ConsoleDoc

#1 Very nice.. Just a word for warning; the program crashes if there are empty lines in the config file.

#2 Cool, I was looking for an update to this...

Thanks :)

#3 Thanks! This is really going to help me!

#4 Excellent! Exactly what i needed!

#5 I havent had the opportunity to play with ConsoleDoc for a while, but I will attempt to take care of the empty line issue and re upload the files with a new version number after I get some more feedback.

#6 An excellant tool, helped answer some questions immediately after its use.

Thanks!

#7 When I tried to use this program on the latest release of the engine the program crashed when it started to scan consoleObject.cc.

When I investigated the problem, the program crashed when it tried to actually scan the defintions of the addField method.
After a brief look through of the file, I found nothing that would add to the console documentation. So I added a little patch job.

Here's the code I changed:

In ScanDocs.cpp under the definition of ScanDir I changed this :

while(FindNextFile(hFind,&FindFileData))
		if (FindFileData.cFileName[0] != '.')
			if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
			{
				ScanDir(newPath,FindFileData.cFileName);
				SetCurrentDirectory(newPath);
			}
			else
					ScanFile(FindFileData.cFileName);

to this:

while(FindNextFile(hFind,&FindFileData))
		if (FindFileData.cFileName[0] != '.')
			if (FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
			{
				ScanDir(newPath,FindFileData.cFileName);
				SetCurrentDirectory(newPath);
			}
			else
			{
				//ScanLine inside ScanFile will crash when it "scans" the actual definitions of the function addField, etc.
				//No worries though, there isn't any thing console related possible to add to the documentation :)
				if(strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, "consoleObject.cc") != 0 && strcmp(FindFileData.cFileName, "consoleObject.h") != 0)
					ScanFile(FindFileData.cFileName);
			}

Hopefully someone else will find this helpful.

#8 Hey great job! That fix was exactly what I needed.

Thanks

#9 Not able to complie under VC++ 2003.
It would say:

....\main.cpp(51) : error C2039: 'nocreate' : is not a member of  'std::basic_ios<_Elem,_Traits>'

(I've add 'using namespace std;' to the main.h) to avoid tons of errors.

Any ideas?

#10 Here's my main.cpp after "doing the right thing" and standardizing the includes:

#include
//#include deprecated
#include
//#include deprecated
#include

#include
#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;

--------etc

After doing that, I receive 10 errors tha looked like this:

ConDB.cpp(60): error C2664: 'ConDB::writeTXT' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'std::ofstream' to 'std::ofstream'

Basically, what's happening here is that the output stream is NOT being passed by reference in the old code and the Microsoft compiler in VS/VC++ prior to 2003 just didn't care. Now in VC++ .NET 2003, it won't let you do that.

What worked for me was passing the output stream by reference...

In your header files, change this:

bool writeTXT(ofstream outFile);

to this:

bool writeTXT(ofstream& outFile);

In your CPP files, change this:

::writeTXT(ofstream outFile)

to this:

::writeTXT(ofstream& outFile)

So, for example, in ConEvent.cpp, my writeTXT function looks like this:

bool ConEvent::writeTXT(ofstream& outFile)

This compiled for me, and I'm testing it now...

#11 does not work
