Any help?

More information. Problem seems to be in this section of mq.h:

Code: Select all

typedef DWORD	(__stdcall *fEQWriteChatColor)(THIS_ PCHAR, DWORD, DWORD);

You are picking up the wrong dinput.h for one thing.

dont_know_at_all · Post by **dont_know_at_all** » Fri Mar 07, 2003 8:03 pm

For the VC60 compiler, you must:
1. Compile the detours source and move lib and pdb file into appropriate directory
2. Create a blank win32 application project pointing at the MQ directory.
3. Add a win32 dll project to the project in step 2. Call it eqlib
4. Add all the sources in the eqlib directory to the eqlib project.
5. Add the CINTERFACE definition to the Preprocess definitions.
6. Add the DX8.1 include path to the Additional include directories.
7. Add ws2_32.lib to the Object/library modules.
8. Add ..\Detours\lib (where you put the objects from 1.) to Additional library path
9. Press F7 and cross your fingers.
10. Switch back to the main project.
11. Add the sources in the MacroQuest directory to this project.
12. Press F7 and pray.

Everything should have compiled at that point. Gather up exe and eqlib.dll and you should be good to go.

Thanks, that worked. Problem was adding CINTERFACE to preprocess, and in recompiling Detours.

sorry you got a coding newb here, howcomile the detours source?

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Mon Mar 10, 2003 11:03 am

Again, depends on what compiler you are using.

Extract Detours.exe to a temp directory. That will create an SRC directory within the temp directory.

Now, open up a command console, go to that directory. In my case C:\temp\src. If you are using VC++, from the command line type "nmake". That will read the Makefile in the SRC directory and create three files, detours.h, detours.lib, and detours.pdb. Copy detours.h to the include subdirectory of your compiler. Copy the other two to the lib directory.

These files will now be ready to use for compiling, and your compiler will find them without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

Now, when you extract Detours.exe you will find that these three files already exist. Problem is they won't work for compiling MQ. Delete the files that came with the distribution and recompile as above.

How do I extract detours.exe form detours.h in VC6?

driftinsupra · Post by **driftinsupra** » Mon Mar 10, 2003 1:21 pm

I didnt see any detours.exe file, wheres it at?

driftinsupra · Post by **driftinsupra** » Mon Mar 10, 2003 1:23 pm

of yea I am using vc++

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Mon Mar 10, 2003 1:29 pm

Ack!

Detours is distributed by Microsoft. You can get it here: http://research.microsoft.com/sn/detours/

Download detours.exe, that is a self-extracting WinZip file. Run it (double click on it) and pick a temp directory to extract it to, say C:\temp.

Now, go to C:\temp, and delete the files in the LIB and INCLUDE subdirectory. Call up a command console (a command line, y'know, C:>).

Change to the SRC directory (C:\temp\src). Execute a make command, that's "nmake" if you have VC++. This will compile the source code in the SRC directory, and place detours.h in the empty INCLUDE directory, and detours.lib and detours.pdb in the LIB directory. Copy those files to your compilers LIB and INCLUDE directories.

The detours part of the code will now compile correctly.

woot, thanks

I have eqlib.dll and the .exe compiled but MQ shuts down as soon as I run it. Any ideas on what I did wrong?

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Mon Mar 10, 2003 2:45 pm

Which version of the sourcecode are you using?

Do you have the latest offsets, and are they in the eqgame.ini file?

Sounds like a basic configuration problem.

Mkorr.. could you please explain a bit more in detail on how to add preprocess and Dx8.1 and so on?
