compiling oct 9 2008 zip - problem/fix with a declaration

[ralliiart]

I don't know if anybody else encountered this, but while compiling the zip from Oct 9 2008 (MQ2-20081009d) I was repeatedly getting an error about an i declaration in MQ2DataTypes.cpp on line 6996.

It's a for loop that declares i as a DWORD when initializing and it didn't like that. I changed the variable used in the loop to "iii" instead of "i", and declared it ahead of the loop instead of inside it, just to make sure, and and it compiled fine from there.

I think "i" was already declared or something before that loop, so it's not liking the re-declaration. Just a guess.

do the following

Code: Select all

 case BuffCount:
      if(!(((PCTARGETWND)pTargetWnd)->BuffInfo > 0))
         return false;
      Dest.DWord = 0;
    [color=black]{[/color]
       for(DWORD i = 0; i < 0x55; i++)
         if(((PCTARGETWND)pTargetWnd)->BuffSpellID[i] != 0xffffffff)
            Dest.DWord++;
      Dest.Type = pIntType;
      return true;
     [color=black]}[/color]

its just a bracket issue, was in last months patch also till they added it in.

are you sure you placed it in the correct spot? because mine and several others have worked fine. Now mind you this is just an issue that Visual C++ has.

Fixed in latest zip.
