modifying .uc files

[gjq]

Hi,

I am a newbie trying to modify .uc files (and creating a new one) from a previously compiled game. Here is a walk-through of what I have tried.

When I recompile ("ucc make" in a console in the "System" folder), I see that sometimes the changes I make are taken into account, but not always. So I manually deleted all .u files and recompile.

I get the following slew of warnings/errors:
1. A whole bunch of .h files needed to be updated (they didn't exist):

The file '..\<class>\Inc\<class>.h' needs to be updated. Do you want to overwrite the existing version? (Y/N): Y

I didn't have the folder "Inc" in any of these classes (Editor, Engine, UnrealEd etc.), and saying "Y" to overwrite/force overwrite does nothing. I get past this error when I simply create an "Inc" subfolder in every class folder it complains about.

2. For a new .uc I created, I get this after my class is released:

Analyzing...
Script vs. class name mismatch (EyeLinkTCP/.)
Parsing .
D:\EyeLink_UE2\0TEST_MRT_GridCell_Task_EyeTrack\HH_Oestrogen\Neuro2\Classes\..uc(9) : Error, Class must be named ., not EyeLinkTCP
Compile aborted due to errors.
Success - 0 error(s), 171 warning(s)

even though my .uc file has the same name as the class. Why is the class name recognized as only a "."?? I see that if I do NOT delete the .u files now, but rerun

ucc make

without doing anything else, I get the following message instead (so I have to recompile twice??):

Analyzing...
Parsing EyeLinkTCP
Parsing Exp2GameInfo
Parsing Exp2Subject
Parsing Exp2Spawner
Parsing Exp2Controller
Parsing Exp2HUD
Parsing Exp2Beeper
Parsing Exp2Cue
Parsing Exp2Landmark
Parsing Exp2ObjSprite
Compiling EyeLinkTCP
D:\EyeLink_UE2\0TEST_MRT_GridCell_Task_EyeTrack\HH_Oestrogen\Neuro2\Classes\EyeLinkTCP.uc(61) : Error, Call to 'StringToIpAddr': bad or missing parameter 1
Compile aborted due to errors.
Success - 0 error(s), 1 warning(s)

This leads me to the next error.

3. I get a "Critical Error" window saying:

No Label

OS: Windows NT 6.2 (Build: 9200)
CPU: GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 2814 MHz with 2047MB RAM
Video: Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 (4574)

Failed to find object 'Class Neuro2.Exp2GameInfo'

History: UObject::SafeLoadError <- UObject::StaticLoadClass <- InitGameInfo <- UGameEngine::LoadMap <- LocalMapURL <- UGameEngine:rowse <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine

Although Exp2GameInfo.uc does exist in a folder called "Neuro2" (or "neuro2" -- but I checked that it doesn't seem to be case-sensitive). And I tried removing the EyeLinkTCP.uc file but still get this error.

I also, btw, am running on a machine with Intel Core i7 and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and running Windows 10 Pro (why is it showing up as Windows NT?).

4. At one stage, when I remove every bit of code that gives me a warning, I get the following Critical Error window:

No Label

OS: Windows NT 6.2 (Build: 9200)
CPU: GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 2816 MHz with 2047MB RAM
Video: Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 (4574)

General protection fault!

History: GUIController::execGetMenuFont <- UObject:rocessEvent <- (RTGUIController Transient.RTGUIController0, Function GUI.GUIController.InitializeController) <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine

I've tried moving/deleting the following files from the System folder: UE2Runtime.ini, User.ini and Default.ini -- which gets rid of the error message but then the game doesn't start either...so I guess I need to modify something here? I see that UE2Runtime.ini gets generated each time, so it's one of the other two that should lead me to the error (what?)?

I am at a loss and have trawled through the forums -- I would really appreciate any advice!! Thanks in advance for any help

For anyone having similar errors, which I find a bit opaque, I was getting these errors because I had created .uc files that were not named according to the convention in the map files, I am told (though not sure what that means). Once I renamed the new .uc files I created with the correct prefix, deleted the .u file for the custom package I was dealing with, "ucc make" didn't come up with any of the above errors.
