i use vs6 dont know if there is a problem in .net but if you cant compile it, use the previous version instead then.

Yeah thanks, nice work around .... anyways, yes previous is working, the bzsrch is in this new update *cough* . Anyways, no worries mate. Just posting the issues I run across.

EDIT ...

Did you run MQ2Auth.exe to produce the new MQ2Auth0.h file needed?

Yes, otherwise I get an error about not finding the MQ2Auth0.h
Did that first before I read changes.txt .

Getting the same error compiling the latest version from clean unpack of zip under .NET:

EQClasses.obj : fatal error LNK1279: invalid or corrupt file: file contains invalid .sxdata contributions

did you REALLY follow the Compiling Instructions?

and if that doesnt work and you are using vs net try menu Build->Batch Build and select only the Release versions...

Yes and yes. Same erro as the other post I had linked above, same error. I added the #if 0 and #endif as was the "fix" from the other post. Did not work this time. Same exact error though on the compile.

Here's what you do.
Open up eqgame.h

Block comment all the new offsets starting at here:

Code: Select all

// CXWnd
#define CXWnd__Bottom                            0x54ADB0

with either #if 0/#endif or /* */

And if you want to be useful instead of a dickweed, you could always help determine which ones are causing you this problem, by systematically commenting out different sections and narrowing it down.

If you need a quick lesson on algorithms here you go:
Each time you try it, chop it in half. If one half works fine and the other doesnt, you narrowed it down by 50%. If both dont, then you need to test both halves individually. This is a recursive algorithm, so first you have two halves... then you have four... then eight... then sixteen... but each time you're narrowing it down, so while there's 16 halves, you are only going to be checking two of them.

1,2 ... 2 is ok, split 1 into 1,2 and 2 is 3,4 (but we're ignoring 3,4)
1,2 ... 1 is ok, split 1 into 1,2 and 2 is 3,4 (but we're ignoring 1,2)
3,4 ... 4 is ok, split 3 into 5,6 and 4 is 7,8 (but we're ignoring 7,8)

.... etc...
JUST KEEP CHECKING HALF OF WHATS NOT WORKING, ASSHOLE
k

figure out which ones are fucking you up and you can have a cookie.

Ok looks like the following lines are causing the problem:

#define CStmlWnd__MakeWndNotificationTag 0x563870

and

#define CStmlWnd__ParseSTMLTable 0x5690D0

in VC .Net here as well.

Commenting out these offsets fixes the error under VCNET 2003 for me as well.
