The Powder Toy

Fatal_Error

Got this error (stated belove cuz for some reason images dont work). Does anyone know how to fix? I did the ninja thing in the "Building for the first time with MSVC" thinghy on the wiki.

Use the vs prompt, as outlined in the guide.

I did. I followed all of those instructions, even the wipe and reconfigure thing but it just keeps showing that.

What happens if you just try to run cl in that prompt?

I'm sorry. I'm a bit new to modding and you don't quite understand what you want me to do.

LBPHacker

Open the vs prompt, type cl, press enter. (Although at this point I recommend taking a step back and familiarizing yourself with the language and the build system some other way.)

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Then visual studio is lying to our build system. Not sure how to fix that, I've heard a reinstall may fix it.

Ok thanks. I'll try to learn more about the language and stuff too. Thank you for your time spend.
