Well

Well, first, you post your question once, and in the right forum. Then, you read the other 100 posts asking the same question...

/sigh

Anyway, I'll be nice.

you downloaded
you did new offsets (you're sure they're the newest)
you renamed the .dist to .ini
you placed the dll from the no perl directory into the MQ folder if you're using 9x/ME

you know what? I'm tired of typing this. There are tons of other threads out there to answer this question.

Again, j00 are not looking for your answer.

I'll give you a hint in the form of a jumbled word:


sretlif...

It's not even so jumbled. :) There are probably 30 posts with this same solution...

Hehehe, okies.

He has ME.

Well, like always...
-I made sure he had the latest version
-latest offsets
-client override set to 0
--(looking for that crazy client error message is always helpful)
-turned file extentions on (much better when you can see .mac, .txt, .ini,
--that sort of thing. Mostly I did this to make sure he'd put the offsets in
---the right place, and that notepad had not overwritten the .ini as a .txt.)

Still no client error, so...
-place EqLib.dll fron the no-perl folder into the Release folder, overwriting --the old one, and BANG, it workied.


Like I posted above, it was the same fix that had been posted a good 30 times, he just didn't know where to look for it. :)

Anyway, there ya go. :) (same thing you said, I just said it firstest.)

If MQ continues to work after the next set of patches, maybe I'll put together an installshield version of MQ to avoid these types of things.

NO

Post by Malachi » Tue Feb 18, 2003 7:18 pm

I don't think that's a good idea.


We talked before about "why is the .dist named .dist, why not just .ini?" and we basically concluded that it not being 100% easy is a good way to prevent anyone and their sister from using the program.

Sure, we want people to use it, but we don't want everyone running it. Pack it into an installshield, and you can bet it'll be GONE the patch after you do it.
