Compiling OpenAscent

[roguesownu]

First question: Do you have to compile Open Ascent?

Second Question: If the answer to the first question is yes then, Do you compile it the same way you compile Ascent?

Last but not least it appears that Open Ascent is a "trunk" rather than a "branch". Does this mean that I need to "Get the libraries" or not? ALSO I have done that for the trunks when ascent was the "industry standard" shall i say, do I have to do this a different way now or what?

I've been away from the EMU community for a while, so coming back to find Ascent gone is a shocker :confused:

-Thanks in advanced

1) Just like any other emulator, yes you have to compile it.
2) Since it is basically just ascent under a new name.... yes.
3) Yes you need external libraries.

By the way, OpenAscent = Ascent Team - Burlex

And if you don't feel like compiling it, you can use a repack (I got a blizzlike repack for openascent coming up)

lol thats what ive been doing, just dling repacks.
and how do u get a link to say what you want instead of the website name lol im retarded

[Entr0py]

there is no ascentVC90.sln there is only ascentVC90.svnproj and it cant open that *by it i mean visual*

[guitargod218]

Wait, I have a question. Is the latest revision of normal ascent = the earliest revision of OpenAscent (Is the latest revision of Ascent the basis of OpenAscent)? A.k.a. are the OpenAscent revisions just a continuation of Ascent revisions (The latest revision of Ascent was like 4700, so is the most current revision of OpenAscent ike 5000 for normal?).

Yep, thats how it works

Oh, damn, then I really do need to switch to OpenAscent!

[Entr0py]

im still clueless on how to do this lol

[2dgreengiant]

Do you know how to compile normal ascent? (not open ascent).

[Entr0py]

no i do not lol

step 1 download tortoise svn (google it >_>)
step 2. create a folder on your desktop
step 3. right click the folder and click the button labeled svn checkout
step 4. put in the OpenAscent svn address (svn://openascent.com/openascent/trunk/)
step 5. download visual studios
step 6. http://www.openascent.com/ascent-windows-libraries.zip download and follow instructions there
step 7. go into that folder you had earlier (where you did the svn checkout) and go into trunk -> win -> ascentvc90.sln duble klik it.
step 8. go into build (its up near the top where file and such is) click configuration manager and change the drop down box from debug to release
step 9. go into build again and click build solution
step 10. go back to your openascent folder, go to trunk -> src -> scripts and duble klik scripts 2008
step 11. go into build and click configuration manager, change it from debug to release again.
step 12. go into build and hit build solution (alternatively f6)
step 13. go back into the trunk -> bin -> release and voila your exe's and scripts are there.

yea i kno, but the thing is there is no ascentvc90.sln, theres a ascentvc90.svnproj and when i try to open it it sais it cant.

[TheSpidey]

Try to checkout the source again.
