Starting up the server?

[Swordmaster]

hey, im not really sure how to start the server. im kind of new to VB 6.0, do i just open server.vbp and compress it as a .exe?

thanks

Yes, thats the way to do it. Or you can just press F5 and run it from visual basic to test it out.

[Swordmaster]

Thanks, but

I get the -2147467259 (80004005)':

when i click debug it highlights over Conn_Client.Open

Do you know how to fix this?

i know in most finished games you have to register a certain.dll or .ocx file im pretty sure

[William]

Conn_Client.Open? Were do you find that line of code? what source are you using? Install library files:

Mirage 3.0.7 in ModDatabase




Im using VB 6.0 enterprise

[Swordmaster]

i honestly dont know, it just says VB 6.0 enterprise edition

I did fix the error i was getting but now i get a compile error (variable not defined) on the MAX_ MAPX

Public Const START_MAP = 1
Public Const START_X = MAX_MAPX / 2
Public Const START_Y = MAX_MAPY / 2

[William]

You are using a difficuly ms version. I suggest you download Mirage Source Engine 1.

[Swordmaster]

alright, thanks

[William]

alright, thanks

But of course we support you if you now decide to use 3.0.7.

[Swordmaster]

yea 3.0.7 did seem hard but i just got build 1 to work so ill be with that for a while thanks

Just so you know, MySQL isn't really a better option. It kinda depends on your taste.Hope you enjoy you stay here in the community

i have Visual Basic 2008 Express edition. How do i convert the vbp to exe?

[Egon]

You'll want to compile.

[littleblackbox]

i know im so stupid for this but, how?

[Beres]

You need VB6. VS wont work.

[littleblackbox]

well, that sure does explain how i couldnt find the button -.-

[Beres]

You can compile projects in VS too.. Just Mirage wasn't programmed with VS, so even if you could compile it, there would be errors.

[littleblackbox]

i tried with vs after having to convert it and it didnt even run so yeah i know what u mean now.

[littleblackbox]

ok, i compiled it and its working. Now i have another problem, somehow i managed to delete the vbp file....where can i find a decompiler so i can get it back?

[Beres]

What? You deleted the .vbp for your server? Just reupload another one.

[littleblackbox]

i made changes to teh original vbp....>.> and i know im an idiot but i dont remember exactly which ones...-.-

[Beres]

I don't know what to tell you other than just upload a new copy and start again.

[katcode]

You can't use Mirage with Visual Basic 2008, It's Visual Basic .NET, wich is In-compatible with VisualBasic 6.0.
The Convertor Fails horridly so it is impossible to use it with that. Just Pirate a copy of VB6 or find one on Ebay or something.
