Compiling instructions,
Getting your own working copy of macroquest2 is no simple task but hopefully this guide will help you to get your own working copy that little bit easier. I'd really suggest getting your hands on a copy of visual C++ instead of using this, it is 100 times easier but for those that can't get a copy this is for you.
Download the latest source file from
http://www.macroquest2.com/main.php?p=download
Before compiling with any method - Run MQ2Auth.exe
Visual Studio 7 / .NET - Select "Release" configuration (should be already set), hit Build All. All DLLs and the MacroQuest2.exe will compile to the release directory.
Visual Studio 6 - Load the workspace. Set MQ2Main as active project. Hit Build MQ2Main.dll (F7). Now do Batch Build (under Build menu). Make sure everything in the batch build window that says "release" has a check by it. Click Build in the window. All should compile with no errors or warnings.
If you do not own a copy of Visual Studios 7/.Net or 6 please read below.
This guide shows you how to set up MQ2 100% free! It has been tested on ME and XP but should work on other OS too.
1.) Download the lastest MQ2 onto your desktop.
http://www.macroquest2.com/main.php?p=download&product=mq2
2.) Extract the files.
3.) Open the folder and double click MQ2auth.exe
(A black screen with come up and disappear, that is what should happen).
4.) Select everything in the folder and send it to a compressed file(The file name may vary).
5.) Move the compressed file to your Desktop.
6.) Register at http://www.sendthisfile.com
Then send the compressed file to yourself in an e-mail.
7.) Go here.
https://msdn.demoservers.com/regist....html?TrackingID=undefined&referURL=undefined
Register(Use 00000 as the zip code and "Other" for the last 2 options).
Check your e-mail, click the link and log in.
8.) Click the "Connect to Visual Studio .net Lab" link
and allow the ActiveX Control to install.
9.) Close the window that is open and open Internet Explorer.
10.) Go to your E-mail and download the file that you sent to yourself onto the Desktop.
11.) Right-click the file and select Extract All(The servers extractor is SLOOOOOW).
12a.) Open the file and double click MQ2Auth.exe(A window will popup and ask if you want to allow the program to run, click OK).
Now, if you want to add plugins read the colored text. If not then don't read ANY of the colored text, instead skip it)
I'm going to use MQ2Twist as my example.
12b.) Go to
http://www.macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8895
Copy the code that is in the code brackets.
12c.) In the server window, click Start and click on the VS.NET 2003 Command Prompt.
Then type "cd Desktop\MQ2-Latest" in the command prompt and hit Enter.
Then type "mkplugin MQ2Twist" and hit Enter.
12d.) Close the command prompt and open the MQ2-Latest file. Open the newly created MQ2Twist folder. Then double-click MQ2Twist.cpp file. Go to Edit -> Select All and then paste the text you copied into the MQ2Twist.cpp file.
Then close the window and click yes to save.
13.) Have the MQ2-Latest folder open and double click MacroQuest2.sln(NOT MacroQuest.dsw, it WILL NOT work if you double click that file)
14a.) When a window pops up click Yes. Then select Release.
14b.) Select "File -> Add Project -> Add Existing Project"
Navigate to the MQ2Twist folder. then select the MQ2Twist.vcproj file and click Open.
15.) Go to Build menu, select Batch build.
16.) Click Select All. Then click Build(It takes a while).
17.) Wait awhile until the Output window says:
and close the program(NOT THE SERVER WINDOW, if you close that window you will need to log back on).
[NOTE: If you added a plugin it will say 14 built instead of 13)
18.) Open MQ2-Latest, select all the files and send them to a compressed file(The name of the file may vary).
19.) Take out the compressed file and put it on the desktop, rename it “MacroQuest2.zip“.
20.) Open Internet Explorer, go to http://www.sendthisfile.com and send the newly compressed file to your e-mail.
