Upgrading source vs2003 to vs2017

I decided to upgrade my source file from vs2003 to vs2017 which uses direct X as game engine. After compiling all the solution I encountered these problems. It says the library errors are ggsrvlib26_MT.lib, lua.lib, d3dx9dt.lib, dxerr9.lib, N4GamesLib4.lib.

The first thing that needs changing is to replace d3dx9t.lib with d3dx9.lib.

I suspect you'll also need a new / recompiled version of the other libraries like lua.lib that are compatible with VS 2017's CRT.

You also want to fix the compile error in worldserver.cpp, but it's hard to guess at what's wrong without seeing the code.
