Problem compiling MenuQC

I am guessing that this is something the compiler I'm using doesn't support.

So what do I do? I tried switching to FTEQCC but it won't compile because the MenuQC code uses arrays and apparently FTEQCC doesn't support that.

The menu code in DPMod is unused (I hope) and 3 years old - I think Black restarted it from scratch a few times since then.

Nexuiz is the only mod I know of which actually uses menu qc, and their code is up to date:

Ah, okay then. I was aware that Nexuiz has working MenuQC but I decided to take the source from DP because it was apparently cleaner and hopefully easier for me to learn from.

Looks like I'm going to have to find some time to dissect that monster from Nexuiz then...

MenuQC is a new untreaded, undocumented ground for most since it's so relatively new. I think you're diving into the unknown too early

[Nash]

Really? I wouldn't know.

I don't think FrikQCC does #ifdefs and stuff. I'm pretty sure the Nexuiz team is using FTEQCC.

[Nash]

I decided not to bother anymore and just edit the DP source. It makes much more sense than trying to get the MenuQC to compile. :(

[Sajt]

Except for the fact that if you release something that is based on a modified DP engine, six months down the line people will be playing your mod with a six month old DP build

Although if your changes are minor you could probably merge them into the DP subversion tree, like Nexuiz does.

it's not changeable via commandline, it's a special type modifier, that admittedly has limited use.

Thanks for the information, Frika.
