Pointers to strings

[oeystein]

I've just compiled the source, but I'm having some problems with the different string pointers used. In sys_win.c the compiler(VS2005 pro) throws 21 warnings about incompatible types. Example: warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible types - from 'char [12]' to 'LPCWSTR'
This causes the string functions to return erroneus values.

Should I try to undef UNICODE or is there som other way to adress this issue?

The sourcecode was downloaded from trunk yesterday.

well, noone here is using visualC - i you are using it and you can compile and link ufo, it would be nice if you would send patches

Well, I can look into it and see what I can do. Which compiler do you guys use. If noone is using Visual, maybe i should just change to another compiler. Where and how do I send the patches. I'm afraid that if I start using MS-specific types I might break the project for other compilers.

Also, the file intl.dll that was included in trunk had a dependency to "msvcr80.dll" which was not found. The intl.dll downloaded from http://www.files.lanas.de/ufo/dlls.zip seemed to fix the problem.

we are mainly using gcc - but it is always good to compile the code with different compilers - patches can be sent to our patchtracker at the sourceforge.net project files - also see our wiki for more compiling information.

Getting uninitialized variable at idx(bottom of the page). Is this some debugging residue? I compiled without #define debug

Code: [Select]



static float AIRFIGHT_ProbabilityToHit (aircraft_t *shooter, aircraft_t *target, int slotIdx)
{
int idx;
float probability = 0.0f;

#ifdef DEBUG
idx = shooter->weapons[slotIdx].itemIdx;
if (idx < 0) {
Com_Printf("AIRFIGHT_ProbabilityToHit: no weapon assigned to attacking aircraft\n");
return probability;
}

idx = shooter->weapons[slotIdx].ammoIdx;
if (idx < 0) {
Com_Printf("AIRFIGHT_ProbabilityToHit: no ammo in weapon of attacking aircraft\n");
return probability;
}
#endif

/* Take Base probability from the ammo of the attacking aircraft */
probability = aircraftItems[idx].stats[AIR_STATS_ACCURACY];

fixed in latest revision - thanks

the repo includes project files for the windows for the dev-cpp IDE.
