BSWAL

[Panagiotis Peikidis]

I've been busting my head to find out how to use BWSAL with JBridge...
I just can't figure it out.. I'm not that good in C++.. The best I
could do is compile the latest JBridge from the repo... But I can't
seem to get BSWAL working...

What do I need?

Compiling JBrigde doesn't seem to have BWSAL in.. I found the
directory that BWSAL exists but there is no solution file to build.. I
downloaded the latest BWSAL, found the solution file, but have no idea
what to do... Compiling with create an AIModule.dll but if I use this,
the JBridge won't work...

What I'm trying to do is to simply use
BuildingPlacer.getBuildLocationNear... Whenever I call this method a
NullPointerException is thrown:

java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat

How do I make this work?

I really need this.. Please.

Thank you.

There are many issues w/ BWSAL translation (it's a little old). I apologize, but my job has really been pushing me so I can't update like I want to. Once I make the next update, I will be looking for others to assist with this project or take over as lead.

I only want BuildingPlacer to work... Nothing else... Is it possible?

I'm game to pitch in, probably not as lead, but I'd like to contribute
bug fixes and keep things tracking the C++ API.

I have added you as a committer. I welcome the assistance.
Unfortunately, I wasn't even able to get this to where I wanted it
with test cases and what not. I am more than happy to help with
anything confusing, but I may not get much time on the code. If you
don't mind, use the checkstyle plugin in Eclipse. When enabling it for
the project, just use the /lib/.checkstyleSettings as the checkstyle
config file. If you don't have enough permissions on this project for
anything, let me know and I'll add you as a co-owner

Thanks again...

Thanks! I'm swamped for another couple of weeks myself, but then I
should be around more.
