Bah what a crappy search feature!

Sorry to ask you this, but I knew there was a topic of .NET and .dll (Mervbot) coding and how to setup.
Does someone know the topic title so I can search for it? (Or post a link

)

Thanks

What?! MERVBot and .NET?!

I don't remember a thread about it but there are two ways you can go about using framework classes in merv. You can make it all managed c++ by compiling with /clr, or you can use the wrapper used in this code

Or you could just write modules how they're supposed to be written?

Are you asking for direction for setting up a new dll project with VC++ .net, mav? I can walk you through that if that is what you need.

yup, I was figuring how Visual Studio .NET might be so much better IDE to use. Also, I was wondering if you can make .dll plugins with the .NET architecture.

Good one, Cyan.

Hey Mav, want to help me writing Python scripts in ASM? Or maybe C in VB?

File->New->Project
Open the folder Visual C++ Projects and then the win32 folder. On the right side, click on win32 project, name it and press ok.
A new window will open. On the left, click on "Application Settings" and click the DLL radio button on the right. Then click the "Empty project" box and "finish."

I suppose you could probably use all the .net stuff in a dll, but I have never used it and don't plan on it, ever. The IDE is very nice but you don't need to use all the microsoft BS (like MFC and .net).

or open the provided .sln files with the core or the template plugin

Precompiled headers? It shouldn't matter.
Don't use fstream, always use stdio.h, it is sexier.

Ekted will declare a jihad on anyone who uses iostream in his presence >.<

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2005 12:11 pm Post subject:

Yeah, probably MERV would be faster than TWCore if he used <stdio.h>

*PMs ekted #include <iostream>*

mWah!

So cyan, you've got a summer job; to fix up merv.

*still waiting for catid to put in that patch you suggested*

Haha, now that'd be some bad summer job.

No. I mean the negative time issue that causes awarp detection to fail after 27+ days.

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2005 11:06 pm Post subject:

I also emailed a code-oriented fix (I don't think it would have had any effect on runtime) to him a while ago (I mean, way before the encryption thing), but no response. :-/

I've actually seriously considered fixing up MERV, not just in iostream but in a lot of the ways it does things, but 1) yes, it would suck; and 2) I'm not sure catid would even accept it.

Maverick · Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2005 7:57 am Post subject:

you would help alot of people that are using mervbot. Mervbot is still lacking on some things. Fixing those would make it a very good bot.
If you'd ask him for permission first I think he would gladly agree since he doesn't develop on it himself anymore.

I am still hoping someone can fix mervbot such a way so you can remotely host more then the theoratical 3 bots without having alot of ploss.

CypherJF · Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2005 11:28 am Post subject:

Aye, he'd probably allow it...

hmmm I should try that one time
EDIT: Thanks alot for that tip, liito-orava! I just hosted 9 bots without a single sign of ploss

$$$

Do you, or anyone else, know if you can specify more then one IP at that server.ini setting? (I assume comma seperated if its possible)

Another suggestion for mervbot would be to have each plugin in a seperate thread. So if one plugin takes up some recources, it doesn't lock up all bot(s).
