Compiling DR in Visual Studio 2017


Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

I've decided to have a look at the DR code, which starts with trying to compile it. I found this page and began going through the instructions.

 

I used TortoiseGit to clone DR. Is this any different to going to GitHub and downloading the project as a zip file, or is a Git client just for keeping things synchronized?

 

The link to TortoiseGit takes us to a different program:

Only a Google search takes us to the correct program.

 

I extracted the w32deps/ and w64deps/ folders into DarkRadiant so my folder structure matched the screenshot.

 

When I tried to compile (Debug/Release or Win32/64 makes no difference) I got well over 100 errors about missing files:

I did some searching and found a solution to the above:

(reinstall VS (it may do an update) then you'll see the modify button mentioned by parsely72)

 

I then got it to compile, albeit with many warnings:

Those warnings disappeared after the first compilation, so I guess all relevant files were created.

 

Hopefully my story will help someone else. Does the wiki page need updating?

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
