It didn't make any difference, the three errors still show up with or without the terrData.cc copied from TLK to LightingPack-RTS.
