Knockout Framework for Fallout 4 NG

[shelmina]

So reading up on the poist on Nexus, it appears the author of this mod has moved on.  I do not have a ton of modding experience, but I have done a patch or two here and there.  I am also a software engineer, but my focus is more embedded.  I saw that the code for the Knockout Framework plug-in was available on Github, so I decided to try and see if I could at least compile it for myself.

 

So, I pulled the code down, and retargeted everything to VS2019, because that is what I have available. 

Here is what I have done so far.

1. I pulled in common, f4se_common, and f4se from the various F4SE archives for the NG version. 

2. Retargeted everything to VS2019, because I cannot get my hands on the v110 tools, so I cannot compile without retargeting.

3. Compiled common, f4se_common, and f4se with some minor edits(I was getting missing references if I did not add includes).

4. Compiled Relocation from Knockout Framework.

 

Here is where everything goes off the rails.  Knockout Framework has its own version of Relocation.  When I try to compile main.cpp as is, it is complaining about several missing definitions.  These definitions are in the Relocation project.  If I add an include to those missing references, I get errors relating to there being two conflicting definitions of Relocation.  So this is officially beyond my knowledge, so I was hoping someone with more experience with compiling DLLs for SKSE/F4SE could point me in the right direction.  For anyone curious, the link to the Github repository is on the mainpage for the Knockout Framework mode here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/27086

Based on the number of times I had to add includes to get things to compile, it seems like older version of Visual Studio had a way to include references from projects without the need to explicitly include a particular header file.  I am not sure how to fix this in VS2019 or is there a setting in the project I need to turn on?
