Just recently decided to see if I can make an event bot. The MERVBot tutorial is great to code it, but only if you have Visual Studios 6.0 already installed. Microsoft decided to stop support for VS 6.0 several months ago (maybe it was at the beginning of this year), so I instead tried to use Borland's free C++ compiler. They do have Microsoft Visual Express 2005 available for free, but it doesn't handle making .DLLs.

Now, I know the option to make a .DLL from ONE file (from the -tWD option, "bcc32 -tWD command.cpp", which gives me both the .DLL and command.tds). But I believe it needs to include both command.cpp and spawn.cpp correct? Though when I try this with just spawn.cpp I get:
Error E2133: Unable to execute command 'tasm32.exe'

Any help? I have BitComet, so a link to an active torrent for VS 6.0 (I could only find a couple dead ones instead) may also solve this problem.

Thanks.


P.S. I've made both files compile so far (though with several warnings: i.e. so-and-so is assigned a value but never used). I have most of the event code commented out just so I can try to make this plugin work through a base scenario before taking the big step with full implementation.

MSVS 2005 does handle DLL making...

Use Dev-C++ or, as mentioned, VS2005.

You can get a free copy of Visual C++ 2005 Express (only leaves stuff you would most likely not use) here.
