How to compile ascent

[Viter]

I know there is alot of guides how to compile ascent but this is mine ^^

First get Tortoise
SourceForge.net: Downloading ...

then get Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 from here:
Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions

Then get .NET framework from here:
Download details: .NET Framework 3.5

make a folder called compiles (ore what ever you want)
Right click on it and click SVN checkout
in the url thing write:
http://mmoforge.org/svn/ascent/trunk/
click okay
username is: anonymous
pass: (blank) <--- so there is no pass
when its done open Visual C++
if you made the folder called compiles on desktop then open this file: (in visual c++)
C:\Users\USER\Desktop\Compiles\win\ascentVC90
click on build at the top and click Configuration Manager.
In the list select Release.
Click ok and click F8
when its done look in:
C:\Users\USER\Desktop\Compiles\bin\Release
there should ascent be.

Now for compiling scripts:
Open C:\Users\USER\Desktop\Compiles\src\scripts (in visual c++)
Do the same as above.
now when you are done it should be here:
C:\Users\Viter\Desktop\Compiles\bin\Release\script_bin

Gz you learned how to compile ascent.

(if you think its hard then just use my ascent compiles )

[Viter]

Ill download your ascent cores :P

Lol (space filler)

Please move this to guides

[Tankotron]

Could you post a guide on how to compile it with patches? Like the Illidan fix?

[Viter]

patches? if you want a script then make a folder in ascent and call it scripts
put the scrip in there.

[Viter]

Is this MMLeach what do you guys think about it?

Ive followed your guide to compile Ascent myself, and I get the same problem when I use your builds, perhaps you can help me as Im not sure what is going wrong - Im not saying it's your fault! Its probably something that I am doing.

I build ascent fine, or download your latest version. I use the latest NCDB, and the accounts.sql you have posted in your other thread too.

Ascent and Loginserver start up fine, no errors, I can log in and create a character, but after I confirm the character I have made (and it takes you to the character select screen) the character doesnt appear! I can make several accounts, and they all have the same problem. Whenever I create a character, it isnt saved.

Ascent and logonserver are talking to each other fine, as I can login, but it just wont save my character.

Suggestions please! And +rep if you figure it out

/edit - Ive just read the faq and it might be because of an outdated accounts table. Im definately saving it to the right database lol Oh well, nevermind I guess.

Good you fixed it

[Steph]

It's not fixed, it's just a possible problem, the issue is still there. What it does mean is that its probably not to do with your compiles, but the account information. If anyone has a newer accounts.sql please share !

Great guide, helped a lot

i had this problem. I was missing a table in account.SQL

CREATE TABLE `guild_data` (
  `guildid` int(30) NOT NULL,
  `playerid` int(30) NOT NULL,
  `guildRank` int(30) NOT NULL,
  `publicNote` varchar(300) NOT NULL,
  `officerNote` varchar(300) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

not sure if thats wut ur missing or not =X

In my ascent compiles get the sql fixes.
and execute the sql fixes you need

[Bloop]

didnt know if stephtorrent knew that or not.

anyhow, do u have lua enabled or w/e? I wanna mess around with scripts but no1 that compiles enables LUA =[

[Wheeze201]

Does this guide compile the ascent that you use in your repack ?
