well, i'm new to the program and wanted to mess around with the MMO source code i bought. I'm a little confused as to how I'm suppose to get this to work (as in just set up for editing and such), i've read the directions and such and was wondering if anyone else could give a more detailed explanation or link to help me out!
'Installation:
Extract the Game Data and Sources to the same folder on your disk
Copy the "engine.pak" file from "SDK\Data" to "Esenthel MMO\Data"
Copy all Physx Dll's from "SDK\Installation\PhysX" to "Esenthel MMO\Bin"
Run the SDK Editor, change Data Path to "Esenthel MMO\Data", load and rebuild the worlds
Run the Visual Studio Project and recompile the codes'
^thats the default directions....obviously not stupid-proof, as i can't get it all to work!
FIRST POST BE NICE!
Thanks in advance <3
I've downloaded the SDK and made a few maps with the demo character and played around with it a bit. Its just putting the files from the purchased MMO source code into my files and having it work.....I guess i just need a more detailed description of the direction that are given.
I'm a young flash programmer and have always dreamed of making an MMo or a MOBA type of game. Anyhooo...if you or anyone could help i'd really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for getting back to me!
I am pretty much having trouble with the last 2 steps honestly.
>Run the SDK Editor, change Data Path to "Esenthel MMO\Data", load and rebuild the worlds

When i change the data path...all my textures go away and such >.< and rebuilding doesn't seem to do much to my now pale world. I have Visual Studio....but lack the knowledge on how to exactly 'recompile the codes'. Thanks so much Esenthel and Aceio, it means a lot to get feedback and some help! When i become more familiar with the program and such, i'll be sure to spread this love around to others who need help!
I'm off work. I'm download the source now.
Ok, I was able to get it to work. I am fairly new to programing. I am going to post up a crud video for you to see how I did it.

Ok, here is brief video on what I did to get the MMO demo to compile. I pretty much following the instructions off the MMO section. Please feel free to leave comments. Post up if this doesn't help you.

Sorry for my weird hours, had to rush a project for a friend >.<
No problem. I have weird hours too. I work full time. Go to school full time so I don't get to check the forums as much as I would like.

Hello again! Ran into a slight problem when compiling the code >.<
I was wondering if i could bother you with this one more time http://puu.sh/1JEoJ
Found this, it's most likely a problem on my end, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814701

It's saying it can't find the header files for the engine. Look here and make sure you have them in this folder structure. If you are still having issues can you take a screen shot for your folder structure??

I already post in anoather tread ... so I just copy and paste my step to build mmo source code
first ... make sure you already instal VS C++ and MS SQL Server
I am using VS C++ Express edition and MS SQL Server Express Edition
( becouse free >_< )
2. unzip Esenthel MMO.rar and Esental MMO data.7z in the same folder
3.copy engine.sdk from esenthel engine sdk/data directory to esenthel MMO\Data
4. copy all file from EsenthelEngineSDK\Installation\PhysX to esenthel MMO\bin
5.copy folder essenthelengine from \EsenthelEngineSDK\Installation to esenthel MMO\instalation
6. copy EsenthelEngine.lib from \EsenthelEngineSDK\Installation to esenthel MMO\Projects\Server and esenthel MMO\Projects\Client
7. open "Esenthel MMO VS 2010" in esenthel MMO directory ( just double click and VS C++ will open)
8. in left side at below (solution explorer) right click Client and select rebuild
9. after that right click server and select rebuild
10. check on your esenthel MMO directory, in there will appear client.exe and server.exe
I think your problem is in step 5.. becouse esenthelengine.h must copy from your sdk folder to your MMO folder
