[Cyberflight]

This website sucks
http://www.macroquest2.com/wiki/index.p ... :Compiling

I am stuck trying to compile this using VS 2005 C++ or VB

I personally hate installing 10yr old software and would like to get it working but am not a pro with VS especialy 2005

Upgrade goes perfect but build bombs

Error on every SLN or DSW file.

I have tried running the build from the Soultion folder, and copying the windows.h file to all folders, nothing seems to be working.

(Before ya flame read on)

I dont care to install and old ass version of C++ or VS screwing up my comp and security so I am working on this from error/bug to error/bug untill it works and will gladly post a How To once it dose.

If you have some ideas, or know a file/configuration that should be changed to point the files plase post them.

By the way if anyone reads this an has control over the site functions its a pain in the ass to use and the search engine sucks (Search Windows.h has 200 results which not a single fuckin one has any relavance, maybe thats why people post after they search?)

Sorry im in a foul mood after reading some of the dimwhitted remarks from morons that dont know a rats ass from a compile error and feel compelled to post a smart ass remark. So like I said, if you have some relavent experience, or information please let me know.

Your IP is banned as is your username, but assuming you have the brains to figure out a proxy I'll make this short and sweet.

First of all, theres two search functions on our site, and both are in extremely popular software packages. The first one is called phpBB, and you can find that at http://www.phpbb.com. If you want to whine about their search engine, bring it up with them, not us. The second one is called MediaWiki, and is used by some of the most popular sites in the world. See: http://www.wikipedia.org, the world's largest free online encyclopedia -- ranked #132 for website traffic (http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main? ... ipedia.org). Wikis are user-editable web sites, and we have launched ours as a new way of documenting MacroQuest 2 and associated plugins and scripts. If you want to whine about their search engine, bring it up with them (http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net).

Secondly, VB uses an entirely different language, so i dont even know why you brought that language up. Visual Studio 2005 is in beta and the latest retail version of visual studio is 2003, NOT 2005. MacroQuest 2 compiles natively in visual studio 6, visual studio 2002 and visual studio 2003. If you want to deal with visual studio 2005, you're on your own. It's beta, and is more strict.

Finally, the instructions for posting in MQ2::Help specifically state that you put information on the wiki as you would like to find it if you were looking for the answer to your question. You failed to follow the instructions, but at least you figured out how to hit the "edit" button. Your edit was nothing more useful than your post.

Dont let the door hit you on your way out.
