You can use the files in the attachment to get it running.
TBA Windows.zip
Put TbaMud.sln, TbaMud.vcxproj, TbaMud.vcxproj.filters, TbaMud.vcxproj.user in the root TbaMud folder.
Rename conf.h.win to conf.h and replace the conf.h file in <tba root folder>\src
(Edit: I'm just going to point out here that 9 months and 3 weeks after I started posting in this thread, I worked out how to get TBA running on Windows 8.1 using Visual Studio. If this is what you're trying to do, check out my new thread if you haven't seen it already:

)
My computer broke down so I'm trying to get running on another computer and thought I'd try this. However, my problem, as always, is that I don't know anything about this. I downloaded the VS and the zip (there seems to be 2 zips there but they have the same things in them?) and followed the instructions in README.MSVC8. The only problem I had was in step 3: Select "Win32 Console Application." but used Console Application.
As the README says, I put all the .h files into HEADER FILES and all the .c files into SOURCE FILES. When I tried to build it, I got 74 errors that look like this:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error C1010 unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "stdafx.h"' to your source?
The main window looks like this:
Code:
// Circle.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
int main()
{
return 0;
}
In SOLUTION EXPLORER my .h files have stdafx.h and my .c files have stdafx.cpp although I can't see either of those in my physical files. Am I supposed to put that in all my .c files? It isn't in there.
Thanks for all the help given so far and any help you can give me now.
