ACE Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hello, I have always wanted to work on a mod for NOLF; however, the legacy environment required to do so has always been an obstacle. I need some 2013 guidance on setting up the source code for development. This isn't 1999 or 2001 anymore. So there are challenges present that are not covered by monolith initial installation instructions. I have in my possession visual studio 6, I.e., I have visual c++ 6.0 I have to port it to a newer machine and then update it to the right service pack and directx sdk. Does anyone out there know how I can update VC++ 6 in this day and age? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 I need the service packs for visual c++ 6. It's really hard getting a hold of those in 2013. I also need the directx 8 SDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Only service park 6 can be found there. Can anyone confirm if the source still compiles with service pack 6? service pack 4 is required by the nolf source. I'm not sure if there would be any problems with service pack 6.

ACE Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) So does anyone know where I can get Visual C++ 6 service packs 4 and the DirectX 8 SDK ? I've managed to get my VC6 on a newer machine since my last post. The first link posted is no good anymore and the second link doesn't contain VC6 service packs.

ACE Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Ok, I was able to compile the game and play the game with the compiled binaries without a problem after using Service Pack 6 and the DirectX SDK (Didn't say 8) It worked... which is great. The readme file indicates that service pack 3 and DirectX 8 SDK are required but like I said, I'm getting by with the newer updates. I got what I needed from these links: VS6 Service Pack 6 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9183 DirectX SDK http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10368 One caveat, during the installation of Service Pack 6, I ran the setup file and it failed because it couldn't find a setup file. I renamed the file, sp698ent.stf to acmsetup.stf which solved the problem as described here: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?721925-Problem-installing-VB-6-0-Service-Pack-6-on-Win-7-32-Bit-Embedded-PC Hope this helps anyone else, and thank you to everyone who offered help.
