The Powder Toy

I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 express, and i have been following the compiling guide (TPT++) on the wiki, and everything was going well, but i suddenly recieved a huge amount of errors that seem to be related to generator.py.

I have no python knowledge, so i am unable to fix this myself. Can anyone help me? (Searching the forums has yeilded no solutions)

Errors: http://pastebin.com/UbTgWnG0

(edit: i am compiling the unmodified source)

try removing the /pim folder from the solution, so it isn't compiled. It isn't used for anything that anyone besides Simon/savask understands.

After that, you will probably get another error because there were some things I could not figure out what to do when I wrote the guide. You probably need this: generator.py, you can just double click it to run it.

Is there any way you could send me the files generated by generator.py? When i run it, a Command-line window flashes for a fraction of a second, reading:

File "(generator.py location)" line 206 in <module>

generateElements()

File "(generator.py location)" line 35, in generateElements

d[3] = string.atoi<d[3])

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'atoi'

Any ideas?

Ok, if I have time to go on my computer I can send it to you. It must be some weird problem with the Python version you have or something

its ok, i fixed the problem. I just modified a few bits of code in the actual source, and its working fine now. Thank you for the help.

Oh, and by the way, is the 84.3 source code availiable? I hae the latest github version, but it is only 84.2.

The source from github will always be up-to-date or higher than the release version, The latest github version is indeed 84.3, not sure why yours would say 84.2.

You still need to add all those missing headers that are never there like zlib.h. -_-

I have no idea either. its no big deal though.

New problems, i have added a very simple element, and i have used Metal as a guide, becuse it is effectively a clone of metal. However, despite the lack of any compiling errors, it has failed to show up in-game. According to the console, it does not even exist. I have modified ElementClasses.h to accept it as an element, but is there anything else i need to do?

My updated ElementClasses.h: http://pastebin.com/snSCABJN (right at the bottom)

It said "SSE2" is invalid for the instruction set. 0_0

Edit: It's not SSE2, there's a whole bunch of other crap with it. -_-

Not to sound rude or anything cyberdragon, but do you have actual solutions to my problems, or are you just going to confuse me more than I already am?
