You mean the files with login gate, sell gate and all that? To me that's definition of hard, nerdy. On several occasions in past, I tried them when they were offered for download and with guide how to run them and I always failed at it miserably LOL

The current files are completely different but even I could always run them, at least when binaries were provided. And if you need help, you will get it with these files but likely not with those old files or if yes, it would likely turn up to be useless help anyway.

If you can't set these files up after downloading them I wouldn't bother . They're infinitely easier than the older files.

well i thought i would have a quick look into it i downloaded visual studio 2022. this is where im stuck already lol.

i have opened Mir2-master file then clicked the file legend of mir then visual studio loads up. then in the top right it comes up with the files


Solution 'Legend of Mir' (0 of 9 projects)
Notes
Utils
Client (unloaded)
Server (unloaded)
Server.Labray (unloaded)
Shared (unladed)

i click project then go down to client properties then a box comes up and says there are no property pages for the selection.

any idea what this is?

thanks guys.

You can go easy way and download compiled files from here
Than you need to download database, drop it in server and run the client autopatch, then copy maps from client into the maps folder in server dir and you are almost ready....
might need to go to server panel, Config menu, Server... either locate where mirclient.exe is or uncheck the radio button or copy client.exe into the server directory. I think it is set for local IP connection by default.

I got VS this spring and it was v2019, possibly your problem might be due to too high VS version?

It'll have given you a message of why it can't load the projects. Probably you don't have c# or .net installed

On the right there's a message. You've not installed all the c# and .net components.

There's no need to edit the source anyway. As suggested above, just download the prebuilt release files if you want to run a server
