Some thing is missing O.o
 

so i setup my C++ IDE and open up the eqemu project and low and behold guess whats seems to be missing, EQextractor and pf2text are just not there.

You can add them, but there is no point really. Without a current packet collector, they are useless anyway. You only need world, zone, eqlaunch, and the library to run EQEmu. The rest are misc tools, many of which are no longer current and thus useless.

i followed the c++ IDE setup wiki but when i try to build it theres so many errors not sure whats up with it.

Well, what errors are you getting? ;)

well leme try compiling it again ill post the few 1000 errors XD lol.

Just a few unique ones will be fine. Often, all the errors are caused by only one or two problems.

I had this same problem. You need to do a search in the code where it defines _vsnprintf and comment/remove those lines. It is in 4 places, but I can't recall where exactly off the top of my head. A lot of the other stuff are warnings and can be safely ignored.

Or you can move to Linux anyway like I did. :D

You're using the standard includes and libraries included with VS Studio. It's much better to use the ones included with Microsoft's SDK. I'm using this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en (it'll work for any Windows OS) Install it, and be sure to add the SDK's bin, includes, and lib directories to the appropriate sections under VCC Directories. (The same place you added the perl, mysql, and zlib directories)

i am useing Microsoft's SDK thow O.o as the guide told me to.

Not according to your log. The compiler is using the built in libraries and includes. Make sure the SDK is at the top of the lists, so it is used first.

they are im not sure what the problem is. im running vista and useing C++ 2008 i followed this guide setting it up http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...a=DevVSExpress.

Well if you look at your log, your compiler is looking in c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\, when it should be looking in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\include. Are you sure the SDK is at the top of the lists? That implies that it isn't.

im useing Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2 and it is on the top of the list.

ya i think i found the problem useing wrong SDK.
