Oh, btw, I when I try to run world.exe with the new EMuShareMem.dll, (or whatever its called), world.exe has error #127 and dies

Not sure what to do about that, but looking into that as well

Okay, Hmmmmm. Not sure about the world thing. Probably some config file is needed or something.

Went to compile zone.exe again, this time tried it with the perl configuration (added c:\perl\lib\core include directories and the EMBPERL,EMBPERL_PLUGIN preprocessors) and I started getting the winsock2.h errors (all 423 of them lmao). Is that perl configuration obsololete now or something? The build worked fine when I did it without that config ...well...except for the unresolved externals.

I get all sorts of bizzare errors when I try to compile with perl, and yes, perl is installed. So I stopped with perl, and went with the release instead, still got unresolved errors though

Dude, I think I got it. I'll edit this post if it works and tell you how it's done.


EDIT: I GOT IT! :D Here's how its done.

Empty out the Zone project folders in the solution explorer, including the common source and header folders. Then go in and add existing items, ALL files in the zone folder, .cpp and .h and then add all .cpp and .h from the common folder into your common source and header folders. (do all this thru the solution explorer) Once you do that, remove the following files from the Source folder (solution explorer) - Quest.cpp, dbmemshare.cpp, unix.cpp, Wesquests.cpp, tasks.cpp. Once you do that, with release configuration it will compile with 0 errors or warnings. :-D I may have forgot a file but if I did, it will tell you in the build window, whatever file causes an error just remove it. Very glad to have gotten this to work. :-D

Okay, got everything up and running with one problem ...the opcode error thing you posted above. Anyone have a solution on how to get past that? Please post. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help, got zone to compile, now to work on the world error

*EDIT* - Ran zone, and it also died from lack of opcodes but this is zone.exe's output:

Is there a file we don't know about?

Hmm... I should just stop posting... Found the file in the utils dir

This is a nightmare heh

More like a giant puzzle, but you don't have all of the pieces, or a few fell under the couch :D

Has anyone got zone w/perl compiled yet?

Will compiling the newest stuff screw up my Minilogin account. I mean if I want to keep up with all of you will compiling mess me up?

People have gotten it compiled. I'm only a few steps away from having a successful compile myself. Not sure how they did it, but I know that in Visual Studio, if you have all your include directories right and then you drop EQNetwork.cpp, it only gives winsock2.h errors. Working on fixing that now.

I have not yet been able to figure out the winsock2 errors in visual studio.
