Keazain`s "Quick" Compiling Guide for "Newbs"

Quick guide for: "arcemu - ascent - heartstone - spurious" only for "Windows XP and Windows Vista"

First step: (important, only install ONE application at time)

01. install net framework 3.5
02. install visual basic c++ 2008 - this is your compiler
03. install MySql 5.0 - install this in easy way, just say yes true installation (username and password of your choice, most used "root" "ascent")
04. install TortoiseSVN



When all that is done, please restart your computer.

Now your computer have Restarted, go to next step.

Next step is:

01. Make a dir on your Desktop called "ArcEmu"
02. Right Click and click on "SVN UPDATE" put this text in to address line "http://www.arcemu.info/svn" (tortoisesvn will now download all your needed files for making a full compiling)

When all files is downloaded, your window will show you end text in form of examble: "Completed at revision 2003"

This is the core revision as examble: "ArcEmu_rev.2003"

Now we have made all our installations and completed all downloads we need.

You now have to pay attention!!!

01. go to "ArcEmu" you just downloaded all compiling files to.
02. go to "trunk" dir.
03. go to "extras" dir.
04. go to "arcemu-windows-libraries" dir
05. go to "VC" dir.
06. go to "include" dir.

07. Go to "ArcEmu\trunk\extras\arcemu-windows-libraries\include\"
08. Now copy "ALL FILES" from that dir and paste files into "ArcEmu\trunk\src\arcemu-shared\"
09. In the same dir "ArcEmu\trunk\extras\arcemu-windows-libraries\include\" you find "pcre.cpp" and "zconf.cpp" and "zlib.cpp"
10. Now copy those 3 files to following dir: "ArcEmu\trunk\src\arcemu-logonserver\" and "ArcEmu\trunk\src\arcemu-realmserver\" and "ArcEmu\trunk\src\arcemu-world\"

11. Now go to "ArcEmu\trunk\extras\arcemu-windows-libraries\Sources\"
12. Click on "VC90-zlib" (when open, go to top-window and look after scrolldown window with "Debug" change this to "Release" and go to top-link "Build" and say "Build Solution")
13. Now Click on "VC90-pcre" and do the exactly same thing like you just did in "VC90-zlib"

Now you have made some files we need. go to "ArcEmu\trunk\extras\arcemu-windows-libraries\Sources\Output_Release\" copy "zlib.lib" and "pcre.lib" to following dir:
"ArcEmu\trunk\src\arcemu-logonserver\" and "ArcEmu\trunk\src\arcemu-realmserver\" and "ArcEmu\trunk\src\arcemu-shared\" and "ArcEmu\trunk\src\arcemu-world\"

We now have everything we need to compile our "ArcEmu Core"

Now you just have to open 3 projectfiles and we are almost done.

14. Go to: "ArcEmu\trunk\win\" and click "arcemuVC90" to open projectfile "when window is open, let it stay open and go to next step"
15. Go to: "ArcEmu\trunk\src\scripts\" and click "scripts2008" "when window is open, let it stay open and go to next step"
16. Go to: "ArcEmu\trunk\src\scripts\" and click "ExtraScripts2008" "when window is open, let it stay open and go to next step"

We have now 3 windows opened and is ready for the last 3 steps.... (it`s important that you compile is this order below every time you compiling a new core)

17. First we compile "arcemuVC90" (go to top-window and look after scrolldown window with "Debug" change this to "Release" and go to top-link "Build" and say "Build Solution") Note! Let this finish before you go to next step!
18. Now we compile "scripts2008" (when open, go to top-window and look after scrolldown window with "Debug" change this to "Release" and go to top-link "Build" and say "Build Solution") Note! Let this finish before you go to next step!
19. Last we compile "ExtraScripts2008" (when open, go to top-window and look after scrolldown window with "Debug" change this to "Release" and go to top-link "Build" and say "Build Solution") Note! Let this finish before you go to next step!

When all 3 compiling are done, close all 3 windows and continue next step...

20. Make a new dir called "server" and go to next step.
21. Go to "ArcEmu\trunk\extras\arcemu-windows-libraries\DLL Files\" copy "libeay32.dll" and "libmySQL.dll" to your new dir "server"
22. Now go to "ArcEmu\trunk\bin\Release" and copy "script_bin.dir" and "arcemu-logonserver.exe" and "arcemu-world.exe" and "collision.dll" to your new dir "server"
23. And last, go to "ArcEmu\trunk\configs\" and copy the hole "configs" dir to your new "server" dir

Now you have to make "dbc" and "maps" and "vmaps" to the same new dir "server" and make shure those actuely HAVE dbc,maps and vmaps files inside. (use extractors)

You now have a completed server ready to run!

Click "arcemu-logonserver.exe" and "arcemu-world.exe" and enjoy you OWN compiled server!!!

NOTE! next time you compile do the EXACTLY same thing to compile your new core, BUT! this time we dont say "Build Solution" but "Rebuild Solution" and remember IN THE EXACTLY same order as you did the first time.
