It's a trap! It's caused by a preprocessor definition in the C++ part of your projects configuration, e.g:
fopen=dont_use_fopen; strncpy=use_Q_strncpy_instead; _snprintf=use_Q_snprintf_instead Basically it's to stop you using fopen and it throws the "dont_use_fopen" error instead. Valve do this to make you use their alternate function calls. You're choices are: 1) Find out what the Valve "equivalent" of fopen is. 2) Comment out fopen=dont_use_fopen; in your projects preprocessor defines. - Jed 2010/1/5 Klaus Müller <tloeffl...@googlemail.com>: > Hey, > > I'm currently trying to read certain information from a demo and write them > to an external file.
