1st off, thanks for the timely response!

No I never removed the netplay components its just never thrown an error on the pre-link or post link phase of the compile, theoretically I might get a link error on the compile portion of the non-netplay objects, but I assume (and i admit i could be wrong here) that if there were some link errors on the non-netplay components they would show up with all the other link errors I see.


Hmm...Ok I copied my ws2_32.dll into a folder I designated as additional library directory, I will add it to the list of linker dependencies (kind leary to do that though all .lib files) ...testing now...

Code:

------ Build started: Project: uqm, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
F:\uqm\UM\uqm-0.6.2\src\ws2_32.dll : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x288
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Didnt like this file in the props/config->linker->input->additional dependencies threw above error.

Also I should probably copy my current versions of the wspiapiwrap files:

Code:

#ifndef _WSPIAPIWRAP_H
#define _WSPIAPIWRAP_H
//#include <winsock2.h>
//#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include <wspiapi.h>
#endif  /* _WSPIAPIWRAP_H */

and the .c file:

Code:

#include "netport.h"
//#if defined(USE_WINSOCK) && defined(__MINGW32__)
//# include <ws2tcpip.h>
//# include <wspiapi.h>
//#endif

just tried this header version didnt work either:

Code:

#ifndef _WSPIAPIWRAP_H
#define _WSPIAPIWRAP_H
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include <wspiapi.h>
#endif  /* _WSPIAPIWRAP_H */

LOL so frustrating because I feel like I am so close!!

Hi, I searched for a response to this error, and this post is the closest I have seen to the problem I have.

I almost got UQM to compile in one night thanks to the guide here:
http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=1590.msg20369#msg20369

Basically it compiles and can play but the net components are not seeing the linker here are the error codes:

As you can see these are all related to netplay options. Prior to that everything compiles. I have tried the fix listed on the thread that had very similar answers here: http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=4353.0
The suggestion there was to remove the code in the wspiapiwrap.h and replace it with just:  <wspiapi.h>.

I tried that and also the reverse using winsock2, and <ws2tcpip.h>, and I even copied the ws2_32.dll into a linker directory. So any ideas would be appreciated.

System specs: Windows Xp &  VS 10 C++, not sure if that has anything to do with these issues.
Support software versions : oggvorbis-win32sdk-1.0.1
 SDL-1.2.14
SDL_image-1.2.10
uqm-0.6.2
zlib1.2.3 (has the zdll.lib and header files)
libpng1.dll - is version 1.0.8.0 from the OpenAL 1.1 SDK

I think it way be some kind of glitch with VS 10, but since I am using Xp I am not sure where the real problem with the network play link errors. Please any help is welcome!

So if you tried to sell an android or iphone app port of this you would be selling the port software and not the game 

I mean not to get into a legal argument per say, it is just that the original game was intended for PC so does porting it to cell phones constitute ip infringement? Or debt to the owners of the original. This is assuming a port was renamed on the cover and the same under the hood, so to speak.

Seriously though good to know that if a port was possible to Xlive/PSN game networks it would require the official corp green light, otherwise it would not be a port at all just a recreation of SC2.

Well given the terms of GNU, which I only vaguely understand (I program web-apps/DB stuff using non-GNU SDK's). I wasn't really sure. Thanks for the clarification.

So in essence is someone wanted to take the UQM source code and mod it for an app like a cell app or DL app on PSN/XboxLive they could do so and charge money with no legal concerns?

If yes, well then geez c'mon UQM team make some ports!

J/k I understand most of us need reliable paying gigs before we have time to code up stuff like this...then there is always the other conundrum...

Once you get free time do you code or do you game...

[revitalize the IP]

I have been seeing a bunch of old game ports go over into the Xbox live and Playstation Network for download. I was curious who owns SC2/UM now and could port it into those networks. Ownership is an issue since people have to pay to DLoad the content on those networks.

Just struck me as a great idea to revitalize the IP and maybe encourage people for ask for another SC game.
