So can anyone help out here? I'd really like the bind feature for my players to work. I seriously like trying to do things myself first, but I think I've hit a wall with this one. :(

What compiler are you using?

Aramid: Everything listed here. The one listed in the wikki under "Building With Visual Studio 2005 Express".

LostZaphod: I read that topic as I stated in my first paragraph.

I'll take a whack at it again in a bit.

I had problems with Express as well. I use PRO now....

Thanks, Aramid. I'll start downloading the Pro trial (2.6 gigs!), lol.

Wait, on the wikki, it states that if you build with Visual Pro that it crashes when you hail an NPC. Should I worry?

You may have just hit on something Vales. If the text is very long in a quest, I have had problems where it CTD'd me. When I redid the quest with shorter lines of text, it works fine. Didn't remove any text, just did multiple quest::say lines.

Hmmmm.

Aramid: Hehe, sweet! Funny how that happens.


Anyway, I successfully compiled and executed the sample application. Woot!

Thank god I didn't have to download another 2.6 gigs for it, either. I looked through the Pro walkthrough, and noticed I didn't correctly set the libraries. D'oh! I'm gonna compile the zone.exe and see if it works. I'll post back if I succeed. *crosses fingers*

Vales: the problem also occurs if you use VS Express as well..... See this post.
