You load the code into the IDE (Visual Basic).  You run it without compiling it.

When an error occurs it'll take you straight to the line that is causing the problem.  The only thing is that it's alot slower through Visual Basic than it is if you compile the code, so you can't really let it run overnight and catch errors (you just won't gain enough cycles to do it).

I check the forum every 2 hours or so all day just about everyday, so chances are good at any time that I'll be around soon.

I'll check it over...

Why don't we call 2.36 version a finished product, for which there will be tons of bots and which would come as a package with everything ready? It is (or will be) a bug-free version. Yes, it is not going to be the latest and the greatest, but it will have its own niche, its own rules and its own feel.

Agreed. We don't have to make it perfect, we just need to have it usable. As the program is ported to C++ we'll eventually have another "finished" version that new members can use without worrying about many bugs.

I managed to get VB(nice program :) ) included with an instruction guide; hopefully I can pick it up fairly fast and help out with de-bugging and slightly improving 3.6. Planning to start with beautification and work my way up to actual coding, with something like *.sons and *.refsons to start.

Got work all tomorrow(saturday), so I'll look over it some more on Sunday.

Num,
If you'd like a new general DB email adress, I'd recommend Gmail (large storage capacity). I have invitations if you need them.

gmail's had problems with large attachments in the past.

Maybe some sort of database could be set up?  Sort of like a public FTP?  Or amybe the wiki could be used for this purpose.

Probably a good place to start.  I started coding by adding the velocity sysvars.

I downloaded the c++ compiler but it asks for a program to run it with. what should I use?


p.s. it took forever because I have dial up and it took 11 and a half hours to download. I had to download it little by little whenever I was on the internet.

Which program is it asking for?

It should just be a self-installer using winshield or whatever.

Unless you mean you can't read the file extension of the zip...

I mean when I click on the file it opens a window that says "what would you like to run this file with" and it gives me a list of programes (examples of what it tells me I can run it with: acrobat reader ,word, aol instant messanger) I have to choos wich one to run it with and then ,nomatter what I choose, that the program cannot be opened with that program.

Look for winzip or winrar or winace.  Either one of those will open it for you.

Yeah, it should just be a .zip file.  Rather common extension really...
