Hey!

[Kreegoth]

Hello Blueboy I would have sent a PM but stupidly cannot remember or seem to figure out how to do that atm. I dont know if you remember me but i was helping work on the code for ranged attacks for bots like... I don't know 2 years ago!

I recently decided i wanted to start messing around with Wows coding after coming back from eqemu coding.

Can you send me a Private message on here if you dont mind I have a few questions about the way things have changed while i was out.

I cannot even get mangos to compile on my windows 8 running VS12 or 10....

It would be much appreciated.

Hi, It's been a while ;) I'm not sure PM is available on GitHub for free accounts.. Two ago the core guys were in a range war and it became a real pain to support all core flavours. Added to this, user interest in playerbot fell away and so we looked for new challenges.

I still monitor the repositories from time to time and fix occasional issues when they arise, but do not actively develop playerbot now. If you're interested in continuing to improve the code, you still have push/pull access to the portal repository ( I would recommend you test out fresh code in a new branch off the portal repo first.). I know "Cala" does a great job looking after the "portalclassic" code.

I must admit that hate windows 8 and I dread the end to windows 7 support (I know they have already stopped service pack support). If you are getting any specific compile errors with VS10/12, I'll do my best to help.

Well atm I cannot figure out..(I DESPISE CMAKE btw lol ) I cannot figure out how to compile whatsoever. I tried changing the cmakelist.txt in dep/ace like i saw you say on another post i found.

I have these VS programs at my disposal. VS2013 ultimate and VS2010 express.

I continue to get fatal errors with opening ACE and also Unknown switch errors. I am trying atm to compile Mangosr2 as it seems it contains both AHBOT and Playerbot so i could compare and work from there if i could just get a singular compile working lol

Any chance you could cmake a version that I can use VS2010 express or VS2013 and send email me the uncompiled core and I can try compiling it and see if i get same errors?

My email is AndrewMcmanemy@hotmail.com or let me know where i can DL it from if you are able to post it somewhere...

If not np. Im happy to learn but this is ridiculous lol

Feel free to just email me to respond as well if you want so we dont cloud up this section with things that are not an issue...

Ive currently been able to compile the portal version but seem to be running into a snag compiling Scriptdev2 with it.

I am using VS 2010 prof version now...
