Compiling OTClient's latest source with Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.

[dominique120]

If you have time would you like to compile for me? Feels like i am going to give up forever.

Get one of Summs nightlies from the OTClient board.

To bad you gave up. You are really close. I suggest you practice and study the TFS 1.x tutorial, then this one, then the one for Remere's map editor. After this you will master the compiling for stuff thats on this site

haha Where can i find the OTclient board. XD
I found the board but the client was outdated it was only support 10.76 i use 10.77

I have problem compiling it... I have tried with Boost 1.55, 1.56, 1.58 and all time I have those errors:

Any solutions?


Solved
I have installed Boost 1.57 through installer. Then in Boost_1_57_0 folder created include folder and dropped there boost folder.
Also in Additional linker have added + lib32-msvc-12.0.

Me & my team successfully compile it using the official tutorial in the github
https://github.com/edubart/otclient/wiki/Compiling-on-Windows

but actualy, the last compilation just send me this error when i try to run the client:

Can you tell me how to fix it & how to change the ip address of the client?


Thanks a lot in advance

You are missing the client data. You can find it on the github here.

PS:

Move this otclient.exe to folder with data folder, mods folder and modules folder. Also, don't forget about dlls.

Doesn't work

Move this otclient.exe to folder with data folder, mods folder and modules folder. Also, don't forget about dlls.

i move the three folders, first just the Data one from the tibia-master to the folder where is the otclient.exe, but doesn't work, then i add mods & modules to the folder where is the otclient.exe, but still doesnt work and the error is the same one, it persist

Can be more clear about what .dll's are and where they are?

any another solution to this problem?


Thanks in advance

First post:

9. Now you have your EXE, get the dlls here.

 

[Obsdark]

i try to add the "Dlls", the folder with all the dlls to the otclient folder, but doesn't work, i also try to take the dll's out of the folder and place it in the same folder than otclient.exe, but doesn't work either

The error continue beeing the same.

did i need to change the name of the folder to something? in that case, to what for?

or is something else than it's not working?


Thanks in advance

You did not follow the tutorial to the letter.

I GOT A QUESTION:
How can I turn off sound compilation (like I can in cmake-gui for codeblocks)?
[I got other problem. I cannot compile any OTClient in codeblocks after I made new project by 'cmake-gui', linking fails always]

Doesn't work

This error means that otclient did not find file 'init.lua' in folder with .exe file. This file is required to let OTClient find 'in what folder im right now'. Without that it does not load data/modules.
All other errors that may appear in useage (there is init.lua, but client does not start without any reason you can find in file 'otclient.log' [it will appear in folder with .exe when they occur any error after 'init.lua').
File otclient.rc is also required to start client.


EDIT:
Compilation in VS is fast, but linking takes a lot of time, even when it goes on 4 cores...

EDIT 2:
I fixed my CodeBlocks [VS otclient libs or forgottenserver libs installation broken my CodeBlocks project - tried to use boost 1.57 in place of 1.55 from MinGW directory].
I just had to change 'Boost_DIR' to 'Boost_DIR-NOTFOUND' in cmake-gui.exe advanced options to make it work again.
I can again build my OTClient in 90 seconds!

In pre-processor definitions remove "FW_SOUND"

how can i get libboost_thread-vc120-mt-1_59.lib and other latest lib's?

 

[PeteZa]

Is there a way to compile it for version 10.41?
Do I just change the sources to that version or is there something else I need to do aswell?

New problem

Did you try to fix directories or/and update to a newer boost version for 32 bits
