IMHO, that's a very bad policy. Not only I raised the warning level of my compiler to 3 (the SDK set it carelessly to 1 on VC++), but I usually compile with the "warning as error" option enabled. Warnings are your best friends, at least most of them. There only a few that are really overzealous, exactly five on VC++. Just disable those, if you want, but lowering the warning level means losing A LOT of useful advices from the compiler. You have been... warned! ;)

When i do an update of the engine code , i had an issue to check quickly if there was no warning message after my update. This is the reason of the patch : isolate in a simple way "my" warning message.
As written by Alberto , when I am "warned" I have to take care ...
But if I received too many warnings .... It is confusing ... and risky to ignore them ...

I create this patch because I am not able in a glance to identifiy the "normal" warning of "my" warning after an update of the torque code.When i do an update of the engine code , i had an issue to check quickly if there was no warning message after my update. This is the reason of the patch : isolate in a simple way "my" warning message.

Well, I don't find this resource useful, because warnings are just "warnings" and not errors.
There are just some warnings about casting, but if you compile it all works fine.
It's true that I didn't like to see those warnings again and again... so I lowered the warning level of my compiler.
I use VS2005 Express, and by applying the directions listed on the TDN, I compile without any error, and no warnings.
