Complete Download&Compile Source Guide

[frashman]

Today i want to write a complete tutorial how to download the Realbot Source using CVS and how to compile the source with MS Visual Studio.NET (or similar)

First of all you need some things to download:

1. The Realbot Get Started Kit: http://filebase.bots-united.com/pafi...on=file&id=150
2. WinCVS (This is the program to get the source):
http://www.wincvs.org/download.html#wincvs_recommended

Now unzip the GetStarted Kit. For Example to C:\Realbot\

Next Install the WinCVS. After that go into its Install Directory in the subfolder CVSNT. Edit the protocol_map.ini. Add the following line at the end of the file:

pserver = sserver_protocol.dll

Now you can run WinCVS.

Click to Admin->Preferences and fill out the dialog like the following lines:

Authentication: pserver
Path: /home/cvsroot
Host adress: bots-united.com
Username: anonymous

Click OK. That's It!

Now make sure that you are connected to the internet. Click to Remote->Checkout modules...

Modulename and path on server: realbot
Local folder for checkout to: C:\realbot\ (for example)

Click OK and WinCVS should be download the source to this directory.


Next Step is to load it into MS Visual Studio.NET
For this you should only copy the all files from your GetStartet Directory (C:\Realbot\metamod-1.17\realbot_plugin) to your downloaded source (C:\Realbot\realbot\)

thats it. Open the project.

Before you can compile it, you need to add the correct include paths:

C:\RealBot\Metamod-1.17
C:\RealBot\hlsdk\Multiplayer source\engine
C:\RealBot\hlsdk\Multiplayer source\
C:\RealBot\hlsdk\Multiplayer source\dlls
C:\RealBot\hlsdk\Multiplayer source\common
C:\RealBot\hlsdk\Multiplayer source\pm_shared

Now Compilation should work without any problems.
Have much fun and good ideas for further Realbot Versions
