The Trouble with all that is what offsets need changed ? ..Plus just renaming ...files test(test) and changing the date gives many errors on the compile. I casually compile when I'm to broke for one of the other compile sites out there or when updates are slow to get pushed and feel like I'm being punished for one ass hats bull crap.EqMule wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2017 7:53 pmIncorrect. The "Live" server MQ2 is very much still open source and that will NEVER change. You don't HAVE to subscribe or pay any fees. No files are missing.
The only thing you have to do is correct the structs and the offsets and it will work perfectly on any live executable you do it for.
Please do not confuse the online build service with mq2 open source availability.
We set up the builder for those people who do not want to or can not patch mq2 themselves to work for live (or who simply find it easier to just use it than to install visual studio). Everyone else is welcome to use visual studio just like before.
If you build for TEST or BETA executables no manual patching is needed.
The only source that works out of the box is for test. It was a fairly big change for me to move from developing on live vs test but it can be done. The major downside is testing your code. When you try to find the edge cases the only happen once every so often because your doing a mission or in raid or ...Arglemente wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 5:43 pmSo this is probably an over discussed item but I can't find a definitive statement to support:
It appears no longer supported to build for live with the downloaded code and Visual Studio? I'm hacking the eqgame.h but things are just wrong.
I'm completely fine donating to builder, but it's sometimes fun or necessary to experiment with the core code.

I will send live source upon written request to eqmule@hotmail.com
No there are no active measures at all to prevent people from building for live.
There are active measures taken to prevent truebox builds
