newby compiling with new EQ structure (1 Viewer)

[KOKKOR]

Before December patches and the new EQ structure, we had Cade's MQ2 compiling guide for newby to make changes in the MQ2 files : noauth +date / time check + warp + string

EQ structure changed and many changes had to be undertaken in MQ2 structure also

Is it possible to have a short compiling guide for the new MQ2 files ?
There are so many infos in so many files I can t find them all to get my own compile without errors :mad:

I guess the changes for noauth codes are the same ( microsoft into microsoap ) but not sure for other changes

Thks in advance

Here's what I always delete/modify:

String TLO...
In MQ2Data.cpp find

TLO(dataString)
{
	WriteChatf("Due to complete misuse of the String Top-Level Object, it has been removed.");
	return false;
	/*
	if (!ISINDEX())
		return false;
	strcpy(DataTypeTemp,szIndex);
	Ret.Ptr=&DataTypeTemp[0];
	Ret.Type=pStringType;
	return true;
	/**/
}

and remove

	WriteChatf("Due to complete misuse of the String Top-Level Object, it has been removed.");
	return false;
	/*



	/**/

Disables the time stamp...
Remove from MQ2PluginHandler.cpp

DWORD checkme(char *module)
{
    char *p;
    PIMAGE_DOS_HEADER pd = (PIMAGE_DOS_HEADER)module;
   PIMAGE_FILE_HEADER pf;
    p = module + pd->e_lfanew;
    p += 4;  //skip sig
    pf = (PIMAGE_FILE_HEADER) p;
    return pf->TimeDateStamp;
}

static unsigned int mq2mainstamp = 0;

Remove from MQ2PluginHandler.cpp

    if (!mq2mainstamp) {
        mq2mainstamp = checkme((char*)GetModuleHandle("mq2main.dll"));
    }

Remove from MQ2PluginHandler.cpp

		return 0;
	}
    if (mq2mainstamp > checkme((char*)hmod)) {
        DebugSpew("Please recompile %s %d %d", FullFilename, mq2mainstamp, checkme((char*)hmod));
        FreeLibrary(hmod);

Warp crap...
Remove from MQ2PluginHandler.cpp

	if (!stricmp(Filename,"mq2warp")) // ^_^
	{
		return 0;
	}

Find in MQ2Main.h and replace 0 with offset

#define CDisplay_MoveLocalPlayerToSafeCoords 0

In EQData.h replace

/*0x24c*/   FLOAT   Unknown0x24c[0x3];

with

/*0x1ec*/   FLOAT	SafeYLoc; 
/*0x1f0*/   FLOAT	SafeXLoc; 
/*0x1f4*/   FLOAT	SafeZLoc;

Remove from MQ2CommandAPI.cpp

if (!stricmp(Command,"/warp"))
{
Function=0;
}

/zone in DoDH....
In EQData.h change

#define   MAX_ZONES                                    0x15B

to

#define   MAX_ZONES                                    0x171

i don't have time to compare with cades other post in guides section..

but plink is any of that different than what he posted?

If so .. then i would post only that part...

so as not to confuse 8-)

I'm not familiar with what post you're talking about army. Only thing I've started changing since being here was the MAX_ZONES define, everything else I was already changing...

It looks like the same changes... Only thing he has that I don't is the noauth compile which I don't need so I don't use :P
