swfotefuss compile help

Well it did not come with a Makefile.Cygwin...and whenever I did type make...It would say no targets...then i would do make swfotefuss it says target has no rule...or something like that. Help please

ok...i compiled it...but..Now its unable to read the area list?

How are you running it? Make sure you're running it correctly.

dbl clicking the swr.exe file

You're not using Cygwin? You should be running it in Cygwin. There should be a readme saying how to run it.

ok...i tried ./startup but it says the file is not there? How do I fix this.

Are you trying that in the right directory? (src)

Ok! I can run it now...but whenever I edit a pfile...It scrambles up the password. Locking me out of that character. And when I try to change the password. It does nothing.

Passwords are encrypted, you cannot edit them by the file. Why are you editing a pfile? You should be able to log in normally to the default admin.

well...how do i give him force abilities? Without editing.

No idea, never used SWFOTE. Try looking through the code. Maybe mset does it. If it doesn't, it shouldn't be hard to code mset to do it.

Well...I suck at coding...and mset does not set that kind of thing. Could you try making a code for it?

What are you trying to set? Is it a variable? What's it called?

Editing the pfile shouldn't change the password. If you leave the password line alone it should stay the same.

Well...Just every force object...Like the alignment...which can be done on game...But like type of force and stuff like that.

I think it depends on the editor being used, sometimes certain ones can corrupt a string in a file when saving since it is in MD5 (or whatever the new encryption is now).

soo...Can you give me a certain editor that wont?

Hm, www.crimsoneditor.com should be fine.

I agree with Nick. Something weird is happening here. Opening a file and saving it should not affect its contents beyond whatever modifications you made. I'm not sure why an editor would break any saved passwords, whether they're encrypted in ROT13, hashed with MD5, or whatever. I don't think the editor is the problem, chances are something else is going on.

Ok everything is fine now...except force stuff. When I sense someone for the force and they have it. Nothing happens for them. Help?

Also if they have the force I cannot apprentice them

I really have no idea, but I assume you can look over the code and see what it's checking for. Learning to read code isn't that hard.

Hmm...I cant really find the code for it...

If you cannot apprentice them, try searching for the error message you get in the code.
