Need help with Compiling

#1 Hi Glenn,

Can you provide more details about what you are trying to do and what error messages you get?

Here is a link that describe why and how you can get your .exe smaller by using (UPX).

#2 I was trying to install some thing simple rather then try some thing very complex:
http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=11502
I tired replacing/removing/changing the files around all I got the same problem
Here's the build console:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3hcedhjrznl (I'm not posting 100kb page of info)
It may be that its not compatible with .2, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the link as well =)

#3 Glenn,

There are a few compile errors that you must fix. I have not implemented this resource but from a quick look I'll try to guide you.

c:\users\berminghan\desktop\climbresource\engine\game\player.cc(133) : error C2078: too many initializers

Make sure that have updated the player.h according to the resource, you probably is missing the "ClimbAnim" in the enum on line 153 (in player.h)

c:\users\berminghan\desktop\climbresource\engine\game\main.cc(135) : error C2065: 'constructNewFont' : undeclared identifier

I don't know if you really need this for the resource.. the identifier "constructNewFont" is not declared anywhere.. And I can't see it in the resource files provided either.. Try to use the original TGE code on line 135 in main.cc
ResourceManager->registerExtension(".uft", constructFont);
and remove the line with "constructNewFont"

c:\users\berminghan\desktop\climbresource\engine\game\main.cc(298) : error C2065: 'ClimableItemObjectType' : undeclared identifier

Make sure to update "objectTypes.h" according to the resource, you are probably missing "ClimableItemObjectType = BIT(29)" on line 70.

For more information about the compile errors and why they occur please find this links:
C2078
msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/663y2htx(vs.71).aspx
C2065

Hope it helps,
Christopher.

#4 "I noticed the torquedemo.exe is only about 1.6MB and mine is 7.6.MB."

Most likely you are compiling a debug build. When you switch to a Release configuration, it will be considerable smaller in size.

#5 Thanks Marcel, UPX didn't work for me so this helps allot.

#6 The "release configuration" will also be significantly faster too.

#7 Ok I need just a little bit more help, I'm trying to put http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=9617 into the Torque Build but I get these Errors, I know its trying to use some old lighting system that isn't being used any more.

guiObjectView.cc
..\engine\gui\controls\guiObjectView.cc(290) : error C2039: 'setMaxGLLights' : is not a member of 'LightManager'
        ../engine\lightingSystem/sgLightManager.h(103) : see declaration of 'LightManager'

        ../engine\lightingSystem/sgLightManager.h(103) : see declaration of 'LightManager'

        ../engine\lightingSystem/sgLightManager.h(103) : see declaration of 'LightManager'

I'm not sure what I should replace them with, I tried deleting those lines of code and the- re-build worked but the lighting in-game was well sorta broken but it worked.

#9 There is a resource "TGE 1.5.x - Bonus Resource Bundle",
that might help you with the old lightning system.
I have not tried it myself but it might solve your problem.
