There are some solutions in the comments of that thread, if you did them and still haven't fixed these errors, please locate and post the declaration of ZPostDash and let us see it.

I hope this is what your looking for.

Okay well, change the #define before ZPostDash to inline void, remove the comments inside the signature /* */ (not like it matters, but do it).
Also remove all the backslashes from the end of each line in that function, these \

If you still encounter errors, just post them, hopefully we can help.

struct ZPACKEDDASHINFO {
    short    posx, posy, posz;
    short    dirx, diry, dirz;
    BYTE    seltype, nDashColor;
};

inline void ZPostDash(rvector& vPos, rvector& vDir, unsigned char sel_type, int nDashColor) {
    
        ZPACKEDDASHINFO pdi;        
        pdi.posx = Roundf(vPos.x);    
        pdi.posy = Roundf(vPos.y);    
        pdi.posz = Roundf(vPos.z);    
        
        pdi.dirx = vDir.x * 32000;    
        pdi.diry = vDir.y * 32000;    
        pdi.dirz = vDir.z * 32000;    
        
        pdi.seltype = sel_type;        
        pdi.nDashColor = nDashColor;
        
        ZPOSTCMD1(CLOAK_CMD_ID(MC_PEER_DASH, 9964), MCommandParameterBlob(&pdi, sizeof(ZPACKEDDASHINFO))); 
}

This way your DashColor will function normally.

Thank you, im gonna try this when i get home from vacation later today.

It actually gave me quite a few more issues, i fixed those with a simple typo. this is the only thing im stuck on now, this CSCommonE.lib file...

any help is appreciated here.

This is a linker error, the project setup is somehow messed up, and you're probably missing a main function, or the project isn't recognizing it.
The tutorial above shouldn't have caused that problem, it's most likely caused by you, try cleaning up the project and build again.
If not, go to project Properties > Configuration > Linker, give us a picture of that box.

This is the linker configuration that is set up. it def seems something happened? but i havnt touched this linker set up since the configuration set up at the beginning of the source, a LONG time ago lol

Go to System too

Go to System too

Here it is, i hope to get a answer soon, these darn errors have completely stopped all my progress on my source for now.

 

[Equilizer17]

BUMP, any other people know what might be the problem with this?

 

[Equilizer17]

I have equal problem

i fixed my issue, i started with a fresh source, and there is quite a bit of coding that needs updated and added, im using visual studio 2012

 

[Equilizer17]

Ok Thanks for answer, you can tell me how do you fix the problem?

I suggest starting with a fresh source and building around this, since there is so many errors to begin with, the code is just older and not updated.

just read the warnings and mess around with the coding a bit thats how i fixed it, some of the coding locations he put are actually incorrect and you just need to move them to the right spot (atleast in my 2012 visual studio source).

once they were moved to the right location i got alot less errors, and then just read and fixed the errors one by one from there, if you still need help just let me know and ill do my best to help
