[Release] iRose arcturus *cleaned up build*

[lazypenguin]

It occurred to me that not everyone hangs out on the gitter so I thought I would post it here as well. I recently made the effort to clean up the arcturus irose sources to make them easier to build. I am not currently working on these sources and have no plans to continue work on them but it did take some effort to clean up so maybe someone else can benefit.

Special thanks to Neanne for grinding through the ODBC issues with me and thanks to Elyntra for giving me the reason at the time to do this.

Thanks to Raven123 for the first pull request and whoever collected these thirdparty deps in the past.

iROSE source code
This is the original source code used to run the international rose server. It's been around and what not so who knows what has been added to it over the years. I only fixed up the build system and some things in the client.

A safe base for anyone who wants to work on Artcurus.
Great work, have a sticky.

Though if you use these sources you'll have at least 3 dupe exploits on your server and a million ways to crash the server.

Only a million?

6/9/2018: Played around with this source again. Made some small improvements and began a new "cleanup" branch. This code is so dirty that it'll probably take 10 years to get it a usable state but it's fun to go through and chop out things. Still don't have any plans for the code, I just get spurts of energy to tinker with it from time to time. Main changes in master:

[*] Remove nvtristrip dependency
[*] Upgrade to vs2017 (v141 build tools)
[*] [Cleanup branch] Something like 11,000 loc removed and counting...

Which version of SQL Server is required to build the databases ??

[deivares]

I've never heard about SQL Server 2003 lolz .. Just 2000, 2005, 2008 and 2008 R2 until 2017 .. But never about 2003 lolz .. Are you sure about SQL Server 2003 ??

[deivares]

Anyway, I'm using SQL Server 2005 and it's working fine. Thanks for the answer !!

Using this source is possible to edit/create the UI/GUI ?? Add 2nd skill bar or change the skill bar's hotkey to F1 - F12 ?? I'd like to know it before starting work deeply and strongly with this source.

Using this source it is possible to do anything the original creators did.
This is a full source
You will obviously need editors for all the files such as TSI, XML and whatever to make and implement new GUI elements but everything is possible

Thank you very much my dear level 50 Muse for the answer. Now I'll work hard on it. One last question, is it possible "mix" this source with a Evo source in order to do a "hybrid" client ??
