[C++] Problem compiling borked code - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Well, with myself being the clueless curious guy that I am, I downloaded the code to a MUD system. Problem is, one of the source files is corrupted, from what the Terminal tells me, it has a few syntax errors and stray /'s. it's a bit much to ask, but could someone here take a look at it for me? I've uploaded it here. That's the source file and Terminal log.

In line 2335 I think I see the problem: You have a string that is being worked on and it's on two lines. I'm pretty sure it has to be all on one line (at least up until the comma after the string I think)

Code:

ch_printf( ch, "Unknown error #%d - %s (immortal data).  Report to Thoric\n\r",

Now, I am using syn to look at this file. I have my line length set to 120 to as to prevent any word wrapping as far as I can tell.

Make sure all your string lines are on one line if this is actually the case.

I don't program often in C, so I could have my head up my ass - anyone care to correct me on this?

Hehehe, nice. I run a heavily modified SWR myself at the moment(it'll be more heavily modified in a couple weeks when I get MySQL functionality built in, but ya).
What it looks like you need to do is pull the errno, strerror( errno ) ); crap into the line above as most multi-line string things are being depreciated or so my compiler tells me.
If that doesn't work, just comment out that line.

I've got it sorted, it was just two line returns that shouldn't have been there =) Now I getta mess with trying to make races the hard way =( Ah well, no peace for the wicked.

Oh, and Fallon, what MUD do you run?

Fallon · 08-18-2004, 09:50 AM

Meh, adding in races isn't to hard, it's when you add racial abilities or difficulties.
