I know a bit of C language, but i haven´t write anything yet. After several times trying to play the game (1.5 patched) and tired of bugs and emptiness of which could had be a great game, i have started to play with the code in the "programs" directory and i´ve decided to write some functions from scratch. Well, i´ll try it, but:

Can anybody with programming knowledge tell me which type of C is this? I mean, the game will work with any standard libraries?
Or even better, can recommend me any C editor to work with the game and learn at the same time? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

The code you see in AoP isn't really a C programing language. The language which both PotC and AoP use is special script which has some features of C/C++. Basically, the syntax is greatly similar, but some features are unavailable or handled differently. Of course, that means that using standard C or C++ libraries or creating of some own libraries is impossible - every script (*.c file) is compiled by engine.exe whenever the game is started.

Personally I use PS Pad, but you can use any text editor you prefer. You can learn the syntax and script differences from standard C++ by studying source code available in PROGRAM directory.

By the way, seeing your signature, i´m trying the PotC Build too, but i am lost with so many mods, have to read the readmes several times. That is an incredible mod. One to never be bored again.
