Tank with TGE1.4w/TLK

#1 So I'm guessing no one has tried getting the tank pack working with TLK?

#2 Yeah I got it working though it was a long time ago. I do remember getting the same error message but can't quite remember how I fixed it. I think it was just a matter of declaring something in the public class as opposed to the private class.

#3 This don't really help me but maybe you could help me?

#4 I'm busy at the moment but I will dig out the tank pack tonight and get it installed to TLK 1.4.

I'll post what you need to do later on.

#5 tankShape.h

Near bottom of file, around line 487, find this line:

void renderShadow(F32 dist, F32 fogAmount);

Directly underneath it add this:

bool prepRenderImage(SceneState* state, const U32 stateKey, const U32 startZone, const bool modifyBaseZoneState);

Problem solved.

#6 After adding your fix I'm getting this when trying to compile.

Linking...
tankShape.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual bool __thiscall TankShape::prepRenderImage(class SceneState *,unsigned int,unsigned int,bool)" (?prepRenderImage@TankShape@@UAE_NPAVSceneState@@II_N@Z)

Build log was saved at "file://c:\Torque\SDK\engine\out.VC8.RELEASE\BuildLog.htm"
Torque Demo - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Btw, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 if that matters.

EDIT
I just commented out "void renderShadow(F32 dist, F32 fogAmount);" and it compiled and I added the tank ingame and it works but by doing this is it bad?

#7 Check shapeBase.h at around line 1522 and make sure this line is in there:

virtual void renderShadow(F32 dist, F32 fogAmount);

Also, check wheeledVehicle.h and see how that file handles the same situation then replicate it in tankShape.h.

I'm using vc6 and it compiles fine for me. I don't compile Torque with VS so if that's what's causing the problem I can be of no further help.

Perhaps try contacting John Kabus or BraveTree.

Are you still seeing a shadow from the tank?

#9 Well I looked at shapeBase.h and wheeledvehicle.h and noticed that in both files it has "// Lighting Pack code block" around

void renderShadow(F32 dist, F32 fogAmount);
   bool prepRenderImage(SceneState* state, const U32 stateKey, const U32 startZone, const bool modifyBaseZoneState);

So then I looking over the wheeledvehicle.h to find out where that code is located. And I move that code up farther in the tankShape.h and I got it to compile and working great. So basicly what I did is move the rendershadow to LIne 328 and add the prepRenderImage and it compiled with no errors.

Thankyou very for your help!
