GuideBot Beta 0.8

#21 @ Donald

Same here, linker errors.
If it helps I've posted them here:

Edit: Fixed it.

#22 The VisualDataBlocks aren't loading (non-GMK). Is that on purpose? Since now my giSoldier won't animate or shoot.

#23 >The VisualDataBlocks aren't loading (non-GMK). Is that on purpose? Since >now my giSoldier won't animate or shoot.

Strange, I wasn't enable to repeat your errors. I will keep trying.
Are you using Alpha 1.1 version of T3D.

#24

Quote:Are you using Alpha 1.1 version of T3D.

Yes

#25 Marcus,

Make sure that your lib files are set correctly in the project properties. It looks like you have the debug lib set in the release project or vice-versa.

#26 @ Kerry

If your talking about comment #21, you should know i fixed it. Now im struggling with VisualDataBlocks not loading.

Just figured that the Effectors not loading has something to do with the VisualDataBlocks not loading. These error messages are spamming my console:

VisualDataBlock: visual forwardVisual doesn't have effectors.It can't be created
32: Register object failed for object forwardVisual of class VisualDataBlock.
Effector::convertFromString: unknown effector

#27 @Marcus L

>Just figured that the Effectors not loading has something to do with the >VisualDataBlocks not loading. These error messages are spamming my >console:

Only idea I have is that VisualDataBlock isn't compiled at all.
Have you tried use precomplied guideBot.exe and dll files instead, will it work?

#28 Tried the precompiled files, and they work. I've tried the install guide several of times now, and each time has ended either in crash or non-loaded VisualDataBlocks. It crashes unless i include the guideBot to the DLL solutions "project dependency".

Does it make any difference if i use the vc 2005 instead of 2008? Am i supposed to have to remove the "Ignore Specific Library" form the project, because if i don't do i get linker errors (the ones above)? Have anyone here successfully compiled non-GMK version of the guide bot? Sorry for the bother...

#29 @Marcus L

Thanks for the info. We tested GMK and non-GMK version (non GMK exe and dll is result of our compilation), but maybe there are some issues we forget about. I will try it now, and let you know what I have learned once I get result.

#30 I have encountered same problem. Tried the precompiled files, and they work.

VisualDataBlock: visual forwardVisual doesn't have effectors.It can't be created
32: Register object failed for object forwardVisual of class VisualDataBlock.
Effector::convertFromString: unknown effector

I could not understand where the problem originated. Installer Guide re-read, but I'm still experiencing the same problem. I would appreciate if you are interested in this subject.

#31 @Kodgraf Game Studio
Do you use FPS example or project generated from template as starting point for merging?

I still can repeat error :(

#32 any find a fix for the animations not playing in the guidebot level?
using T3D1.1a with GMK 1.2.7 and buidebot beta.
the soldier doesn't run any animations

#33 @Yuri

I used project generated from template.

I get a warning like the following in addition. (guideBot.lib)

15>Linking...

#34 @Kodgraf Game Studio

I got the same error using Visual Studio 2008 and could not find a solution. I used Visual Studio 2005 and it compiled fine.

#35 @Kerry
Hımm..

@Yuri
How can we get guideBot.vcproj file which is Visual Studio 2008 adapted?

#36 @Kerry
Does the Effectors and VisualDataBlocks work when you compiled in vc 2005?

#37 Hi Guys,

I'm working with VC 2008 and have to admit there are some problems.
I haven't been able to get work in release mode, and now searching for solution. Sorry, it our fault. Hopefully I will be able to post update tomorrow.


One of Guide Bot users Kaj Wikman has suggest solution:

He suggests to turn off program optimization in properties->c++->optimization->whole program optimization.


By the way does debug mode works for you in 2008 or you got the same errors?

#38 I am able to compile the version with GMK on 2008 both in release and debug with the fix in post 10. Although I get no animations in the guidebot mission.

#39 The debug version worked fine using Visual Studio 2008 but I got errors in release mode. I have already tried turning off whole program optimization but still could not get the release version to compile in VS 2008.

#40 @ Kerry
What errors are you getting. Because I'm able to compile the release version in vs 2008.
