You could either use the precompiled binaries, which will still be compatible with WinXP, or compile yourself using MinGW.

As far as I know @STR_Warrior has VS2013, he just prefers VS2008. SO its just a matter of giving him reasons to use the new one.

I used to have VS2012 and I hated it, but VS2013 was a huge improvement. I have no problem in using VS2013 over VS2008.

After spending a bit of time on tonibm19's survival server, I have to say that MCS is currently incapable of providing any real survival gameplay experience. There's an issue with hunger, which seems to sometimes grow one drumstick per block walked. There's an issue with mob AI mostly missing. There's an issue with mobs making no noises and thus sneaking up on players, creepy little bummers. There's an issue with mobs teleporting randomly as the AI changes direction. There's an issue with being unable to reload permissions, the server has to be restarted if a player gets or loses a permission.
Unfortunately we don't have the resources to fix most of these soon enough. We're still fighting with the basics on keeping the multithreaded server deadlock-free and still running and not crashing every now and then.
