What engine do you try to compile?
vcpkg pretty fast lose possibility to build it's C++ libraries (few months, up to 2 years, then download links die). If you are trying to compile some old engine, you must keep old vcpkg directory copy.

I'm just trying to compile my tfs 1.5, do you have a working vcpkg link to send me?

Tfs 1.5 should work with the forgottenserver github vcpkg. Do a fresh install Compiling on Windows (vcpkg) (https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/wiki/Compiling-on-Windows-%28vcpkg%29)

There is no 'working vcpkg link'. You need to use exact version of vcpkg for your engine.

Right now there are 23596 vcpkg versions and you must know which one is required by your engine to compile.
On new engines there are vcpkg.json files with required version for given TFS commit:

forgottenserver/vcpkg.json at master · otland/forgottenserver

A free and open-source MMORPG server emulator written in C++ - otland/forgottenserver

github.com

ex. 215a2535590f1f63788ac9bd2ed58ad15e6afdff

If you don't know vcpkg commit for your engine, all you can do is to download some vcpkg version by date with date similar to your engine release (dates are in "Tags" on vcpkg github site) and try to compile using it. If it fails, get another version and try again.



If you don't have fast PC and few hours/days to find vcpkg version that works with your engine, you can just move to Linux. TFS compiles on Linux with system libraries - you don't need vcpkg. Ubuntu 22.04 should be compatible with TFS 1.5.

I reinstalled everything now I only have this error at compilation time, it seems like progress haha, any tips on how to solve this?

My PC is actually very weak and slow, things around here aren't very good ($$$) I'm barking in the yard to save the dog hahaha

but in fact I now only have this error:
Error C1083 Cannot open file include: 'cryptopp/rsa.h': No such file or directory Cold Souls TFS 1.5 C:\Users\danie\Desktop\Cold Planet\cold souls\Source Silver\src\rsa.h 23 Is there any way to fix this? thanks

If you followed newest TFS vcpkg compliation instruction there is no Crypto++ library, as it was replaced in TFS 1.6 with OpenSSL library few months ago. For TFS 1.5 you probably need older version of instruction ex. (it's 1 version before "Changed build settings from crypto++ to openssl" - History for Compiling on Windows (vcpkg) · otland/forgottenserver Wiki (https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/wiki/Compiling-on-Windows-(vcpkg)/_history) ):

Compiling on Windows (vcpkg)

A free and open-source MMORPG server emulator written in C++ - otland/forgottenserver

github.com

There in vcpkg libraries instruction for x64 is:

.\vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows boost-iostreams boost-asio boost-system boost-variant boost-lockfree boost-locale luajit libmariadb pugixml cryptopp fmt

which contains cryptopp.

If only Crypto++ is missing, you can run in vcpkg folder:

.\vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows cryptopp

and then try to compile TFS again (Visual Studio restart may be required).
