I'm editing the rank.dll for MERVbot from Catid so it can support 26 ranks instead of just ten, and so it will anounce officer rank achivments instead of just the top rank. But when my compiler gets to spawn.cpp it can't find the tell() function to call. I'm using DEV-C++ if that helps at all. The files is attached if you want to see them.

I believe that's at the top of spawn.cpp... For the BotEvents, it is in dllcore.h.

then it should have already named the tell() function out when it reached the the spawns.h, but why isn't the compiler picking it up? I think this compiler sucks.

Compiler isn't picking what up? Here's the definition:

Code: Show/Hide

void botInfo::tell(BotEvent &event)
{
if (callback && handle)
{
event.handle = handle;
callback(event);
}
}

633 C:\Blahertech.com\Programs\Rank\spawn.cpp no matching function for call to `botInfo::tell(BotEvent)'
note C:\Blahertech.com\Programs\Rank\spawn.cpp:161 candidates are: void botInfo::tell(BotEvent&)
Why is it giving me this crap then?

I'm sorry if this seems simple to you but, C++ enviroments are not my thing. The compiler also said int i wasn't going to go through the scope if it didn't go through the 'for (; i < NUM_RANKS;)' even though i starts at 0, so I had to use int i befor the two if{}'s that use them in line 68 instead of using 'for (int i = 0; i < NUM_RANKS; i++ )' after that line.

The for loop thing sounds like the same problem I've had. Trying switching compilers to this.

It still takes a while to understand the Debug enviroment. Besides the compiler is in BETA that's probably why it's getting confused on the scope of i not being intialized if it didn't go through the 'for' even though it will always go through the first time.

It's not a beta problem. You just need to declare int i at the top of all functions with multiple for loops, but make sure to leave each definition in the loops.

I'd suggest using the ide Purge linked and getting used to remedying its' error messages. There's a lot of support there and the errors are probably as clear as they will get anywhere.

Then learn what scope means.

He didn't make fun of your English or whatever, he just said what he thought, and I agree, it doesn't sound like you have any idea what you're doing, and you obviously don't.

You don't have to get mad or start being rude.
You did claim to know what you were doing, before.

Also, show a little more respect for the people who could potentially help you. You did, in fact, ask him and all the others on these forums.

I didn't say I now know what I'm doing. I said I learned alot (functions, pointers, and members functions or classes.).

I knew when you posted that first quote that you were lying. If you do not understand "int i;" then you are not ready to be compiling anything.

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2006 10:42 pm Post subject:

But Ekted, you don't need to know C++ to make a MERVBot plugin. These days technology is so advanced that you can just copy+paste any necessary thought or knowledge!

Why should anyone help you blah-er? You come on here, spam shit and then ask for help? ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED. You should be thanking these guys ALOT for trying to help you.

I understand what int i; is it's a intager that's used to count how many times it's looped. I dled the MS VS C++ 2005 and it works fine now so I have it built now. Yay, lets celibrate my idiocy and the first DLL project I made (edited and improved)! BTW Cancer+ calm down it's just text it's not like it's the end of the world. I'm still getting that start up error saying to contact my vendor to pay $250 for a support call though.

I know that i is a intager that uses 4 bytes of space, and I know all about public and global scopes. I was just saying on how i was used. But thank you anyways.

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2006 4:49 pm Post subject:

But you don't even know how to spell integer. And it's not even just a programming term, either. Go away.

And it's funny that you repeated the one thing Ekted said that wasn't necessarily true. An 'int' is not always 4 bytes. Now as a quick test, what is always 4 bytes and when is 'int not?

omg I know, I know!

bubble gum is always 4 bites.
int is not 4 bytes if you set it to -1.
