OpenEQ compiling

Daeken, I think your project looks very nice so far. I downloaded the tarball at http://home.archshadow.com/~daeken/openeq.tar.bz2

I have a couple questions. Will you be providing VisualC++6/7 project files? How about MinGW, or XCode (Mac OS X)? I'm curious how cross-platform it really is.
So far it isn't compiling for me in MinGW (don't want to try cygwin, because of the dll thing). I haven't yet tried compiling it on my G5 Mac.

Anyway, good luck, and thanks for the effort.

I found it necessary to edit the makefile slightly as references to libs were incorrect for windows. In particular,

LINKOPTS=-lz -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lSDL -LSDL

But that wasn't enough to get it to compile.

Code:

$ make

g++  -g  src/pfs.o src/ter.o src/draw.o src/ddslib.o src/move.o src/matrix.o src/zon.o src/file.o src/octree.o src/frustum.o src/main.o -lz -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lSDL -LSDL  -o openeq

src/pfs.o(.text+0x252): In function `ZN9PFSLoader4OpenEP6_iobuf':

/openeq/src/pfs.cpp:74: undefined reference to `ntohl'

c:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/3.2.3/../../../libmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x97):main.c: undefined reference to `WinMain@16'

make: *** [openeq] Error 1

By the way, I have noticed I posted this out of the support area by mistake, feel free to transfer the topic to where it is allowed. I apologise for the oversight.

I created VC++ 6 workspaces for the win32 version...

You can try them.

Thanks for the help. I downloaded your windows files and it builds. Unfortunately it crashes at launch, so I guess there is still work to be done to get it to run in Windows XP sp2?

After I typed that I looked again and it seems I could be missing a standard lib. The VC6 debugger accuses FREAD.c
I'll look into it.

By the way, it might be a good idea to sticky instructions for people who want to compile under windows, as I suspect there will be quite a few.

If this is still the crappy "port" I did then it's hardcoded to load a particular zone file. Anguish.eqg I think from the working directory of the program. It may well crash if that file isn't there.

MOG	12-17-2004 05:08 AM

Unfortunately I cannot find that file, only anguish.txt

Changing the txt to eqg didn't help, either.

jbb	12-17-2004 06:26 AM

Anguish.eqg is the zone file for one of the Omens of War zones. You'll need that expansion in order to have the file. The openeq as available so far only renders omens of war zones (because they have a different file format to the old zones)

MOG	12-17-2004 10:31 AM

Interesting. I bought EverQuest evolution a few months back and it had a lot of expansions. But not that one.

Is that expansion downloadable through the patcher somehow?

MOG

http://home.archshadow.com/~daeken/patch.html has all of the patcher files there (linked to the patch server, of course) so you can get anguish.eqg.gz from there, then gunzip it (or use winamp)

Winamp? The MP3 Player!?

Erm, winzip... die :P

Thanks. This worked fine. I was able to load the zone and move around it with mouse and arrow keys. It gave me a better understanding of where OpenEQ is at right now. There is no gravity, no animation and no collision. So right now it is strictly a zone viewer but very interesting. What will be added next? Lights?
It might be a good idea to add some basic bounding boxes so you can move around a zone without going through walls.

I like the project, so far it looks competently made.

That seems to be the way to go to me.
Having empty zones you could walk around in and at least render the other players as a red cube and let you chat to them would be a good milestone that would show nice progress to people too
