[nevermind this thread - i resolved my issue]

see post #5

in a nutshell, i was trying to merge Dale's Combat Mod into the latest Bug/Bull from the SVN, and was having trouble building the merged DLL.

done.

BUG/BULL & Dale's combat mod 1.7 merged and appear to be working after some initial tests.

Ranged bombard works, new air missions available, A-Bomb bomber works, the "war effects" terrain appears on tiles during fighting etc.

And all while having the goodness of the BULL features.

so far so good.

I suspect the issue was the added file from BULL, eh?

the problem was mainly trying to use the platform SDK and visual C runtime i already had on my machine from visual studio 2008 professional, instead of downloading the 2003 toolkit and SDK.

lots of warnings, and some errors.

i actually had to comment out some stuff in the 2008 stdlib.h to get it to finally compile.. but then the game required new visual C runtime DLL's to run. so im like thats not going to work well if i ever put this up for download. looked around and saw a post about downloading the 2003 toolkit etc.

Ah yes, that got me too at first. I figured I knew enough to use the more recent libraries and get it working . . . hah! Foiled by Microsoft again.
