[Guide] Recompiling with Windows (Visual C++), A Basic Guide

A lot of players today are not familiar with recompiling. Recompiling is never hard. It’s actually easy. I’ll provide a step-by-step process, provided with images on how to recompile. There are many guides there to follow. I’m just contributing a basic guide on how to do this, and this mainly for the Filipino players who needs to know how to recompile.

PLEASE DOWNLOAD VISUAL C++ 2008 INSTEAD, IF YOU ARE ENCOUNTERING ERRORS IN VISUAL C++ 2010

Download Link to Visual C++ (2008): Here

For the installation, it is the same, so no need to worry 

DOWNLOADING & INSTALLING VISUAL C++

1. First, download Visual C++ by going to this link: (Click Here)

2. Click “Free Download: Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition.”

3. Click “Visual C++ 2010 Express,” then choose the “English” language. (Unless you understand other languages)

4. After downloading, run the program. (It’s currently vc_web.exe)

5. The installation process is smooth and not really hard. The installer is actually a “downloader” and it will download a large sum of files in order for the Visual C++ to be completely installed on your system.

There will be no more images on some of this part but I’ll guide you anyway so you will not be lost.

6. It will prompt you about “Help Improve Setup.” It’s upto you whether to check it or not.

7. Click “I have read and accept the license terms” (Well, I know you don’t actually read those, because I don’t.) then click Next.

8. It might ask you to install optional stuffs like on the image below. Uncheck them both. Then continue with the installation.

9. It will prompt you to the destination folder to be installed. Just click [Install >] anyway.

10. Sometimes, it will prompt that you need to restart your computer even the setup isn’t finishes. It’s actually alright. Restart anyway. After your computer is turned on again after the restart, it will continue its setup again.

11. When the setup is done, it will state that Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express has been installed successfully. Click EXIT.

RECOMPILING YOUR SERVER

1. After editing your source files (I am not guiding you here on editing your source files.), we are now ready to recompile.

2. Go to your main server folder and open “eAthena – 10.” (NOTE: If you do not have eAthena-10, you can open eAthena-9)

 Reduced: 95% of original size [ 753 x 495 ] – Click to view full image

3. It will prompt you to choose between “Visual C++ Express 2010” and “Visual C++ Express 10.” Choose Visual C++ Express 2010

4. It will take some time to open. Wait for the Visual C++ to open.

5. After opening the program (and the program is already opened), you will now be on this interface:

 Reduced: 91% of original size [ 790 x 475 ] – Click to view full image

6. Now, select char-server_sql, login-server_sql, map-server_sql all at once. You may do it by pressing CTRL on your keyboard then click those three. (If you’re not using an SQL SVN, then select: char-server_txt, login-server_txt, map-server_txt)

7. After selecting them, RIGHT CLICK one of them then select, REBUILD SELECTION.

 Reduced: 94% of original size [ 764 x 456 ] – Click to view full image

8. Wait as the program is rebuilding (recompiling) your server. You must see this on the lower portion of Visual C++:

 Reduced: 85% of original size [ 847 x 193 ] – Click to view full image

9. It will now say that the rebuild succeeded and stuff. Meaning, your server is now recompiled. If you will be changing your SRC again, you need to RECOMPILE again.
