Survivor Code

Ahh, that explains it! XD
I'm using the SVN's SDK, and that splits that code into DllMain.cpp and LevelMain.cpp

[Sirbomber]

Hooman really needs to learn when not to mess with the SDK, especially because he only made that change to shave 2 seconds off the compile time...

I think he did it to give it a better structure. I personally like how the actual mission code is separated from the boiler plate.

[Hooman]

I did it both for structure and for speed. There is no reason for someone just learning to write missions to even look at DllMain. That's just a required technical detail. You only ever muck with that with fairly advanced custom mods, usually involving code overwriting. So, the power to modify it is there for those rare cases when it's needed, and otherwise it stays out of people's way.

Plus, I'd learned a few tips around that time about getting C++ code to compile faster by improving it's organization. That's probably what got me thinking about the structural issue. Besides, shaving 2 seconds off compile time isn't exactly insignificant. That extra compile time slows down the testing/debugging cycle by a perceivable time period, which has negative psychological effects on wanting to do what you're doing. The slow compile times was one of my biggest annoyances about C++ when I first started learning it. Most C++ compilers are notorious for being slow, but then, the grammar for C++ is a huge pain for compilers to deal with.

Are you using the SVN's updated SDK, Flashy?

I downloaded it here

Okay.
Did you get it to work yet?
If not, then using this should work for your original problem:

Code: [Select]

// Replace the BOOL APIENTRY Dllmain section with this:

unsigned char newSetTile[] =

                    curUnit.DoDeath();
            }
        }
    }

    int unitObj = *((int*)0x54F848) + (120*unit.unitID);
    int hp = 0;

Okay.

If not, then using this should work for your original problem:
[After adding this, it worked!]

OMG!
It works!!!!
Thank you

PS: I can't believe it!
