"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." - Mahatma Gandhi

Using VS2017, VS2010 wont work ( upstream fonline uses cpp14 standard )

Visual Studio 15 2017

Follow instruction and install these...

Saw many other dependancies... In a perfect world we would have the author describing or at least pointing what we need to be successful using his engine. But we aren't in a perfect world We will try to resolv them with the time.

- USE GIT LFS

Fire up a git shell

Code: [Select]

git clone https://github.com/cvet/fonline
cd fonline
git lfs fetch --all
# from there you can archive the entire fonline repo as a backup.
cd BuildScripts
set FO_ROOT=..\
set FO_BUILD_DEST=..\..\fobuild
windows.bat

- added git lfs cmd

I cannot build as my OS is an illegal copy.
I can't install SP1 which is a dep to VS15 2017...
And I guess I'll be moving stuff to Linux...

Enjoy.

Did it work for you in the end? The red part reads like sarcasm I failed building from source, from here (using visual studio 2017): https://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=30057.0

Hello SC, I'm late sorry. No I didn't. It's all written in the sarcasms...

I'm using an illegal copy from windows.

I been able to find VS10 disk iso I found on the web with some genuine KEY...

I'm working with an older revision of the SDK... you can check on the second page from "Share your work".
