I got it working by compiling under Borland2006 instead of Borland6. Althought I WTF'ed at 'call to undefined function memcpy', by adding #include <string.h> before, and not after, every other include, I got it to eventually compile to the end. Now it requires devil.dll, probably because my dll->lib doesn't really convert the whole dll but just its index, but I gave that mapconv some bmp and it produced smf + smt.
So now I can start (trying to) make the actual changes.
Feature TDF addition
Moderator: Moderators
I'd create an std::map<int,float> to hold the rotations where the integer is the ID used in the red channel, and the float is the rotation.
Then in the small loop that loads the fs.txt contents it will instead read the line in and seperate it into 2 values, the featurename and a rotation defaulting to zero, seperated by a space or soemthing else.
Then when feature objects are being created the value 0 will be replaced with a call to the map<> container to retrieve the angle of rotation.
A further improvement would be the ability to define a TDF file OTA style referencing feature positions, to allow map makers to remove the 256 feature types limit.
As a bonus, the featurename of geothermal vents is 'GeoVent' thus you can now compile maps with geothermals anywhere by placing a GeoVent feature.

btw devc++ == outdated mingw32
Your better getting codeblocks then copying over the uptodate mingw32 as devc++ wont compile AIs or spring correctly.
However netbeans 5.5 is better for a lot as it doesnt have hacky UI glitches and issues, such as not being able to copy paste with rightclick on codeblocks, and a much nicer interface.
My DevCPP MingW compiles Spring and all SVN AIs just fine, thanks.
