For this guide i will use Saga Revised Rev54 and Compile it with Visual C# 2008 Express Edition which is free to download (google it).
Step 1: Obtaining Server Files From SVN.
After installing TurtoiseSVN (which i recommend to use) rightclick on your Desktop and select this option:
![Mausie - [Guide] Compiling with Visual C# (Saga Revised) - RaGEZONE Forums](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 "Mausie - [Guide] Compiling with Visual C# (Saga Revised) - RaGEZONE Forums")
Now it will ask you for the SVN address to download from and a destination where to download the files to.
Your dialog should look something like this:
Just click the fancy [OK] button and wait for your files to be downloaded.
Step 2: Compiling the files using Visual C#
For people that never worked with C# or C++ before...
The main file you have to open is the so called "Solution" file.
Solution files are the files with the *.sln extension.
As you might see, this version of Saga Revised has 2 Solution files.
If you're not sure which one you should use, pick "SagaRevisided_Visual Studio 2008 Express.sln"
Now Visual C# will load the Solution.
If you are curious about how it works....
A solution file is like a book's cover.
Its basically a main file that contains all the source scripts.
Opening the solution will load the complete project.
Now your Visual C# screen should look something like this:
At the moment i assume all you want to do is compile it, so we wont change anything in the source now.
All you have to do now is click Build > Build Solution.
Or if you're REALLY lazy, you can also press F6.
It will now build your solution.
Note: Receiving "Warnings" will most likely not harm your build. You should only be worried if u get any "Errors" during your build.
If you did everything right you might get a few warnings the first time, but no errors.
Now do the same process for Abstraction/Saga.Data.sln and Tools/Saga.Tools.sln.
This is basically how you compile Saga Revised.
