Writing plugin got compiler errors and don't know why [SOLVED]
« on: December 04, 2013, 11:31:07 am »

Hello I look for a tool which monitors the current Items in stock.
If this does not exist I'm looking for the necessary pointers to them.
I'm able to write C++ and C# code so I would write the tool my self.

If someone could give me some tips or got what I'm looking for please let me know.

Thank you

#EDIT: Solved Thank you for your help! The Stockpile Stalker plugin is in development :)
#EDIT2: Since I did not like to open a new Post I'm recycling this one. I got wiered compiler errors because of inheritance and my VS is not recognising classes. Please take a look at my last post. To find the compile errors.
#EDIT3: Nvm. it compiles now. I just did rip out most of it.

C++? You're in luck.

What exactly are you looking for in monitoring them?

I believe the name for the vector for every item in DFHack is df::global::world->items.all

Thanks for the link and vector.
Now I have to find out how to use DFHack as library for an 3rd party tool.
Do you know if I have to do some special stuff to get it to work or if I can use it like any other library?

I like to create a simple program with a window in which it shows all the goods you currently have in your Stockpiles because I'm too lazy to always press Z and search through the menu.

Cheers

Pretty sure you'll have to make it a plugin, but I'm also pretty sure you can still open separate windows through plugins (E.G stonesense)

Thank you :), I've just started working on the plugin.
It could take some time till I got something to show since I have to learn first how to use it properly.
But I'm currently dumping the whole vector to the console this is a good sign :).

This thread is solved.

I get some serious compiling errors. Because of inheritance and the compiler don't recognizes my classes.
Can please someone take a look, it's driving me nuts.

Removing SOLVED from the thread title may be good to find help. Also I would suggest asking in DFHack thread or PMing active plugin developers, I don't think average modders can help you with coding.
