Visual Studio 2013 problem

by Almir Ahmetagic · in Torque 2D Beginner · 01/21/2015 (10:06 am) · 9 replies

So i just recompiled Torque2d in Visual Studio 2013 as i noticed that one of the projects (Torque2d.vcxproj) is incompatible and was not compiled.
Is there a possibility to fix that or do I have to wait for an update?

I've compiled T2D in VS2013 many times with no problems - check your build log and see what the issue is....

I think that the problem is the Update 4 for VS2013
Is there a way to remove it?

Reinstall VS2013 - but that's not the problem, because I'm not having a problem with it, and no one else is reporting this issue. More details on your issue would be helpful....

Pre-3.6 versions of T3D need a few changes to compile in VS2013. pastebin.com/DwS3cMFD
The current version of T3D should be okay.

Alright, so I tried opening it again and now I get this error

I doubt that I did anything wrong because my Windows 8 is freshly installed and so is my VS2013

That's pretty awesome! Not even kidding, right before my last post I pulled the latest master and built it, so you've discovered something very interesting indeed. Did you pull this down in the zip file or did you check out directly from Github?

Ok, try this - open the VS2012 solution and see if it successfully updates them to 2013.

I downloaded the zip from Github

I just tried the VS2012 solution and something strange happened
The error of not supporting it is now gone but now I get this error in both Solutions

I actually doubt that this is the problem of my VS2013 or my T2D because as I installed Windows updates my Laptop rebooted and I came straight into the BIOS and couldn't leave. I then had to shutdown the laptop and as I started it again Windwos greeted me with the Dialogue: Windows detected a hard disk problem
I will probably have to send the laptop in and get it repaired

Well, I got a new Laptop to work with and it seems that it still won't work properly.

This is my problem, am I just too stupid to get the engine working or is there another problem?

I get this error in the console:
Project 'Torque2D' could not be loaded because this edition of Visual C++ does not support classic style native application or managed projects.

I don't know - that's pretty cool.

Try checking out the source using Git and see what happens. I can't speak toward the zipped source because I don't use it, but a clean checkout from Git works every time for me.
