Compiling RF with Visual C++ 2005 Express

[paradoxnj]

You're forgetting that with lightmaps, it is possible to have much moe detail in the scene. A lightmap can for example provide sharp shadows, whereas Direct3D7 can only have pervertex lighting. It would consume an insane amount of vertices to get the shadows as detailed as with a lightmap, which would then be slower.

That is a myth. Lightmaps look better in certain circumstances. Vertices for shadows should only be the outline of the model. So, it should not take any more vertices than it does now. Shadows are not using the light itself. They are using the position and direction of the light to figure out the location and orientation of the shadow.

DX9 renders large batches better. In order to get detail that you are speaking of, you would need to tesselate the BSP faces to hundreds of polys. This can be done on BSP compile. Being that Genesis compiles it's BSP, the BSP can be loaded into one vertex and index buffer and DrawIndexedPrimitive() can be called once per face (in this case a face would be hundreds of polys which would be OK.

If you use DX9, you don't need fixed function lighting. Shaders can light your way. That becomes not only more efficient, but will include way more detail as the lighting can be per-pixel. No one (except HL2) uses lightmaps anymore. Everyone is using lighting models implemented in shaders.

Trying adding a source file to your project.

[incenseman2003]

Every time I open a project's XML file accidentally like you did, I curse Microsoft for the dumb functionality...

You have the "project" open, but not the -project- open. To open the actual project, choose File->Open->Project/Solution... and choose the project file.

I did as you said and the build menu is now clickable. However there is no "Build All". Also the text for the code doesn't show up in the editor, its just blank grey.

Trying adding a source file to your project.

I'm not sure what you mean. I have all the resources in the right places and the program is pointed to them as outlined by QOD.

Try the Build->Build Solution menu item.

[paradoxnj]

Actually, it looks like you have a solution but no project. Right click the Solution in the Solution Explorer and select add New Project.

[incenseman2003]

Actually, it looks like you have a solution but no project. Right click the Solution in the Solution Explorer and select add New Project.

It says "(1 Project)" next to the name of the solution in the Solution Explorer.

Try the Build->Build Solution menu item.

This what I get when I do that.

Code: Select all

You didn't tell VC++ where it can find the header files. Follow QuestofDream's instructions at the beginning of this topic.

You didn't tell VC++ where it can find the header files. Follow QuestofDream's instructions at the beginning of this topic.

Here are creenies of what I have told the compiler to use and where it is.

I followed QOD's instruction to the letter as best I could.





Is there anything that I missed?

I did search my entire HD for "windows.h" and found nothing.

[AndyCR]

If you found no "windows.h" file on your hard drive, you should reinstall the platform sdk.

hi
i'm new to game,cant compile too ,the SW disappear from window XP totally after click compile
How can i check if i miss some plugin ?
thn

[aicd99]

Could you tell me how to compile tpack.exe (Reality Factory Texture Packer) using visual c++ 2006 please
