[Guide] How to compile your own DLL

[hideko]

You have to compile Ascent first....
If you dont have it compiled than you will get that error

i have compiled ascent before, about 4x actually and im still getting that error =\

[Murlock.]

I just copy the gossip files and mod the setups and mod the project. But, if you wanna do it the hard way this works! +Rep

[BillyBob31]

ok i fixed it i went and used a templete project .vproj file and just edited to the the files they were in manually and did my own and it worked ...

But 1 question

Where in the script can i change from the message type of

.announce

To

.wannounce

Would be so much better cause then would appear above rather then peoples chat ... meaning i can have it appear more often without spamming their chat.
Just if someone can tell me which line to change i can edit it thx everyone in advance ...

You mean you have a spam script (like every 50 sec: Players, dont forget to vote on *website*.com or something like that?)
Or what?

[BillyBob31]

here ill give link of what im working on ... and i still get errors when trying to mak project but im getting them when i try to release .. ( compile ) it, but heres what im trying to make maybe someone can edit it and make it for me and upload the .dll here.


Board Message

Theres what im trying to make .... if someone does make it for me .... only 3 things i want changed ...... in the message.cpp near top you change where it says what it says before message right now its "SYSTEM" plz remove system and make it blank and set the timer for like 5 minutes ..... and change it from a .announce message to a .wannounce message

[Cursed]

Here you go... it should work. (should be wannounce and no 'Server')

[Morachop]

guys...im using ac-web 7.6 repack, how can i compile a dll?

[Cursed]

Morachop just look for a 'How to compile Ascent' guide here and compile it yourself. After that you can compile a dll with my guide and then put that dll in your Ac-Web Repack/script_bin folder...
