EQBuilder 2.0

When you get SVN access setup, feel free to PM me if you have any questions about how to use it or how to do commits. It's pretty simple once you do it for the first time.

If possible, you can put what you have so far on the SVN before it is ready. Then I can help with structs and stuff. If you would rather wait until it is ready, that is fine too, but it doesn't have to be done to go on the SVN IMO. That is part of the reason for having the SVN so multiple people can work together

I have it down to 3 linker errors. Getting close I think.

Sweet! I pulled all the code out separate from the build, reorganized it and got it compiling under utils. As soon as I get it going with the current live stuff I'll put it on the svn.

Got my first pf dump tonight. So that's progress. Unfortunately, I don't have any way to read it, so I don't know if it's any good or not. So... I started working on the extractor too. I need to make a few tweeks to the collector to get rid of some errors that I'm getting but once I do that I'll post it and folks can get to collecting and hopefully by then I'll have made enough progress on the extractor to determine if it needs more tweeking...

I think Wireshark can read the .pf files, but I dunno for sure with the way that the collector uses them since I have never used any of those eq collecting tools before.

I have had some luck tonight also. It built. Won't run but it is a Zlib1.dll error and easily overcome I think. Also got it moved up to VS 2k3, so it has been an exciting couple of days for the collector.

Zlib1.dll is an easy one.

1. Go to http://www.zlib.net/ and download the "compiled zlib dll"

2. Extract it somewhere useful. I just stuck it in C:\Program Files\zlib, but if you have a dedicated place for coding libs and dlls and such, that would be better.

3. Add the appropriate paths (include, lib, etc.) to your IDE C++ directories settings.

4. In the Project Properties under Linker -> Input, add the additional dependency zlib.lib

Depending on your system config, you may need to add "libcmt.lib" as an "Ignore specific library" setting, since it's a multi-thread library and can conflict with zlib's single-threaded nature.

I think that's all there was to get zlib-based projects to work on my machine.

This is really good to hear, as I think it'll be easier to get a lot of people collecting if we can get a windows compile.

I never thought of that. I'll give it a try this evening. I mostly got the extractor up to date with the collector though. Still much to do, but it's coming along.
