Cmangos compatibility

[Somecat]

Did a pull merge on the current cmangos code and got a ton of errors from the bot side =/.

Which code are you trying to merge?

I've just merged the latest https://github.com/cmangos/mangos-wotlk 'cmangos-wotlk' core with the playerbot code on https://github.com/blueboy/portal 'blueboy/portal' and there were no issues. Further this merged code compiled and ran fine.

If you are trying to merge the latest cmangos-wotlk with an existing server build (core+playerbot) that was originally supported by the MaNGOS foundation (i.e https://github.com/mangos/MaNGOS-Foundation), then I'm not surprised that your getting tons of merge conflicts. Although both cores shared commits, the code formatting of each was quite different and not mergeable, without extensive resolution. My advice is for you to build a new server, using fresh code from 'cmangos-wotlk' and 'blueboy/portal' githubs

Hope this helps

Ok cool :). Ya i think i was using the new cmangs release (always hard to sort out after a fall out hehe). Ya, I will start over and see what happens. Btw I am no merge expert but all you have to do is pull it over the master (wotlk) right?

Hi,

If you 'git clone' the cmangos-wotlk first to your local repository (I've called mine cmangos)

git clone https://github.com/cmangos/mangos-wotlk.git cmangos (The default active branch will be the 'master')

cd cmangos

If you then 'git pull' the playerbot code, it will automatically merge the remote code with the current active branch i.e 'master'. If you want to be more specific, you can define which remote branch you wish to use and also which local branch you wish to use.

git pull https://github.com/blueboy/portal.git // pull the remote master to the current active branch

git pull https://github.com/blueboy/portal.git new-ai:master // pull the remote new-ai branch to the local master

There is a good reason for the link issues (unresolved external errors) you are getting in your second question.

'VC110': There is currently no playerbot support for VS2012. That doesn't mean that playerbot will not work, it's just that there is no declaration of playerbot files in 'game.vcxproj' & 'game.vcxproj.filters' inside the VC110 folder. I will update these shortly, but if you want to get ahead, take a look at the same files in the VC100 folder. Then copy and paste the playerbot sections across. This should resolve your link errors when building the game library.

@EDIT I have now added playerbot support for VC110. Let us know if it works for you.

Hope this helps

I have received no adverse feedback to the code revision I commited here: https://github.com/blueboy/portal/commit/4f587fc8dbbd1b4f8a91dd36e8788a3f0b5e02f8

I guess no news is good news ;) ... so I will consider this issue closed.
