No TSE Example

by William Gooding · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/06/2004 (1:16 pm) · 11 replies

Hello:

I bought TSE, download it and try to compile it in Visual Studio 2002. However, apparently in the solution for VC6.0 there is no example project like Torque. So every time I open the solution, I receive a windows message that states:

Project TSE.vcproj looks like is under control of source code, but there is no provider of source code control installed in this equipment.

That message appear for all of the main folders in the engine.

When I build the project, I rev\ceive a lot of files that can not open.

I would like to know if somebody is experiencing the same problem or if I can correct it.

In the torwue Shader engine project, I added the instruction "../example" in the debugging area of the properties. That minimize the amount of errors. However, I can't still run the engine and I have fatal errors in two files that can't open:
strsafe.h and _DEBUG.lib.

What can I do to correct this message?

OK. this is what I did:

I went to the video card properties and set the resolution of the screen driven by the application. Maybe I had problems because the resolution I use is 1290 x 960 pixels.

I still have compilation errors: "cannot open the include file strsafe.h", but if I say continue, the demo runs smoothly so far.

I hope this info can help somebody else. If somebody knows what is generating the error that I still have, I would appreciate it.

Sounds like you're missing some service packs or something else that has to do with strings.

It is true. I cannot find the file anywhere in my system.
Anybody knows which service pack should I look for?

I have downloaded and installed the service pack 1 and 2 for the framework 1. Also I have installed the framework 1.1. However, I still have problems with that file.

Anybody knows if there is a different service pack that I should install besides the previous ones?

Strsafe.h is included in the Platform SDK from Microsoft.

Maybe this needs to be added to the FAQ.

There are a variety of tools available to convert the VC2003 solution to VC2002, maybe you'd have more luck with that path. I think most people are using 2003.

Here's one I found with a quick Google (never tried the tool myself)

Hopefully someone here has successfully compiled using VS2002 and can add more. I have a copy, but I'd really prefer not to have to install it.

To compile with VS2002 you need to download the core sdk from microsoft. This includes the strsafe.h files you need.

Once you have installed that compile as normal and things should be ok.

Can someone mention this in an FAQ please.

I forgot to thank you all for the help in this subject.

I installed the sdk, moved the file to VS and the engine worked just fine.

It's been in the TSE Developer FAQ for a while. You need to download and install the Windows Platform SDK if you are having problems compiling strsafe.h.
