Compiling on Windows QUESTIONS.

[Fabri]

Hello everyone.

I found this awesome project today. I really would like to help in anyway i could. I'm not a professional programmer but i can help testing or creating tutorials or something.

But i have some questions about compiling on windows tutorial:

1- i followed the tutorial and with no erros
2- Code Blocks created 3 files for me: otclinet.map, otclient.exe and lobotclient.dll.a with no erros on logs

What i should do now to test this client?

It's all new for me, i'm not a developer, so i'm a little confusing.

I really wanna support this project. I think this project it's the most exciting thing happening on the entire OT community.

Just move otclient.exe to the otclient-master directory that you have downloaded from Github, then go to modules/game_tibiafiles and create a new directory named after a client version for example '860' then go to your Tibia 8.6 installation for example 'C:\Program Files\Tibia' and then copy Tibia.spr and Tibia.dat to 860 directory that you just created and then start otclient.exe where you can select 8.60 and login.

Thanks Xenios.

I tried to compile and happens exactly like you Fabri, but when I open the client, appears a error message like "The otclient.exe encountered a problem and needs to be closed.".
Can someone helps me in this to? Thanks to all.


Regards,
River.

Can you describe your problem more precisely?
I had something like APPCRASH(Send/don't send) i was trying everything and at last I installed pure system as virtual machine, compile the source code exactly like here: tutorial and its work.

Edit: if u want to I can upload the newest compilation of otclient for you.
