Hi,

I need a volunteer to create an instructions for newcomer programmers on how to get started. We would put that text on the website and it will save us time to retype it everytime.

Anyone volunteers? Post your text here, so everyone can review it and fix any issues.

Here is the first shot:

1. Contact admin to make you a recruit.
2. Read through the forums on [url="http://www.xcomufo.com/forums"]http://www.xcomufo.com/forums[/url]
3. Read through the programming mailing list.
4. Download OGRE from [url="http://www.ogre3d.org/"]http://www.ogre3d.org/[/url] and compile it.
5. Create environment variable %OGRE% and point it to <more info later>.
6. Extract the latest version of Xenocide from CVS at [url="http://www.SourceForge.net/projects/xenocide"]http://www.SourceForge.net/projects/xenocide[/url].
7. Create environment variable %XENOCIDE% and point to the directory where you extracted Xenocide files from CVS.
8. Use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 to compile OGRE and Xenocide.
9. Enjoy. Edited by mamutas

One very important thing to add for step 6: (from someone who just went through it :) )

Follow these instructions:
[url="http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2859"]http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2859[/url]

BUT,

for the CVSROOT string:

:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/xenocide/

There should NOT be a slash on the end, so we should actually use:

:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/xenocide

Then everything will work well with CVS.

The VS.Net projects is already setted up for you. You just have to download the devpack.net2003 module from the CVS and the dependencies pack from:

[url="http://www.projectxenocide.com/redknight/Source/devpack.net2003.zip"]http://www.projectxenocide.com/redknight/S...ack.net2003.zip[/url]

Decompress it and there you go.

the solution is on devpack.net2003\compiler

Greetings
Red Knight
