Compile errors: March 16 2004 18:38:07 Release

Now, normally I'm a good lurker, strong RTFM proponent, all around self sufficient user. But this one I'm not sure how to fix, I'm just not that good. I'll assume this release is current from the date, so if anyone has any suggestions (or how I was just simply stupid and missed something easy) by all means...and thanks :)

Using VS .NET at my office to compile, I receive the following output.

I'm getting the same error, using VS .NET as well. I found 1 other post on the problem, but I'm not sure how to apply that to this code.

Here are the offending lines mq2utilities.cpp (1212 & 1248)

switch(abs(EffectID))

sprintf(szTemp, "UndefinedEffect%03d", abs(EffectID));

From reading that, I'm not quite sure what I could change besides abs with int. Oh well, good time to learn something eh? :) Gonna try it and see what happens.

mrjoshuanc · Post by **mrjoshuanc** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 11:01 pm

Ok, just replaced abs with int and got a successful compile, however it does break any scripts that use right clicks I guess, since apparently this is exactly the area of mq2utilities i just broke with my change =/

Guess I'll have to dig up a copy of VS6. Grrrr.

carpaltunnel · Post by **carpaltunnel** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 11:25 pm

Well after chatting with a friend, I removed abs from both lines. Compiled fine, running in game, right click item works fine for me in a macro.

devNull · Post by **devNull** » Wed Mar 17, 2004 4:15 am

What about casting the DWORD to int or long?

Code: Select all

switch(abs( (int) EffectID )) 

sprintf(szTemp, "UndefinedEffect%03d", abs( (int) EffectID ));

or

Code: Select all

switch( (int) abs( (long) EffectID )) 

sprintf(szTemp, "UndefinedEffect%03d", (int) abs( (long) EffectID ));

I got the same errors. Fatal errors and build failed using VS.NET.

Thanks for the great work you guys do. Very enjoyable product.

Changing the code in MQ2Utilities.cpp on lines 1212 and 1248 (if I recall) to the following code allowed VC.NET to compile without errors.

switch(abs( (int) EffectID ))

sprintf(szTemp, "UndefinedEffect%03d", abs( (int) EffectID ));

Thank you DevNull,

JT

Casting them to (long) works as well, and might keep more info intact.

It's just a style thing from that point, though.

koad · Post by **koad** » Wed Mar 17, 2004 7:07 am

this is from the update that was merged from my plugin's update that i posted the other day to mq2spellsearch, that code was redone and i neglected to include the typecasting for compatibility in .net

You'll only have this problem if you're using 2003 version of .net. Compiles fine under .net standard (2002).

To fix it, see

I am getting
undeclared identifier for

_ActualVersionDate
_ActualVersionTime
_ExpectedVersionDate
_expectedVersionTime

any suggestions (besides use search as it brings up nothing)

using .net 2003

Thanks in advance

nm - must have been a conflict with the new download from today and the offests (from thread yeterday) - recompiled with DL'ed offsets .. no errors

Hrmm I must be missing something, because when I go to download MQ2, the only thing in the zipfile is a readme.txt. Where did you guys get this version from? (I tried downloading from the downloads section)..

Whatever you're smoking, pass it this way.. and secondly why did you hijack a random thread to post that you're an idiot, having nothing at all to do with the topic?

Anyway anyone that gets this problem, replace abs(EffectID) with simply EffectID. abs as you know gets the absolute value of an integer, which does this: If (val<0) val=-val; However, EffectID is a DWORD, and a DWORD is an "unsigned long". Unsigned means that there is no possibility of negativity (will always be non-negative). Therefore, abs does nothing. Remove the abs.
