Compiling Fallout 2 Modding Utilities?

SudoX

First time out of the vault
Hey everyone, I am new here but I have been playing fallout 1-3 for about a year now :). I am a novice programmer in C/C++ but this is all besides the point :). I have the sourced code for several modding utilities such as ModRunner2, of course there is no VC project to compile the scripts (lol) so I used my project builder from existing code... ability in Microsoft Visual Studios 2008 Professional. Anyways the problem comes in the fact that when I go to compile the program it reports it is missing the required header files (.hpp). The thing is these are in fact missing from the source code I downloaded.

My question is where can I obtain these files or am I just going about this the wrong way :). Any help would be great!

Here are some examples:
vcl.h
FileCtrl.hpp
classes.hpp
Classes.hpp
utilites.h

Welcome SudoX,

I have no idea what you are doing or where to find those missing files, but I do know a little about finding information when needed. :)

There is a lot of Fallout file format documentation at Vault-Tec Labs. Kanhef and others have been busy examining things with hex editors and reverse-engineering as much about the game engine as possible, so you may find something there.

If you speak Russian, try the TeamX website for even more extensive documentation.

Both sites are linked in my sig below.
 
vcl.h and *.hpp are headers from Borland C++ Builder. They will not work in Microsoft Visual Studio.
 
Thank you for the tip, I am downloading Borland C++ Builder now.
Morticia thank you for the tips as well, I am interested in helping to mod Fallout and the reverse engineering of it as well. I only wish I knew Russian, let me say that I won't say my age but I am not very old and I can't get professional access to classes for learning the language, I am currently attempting to learn it to the best of my ability over the Internet. I am very fond of Russian and I am very interested in learning how to speak it if anyone knows where I should go for this :).
