Compiling MercsAndBots - eqlauncher.exe missing?

[Fippy]

When compiling the MercsAndBots server solution file from the branches/MercsAndBots-directory it generates all binaries aside from eqlaunch.exe.

I'm using TortoiseVSN, and all the files are current.

My VC++ 2008 Express edition is set up to use the x86 perl, MySQL and zlib includes and libraries. The standard, current non-branched solution in the trunk/-directory builds and runs just fine.

Before compiling, I'm cleaning up the solution, and the build config is set to ReleaseBots with checkmarks on all the 5 solutions. This is what it looks like:

EMuShareMem - Release - Win32 - Build (Y)
eqlaunch - Release - Win32 - Build (Y)
queryserv - Release - Win32 - Build (Y)
ucs - Release - Win32 - Build (Y)
World - ReleaseBots - Win32 - Build (Y)
Zone - ReleaseBots - Win32 - Build (Y)

I've been searching and browsing but can't see anyone else mentioning this. I've tried using the eqlaunch.exe from the non-bot-release but when launching it I'm getting the following error:

[Debug] [LAUNCHER__NET] Invalid size of LauncherZoneRequest: 18

Thanks for reading - any help would be greatly appreciated.

All you are doing is compiling a year old source that has like 3 changes in it. You won't be playing with mercs, ignore it.

Is there any way of enabling bots with the latest build?

Yes, you build the ReleaseBots configuration and source in the bot related database files. Whatever guide you're following should have all of this information in it, and if not, look at a different guide.
