Yeah it’s the gcc version from this site. I think I’ll just bite the bullet and reinstall Windows. This all started after a hard drive failure, even though the particular drive didn’t actually have any compiler/monkey2 related stuff on it, it won’t hurt to re-install as it’s an old installation now and it won’t hurt to have a refresh

[peterigzParticipant]

Thanks Amon, yeah I’ve done all that but no joy. I’m pretty sure I’d either be getting “cl isn’t recognised as a command line” or “can’t find include file”, but it is running cl and stdout is showing that everything is including ok so that all seems ok. Something odd is up seeing as I can’t compile with either mingw or visual c. Here’s my windows_env file, which is pretty much default plus the version changes:

I tried cloning the git repository and downloading mingw (from download page here) and doing a rebuild but the same message.

Also tried installing Visual Studio 2017 but having issues with that as well:

Not entirely sure what the “System cannot find the path specified.” All the version numbers and paths are correct in windows_env, and tmp/stdout doesn’t show any errors. Not sure what to do to fix/diagnose further.

VS is installed in C:\Program Files x86\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017

and Window Kits in C:\Program Files x86\Windows Kits\10

[peterigzParticipant]

Good idea!

[peterigzParticipant]

That’s great Mark, thanks.

So if I wanted to save a zip would I compress stuff to a data buffer as above and then save the databuffer to disk, would that work?

[peterigzParticipant]

zip::stream sounds awesome if you can add that

Thanks for the example, didn’t know about memory:: looks like something I could use in the meantime.

It was really cool in Blitzmax the way you could pass either a string or object to the image loader and it would handle it, so would be a nice feature to have. I’m looking to update TimelineFX to be able to load .eff files (basically zip files) rather then the need to unpack them first.

[peterigzParticipant]

Is there anyway yet to load an image straight from a zip file without the need to extract it to disk first?

[peterigzParticipant]

Chipmunk has 2d raycasting, and also my own timelinefx has collisions with a raycasting function, there’s an example in the samples folder. Not sure about mojo3d but it uses bullet which must have raycasting functions built into it?

[peterigzParticipant]

Thanks, glad you like it

I wrote my own xml parser because there wasn’t one around at the time, but I guess I could look at using tinyxml2 in the next version. In the meantime you might have to use namespaces to specify the module you want to use.

[peterigzParticipant]

I fixed the Blendmode issue and uploaded a new version for Mark to verify, or you can grab from github: https://github.com/peterigz/timelinefx.monkey2

I think those samples are just tests and not much to do with using the actual particle effects so everything else should be ok.

[peterigzParticipant]

It was running ok and I *think* I have the latest version of mx2 but will check later tonight and fix if there’s any issues.

[peterigzParticipant]

Just tried out the demo, looks really good!

[peterigzParticipant]

This was on Windows, I didn’t try the ide rebuild yet, will do that next time.

[peterigzParticipant]

Thanks for checking, I think actually it’s because there’s no debug version of the modules, will rebuild again and see if that works

Edit: Yep that worked. There was a module (wpm-game) that wasn’t compiling so the rebuildall script was finishing early and I didn’t notice.

[peterigzParticipant]

Sorry I only just spotted this thread!

It’s a good question, I can’t remember exactly – this is where I should be making better use of git commit comments I suspect though that I did it purely to keep things as simple as possible.
