[Tutorial] Compiling an ArcEmu Core

I am going to explain you How To Compile an ArcEmu Core .

We need the following programs :

Tortoise SVN
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

=========================================================

1. Make a new folder on desktop (call it what you wish)

2. Right Click on the folder and click on SVN Checkout

3. Where is URL put [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and click ok ... this will get you all files you need for compiling the core.

5. Open \trunk\extras\arcemu-windows-libraries folder.

6. If you are running a 32-bit, then go into the folder titled "DLL Files". If you are running 64-bit, go into the folder titled "DLL Files x64".

7. Copy these files.

8. Then paste that files in your System32 (default location ... C:/Windows/System32)

9. Now goto trunk/extras/arcemu-windows-libraries/VC/include.

10. Copy these files , then make a new folder named VC/include in Microsoft Visual Studio folder , and paste the files there.

11. Now goto trunk/extras/arcemu-windows-libraries/VC/lib, and copy these files.

12. Go back to the Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC folder, and paste them in here.

These steps above are 1-time processes. After your first compile, you no longer need to do these steps. Now onto the compiling part.

13. Now, goto trunk/win, and open arcemuVC90.sln with Microsoft Visual C++

14. Click on "Build" at the top, and click on "Configure Build"

15. Change "Debug" to Release at the top, and click on close.

16. Then Right-Click on the top(Main Solution) on the left side of the screen titled "Solution 'arcemuVC90' (6 project....) and click on "Build Solution".

17. Wait for that to finisH.

18. Then, goto trunk/src/scripts and open Scripts2008.sln. And repeat the steps listed above to build these. Make sure you change them to Release following the steps above.

19. After this, in trunk/src/scripts, open Extrascripts2008.sln and do the same.

=====================================================

You have now compiled your core. Now go to this directory trunk/bin/release and copy and paste the arcemu-world.exe, arcemu-logonserver.exe, collision.dll, and script_bin ONLY. These are the files that you will need to put in your server.

=====================================================

sweet, thanks.
