Donovan's SRB2 Source Code Qs: 6/15 Qs answered (2 on hold)

[Donovan the hedgehog]

Ok, I have loads of questions. If they have "----------" before the
number, it has been answered. If they have "**********", it has
been answered half way, for the questioning from the answer,
scroll down to the extra section.

1. When I compile it, it says it has no errors but its not compiling.
----------2. Where is the EXE when you compile it?
----------3. What file is it so you can edit the Menu?
----------4. How will I know when it compiles it right?
----------5. Where can I find the intro and credits?
**********6. Where do I edit the names of lumps for pictures?
**********7. How do I test the EXE to see if it is doing the
right things if its not compiling?
8. Where do I edit the configuration names
for lumps from lump editors?
----------9. Why does it say that it has 57 errors when I just
tried to compile it?
10. When I compile it, it does not put the file anywhere.
----------11. How come it is not running the EXE when I click
compile and run?

6. Whatever lump or resource you want to find, use the "find in files" function in your compiler, just about every development program has a "search for text in all files" feature.

1. Where can I find that option?
2. How do I work the option?

7. Fix the error. You can't test it if it won't compile! =/

1. It does not go to the place where I did the error so how do I know witch thing to fix?
2. How can I fix the errors when it gives me no info about where it is?

2. SRB2Win in the "bin" folder. Can be changed in the compiler options.

11.The required files (srb2.srb, sonic.plr, etc...) are not in the destination folder.

11.The required files (srb2.srb, sonic.plr, etc...) are not in the destination folder.

if you are making a SDL build, you can make an envvar called SRB2WADDIR to tell SRB2 where the wad files are.

cd c:\msys\home\logan\srb2\src
make SDL=1 MINGW=1
set SRB2WADDIR=C:\srb2.11
..\bin\Mingw\Release\srb2sdl.exe
