Question

I’m trying to make a Q3BSP map information debugger.

I’m stuck at texture debugger part, this is the code used in that part:

for( i = 0; i < nTextures; i++ ) {
    printf( "Texture id %d\n", i );
    printf( "\tTexture name %s\n", Texture[i].name );
    printf( "\tTexture flags %d\n", Texture[i].flags );
    printf( "\tTexture contents %d\n", Texture[i].contents );
}

But this kind error appears to show up:

error C2676: binary ‘[‘ : ‘Q3BSPTexture’ does not define this operator or a conversion to a type acceptable to the predefined operator

Here is the Q3BSPTexture structure:

typedef struct {
    char        name[64];      // Texture name. 
    int         flags;         // Surface flags.
    int         contents;      // Surface contents
} Q3BSPTexture;

I’m suspecting that the structure hasn’t the limit setted like char [32]

But I like to hear solution from professionals!

Answer 1

You haven’t shown us the definition of Texture.

You’re treating Texture as an array of Q2BSPTeztures. Apparently it’s a single Q2BSPTezture object, so indexing it doesn’t make sense. You probably just need to declare it as an array, or perhaps as a pointer to the first element of an array that you the need to allocate.

Also, the error message implies that you’re compiling C++, not C (in C it wouldn’t be possible for the type to define any operators).
