list.draw_mode=LDM_RECTS;

yeah, i can agree, also projects using particles won't compile with old source code
always good to have an esenthel backup of the version before!

Lets act like I am not a programmer and changed over from UDK3 to Esenthel due to the awesome rep and found out the base code is changed making the project I have worked on for 2 mounts is now trash, where do I go from here?

I changed nothing in the gui from the sep built to the aug.

Hi Docrst,

Your last comment is a little vague (even after the edit). If taken the wrong way, it sounds like you are saying a simple engine name change "trashed" all your work. I have worked with this engine for a while now and have dealt with many name changes. I also work in the Software Development world, so Schema or Software upgrades are no stranger to me.

This update was MINOR. If you cannot figure out how to update your project to accommodate a minor GUI draw update, I would be happy to help you. It is worth considering that you should be familiar with this type of process if you are going to be using this or any engine.

Regardless, if you would like help upgrading your project, I am personally offering my assistance. I simply wish that you had requested help rather than the way you have worded it in your previous comment.

In the "Name Changes" post for this last patch, I found:
List.draw_mode -> drawMode
So it looks like you should be able to just change mylist.draw_mode(...) to mylist.drawMode(...). (it's what it looks like, anyways)
Sometimes Esenthel changes the names of variables so they describe their functionality better, or to fit the existing naming scheme better.

See the latest post here: http://www.esenthel.com/community/showth...p?tid=1617

Ozmodian and Rubeus thank you for your posts, guess i was mad that the MINOR change messed up some thing that came with the GUI that I didn't even have anything to do with and it looked to me like it should have been tested before released, again sorry if I came off a bit rash, this is part of the Inventory GUI that came with the Esenthel MMO.

I suggest it would be great if the Editor can alert for commands changes while compiling.

Thank you for all the help, so when I rename it to drawMode the error changes to:

1> Inventory Gui.cpp
1>Source\Inventory Gui.cpp(63): error C2659: '=' : function as left operand

And debug tells me:
ERROR: a pointer to a bound function may only be used to call the function

Fixed with
list. drawMode();

draw_mode was a member variable; it now is a method. This means you don't assign it a value, but you use ().

EDIT: Ah, you fixed it. Nvm.

With an SDK, it's inevitable that sometimes an update is going to break something. It's the nature of the beast. Basically, you have to weigh the pros and cons: do you want the new features and functionality at the cost of having to change some code?
Most people could use an excuse to re-write sections anyways.

always better to have progress on engine
thanks greg for update!

Stability is best, don't change just to change and allays test or you will end up like Microsoft putting out bad code just to make a few dollars.
