I'll admit, I don't own VS2005, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be backwards compatible. --[[User:Alph Tech STUART|Alph Tech STUART]] 09:27, 17 Dec 2005 (PST)


I own it, and it's not really backwards compatible... You can convert it, but it gives you hell of warnings and errors, that's why i kept on trying to get it to compile... Here's my works result ;) --[[User:Rotzi]]
== Visual C++ Express 2005 Directories Setup ==


I successfully compiled using the listed instructions, but it did not run very well. I believe the heap is being corrupted, the issue seems to be present in both release and debug configurations, although it seems less evident in the release configuration. I think this may be due to hl2.exe being linked with the non-multithreaded C runtime from the 2003 version of Visual Studio. Visual Studio 2005 appears to only have multithreaded C runtimes. It may be possible to get a stable build if you can force Visual Studio 2005 to link against the libc from the Visual C++ 2003 toolkit, rather than just telling it to ignore libc. I haven't tried it, and I haven't read the toolkit license to determine if that's actually an ok thing to do. --[[User:MiasmicAnomie]]
After installing the Microsoft Windows (Platform) SDK, when setting up the directories in Visual C++ Express 2005 do you need to add "Source Files"?? It has one entry:


I successfully compiled as well with Visual Studio 2005 with these instructions with 0 errors and 2 warnings for hl and 3 warnings for client, Playable, MP source.. added my results to the "Whats Working Section". Also I didn't have to do any of the rpg fixes. Happy coding. --[[User:digitaldrowning]]

I'll be getting a copy of Visual Studio 2005 (not express) in the next couple of weeks. Is there a problem compiling on it too or does anybody know yet? --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 07:11, 28 Jan 2006 (PST)


Yes, what i read is there are no Problems with normal, full Version of VS 05, but i had problems... same as with express. --[[User:Rotzi|Rotzi]] 4 Fe 2006 (GMT+1)

OK, looks like I Googled for nothing, so I'm going to warn you guys now, if your getting errors, look in this page, because I Googled for 2 hours, just to be lead back to the page I started on, but at least it all works now, I'm glad for that.

fixed it once with:

grml...
 
doesn't work neither with express nor with full version... maybe i'm just stupid...
 
I'll try again this weekend and update here...
 
[[User:Rotzi]] Feb 2006
 
 
And still I'm having problems... Just tried it again, Release Client only, but did not get past 3 kinds of errors, wich all in all were 190 errors and 439 warnings...
 
I also noticed that including user32.lib and excluding LIBC did not change these error-numbers, so atleast up to that point, it did not need them... Still I'm only talking about client-Release Only.
 
[[User:Rotzi]]
 
I'd recommend /not/ using #pragma warning to disable the deprecated function comments... if you add _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE and _CRT_NON_CONFORMING_SWPRINTFS to the preprocessor options for the projects, and then run a series of simple find/replaces across the solution (no more than about 6 - stricmp->_stricmp, __stricmp->_stricmp, strnicmp->_strnicmp, __strnicmp->_strnicmp, and a few others in similar fashion) then it actually fixes the warnings instead of just making the compiler not tell us about them. --[[User:Superpig]]
 
Also, a nicer fix for ..\tier1\KeyValues.cpp(800): just change the type of the variable to be a const char* instead of a char*. --[[User:Superpig]]
 
And again for ..\cl_dll\hud_bitmapnumericdisplay.cpp(159): Change "10" to "10.f". No need to explicitly cast it. --[[User:Superpig]]
 
----
 
No longer needed, just if i/we need it again... ;)
'undeclared variable'
..\cl_dll\interpolatedvar.h(538)
..\public\sentence.cpp(735)
..\public\sentence.cpp(1098)
..\public\sentence.cpp(1168)
 
===Valves compatible version===
 
[[User:Mosca]]
 
I always hear about valve porting the sdk to VS2005, does any one has news on that, or we should wait until after EP1?
 
 
 
 
Yes and it should have been time for several months... but doesn't seem Valve will get it working at all -.- I think this sucks.
 
Why do they tell us they'll release it in about 3 months. Was that a year ago now? [http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/half-life/default.aspx Check out Microsofts game coding for fun page].
 
"Since the RTM release in November, we do have an update from Valve – "Valve is working hard on ensuring support for Visual C++ Express and expect to have an update very soon for the Source SDK that will enable modding using Visual C++ Express Edition."
 
As they say 2003 suggested and 2005 not supported, i think the comment on the 05 express goes for VS2005 as well...

Visual C++ Express 2005 Directories Setup

After installing the Microsoft Windows (Platform) SDK, when setting up the directories in Visual C++ Express 2005 do you need to add "Source Files"?? It has one entry:

$(VCInstallDir)crt\src

I found this directory in the Platform SDK:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\src\crt

Just curious if it needs to be added.

OK, looks like I Googled for nothing, so I'm going to warn you guys now, if your getting errors, look in this page, because I Googled for 2 hours, just to be lead back to the page I started on, but at least it all works now, I'm glad for that. In conclusion, make sure you aren't looking at the fix before you Google for it...

PRJ0019

When I Build my Mod (Debug), I get this error:


echo Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Copying to c:\program files\steam\steamapps\SourceMods\hunternavan\bin\"

What do I do? --Adam.gamedev 17:45, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

gameinfo.txt

When I Debug my Mod, I get this error: 

 Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory 'hl2'.
 Check your -game paremeter or VCONFIG setting.
