The parameter was STR8, a mutable char*, for a filename the function only
reads: it runs strstr over it and hands it to SoundPlay. environment.cpp picks
between two of them at runtime,
PlayJA2SampleFromFile( Chance( 50 ) ? "Sounds\\WATERSNAKE_ATTACK_01.WAV"
: "Sounds\\WATERSNAKE_ATTACK_02.WAV", ... );
and the conditional is a const char*, which STR8 has no room for. Literals
passed on their own are still accepted under the MSVC rules, which is why only
these two calls ever failed.
The cast at the call to SoundPlay was already written as (STR) and is left as
it is. SoundPlay, SoundPlayStreamed and SoundLoadSample below it all still
take STR, so making them const is a separate piece of work and a much larger
one; until then that cast is where const stops.
No call site changes. The (char*) cast at LuaInitNPCs.cpp:11640 is now
unnecessary but still valid, and is left for whoever next edits that line.
Verification:
ninja -C build parse # both environment.cpp sites gone
ninja -C build -k 0 # Release, four applications, green
ninja -C build-debug -k 0 # Debug, four applications, green

(those issues can occur due to the combination of old game and modern OS/hardware, cnc-ddraw helps to avoid those)
Visual Studio setup
- Run
Visual Studio 2019or newer. - Clone and open the location with the source code using one of these two options:
- Click
Clone a repository- Enter
git@github.com:1dot13/source.gitorhttps://github.com/1dot13/source.gitin the Repository location field, select the path you want to clone the repository to and clickClone. - Double-click on
Folder Viewin theSolution Explorer
- Enter
- Click
Open a local folder- Use this option if you already cloned the repository yourself.
- Click
- Visual Studio will automatically detect the CMake configuration files and will run the CMake generation. There will bet a CMake error in the logs saying
No existing preset was found, copied a preset template to [some_path]. This is normal and only happens once. - Click on the dropdown that says
x64-Debugand selectManage configurations.... This should trigger Visual Studio to load theCMakeUserPresets.jsonfile it just copied. Now you can close the window for managing the configurations. - The
x64-Debugoption should have been replaced by1dot13 Debug. Click it and selectManage configurations...again. Here is where you configure the language for the built executables as well as which ones to build, Most important, here is where you setCMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORYto the path to your JA2 1.13 installation. This will be used for debugging. Note that the path needs to have a working 1.13 installation, and that includes the 1.13 game data. - You can use
Build -> Build Allto build the executables you selected in the configuration.
