Is there a pre-compiled windows xp version all ready or can someone make one

[Zarj Prax]

doing quest and testing mysql routines for quarrys have NOTHING to do with the current build of the cvs or stable versions...thaose are part of what i wan tto test..as well as try and make a few areas too... so telling me its worthless is being narrow minded..read the above posts.. i have said it meny times before some of the things i want to do...

i have the fellow that updated the docs for the installs and hes stumped so it seams its not me...i have the full version of vs.net 2005 and it seasm to have a problem... i am trying to fix it and compile it we are down to one error now...so its close to compiling...

and i do not see what the big dealis on wanting to do something else besides change the server/client code... i find a need for the server to be compiled and have the menas to run it..should that be enoph weather a person agrees or thinks i should that is irrelivant... i asked for help and im getting more of i shouldnt do it then support of doing it..thats a bad way to do things..wonder what else you lal have a bad mintality on..quite frankly im getting fed up with the adutudes here.. i asked for help and im getting belittled for asking for it...man what a good thing to do...you should try to look over the old morman comersials and read the grow up with poam that was made...tell someone there bad they are bad tell them they can do it and help them do it they excell at it...

man you guys are getting to be too much..STOP POSTING if you cant help or have a reply NOT RELIVANT TO compiling the code..im done with argueing the whys and nots...i have a need lets leave it at that...

so anyone else want to contribute to the working out of the compile problems either by helping me compile it or have the compiled exes all ready??

an i have falloowed the directions and i have been on the irc channels....

please please do not post here if you want to tell me off or have no solution to the problem...thank you

The only one belitteling people in this thread is you Zarj Prax.

Have you heard the old saying " you get more with suger, than you do with vinigar"

There's no (non code) mod that I can think of which needs the server to make or test. CS provides all the tools required for artists to test out maps, models and such (http://www.crystalspace3d.org/downloads/crystalspace_099_060127.exe), while anything that involves the gui only requires changes to the client (data xml's and art) which you can test on laanx. I suppose you might want one to test quests... but then I don't see the point in that myself, because if it works, then congratulations, you can copy and paste. If it doesn't, then you probably need to read the code to work out why (most things require you to read the code). So all that above, plus the fact that the server code changes nearly every day, is why we (devs) won't provide a server binary (and probably nobody else will either). Try that binary link above to get some precompiled tools like a map and model viewer.

Zarj Prax:  You really need to calm down.  As I have already told you, if you want the server read the guide and ask for help on IRC in #planeshift-build on FreeNode.  Please, please, please, stop posting long rambling posts that contain nothing.  Read over them before sumbitting; check your spelling, punctuation, and grammar; check to see if you actually had to say all that.  When I have to re-read lines, chances are you probably didn't read them at all.

If you followed the guide and no one could help you on IRC, then you probably lack the computer skills to do this.  Don't get mad at us for that.  You asked if we would build for you, and the reply was no.  I, nor any other dev, will be creating any server binaries packages because it simply is a waste of our time.  It'd take forever, and we'd be doing it every other day.  Just build from CVS.  That's what it's for.

If you give up on building the server, you can still test virtually everything yourself, as we already said.  All GUI and whatnot can be tested with the client on Laanx, and all the textures, maps, models, whathaveyou can be tested using one of CS' apps.  (which Xordan pointed to some binaries for)  The only stuff you'd be prevented from doing is quests, scripts, items, etc.  If you're not setting your own server up, then you have no need for this.  Again, the 2 are mutually required.  In other words, the stuff you can't do without building your own server is the stuff you won't need without hosting your own server.

Sure, you might think it'd be fun to screw with quests and stuff for no reason, but without hosting your own server they're useless.  In other words, there's no point in modding a server if you're not going to actually host it.  (and without C/C++ knowledge, you're really not going to be able to mod much)

If you post another long blob like the ones before, I will lock this thing.

He managed to build it with help in IRC, so woot.
