Getting a compile error on MQ2Main in EQClasses.cpp

[whit123]

Hello. After going a few rounds of tabbing through my compiling project, my folders, and the wiki/forums, I've managed to solve a plethora of my compiling errors, but now I'm hung up on this one: EQClasses::CStmlWnd::AppendSTML is linked to a naked function, as stated above. This is (I'm guessing) this my last problem, as it's the last string in the compilation of MQ2Main. I've trolled through the suspect file, but haven't found a viable solution. The wiki suggests that I've set-up incorrect parameters for my enviorment, but I assure you, I've installed the MQ2 source, MS Visual C++ 2005 Express, and SDK files correctly. I've parsed lines, and tweaked in-program variables as mentioned by the wiki, as well as various posters. I actually have used MQ2 a few months back, after a friend compiled it for me, but I decided to do it myself for this version, after returning to EQ. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful. Or, you make me feel stupid for posting this so I become more determined to compile on the lonesome, that works too. Thanks for reading -- l0k1.

I have successfully compiled my project, upon various trial and error, and (re)reading of the information available. Although compiling Macroquest is not difficult, certain hang-ups seem to be common, be it from simple mistakes, a lack of interest, or just plain bad luck. Regardless, I'm offering an e-mail address, which I check daily, to help anyone who has had these common compiling issues. I used the free method, and will be able to step you through any error you have, or at least do my best -- It's cwhitmire123@hotmail.com.

Also, a donation has been sent to the developers, as more will follow. Thank you. -- l0k1

Open the .sln file, not the .dsw file.

Delete everything. Extract a fresh copy from the ZIP. Open the .sln file, not the .dsw (better yet, delete the .dsw before you open anything). The distributed .sln was probably overwritten when the .dsw was automatically upgraded.

I think i see the light at the end of the tunel.

Did I do it right?

Whats the output file called?

[surrenderdorothy]

Ok.
Thansk for all your help
Is a separate box supposed to pop up so I can use the mq2 commands? I am not getting one though I know mq is loaded as the guards names are in red.

Here is the important thing. I just need to know how to alter my run speed and how can I use "EQDQD" and "EQKFA"

[ieatacid]

You can't. I was going to ban you for asking.

[surrenderdorothy]

I am sorry I didnt mean to upset you.

well, is a window supposed to pop up when I enter the game with macroquest? I dont seem to be able to make it come up

/plugin mq2chatwnd

That is, if you compiled that plugin.

Alrighty folks, I guess I'm ready to be Flamed...lol. First off..NO..I am not a brilliant tech, so please forgive me if this is all boringly mundane to you. After seaching, reading, debating, RE-reading and more searching I've come to the conclusion that COMPILING MQ2 is not your average cup of tea per say. I have tried numerous times working through the obvious mistakes as I went along, but now I am perplexed. According to the program I have finally managed to compile the MQ2 with success using the directions from the Wiki. (FYI - using the Visual C++ 2005 Express version) But, I am only seeing one .dll file, the MQ2main.dll. According to what I have read* though there should be many, many more then that. I just finished reading this thread and about kicked myself for the obvious..."If you compiled that file...???" Doh!!!=\ Why didnt I think of that??? But, by paying strict attention and going exactly by what the Wiki says all I had to compile was the MQ2main file. I am going to assume though that I will need to compile all files...and hopefully get it to work. I was experiencing the same problems as mentioned above about there not being a mq2chatwnd in game. (Before you flame to hard..Yes, I tried using the in-game load and unload commands. When i unloaded it went straight to the normal chat box...which I really am trying to avoid for obvious reasons, but it would not load with /plugin mq2chatwnd.) Anyways..thats the extent of my ***Noob Beotching, Complaining, and Question Asking*** for the time being . Hopefully compiling all files will fix the problems. Also, FYI...Tried to donate today from the download website, but the links for individuals as well as general donation were not working. Sorry.

* One link I found directed me to a page that was a walk through for compiling and using MQ2-->
http://www.macroquest2.com/includes/wassup/manual.php <-- The author suggested the following:
After compiling Macroquest2:
Create a new folder anywhere, such as c:\MQ2
Create four new folders within this folder, named configs, ini, logs, and macros
Copy the Macroquest2.exe, the compiled dll's, the ini files, and the .txt files from the Release folder to c:\MQ2:

Is this merely for back up purposes or is the file suppose to be linked tothe program??? They did not elaborate on what to do with this file after making it.

Thanks in advance for you help.
