just in fight.c alone

polymorph.c has a ton of errors, special.c has lots of warnings, and tables.c has over 500 warnings....whats going on?

Well, there are a few things here...

For one, SMAUG code is quite messy in that it does not follow the strict ANSI C guidelines. It does its casts quite messily, and that's why you're getting all those warnings and maybe even errors.

For instance, I recently ported a MUD from C to C++, and it compiled fine under C and generated about 400 errors under C++, due to a stricter compiler. It's quite possible that MSVC++ is using a stricter version of the language standards (which actually is a good thing, since it helps avoid mistakes.)

The other thing you may want to look at is that it might not be figuring out that you're compiling in C, not C++, so it may be seeing C++ keywords (e.g. class, new, etc.) and getting confused. It's enough to just change class to Class, or something to that effect.

Sounds like it is missing a definition. Fix the first error and the others may go away.

Could you post 20ish lines of your fight.c file starting at line 3770. What it sounds like you have is a missing ; at the end of a line or function at line 3780 but the fact that the error registers at 3781 doesn't quite guarantee the error is at the line directly preceeding.
