Post by Bahamut » Wed Mar 12, 2003 8:32 pm

Ok, total noob here so flame me if you like, tried to search for help but coldn't find anything, i downloaded MQ-20020905 and put in the newest offsets from the quick links, i tried to follow the install directions but it still crashes as soon as i get past the char. select screen, i then tried to not boot it up until after everquest was loaded and when i typed in any command i crashed, please help, not sure WTF i'm doing wrong, install instructions seem pretty plain and simple, i must be a moron.....on ya i'm on winxp
Thx for your time.

You must get the source and compile it:
http://macroquest2.com/source/


This should probably be sticky.

Compiling means no more binary releases.

No worries anyway, SOE is going to break us tonight with the next patch.
