You need to of had ascent already compiled.

[Crimzin2007]

'm having some difficulty using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008.

It's skipping constantly, maybe it's because I'm not familiar with the program but I put everything where it is supposed to be. No problems whatsoever. Double-Click VC90solution in the windows libraries and get ready to compile for x64 / release and it says....

========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 2 skipped ==========

I posted this originally on SecterSevens guide. Maybe you would know of a possible solution for it? I get the same problem when I try to compile the server... 5 skipped.

[ardtard76]

Now i havnt done much with server emulation so dont flame me for being retarded. What does compiling your own ascent do. I've heard of repacks which my friend said are the easiest. If so what is the difference?

EDIT: Also, does this work for Vista?

[Wolverine77]

im totaly lost, been trying to get my howling repack public for a week, I can get it on Hamachi, was told to recompile, but dont understand how it seems to compile, but not sure what todo with the files.

[Brootus32]

I just love how friendly everyone is.... you should have done this.... you should have done that..... you're and idiot.....

Give me a freaken break..... take 2 seconds and help these people.

Hmm, not sure if you noticed this but as I was installing Visual C++ 2008 I saw that it had went ahead and installed .NET Framework v3.5.

[SpookyMan92]

Thanks for the guide. Well, mainly how to get the ascent sorce code. It's free to edit right?

[Nesox]

[2dgreengiant]

Go into the extras folder and go in the ascent-library files and check the readme

[Emuchild]

I was "building" AscentVC90 and at the end I got

========== Build: 4 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Do I go on or what?

Thanks for the guide BTW.
