Compiling on Win32 using no-cost tools (MSVC++ 2008 Express)

Hi, softcder! You can provide glest - vc2008proj.tgz download, thank you!


I can not download this address: http://glest.codemonger.org/files/glest-vc2008proj.tgz

The VC++ project files for mega-glest are in SVN under mk\windoze. You'll have to checkout the files from SVN to get them.

Thanks

mk \ windoze which there is no game.vcproj
By the way: In addition to using vs2008, is also what is required to compile the source code???

Thanks, I'll try to look at megaglest.

Just open Glest.sln and compile all the projects. Output goes into build\Release\<projectname>

There seems to be a problem with the codes I got off the SVN repository. I was able to compile it and then build xerces 3.0 dll from the win32 deps i downloaded. The problem was I keep on getting error from glest.ini about unitParticles not existing and the game can't continue. I've noticed there was 8 player slots on custom game, different from the megaglest release. Am I doing it wrong?

Edit:

I added UnitParticles on glest.ini and the game finally loads. I wonder what's this for?

Its a brand new property added by Titi.. it enables the new particle work he added in this new release.
