Enable Bot source for compiling

[Congdar]

The source has been updated to vs2008, i don't think vs2005 works anymore. I did find a problem with releasebots though. For some reason the bot pet classes cannot buff thier pets. So I stick with debugbots.

Err, that's kind of a generalization to think everyone in the world updates to 2008 just because you have, hah. Don't you think supporting multiple SLNs would be more appropriate? I don't need VS2008 for my work (yet) so I hadn't planned on filling my drive with yet another version of something...

That aside, everything else seems to compile using the 7.1 sln, just this one linker error is all I am getting.

it wasn't my change. i had to update from vs2005 too. the change was in r272.

I use vs 2k5 and i merely had to add a few files to the 7.1 sln petai npcai and the SOF client patch files it compiles fine for me under 2k5 also to change back to perl58.lib is very simple just takes a couple minor tweaks to compile with vs 2k5 i dont like that the eqlaunch file now requires .net 3.5 that is just bad coding practices

Huh? eqlaunch is written in C/C++, no part of it is written in C#. How in the world can it require any version of .NET?

then how come we at classiceq.org have had to install 3.net 3.5 on every single box we run a server on in order to have eqlaunch.exe run? trust me it requires it

This don't sound right to me, sounds like eqlaunch.exe is something that was made by a few people to make life easier for you (requires net version) . You're talking about something totally unrelated to the source code.
You can probably just place a shortcut on your desktop to "eqgame.exe" patchme , and that would also hook you up with any server on any LS, so long as you provide the proper data in eqhost.txt.
The net 2x, 3x are a free download of MS, no strings attached, most people have it already.
