sound issues

[revelator]

ok i fixed as much as possible in the source except for a function no longer provided by mfc namely InvertSysMenu();

i can compile it but it dies instantly it seems fun thing first time i started it it bitched about a missing pak file hmm ?

[revelator]

ah ok took the pak from the official build and i can start it but its a bit wonky executing qoole99.exe itself does absolutly nothing i need to drag the pakfile on it i suspect theres some needed registry entries to be done.

if i replace the official one with mine it works allthough it crashed when trying to save

if you want i can upload the fixed source code ?

[revelator]

ouch well most of the problems seem to originate from it using an ancient version of mfc.

to be blunt the exception handling uses something like a sigtrap system (unixy at its best) instead of try[] catch[] also the code does no cleanup so newer mfc dlls get quite pissy about it

it compiles now but its far from stable i left the fixed source on my ftp under the name Qoole99.7z

Code: Select all

class LConfig {
public:
   LConfig(char *name);
   ~LConfig(void);

   void RegisterVar(char *name, void *ptr, int type);
   void SaveVars(void);

   static void Init(int curVer, int reqVer);
   static void Exit(void);

private:
   // heres where most of the problems begin ...
   static struct LVar {
      char   name[32];
      void   *ptr;
      int      type;
   };

   char      sectionName[32];
   int         numLVars;

   LVar      *lvars[256];

   static int currentVer, requiredVer, registryVer;
};

main bad guy of it all.

the LVar struct goes bonkers on us interresting thing is i can actually use a union instead and then it starts no problem but saving crashes us with the struct it newer starts and if i hook it into the debugger it tells me that LVar->whatever is a bad pointer

Sounds like a change in runtime behavior between versions to me. Have you already searched in MSDN for this ?

[revelator]

according to msn old mfc code except a few bits and pieces like InvertSysMenu () (now handled by os files) etc should work if compiled with managed extensions.

tried compiling the code with msvc6 and works there even with those codeparts removed. NET doesnt like it at all

[revelator]

something to maybe consider ?

porting it to wxwidgets (most of the mfc calls can be done with it allready just need to prefix the mfc calls with wx)

my ide has quite a nice wx editor builtin (think borlands delphi style)

would be compatible with other compilers.

this thread is now old but i have some news.
source updated to msvc100 (visual studio 10) took me some time as i still needed to learn the quirks of c++ its stable though so i think i managed to get somewhere
unfortunatly its not possible (atleast not without replacing all the mfc code with something like wxwidgets or QT) to build it with mingw or any other freeware compiler.
