    I am having trouble updating my mod. The trouble I run into is not necessarly updating my own code but creating a new visual studio project with the most recent code. I keep getting errors where is can't find powder.h and other header files, I have tried re installing the new source code and recreating visual studio projects four times now and I still run into these problems. I don't know why I am running into these problems, and I am getting tired of redoing the settings every time. Does anybody have any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?

    You doesn't have all necessary files, or you fail at linking.

    I downloaded the files and the libraries what else do I need? I see the powder.h and what not in the folder where they belong but its not finding it. I probably do fail at linking :P Anyway I can get some help on where each file needs to go, I am not sure which folders go in the src folder and which folders go outside the src folder for visual studio, or does it even matter

    The libraries and includes folders go outside of the src folder. It should look something like this. The only libraries and includes you need should be these. Just copy the extra include files and folders directly into the old includes folders, and also get the libraries. To link them, just follow the guide on the wiki here. It is a lot easier to do now because the guide was updated a while ago.

    Which version number in defines.h?


    So your saying I just need to copy the files from your second link into the appropriate folders in my old project files I don't need to download the entire thing again?

    You do still need to redownload the source, and then follow the wiki guide again. It should be easier since you've already done it. The hard part is copying all of your old changes into the new source, because you have to make sure you get every change you made into the new source. Make sure you follow the wiki exactly and link the libraries and include files. Also, in the next version of your mod, change the version number, it's asking me for an update when I run it.
