SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

I have been trying to build and use this mod, but it fails to build::

The only other 3rd party mod are: "bah.registry" and "bah.speech"

Here's the end snippet of the output log showing where it breaks:

I only use (and only intend to use) WIN32 platform, x64 architecture - so try to build with these options - might that be the reason for the failure?

If it turns out this mod is incompatible with x64 -  then at least I know, otherwise,. is there anything that can be done?

i know how aggravating and disappointing that can be, i've had my fare share of luck. if only i had the skill to actually get modules i want working since most of the work had been done already.

now maxgui and openb3d isnt compatible with what linux is now using wayland and people are dissing linux as a viable and better alternative than windows that some people actually use as a better platform.

i use and like both but i'm a hardcore linux fanboy when it comes to development and performance and efficiency and open source and systems.

i dont understand the compiler errors, is that in verbose mode? i recommend turning it off and sharing the actual compile error output.

also, isnt freeimage a mod included outside of the unsupported bah modules, a separate and updated repository? i'm thinking of image.mod. @_PJ_

Thanks for the reply, William.

Yeah, the debuglog was in Verbose mode - Here's the "normal" version  ::

its not outputting the actual error but i'm of no help anyway. sometimes i can hack/fix one but then another error and then it may break things anyway.

i can try freeimage on my end. i might get to get if i have spare time. best wishes edit: btw i only know basic programming.

okay definitely outside my skillset i tried compiling it. but i checked and image.mod is the equivalent do you need to save image files or something, why freeimage instead of image.mod. i don't know whether image.mod allows saving image files to the different formats.

I was needing something to both load and save DDS format - even if I write an exporter (based on the info here: https://nwn.wiki/display/NWN1/DDS )
I still need to be able to check they can load in again.

As this is for a tool for use by others in  a community, I have no control over the source files loaded in, - but at least I only have to worry about writing DTX1,3, or 5 versions
