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

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

Are you using service pack 6?

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

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

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

_________________

3.0.7 uses MySQL, which is more difficult to setup than the ini files that already work out of the box with MS 3.0.3/MSE-1.

Once you get it setup right, the MySQL version is okay to deal with, and can make it easier to integrate your game data with a website or something. However, if you are just getting into Mirage Source, you will be better off dealing with one of the other 2 versions and maybe working your way up to MySQL databases later. It will save you some headaches while you learn how MS works.

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?

You'll want to compile.

_________________

i know im so stupid for this but, how?

You need VB6. VS wont work.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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

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