SectorSeven Ascent is 2.4.x? or 2.3.3

[SectorSeven]

Ascent is 2.4.x

+Added new section to the guide (Windows library files)

[InternetHero]

I followed the guide and when I get to the point where I have to compile scripts2008 it does this:

Solution 'scripts2008' (5 projects)
+GossipScripts
+InstanceScripts
+LUAScripting
+ServerStatusPlugin
+SpellHandlers

I hit F7 and it starts compiling then... I get this at the end of the compile.

5 Failed? What did I do wrong?

[SectorSeven]

You have to make sure you compiled Ascent FIRST and the same compile type "Release" or "Debug" before you compile scripts.

[InternetHero]

Like I said... I followed the guide and I DID compile Ascent First... and it compiled fine with no errors.... but when I go to the next step to compile scripts2008 the Build Fails! 5 failed nothing compiles... now how can that happen when I followed the guide every word? Plus, the SVN download of OpenAscent doesn't have a Trunk folder...

[SectorSeven]

Yes it does. AND did you both compile the scripts and ascent on the same build type?

[InternetHero]

What do you mean by build type? This is where I might have messed up.
