Common Problems:

1. Cannot find afxres.h
   Open GameDll.rc and replace afxres.h with windows.h
   
   Code:
   //#include "afxres.h" //comment out afxres.h
   #include "windows.h"
   
2. (Visual Studio 2010) error C2440, utility (163)
   Open NetHelpers.h and replace this
   
   Code:
   return TNetMessageCallbackResult( ((cls*)p)->Handle##name( serialize, curSeq, oldSeq, pEntityId, pChannel ), NULL ); \
   
   
   With this:
   Code:
   return TNetMessageCallbackResult( ((cls*)p)->Handle##name( serialize, curSeq, oldSeq, pEntityId, pChannel ), reinterpret_cast<INetAtSyncItem*>(NULL) ); \
   

When loading the CryCommon.vcproj the Express Edition asks if you want to convert the project to the format used by the Express Edition... this won't cause any compatibility problems if converted will it?

I would assume not, but would just like confirmation before I do so.
Thanks.

Shouldn't. And I can also confirm VS08 can compile correctly.

/moving to scripting

Thanks, james.

Obviously I'm not experienced with C++, but I'm determined to learn )

sorry for picking the wrong section

Hello,

I installed the sdk and opened the crysismod solution in vc++ 2008. I made sure to put it from debug to profile and when i tried to build the solution, i get the error : cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.

Any help?

Thank you

Do you have mfc/atl? Do you have Visual C++ Express? Maybe you need the platform SDK.

Mine is located @ C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\include\afxres.h

/moved to scripting+coding

Download the Platform SDK @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e6e1c3df-a74f-4207-8586-711ebe331cdc&DisplayLang=en

You don't any of the .NET stuff.

What is mfc/alt? Yeah, I do have Visual C++ Express, 2008.

I downloaded the windows sdk and i still have the problem.

Did you set up the include path?

Project Properties->C++->General->Additional Include Directories

Also, it's "ATL", not "ALT". MFC/ATL are some commonly used windows programming libraries, which you don't have to worry about when making mods. They're only used in CrysisMod for resource stuff.

Also, make sure you use Google ) <- A programmer's best friend.

and MSDN

I found by changing afx entries to windows.h it worked.

Apparently afx isn't required, but VC++ includes it anyway

I can't get my test mod to see any changes ive made to the source code. As a test ive removed energy draining from suit while in cloaked mode. But when i load up my mod in sandbox or game, it still drains.

Ive got the dll in the right place, and the file structure is correct.

Anyone else got this problem?

Never mind, after restarting its working now?

//#include "afxres.h" //comment out afxres.h
#include "windows.h"

i did that as was suggested in another post but now it says

error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'cmd.exe'.


Ahh, can anyone help with this one?

Thank you

wtf... post as much information as you can please. Compiler version. Build log... rc Source file...

omgosh so this means that we can use visual c++ express 2008 edition with no worries! i love you!

Yep, works perfectly.

i can't upload the build log, basically it says

I am using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. I downloaded the sdk platform for windows server 2008 as you suggested. I installed the code in the default directory and I use the CrysisMod solution file to open up the solution. I set both Crycommon and Crymod to profile. As one fix suggested, I commented out the part about the include file and replace it with windows.h. Having done that, I get the cmd.exe error now.

Anything else?
