The source code was released on 28th January 2008.
Compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 6 which requires the Microsoft Platform SDK.
- Parts of the SDK which are required:
- Microsoft Windows Core SDK -> Build Environment -> Build Environment (x86 32-bit)
- Microsoft Web Workshop (IE) SDK -> Build Environment
- After installing the SDK add the following directories to Visual Studio (Tools -> Options -> Directories) at the top of the list:
- Include files: \Platform SDK (R2)\Include
- Library files: \Platform SDK (R2)\Lib
- Aggressive Optimizations: Quest for a smaller EXE size.
- DOS Stub: The 120 byte standard stub is far too big, the tiny one is 64 bytes which leaves room to use the extra bytes for something interesting.
- Windows Hook without external DLL: Usually an external DLL is required for windows hooks however this is not the case.
- During the release compile there's a bunch of warnings which can be safely ignored, they're part of making the smallest EXE possible.
- The "Enter rcon password" icon is an Archon from Blizzard's Starcraft with a padlock from Windows XP. Archon..rcon.. Geddit? Ha ha!
- As for the main icon, don't ask what icon you should use on IRC, ever. This is possibly where it's from.
