Having problems compiling Better AI SDK...

[Grave]

I'm having problems meging Better AI with a few 2.08 compatable mods. Everything seems to compile fine until the very end, then this comes up...

Any ideas as what I should look into? This only happens with the Better AI SDK files, if I compile with 2.08 SDK files, it's fine.

I think that the latest versions of BetterAI have an extra file CvExtraSaveData.cpp or something. This appears to be missing from the list of files that it compiled and probably contains the functions it can't find.

Of course, it doesn't actually do anything at the minute as BetterAI is save compatible with unmodded civ. So no harm should come with removing all references to CvExtraSaveData if you have to.

Yes, it does. I found the CvExtraSaveData.cpp. You're saying it's not really "required" since the Better AI code is backwards compatable with 2.08?

I was able to solve the problem. I needed to add the CvExtraSaveData .cpp and .h file to the project file of CodeBlocks. It compiled no problem after that.

That file contains the hack we used to remain compatible and still allow us to save some extra info. If I recall correctly, we did not get to the point of actually using this capability, so someone could rip the code out, but it would involve a bit more than just not including that file.
