Problem with my mod
-
Before I start explaining my problem I want to signal that I know this is the hundredth post about any mod problem and that I also know how to use the search bar and the wiki. Although, even if I tried most of the solutions, I couldn't find or understand a detailed solution to my problem.
My problem is I can't play my mod or when the game starts, my changes aren't applied. I don't what is the exact origin of this problem but I have two possible reasons :
- I followed the whole wiki tutorial about compiling with Visual Studio 2010; I did exactly what was written but in the end I have the wrong error message and I'm missing files compared to the tutorial.
- The other thing is that I have no .exe file in my mod. I tried putting the "Powder" or the "Powder-legacy" files at different places in my mod folder : the game starts but there aren't the changes I made in the "powder.h" document.
Can you please help me without too much flaming or insults ? That would be very nice...

Visual studio itself makes the mod don't put powder toy in your mod folder. You need to sort out the error messages so tell us what they are and then we can solve them. Also get rid of all edited stuff before compiling. First compile with an unedited source.

you have to fix those errors if you want to play it

The detailed error message is :
Unable to start program 'C:\Documents and Settings\Wilhelm\My Documents\Games\Powder Toy\Powder Toy Coding\Coding Stuff\Debug\Mushroom's Mod.exe.
The specified file is unfindable.

I checked it, it ends in a folder where I have : the "build", "Debug", "font", "includes", "ipch" & "src" folders;
and the ".gitignore", "addzip.py", "console_README", "getheader.py", "LICENSE", "Makefile", "Mushroom's mod.vcxproj", "README", "roadmap" & "script.sh" files;
and "Mushroom's mod" (SQL Server Compact Edition Database File), "Mushroom's mod" (Microsoft Visual Studio Solution), "Mushroom's mod" (VC++Project) & "Mushroom's mod.vcxproj" (VC++Project Filters File. -

Try cleaning and rebuilding.
You can't start it because it isn't there, I think. I don't use VS, I prefer Code::Blocks.
And don't put other .exes in the folder, the compiler builds them for you... -_- -
@cctvdude99
Cleaning everything in the folder ? -
@Mushroom
Have you even tried compiling yet? And no, you should have an option to clean the build in your compiler.
You have no .exe because of errors stopping the build when you start the build. -
