Enable Bot source for compiling

[John Adams]

I am not sure it is as easy as you say, Congdar I am still searching around, but Release compiles fine - soon as I do ReleaseBots (VS2005) Zone linking fails:

1>Linking...
1>npc.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall Mob::PET_Process(void)" (?PET_Process@Mob@@QAEXXZ) referenced in function "public: virtual bool __thiscall NPC::Process(void)" (?Process@NPC@@UAE_NXZ)
1>.\../Build/Zone.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

This was after cleaning and rebuilding the entire project. 4 of 5 succeeded. I am never too sure what these linker errors really mean. Any hints?

The source has been updated to vs2008, i don't think vs2005 works anymore. I did find a problem with releasebots though. For some reason the bot pet classes cannot buff thier pets. So I stick with debugbots.

Err, that's kind of a generalization to think everyone in the world updates to 2008 just because you have, hah. Don't you think supporting multiple SLNs would be more appropriate? I don't need VS2008 for my work (yet) so I hadn't planned on filling my drive with yet another version of something...

That aside, everything else seems to compile using the 7.1 sln, just this one linker error is all I am getting.

it wasn't my change. i had to update from vs2005 too. the change was in r272.

I use vs 2k5 and i merely had to add a few files to the 7.1 sln petai npcai and the SOF client patch files it compiles fine for me under 2k5 also to change back to perl58.lib is very simple just takes a couple minor tweaks to compile with vs 2k5 i dont like that the eqlaunch file now requires .net 3.5 that is just bad coding practices

Huh? eqlaunch is written in C/C++, no part of it is written in C#. How in the world can it require any version of .NET?

then how come we at classiceq.org have had to install 3.net 3.5 on every single box we run a server on in order to have eqlaunch.exe run? trust me it requires it
