Finished most of the visuals, this will be a .dll release, simpler than the Westcott upgrade. It will link into Dan Steph's UCGO for some base activity and C++ practice...

Good location and looks great! Waiting for the release :thumbup:

Why launchpads are covered? :blink:

 

[Notebook]

Many thanks, the covered launchpads are just for my mesh practice...Also trying to give a "tropical island" feel to the base. There will be a beech-bar and a few pedaloes in the surf. Maybe some palm trees...

Like a lot of folk, modifying the ShuttlePB as a starting point for my own project. Followed the OrbiterWiki article and lots of threads here, and its nearly there.

When the ShuttlePB was compiling ok, made another project with a more relevant name and changed all the references to ShuttlePB, then moved everything to my working directory. Didn't think I'd get away with that, and I haven't...

However, after a bit of work on the properties page, it seems to be behaving correctly.

Just two thing need tidying up before I go any further

1) Where, and how, do I stop these files appearing in Orbiter/Modules directory?
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k207/Notebook_04/GanVCC_2_.jpg

Thats all the "Gan_Hangar_1" files except the .dll of course.

2) I still have two ShuttlePB named files here:
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k207/Notebook_04/GanVCC_1_.jpg

I can't find any ShuttlePB names in the Project Properties page, so I don't know why they keep appearing.
I made the Gan_Hangar_Project from the working ShuttlePB project using "Project from existing code" item in the "File->New" menu.

All help appreciated

If you don't use inherited property sheets from Orbiter 2010, then in the "Configuration Properties -> General" set "Output Directory" and "Intermediate Directory" to "$(ProjectDir)$(ConfigurationName)", and in "Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General" set "Output File" to the "<your relative path to Orbiter directory>\Modules\$(ProjectName).dll". If you use the Orbiter 2010 property sheets, then reset options to project defaults/inherit from parent project, and everything should be set automatically for your project.

I can't find any ShuttlePB names in the Project Properties page, so I don't know why they keep appearing.

If you can't find it in the Project Properties, close the Visual Studio, and open the project file with Notepad, find and replace all occurrences of ShuttlePB with either your project's name or with $(ProjectName).

Thank you Orb, shall read and digest!

Re. the second problem with the two ShuttlePB files, I hadn't renamed the .cpp file! Shows my attention to detail...thats fixed now. Just the first problem to solve, what fun.

Nice work, N. We can never have too many island bases! Good luck with this.

 

[Notebook]

Thanks WHAP, looks like I'll need it!
My laptop has just started to behave strangely, won't run Paintshop Pro 9. It appears as a process in the task-manager, just dosen't appear on the Desktop? My Compter won't run either, or IE.
Outlook Express runs ok though!!
Suspicous this has started just as I've fired up Visual C++ Express 2008, and started making .dll's...Must have done something.

I'm on the road for a week now, so that machine can cool off while I'm away, marvellous!

Usual cop-out I'm afraid, can't figure out c++ versus anything else. So best thing is just to release this as a straight forward simple base.
It may look a bit odd, with the overhanging bits...but I might get around to the palm-trees next time.
Good news is Westcott upgrade is going along nicely, sort of.

Should be out Tuesday.
