Re: [QUESTION] Noggit compile instructions?

[Mjollna]

Err, as I said in my other post, I've started to do this (the settings window I mean)... I just need some more time (since I'm abroad right now) but its on the way.

Ah nice to hear

Looks like my problem is something to do with the Freetype libs/headers. Not too sure if I'm supposed to grab the latest version of that and point the build files to the src or includes folder of that?

edit: got it to launch properly now. Just doesn't have any settings, so all I get is a window with tabs and no content... but it compiled and executes now

Edit: it seems as though it doesn't want to link against StormLib at random. Sometimes it builds without issue, other times it reports an error when linking to StormLibRAD.lib. Not sure what's up with that. It's also not reading from MPQ's, and does not launch when the value is changed in the registry to point to my 3.3.5 install - It seemed that the font file, skurri.ttf was causing the issue, according to the log (hence the inability to open MPQ's).

edit:

8 - (application.cpp:47): Noggit Studio - 440
11 - (application.cpp:286): Game path: g:wow335
11 - (application.cpp:287): Project path: C:GamesWorld of Warcraft
12 - (file.cpp:31): [Error] Requested file fonts/skurri.ttf which does not exist.
13 - (application.cpp:399): [Error] Unrecoverable error: Requested file does not exist.

hmm...

g:wow335

not

g:wow335

Add the  in the registry !

[akspa420]

Yeah, it works now
Very unstable, but that's to be expected with switching over to a different set of libs for UI elements. Time to learn more about QT4.

[akspa420]

Just wanted to bump the topic since more commits have been occurring in the repository lately. I'm getting my system ready to compile it again, hopefully a bit more stable than the last time I had attempted the build process. I'll post with results if I end up with a working build or not.

[schlumpf]

The build process is easy and working without problems since more than a year now. I don't see why someone should have problems except for configuration error.

[akspa420]

Ok. There does seem to be an issue in the registry - when the game directory is defined, noggit seems to re-write the registry entry and add a forward slash to the path (like this: c:wow335/ ). The log states that the mpq's aren't found in the data folder. Trying to debug this  :roll:
Probably my stupidity...

[schlumpf]

Most likely not your fault but code adding a / independent of platform, while it should be  on windows. That code should use a QFile, not a QString to avoid this.

[Mjollna]

As far as I know the / doesn't matter, but there is issues about settings, I wanted to post about this today. Let me some time to eat and I post afterwards.
