Patch: Make Your Guild Member's Tags Change Colors

[crusadingknight]

This patch just changes the color of the tags of people in your guild, currently to purple. The diff is on BerliOS.de, and I've posted it here (because I hate having to do unix2dos)

Okay, the diff is:

For anyone like iway, who doesn't compile but browse the forums on teh ebil WIngdows anyway, it's at http://www.freewebs.com/theironguard/elc.zip (This also has everything else in the current CVS in it, so no, I'm not overreacting to my own patch )

[jamesvm]

cool going add my sourse code

[Entropy]

Actually I think this patch should be added to the official version...

[Guest Zeplin]

nice =)

I like this patch, can be easily expanded into the other idea, with enemy guilds listing.

Actually I think this patch should be added to the official version...

Look by me post something here lord vermor get patch installed in game

 

anyone know why 4 error when installed this patch

just thought let you know that at least got error when installed in source code and compline under microsoft visual c++ on windows xp

[Sadez]

The variables must be declared at the beginning of the scope.

[crusadingknight]

No clue how well it patches with the current version, but it works fine on mine...

[Sadez]

As I said the problem is that you are declaring variables in the middle of the code. The C89 specification does not allow this, and that's why VC is giving errors and not other compilers.

[Leeloo]

GCC <3.0 gives errors too about misplaced declarations.

[Wytter]

Perhaps you should use:

-Wdeclaration-after-statement

to ensure that it'd always compile on compilers that don't fully support the C99 standard..

[Leeloo]

Perhaps you should use:

-Wdeclaration-after-statement

cc1: Invalid option `-Wdeclaration-after-statement'

 

Compilers that don't support C99 don't support the warning either.

[Wytter]

Hmm, yes - just checked and it's limited to GCC 3.4 and newer...

[jamesvm]

yaaa finally got to complie susscessfully
