I don't trust these changed headers. As for the example with the trace class: working with a class that relies on that changed class leads to a dll error while in use... the engine and core headers shouldn't be modified, instead creating a subclass with extended functionality is the way to go. Also I think it's illegal since the change of these headers and recompiling leads to new custom core.dll and engine.dll files. If not I would have raped the original public headers to death for my SDK since ages... instead of coding own engine and core files.

Ok i will stick to the stock 1's, i dont want errors .

Yes, staying with the official public headers is the best to ensure proper functionality. Other than that I don't see any point why someone should use these SDKs, really. These SDKs are only a compilation of class definition headers of the engine packages (engine, core, d3d driver etc). It also seems that Temp2 hacked the original DLL files of several UEngine games in a way of reverse engineering to get the headers of games where no public headers are available (UT2004).

The official headers don't garantuee compatibility at all. I've run into lots of differences between v436, v440 and v451 (especially in the netdrivers).

You don't have to hack anything to get headers for games that have to public SDK by the way. Especially in the case of UEngine 2 (which is usually dynamically linked), a lot of information can be derived by statically analyzing the dlls (and upackages). You can get the class names and function names from the dll export tables, vtable layouts from the relocation sections, class member layouts from both GObjObjects (and partially from native classes inside UPackages) and then there's some non-UObject classes that are tricky to extract from the dlls but that have hardly changed since UE1. All in all, you can get nearly fully accurate headers by a bit of static analysis and some recycling of UE1 code (which is exactly what the owner of the site that was linked to did).

[Shadow]

Of course they don't garantuee anything, but on my opinion I trust them more than some changed ones. Also the public source is Build 432, is common that one runs into trouble between build versions with it in some cases.

i have spent alot off time trying to get vc++2010 to work and it keeps failing. i don't know if i have missed somethink or made a type-o. But i would post the error just incase 1 of u have seen it before. (doing hazard tut)

Those errors seem very, very familiar. It's all because the headers were made specifically for Visual Studio 2005, so there are a lot of random incompatibility issues with modern ones.

I think there were modified headers somewhere to be compatible with Visual Studio 2008 (and apparently also with 2010, which I am using, too). As far as I remember, in another thread, anth gave me this link when I asked for them.

[UT Sniper (SJA94)]

even with the headers above im still getting the same error, am i doing somethink wrong or should i get an older visual studio?

the reason for the long delay, im making a text editor program, to improve my c++ skills.

[UT Sniper (SJA94)]

Came across these UDN documents from epic games. There is 2 on native coding and more for coding . http://utdatabase.99k.org/files/ut99/do ... es.com.zip

And also many other tutorials mapping, coding, skinning, audio, video, running servers ect.
http://utdatabase.99k.org/docs.html

[anth]

Those UDN docs on native coding were copy pasted from the guy who wrote the Hazard tutorial (i.e. the tutorial you've already seen).
