Epic lol , really niCe +Rep

[findnemo]

Thanks for this. Awsome released.Can we have Setup.cpp?

[Devilsadvocate]

not too bad... +Rep

[Rockerfooi]

This is really nice done... but on the more popular servers quite annoying every 3 sec. a message... and people could easily use this to spam with it... But really nice anyways

[Pragma]

thanks guys

Thanks for this. Awsome released.Can we have Setup.cpp?

no Setup.cpp needed

[findnemo]

Oh thanks .It is working for now . I want to replace Mmmowned to another word with new color ex : welcome to House (with blue color) , can you teach me please .Thanks ^^

[Pragma]

Well mmowned is in there cause its the name of the character that joined. see the string that is displayed says "[News!]Give a warm welcome to <name> the <race> <class>."

[мιяаgє]

That's pretty cool man +Rep

[Gastricpenguin]

+7 rep

Where have you been all this time? xD

[Pragma]

Ya man i was afk for about like 4-5 months lol

[TheSpidey]

Looks solid. Just a few pointers:
Move the struct declaration to out of the function, then just declare raceInfo and classInfo as instances of that struct.
No need to delete welcomeMsg as it's local and gets deleted by C++'s garbage collection.

[Pragma]

k, ill change that and ya i took out the wrlcomestr deletion on mine when i realized it was converting it to a pointer before deletion because it was unneeded to be deleted

[Extension]

Hi, i am quite new in making dll's and i have a little question!
Can one of you guys short help me and write down how i make this for ArcEmu?
What i have to do..?

thx.. and insane +rep for this nice source

[Pragma]

if you would like to build this as a DLL for ArcEmu you would do it the exact same as you would for Ascent, search mmowned for Gastric's vid on compiling a DLL
