    Thanks for looking into this, David. When we get 1.4 out of RC mode, we'll officially update the various content packs. Till then, it's awesome to see the community stepping up to the plate!

    Thanks,
    Also need to change RTS\GuiRTSTSCtrl.h

    In enum PanEdge rename the 'bit' function to 'BIT'

    Worked for me thanks, also had to move some private sections into protected sections as suggested by
    www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=37286

    I had the error
    ... cannot access private member declared in class ...

    In shapeBase.h:
    I had to move mSoundThread, the whole Thread struct, and mScriptThread
    to the protected section of code, making sure that the whole thread struct
    was declared before mScriptThread.

    In guiRTSTSCtrl.h, near line 46 (or so):

    Change
    enum PanEdge {
    EdgeNone = bit(0),
    EdgeLeft = bit(1),
    EdgeRight = bit(2),
    EdgeTop = bit(3),
    EdgeBottom = bit(4)
    };

    to

    enum PanEdge {
    EdgeNone = BIT(0),
    EdgeLeft = BIT(1),
    EdgeRight = BIT(2),
    EdgeTop = BIT(3),
    EdgeBottom = BIT(4)
    };

    ---- NOTE:
    I have mucked around with guiRTSCtrl.h so much with my current project that this might not even be in the original - please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Just purchased the RTS Pack finally. Excellent and the addon's are pretty nice for it as well. What is the status of getting it over to 1.4?

    If you take the stock 1.4 and add RTS with the above changes, it appears to work properly, except you don't get the green circle around your selections. For that, you'll need to make quite a few changes in engine/terrain to terrData.[cc/h] and terrRender.[cc/h]. Also, you need to copy over terrSelection.cc from the 1.3 RTS pack.

    For the can't access private variable mSoundThread error you need to make a friend.

    class ShapeBase : public GameBase
{
   typedef GameBase Parent;
   friend class ShapeBaseConvex;
   friend class ShapeBaseImageData;
   // JAS:START:RTSKit code
   friend class RTSUnit;
   // JAS:END:RTSKit code

    Do the above instructions make RTS-SK work with 1.4? I don't want to go through a few hours work only to have it be for naught.

    If you want to make this work with TGE 1.5, you need to make all the adjustments above, plus some for the integrated Torque Lighting Kit.

    First, at the top of RTSBuilding.cc, add:
    #include "sceneGraph/sceneGraph.h"


    In RTSBuilding.cc, void RTSBuildingMarker::renderObject(SceneState* state, SceneRenderImage* image), change:
    installLights();
    to
    gClientSceneGraph->getLightManager()->sgSetupLights(this);

    and change:
    renderShadow(dist,fogAmount);
    to:
    renderShadow(state, image);

    and then change:
    uninstallLights();
    to:
    gClientSceneGraph->getLightManager()->sgResetLights();
