Hi MMOwned Members!
I am going to Teach you the Simplest Way to Compile a Server!
Step 1!
To compile the Any Emulator, you will need the following Programs:
SVN Handler, I recommend TortoiseSVN: tortoisesvn.tigris.org
A compiling Program, I use Microsoft Visual C++: http:// http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/
once these 2 programs have been installed an are ready for use, please continue
step 2. Getting Your Source Files!
Create a New Folder On your Computer
Prefferably something easy like " Aspire Source " or something.
Next, You will need an SVN Adress, i will not post it in here in the guide so leechers dont abuse.
But Anyone with a simple Brain an Google Can Find Aspire SVN Adress.
step 3. Downloading your source
Right Click your New Aspire Source Folder An Press " SVN Checkout "
It Will Have an Empty URL Bar, Here is where you put in the SVN Adress.
Next Click " OK " ab the Sources will proceed to download unless your SVN URL is Wrong.
Step 3.1 While your Waiting
Depending if your core is " Stable " or a " Trunk "
