Eqemu 1887

Is it possible and feasible to release a newer version. The bot dyes and bot pull amoung many features are outstanding. If its a major effort feel free to not do it. Thanks for your help and time.

Your best bet would be to compile yourself. This post at the link gives easy step by step instructions on how to do so.

I need to go buy Microsoft VB and C+ then. Will do.

VS 2008 express works, i believe.

if you follow the instructions in the most recent Sticky How-To, I promise you will get a compiling build for free.

I don't speak c++ and rather hate the language (I'm a c# guy); but I was able to get the code to compile without altering a single line of code once I followed the instructions correctly. (The one place I had been failing was that I didn't believe them about MySQL 32 vs 64 bit....the code is designed to use the 32bit libraries. You'd have to do real work to get the 64 working.)

The one thing I didn't get working last night was getting my server to show up in the public list. Not sure if that's just a router issue or some other configuration =/

Either way, don't get discouraged Oh...I lied...sorry, because Perl is now updated to 5.12, I did two things different based on the entire thread:
1) I installed Perl 5.12 (since I could not get 5.10 from the active perl site)
2) I changed two files to include perl512.h that had previously included perl510.h

otherwise, everything else was the same.

I will try and compile one this weekend. If I am not successful is there going to be another one posted sometime in the not too distant future? Thanks for all the help, the links look very informative.
