Hi, I essentially taught myself how to compile this game today in the interest of modding and encountered a problem using minGW for the latest source version (downloaded today from this website).

I downloaded the source version and am compiling an untouched version of it, is this related to the compiler or something else? The only way I found to fix it is the non-desireable option of flat-out deleting the line.
(Blacked out my computer name, doesn’t need to openly be on the internet, that’s why there are black gaps).

Thanks, google and the search function didn’t come up with that little solution there.
… Should I be worried my catacurse.h is about 700 lines shorter?
I should not, I should learn to distinguish between .h and .cpp though
