thanks.
annoying cat,
It's frustrating isn't it? I've been trying for WEEKS to get a step by step on editing the dropfilter myself and have spent many hours just trying to turn the original source code, without any edits, into a .dll file to no avail. VS gives me errors saying that a file is missing when I try to actually build the .dll, but I've downloaded the entire source code, so everything SHOULD be there. I can open this or that file with Notepad++, but what good does it do me to tinker with the source code files, if the programs I use can't even make a .dll file out of the original unchanged files?
Everyone says "use this program" or "this program works great" but what most of us need is a 1. 2. 3. on how to get it to compile the .dll. It wouldn't take more than 15 minutes I'd think.
1. First, Dowload the full Dropfilter source code.
(I've done this)1. Download "THIS" program to work with the source code, to make the dropfilter.dll
(I've done this with different programs. VS, Autoit)2. THIS file in the source code files is the one that excludes items, and THIS file in the source code files INCLUDES items. Don't mess with the rest of the files.
(I've opened pretty much every file inside of Notepad++, and other editors, and looked around. NOT totally cryptic, I think I can make edits here no problem)3. Now, click "Here" in the ".dll building program" and tell it to "build .dll"
This is where I get the hang-up. I can't seem to get a program to make a .dll file, without errors, WITHOUT doing anything to the original source code.I have tried doing research into VS online, but making the dropfilter.dll file is a VERY specific use and all the online documentation tells you how to do other things with Virtual Studio.
(I DO want to say that I and others have gotten some help along these lines. (THANK YOU Kyromyr!!) I want to thank everyone that has posted suggestions in this and other threads. What I'm trying to say here, is that if just one person would make a unique thread, with the procedures for making edits to the dropfilter.dll, what to use to do edits, and then how to compile the .dll itself, then many people wouldn't ask so many questions, then give up trying after they hit a few road-blocks.) I bet the creator of that thread would get lots of cookies! I guarantee, that if I figure this out, I WILL make the 'edit the dropfilter' post to help out everyone else on here! Booya![/quote
damn great job on everyone who got to mess around with this before i did!
if i did, i'd have a prob with .dll extension also. i hope that this will have normal eth sacred items notification and detection added.
googling ms virtual studio right now.
