if you are interested in making plugins for Mervbot, read http://wiki.minegoboom.com/index.php/MERVBot_Tutorial

Read it carefully and do what it sais, you should be alright then.

Script kiddies?

Script kiddie

A person, normally someone who is not technologically sophisticated, who randomly seeks out a specific weakness over the Internet in order to gain root access to a system without really understanding what it is s/he is exploiting because the weakness was discovered by someone else. A scriptkiddie is not looking to specific information or a specific company but rather uses knowledge of a vulnerability to scan the entire Internet for a victim that possesses that vulnerability.

What 50 cent means doesn't have much to do with using security holes in a system, he means people who copy code from others without actually understanding what the code does.
They "write" plugins without knowing what they're doing, which usually leads to poorly written plugins.
This isn't really what's in the definition, but parts of it do match.

Thanks, but your open the .snl and the tutorial instructions confused me
you're not 6 years old!

Ps: why don't you explain more bak or purge+ how you made that plugin

Or better yet: why don't one of you give me your msn so I can nag you to death about plugin questions then you can feed me with a silver spoon?

ty... now where's that file: \mervbot\makeplugin\tutorial\sockets.h(13) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'winsock2.h': No such file or directory

Purge - Thu Jun 23, 2005 12:03 pm
Post subject:

Your path to the MERV's src is wrong. Make sure your project's folder is in the MERV src folder and that your non-dynamic includes are like this:

Code: Show/Hide

#include "..\sockets.h"

Cyan~Fire - Thu Jun 23, 2005 12:20 pm
Post subject:

You're wrong purge.

Do you have the Win32 SDK installed, Oer? You're missing one of the include files that it provides. Try searching for "winsock2.h" and make sure wherever it is is on your visual studio include path.

Am I? It says that the compiler is looking for "sockets.h", which is part of the MERVbot src code.

Is it looking for sockets.h?

yeah, #include <sockets.h>

Do you have the merv src in the parent folder?

For that, it should be "..\sockets.h" and not <sockets.h> (since it's in a different folder).

It found sockets.h, it didn't find winsock2.h

I've attached winsock2.h, Oer, put it into the same directory as sockets.h and (in sockets.h) change

#include <winsock2.h>

to

#include "winsock2.h"

Let me know if there's any other files you're missing

oops.. misunderstood you... now it's missing windows.h (from winsock2.h)

Oer The Dragon - Thu Jun 23, 2005 3:45 pm

i found all the files... but i gotta add em one by one

anyone know how to do it so you don't have to replace <windows.h> with "windows.h"?

Put them in the same directory as the plugin's src?

no i still have to replace <> with ""

edited: holy crap visual studio is opening over 900 files
just opened another visual studio automatically

Cyan~Fire - Thu Jun 23, 2005 5:15 pm

OMG don't listen to these people, Oer.

Remove all of the files you've moved into the plugin's directory. Now, find out where the include directories are listed in VC2005 (it's in Tools->Options->Directories tab in VC6 if that helps), and make sure the directory that had all of those files is listed there. Then, change the ""s back to <>s.

What are you planning to do, Bak? Attach the whole SDK? Have him copy every file in the SDK into every plugin directory he tries to compile?

Bak - Thu Jun 23, 2005 7:04 pm
Post subject:

Well I was hoping it was just one file that was missing. If you add it to the include path (like cyan~fire said) wherever you installed VS.NET you won't have to change the <> to ""

for heavens sake... I had a suspision it was to buy

i'll try

Why dont you buy it Purge.

Cyan~Fire - Fri Jun 24, 2005 6:04 pm
Post subject:

Oh. So when you say you "found all the files" that means you found them on the net? If you want to download everything the way it should be check here.

But if you're actually buying a copy of VS, then the CD should come with the SDK (software development kit) on it.

No one called you a script kiddie, I said that you should learn C++ first before persuing mervbot.

All socket files should be in the compiler's include directory. If it's not then you either stole the software (via kazaa, ect) or you have some crappy student version. They are probably in the SDK

Cyan~Fire - Sun Jun 26, 2005 9:00 pm
Post subject:

Huh? It sounds like you're just putting it in your compiler options string. Put it in the Tools -> Options directories thing if you want to to work right. (That'll have a browse interface, too.)

It's like in the "Project Settings" tree node on the left, and then directories under that or something. At least that's what my dad (who uses VS.NET) says.
