:Preperations:
For this guide you need the following softwares
SmartSVN
Eclipse
Java Developement Kit
Note: It doesnt matter where you install any of these.
:Step I:
Install all of the softwares.
Just extract eclipse where ever you want.
But dont loose it incase you need to re-compile, or if a new rev is released.
Install SmartSVN.
Install JDK(Java Developement Kit).
When all of this is done then your ready to proceed to :Step II:
:Step II:
I can guarantee that its not going to be complicated.
Open SmartSVN.
When you open SmartSVN you should be promted with this window:
Press OK.
The window should now look like this:
And as the image says.
Put aion-emu - Revision 572: / where it says URL
and your Destinated Folder where it says Local Directory.
And the press Next.
The window should now look like this.
Just Press Finish.
And now it should begin "downloading" the core from the site.
When its done it should look something like this.
Note that now your able to see directories now, aswell as files.
When your done with all of this then your able to proceed to :Step III:
:Step III:
You should now have some new files on your harddrive. The once that you downloaded.
For me the files are in C:\Program Files\Aion SVN.
So go there.
It should look like this in the folder.
Dont get a panic attack if you cant see the .svn folder. You've done nothing wrong.
If you cant see the folder then you havent enabled "Show hidden folders".
I will not explain how to do this, since its not necessary.
Navigate to. Trunk> AE LoginServer
Make sure that theres a file in there called build.xml
Navigate to. Trunk> AE GameServer
Make sure that theres a file in there called build.xml
Navigate to. Trunk> AE_Commons
Make sure that theres a file in there called build.xml
When youve done this then your ready to start compiling.
If youve done all this then your able to proceed to :Step IV:
:Step IV:
Open Eclipse.
You should be prompted with this window.
It doesnt really matter where the workspace is.
But if your not really in to this then you should just go with the default one.
Press OK.
Navigate to File> Open File.
Go to your SVN folder. In my case: C:\Program Files\Aion SVN
Navigate to Trunk> AE LoginServer.
Click at build.xml.
If nothing appears when you do this then double click beside the Welcome Tab.
A new tab should appear. It should be called build.xml.
If youve done all this then your able to proceed to :Step V:
:Step V:
Navigate to Window> Preferences
Navigate to Ant> Runtime
Press Global Entries
And then Press Add External JARs.
Go to the folder where your Java is installed. In my case C:\Program Files\Java
In that folder there may be several folders or just one.
Press the one that says jreX
X being a number.
Example: jre4 (thats where i found my file)
Navigate to lib
And in there find tools.jar.
If you cant find it then pick another folder.
Press OK.
Navigate to Run>Run
You should get prompted with a window.
Press Ant Build.
This will start compiling the file.
When the compiling the "Console" window should look like this:
When your done compiling LoginServer then just repeat step iv-step v.
The only thing your going to do different is to choose another file.
Instead of choosing the build.xml file in the AE LoginServer, you will now compile the build.xml file in the AE_GameServer folder and AE_Commons folder.
When your done with all of this you may proceed to :Step VI:
:Step VI:
When you've reached this step you should have your Core Compiled.
Ill be updating this thread later.
