compiling in VS Express 2008

[csteinhoff]

Has anyone tried compiling the Orange Box code under Visual Studio 2008 express? I am new to Half Life 2 but not to coding but it seems that the compiler dies when I try to compile the client

1>d:\mymod\src\game\client\c_vguiscreen.cpp(348) : fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
1>(compiler file 'f:\dd\vctools\compiler\utc\src\p2\main.c[0x6C0C1F4C:0x00000008]', line 182)

I just had this issue while setting up a MOD project in VS2008.

Go to line 348:

Replace

dist = c_x / tan( M_PI * scaled_fov / 360.0 );

With

// Aqualung - Compile error fix - 2/21
float conv = (M_PI * scaled_fov)/360.0;
dist = c_x / tan( conv );
