Enable Bot source for compiling

[Congdar]

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

This don't sound right to me, sounds like eqlaunch.exe is something that was made by a few people to make life easier for you (requires net version) . You're talking about something totally unrelated to the source code.
You can probably just place a shortcut on your desktop to "eqgame.exe" patchme , and that would also hook you up with any server on any LS, so long as you provide the proper data in eqhost.txt.
The net 2x, 3x are a free download of MS, no strings attached, most people have it already.

eqlaunch.exe is part of the server eg eqlaunc zone to launch the launcher zones dunno what your talkin about lol

eqlaunch compiles and runs natively on Linux without mono installed. Therefore, it cannot require .NET :P I think you might mean the SDK w/.NET. It isn't .NET it needs, but rather the SDK. Though, and I'm not trying to tell you how to run your server but you really ought to run Linux instead of Windows. It really is far more stable.
