If you dont have MQ2 source, you cant compile plugins to work with MQ2. The plugins require files from MQ2 to build.

I have MQ2 and its compiled.. i just dont know how to compile the plugins.. i guess ill figure it out..

You have to compile the plugins WITH macroquest. And do you hvae VS.NET or 6.0?

i have vs.net 60 day trial...

I don't use VS.NET but I belive this is how:


1) Download the MQ2 source (duh)
2) Open a command prompt
3) In the command prompt navagate to the folder with the MQ2 source in it
4) Type

mkplugin YourPluginNameHere

5) Close the command prompt and open your MQ2 folder, then open the folder by the name of the plugin you want to compile (what you typed right after "mkplugin")
6) Open YourPluginName.cpp, delete everything in it, and c/p the plugin source there
7) Save and close
8) Go back to the main MQ2 folder, not any subfolders and open MacroQuest2.sln
9) Go to File->Add Project->Existing project, and select the Myplugin.vcproj.
10) Compile like normal
