Yeah, those files are all kinds of FUBAR. osiris_vector.h has source code in it and doesn't include <stdlib.h>, in which the random number generator lives. dallasfuncs.cpp doesn't include any file which would define the File_* functions, and the comment at the top of the file (\"I think there's...

Is it a linker error or a compiler error? If it's a linker error, check to make sure that if OSIRIS lives in a separate library that you've specified your linker settings accordingly. In any event, there's not much we can determine without you posting the first couple of errors generated. It would b...

B will not work because OnClientChangeSegment is a callback, not a mutator. And doing it on the client side only will cause an inconsistency between the client and server and probably lead to an assertion failure when the player next changes rooms.

The awesome thing about Excel is that in order to do even really complicated balance sheets and registers, you don't need a lick of VBA. People were tracking these things using Multi-Plan and Excel long before MS introduced VBA.
