[Guide] Recompiling with Windows (Visual C++), A Basic Guide

[glemor123]

A lot of players today are not familiar with recompiling. Recompiling is never hard. It's actually easy. I'll provide a step-by-step process, provided with images on how to recompile. There are many guides there to follow. I'm just contributing a basic guide on how to do this, and this mainly for the Filipino players who needs to know how to recompile.

RECOMPILING YOUR SERVER
1. After editing your source files (I am not guiding you here on editing your source files.), we are now ready to recompile.

2. Go to your main server folder and open "eAthena - 10." (NOTE: If you do not have eAthena-10, you can open eAthena-9)

3. It will prompt you to choose between "Visual C++ Express 2010" and "Visual C++ Express 10." Choose Visual C++ Express 2010

4. It will take some time to open. Wait for the Visual C++ to open.

5. After opening the program (and the program is already opened), you will now be on this interface:

6. Now, select char-server_sql, login-server_sql, map-server_sql all at once. You may do it by pressing CTRL on your keyboard then click those three. (If you're not using an SQL SVN, then select: char-server_txt, login-server_txt, map-server_txt)

7. After selecting them, RIGHT CLICK one of them then select, REBUILD SELECTION.

8. Wait as the program is rebuilding (recompiling) your server. You must see this on the lower portion of Visual C++:

9. It will now say that the rebuild succeeded and stuff. Meaning, your server is now recompiled. If you will be changing your SRC again, you need to RECOMPILE again.
