Yet another Lope Color Prob HELP PLZ :(

ok i patched the code and changed the /e but i still have another error:

c:\windows\desktop\rom\src\comm.c(2473) : error C2084: function 'void __cdecl page_to_char(const char *,struct char_data *)' already has a body

how do i fix this? im running the win version of rom and compiling with visual C++ ive also tried using cygwin to make it and still get that error.


i notice in the source of comm.c theres 2 of these:

/*
* Send a page to one char.
*/
void page_to_char( const char *txt, CHAR_DATA *ch )
{
if ( txt == NULL || ch->desc == NULL)
return;

if (ch->lines == 0 )
{
send_to_char(txt,ch);
return;
}

#if defined(macintosh)
send_to_char(txt,ch);
#else
ch->desc->showstr_head = alloc_mem(strlen(txt) + 1);
strcpy(ch->desc->showstr_head,txt);
ch->desc->showstr_point = ch->desc->showstr_head;
show_string(ch->desc,"");
#endif
}

/*
* Page to one char, new colour version, by Lope.
*/
void page_to_char( const char *txt, CHAR_DATA *ch )
{
const char *point;
char *point2;
char buf[ MAX_STRING_LENGTH * 4 ];
int skip = 0;

#if defined(macintosh)
send_to_char( txt, ch );
#else
buf[0] = '\0';
point2 = buf;
if( txt && ch->desc )
{
if( IS_SET( ch->act, PLR_COLOUR ) )
{
for( point = txt ; *point ; point++ )
{
if( *point == '{' )
{
point++;
skip = colour( *point, ch, point2 );
while( skip-- > 0 )
++point2;
continue;
}
*point2 = *point;
*++point2 = '\0';
}
*point2 = '\0';
ch->desc->showstr_head = alloc_mem( strlen( buf ) + 1 );
strcpy( ch->desc->showstr_head, buf );
ch->desc->showstr_point = ch->desc->showstr_head;
show_string( ch->desc, "" );
}
else
{
for( point = txt ; *point ; point++ )
{
if( *point == '{' )
{
point++;
continue;
}
*point2 = *point;
*++point2 = '\0';
}
*point2 = '\0';
ch->desc->showstr_head = alloc_mem( strlen( buf ) + 1 );
strcpy( ch->desc->showstr_head, buf );
ch->desc->showstr_point = ch->desc->showstr_head;
show_string( ch->desc, "" );
}
}
#endif
return;
}



I see theres 2 sets with:

void page_to_char( const char *txt, CHAR_DATA *ch )


but i tried removing the old one no helpa nd tried remioving the new 1 still nothing when i remove either i get 25 errors when trying to compile again hehe plz help this poor newbie.

Well. I don't have an answer for you but do you know what the __cdecl is right after the void? It would seem to me it is talking about something that says void __cdecl but I've never seen anything like that.. or is it just something that it sticks in there?

Sorry just wondering about that.

Creep

its nowhere in the source and no where on the error line so its something v C++ adds. the error line is just a { which is weird i tried removing it to still nothing but more errors. any1 wanna be so kind as to post a link to a windows rom w/ olc and color already added? :) i know smaug has it but i dont like smaug 2 much. or if sum1 can help me with that error thx.

paste the actual line that is at the line number that it's saying starts the error, that might give a better idea as to the cause.
