Dumb question about editing C++ files...

[bergamoth]

So.. Dumb me is dumb and i'm editing the cpp files in srv, but i noticed that the changes dont apply to the game after a simples notepad++ editing.

What is the step i'm missing? After editing those scripts, do i need to compile the server again? How do i make the changes stick?

after every src edit u have to compile the server/client again

Yeah the c/c++ source files are for the actual server application that controls backend in-game interactions and connectivity. Since it's an application, each source edit, you must recompile in order for it to work.

The Lua / XML files pretty much encompass the in-game functionality of things defined in c/c++ source files. These are scripts and not source code, so they are not compiled.

An example would be like, you make the "Poison" condition in c/c++ which triggers you being "poisoned". Without adding in Lua functionality, the "poison" would just be a condition and you wouldn't take any damage, but the "poisoned" icon will still show in your character screen.

Source = Create the program.
Script = Control the program.
