Bot Questions - Java BDK Anonymous - Sat Dec 28, 2002 4:17 am Post subject: Java BDK
Are there any Java bot sources for SS out there?
I read somewhere that TW had Java bots, but wouldn't release them as Java is too easy to reverse engineer.
The reason why I want Java is because it is free, unlike all the MS tools I see being used (C++, VB, etc).

You could port the Mervbot to java. I thought about doing this, but because I have so much else on my plate, I decided not to, as the C++ one works fine.

Dev-C++ is open source and a very nice compiler that i have used a few times. You just have to be able to build your own projects from the source files given to you, since most projects included in source packages will be either a makefile or for Visual C.
As for the java bot, yes Trench Wars does have one. Dock> made it as a project for himself, and it works very well. He has decidecidedinst releasing it publicly due to the fact that you stated; its very easy to reverse engineer java.

Hmm 3 downloads, I choose the small 2mb one. Now I have an IDE and example projects, no binaries or headers, etc. Were they the other two 10-15mb files? Or do I need a separate download from else where? (Something about minigw was mentioned). Also a warning to other people installing it, the "do not asscoiate .c .h etc" files option does _not_ work, but can be changed from one of the IDE's menus.

I got the compiler installed, but couldnt make the DLLs build properly, so i stuck with VC++6.0.
If anyone ever gets it working, please, please post it here! or else Anonymous - Fri Jan 03, 2003 6:44 pm Post subject:
After some waiting and looking around I found that win98 users need to download some updates from M$ to make it work (I'll reboot in a sec and report back later).
The Bloodshed website is much more helpful than the Source Forge one.
It turns you that the smaller binary is just the IDE, the other two are different versions, the gcc32 won't compile the samples while gcc295 will.
One thing I have learnt is that system() can be used to emulate batch commands.

If you have win98 and windres.exe won't work add --use-temp-file to the windres part of the makefile (you have to compile using a DOS box as the IDE overwrites the makefile..)
