[Image-Heavy]How to compile the source

[FilixXx]

Repost time, I felt it's time to just leave this here...Once again.
Well it's been time for me to create a guide on something. If you fail to compile the source from this guide, I will NOT spoonfeed/help you. You shouldn't have a server when you can't even follow a simple picture guide...
I haven't got an uploaded version of visual studio pro. Just download VS6.0 Arquitect or Enterprise edition from any popular torrent website (I can't link warez).
If this guide helped you don't forget to rep me up and like this post! It's all I ask in return for my time :)

You will need:
FlyFF Official Source
(I do not endorse the use of modified/released source versions. These tend to have backdoors/glitches and are, mostly, highly bugged. It's also better if you simply learn and code it yourself.)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 Professional version
(It MUST be Professional,enterprise or architect to work. Express versions will not work.)
Winrar
Visual C++ SP1
Doesn't matter if you already downloaded SP1 version, this must still be installed no matter what.

Once you've got them all proceed this way.

1: Extract the source on C:\SRC\



2: Go to Official Source, all and open all.sln



3: Visual c++ will now load your project.



4: Go to Tools, click Options.



5: Press Projects, VC++ Directories.



6: On the dropdown choose "Include files".



7: Create a new line



8: Add the following folders "Resource","DX_SDK","BOOST_SDK".

For example you create a new line and you have the source on C:\SRC\ so it should be "C:\SRC\Resource", "C:\SRC\Official Source\DX_SDK" and "C:\SRC\Official Source\BOOST_SDK"



In the end it should look something like this:



9:Now back to the dropdown select "Library Files" and add "C:\SRC\Official Source\Lib"



10: Press ok.

11: Right click AccountServer and choose properties.



12: On the "Use of MFC" dropdown choose "use standard windows libraries"



13: Press ok

14: Right click "Solution 'all' (8 projects) and choose properties.



15: Go to "Configuration properties" and n the dropdown choose "NoGameguard"



16: Set all to compile as Release and Neuz as NoGameguard



17: Click OK

18: Right click "Solution 'all' (8 projects')" and choose rebuild solution



19: Your source is now compiling! After all the 8 binaries are compiled go to "C:\SRC\Output" to get them.



Hopefully someone will be able to get it compiling off this. If you need VS 2003 pro, PM me.

This is the most detailed, and easiest guide to compile the source code that I have seen in a while. If people cannot get it after this, then they should just stop trying. Seriously.

What more would they need? A video tutorial?

[Jomex]

WOW didn't know that compiling source is so hard thing O_o.

Then I am advanced :DD.

Same, when i first saw this guide (i think its easy to understand, and beginner of making own server's can now make their own with this guide)

As me, i really dont know how to compile and this is the time that a person made a really easy/understandable guide to use. (I will add this in my Bookmarks as well)

Thx alot to FilixXx for making this guide, really useful (for me, idk think to others) xD

[Detox]

Seems good,

Well organized and pretty detailed. Well done!

I saw "Error 404 has just logged in" :) Oh and i liked the tutorial :D

[Improved]

It cannot get any simpler. A really nice, clean, and overall good looking tutorial.

Again if you needed this guide do some hello world tutorials.
its a tip man...

[Reimniess]

but I needed it q_q... just kidding lol xD...

sadly knowing how things go I bet this will be a lot of help to a lot of people...

Yeah, I agree

I myself have had to explain compiling the source to several people and I haven't been here nearly as long as some other people (only about a year since I started working on flyff server stuff)

Nope, not unless you emulate visual studio or port the source to another program, which are both impractical options.

Thanks alot, btw i will get difficult if i will try that? right?
