Hey guys, I am trying to compile the Blitz3D open source project but haven't been able to find Visual Studio 6 to do so. Also, I'm trying to do this on a Windows 8.1 machine. If this isn't possible anymore, I would be just as thrilled to find a how to guide on making Visual Studio 2013 Community run with DXSDK7 and thus compile the Blitz3D code. Really, I'll take any help at all! Thanks! (My end goal is to build a tool to let me load a .B3D file and export an FBX file using the FBX SDK. So if there is a tool to do this, I'd much rather use it than build another one.)

Iirc ploppy made a bunch of conversions to enable it to compile in a more modern version of VS - search the forum for more info.

As an aside, Did you encounter any pathing issues with MSVS 2013 on Windows 8.1? After changing from VS2010, all the projects were broken and the automatic conversion fails. It may be entries in the %PATH% env variable but I have no idea how to fix them.
