ultimate:

The Errors are caused of the npctype files.
Simply delete them of the solution (not only delete em).
There are also sum faults in attack.cpp (i think it is it) and im going to fix it soon...

had problems with VS.NET

I want to thank you for your time in creating this walkthrough.

I had a problem using VS.NET however

First it doesn't work with Netscape and I HATE IE.

I created an account and filled in all the options exactly as you said to do.

I got my email and clicked the link included in the email to login.

After waiting about 5 minutes my screen refreshed to show me my server picture.

I clicked on the "click here to access your server" link and a new window opened to a black screen.

Seconds later I got the Active X warning popup for which I clicked the YES option.

I then got to a second login window in which my user name was already in place and all I had to do was type in my password.

Typing in my password created a bunch of black dots to mask the input and no matter what I typed in it would not accept my password. I know about it being case sensitive and had my firewall shutoff. Not sure why, it may be Windows 98 which I use on this pc. I gave up after 2 hours and creating 3 seperate accounts for VS.NET to no avail.

I then downloaded a free C++ compiler called "Dev-C++"

http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html

I tried to "guess" my way through it. I did manage to compile something that included 147 errors. That did me no good.

Could anyone recommend a free download of a C++ compiler that would be able to create the files needed? Or Anyone out there familiar with Dev-C++ that could help me out?

Thanks in Advance,

Farmer Ted

I'm getting a Solution File 'C:\desktop\eq emu dr4\server.sln' cannot be converted because it is read only on disk

what do i do lol

so um... how long is this trial good for?

It said I have 3 hours to login, does that mean it will expire in three hours?

Drag

What do you need to edit? this is a bit off topic but I like VC++6 better than this VC 2005 BETA1 crap.

Thanks Maximo, for this great guide.

GREAT

I put my zlip folder into the C:/program files/microsoft visual studio 8/vc or whatever.

I am doin it on my own dev pc.
