Working on 0.8.0 compatibility

Have any admins had a chance to think about how to handle the code? Public or private?

Assuming that this gets posted publicly, I can just post a link to a ZIP file for starters, but a public SVN makes the most sense in the long run. That's not something I know how to handle (or care to).

I talked with KLS about making a client after we talked about this in PMs.

I believe we'd be fine with it, as said previously in this thread, anything SC can be modified to do, MQ2 can already do.

I would go ahead and post a zip, I can also get an SVN repository for you set up if you'd like. (and for anyone else who wants to develop on it.)

I don't think security is a concern for the EQEmu dev team at this time, at least that's what KLS thinks.

That's excellent news, WC

As a backup, I'll host the source here on this forum site where the server resides. It will therefore always be available for people.

ok i dont know delphi but i have look at it and it seems nice by comparison to certain language (c++). but do you need a verison that support enterprise edition? also i think delphi support .net in some form. do you need enterprise for that?

basically, can i use a free delphi 6 to do everything, including .net? the think with .net is that i can use other language too (in theory anyway).
