Ryzom

Did you follow the process on the page http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/BuildForWindows ?

All guys which didn't follow the "Visual Studio Configuration" part have this error.

You are using MS STL with luabind compiled with STLport, so you have 2 choices :

• compile yourself all dependencies without STLport
• setup correctly your Visual C++ to use STLport

I followed that section, else I wouldn't of got to 14 projects compiled.

No, because the only project which uses a 3rd party C++ lib (luabind in our case) is Ryzom client :)

All other 3rd party libs are not using std::string because they are in C.

If you check the functions names in your errors, you will notice some std::basic_string which implies that you used MS STL and not STLport.

When you setup includes folders correctly, STLport include is the first line, so Visual C++ will use STLport version of std::string instead of its own and you won't have any error with std::basic_string.

I'm sorry, but I repeated that a lot of times before you.

Ok. Since Client is still compiling, I found these errors in the build log.....

You need MFC to compile "client_config". it's an external exe that we don't use anyway.

So just don't compile it and skip it.

Ah ok. Well now since I've got client_ryzom_d.exe when I run it it gives me an error which is:

nel_drv_opengl_win not found

Is this because I compiled it all in Debug and not Release? (I'am compiling it in Release now)

Did you add NeL lib folder in your system path ?

That's the first image of tutorial...

Yes, I did. But I'l re-check just in-case.

Btw, you'll need to quit and relaunch VC++ after you changed that, else it won't use the new PATH variable.

Yep, I've restarted, and I'm compiling it in Release Mode. Says at the bottom of that tutorial if you want to compile the client,server,tools you make sure its in release configuration and press F7 to build it.

Now, should this work?

And what will I be expecting at the end of the build? Should I be able to start the .exe?

In Debug mode, that's working too, why should it work only in Release mode ?

I'm not saying it only works on release mode, i'am just saying it says in the tutorial to select Release.

Have you managed to compile and run the game?

Yes, I debug Ryzom client since 2008 :p

I'm one of the main developers.

Wow, Nice. I've been looking for an MMORPG for along time, but now my search has ended, since I found what I belive the best one out there... Ryzom :)

Anyways back on topic, Should I be able to run the game from the Bin folder?

I don't belong to ryzom core team and i managed to build and run the game :).

I'm not the only one.

Have look here :
http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/CurrentState

hmm.... I guess i'll have to wait and see :)

Yes, you just need to put the folder where Ryzom data are located in Debugging -> Working Directory.

After that, when you press F5 to launch client, it will find client.cfg file and start to load all needed files.

But client will be slower than if you didn't launch it from debugger.

It's not specific to Ryzom, all C++ projects are using the same method.

Working Directory?

In client property page.

If you need real time support, it's better to use #ryzom IRC channel than forum :)

oh hello... IRC.... This will help.

How can I connect?

Ah. Client Properties.... Configuration Properties >> Debugging >> Working directory

Theres no path its just blank in the Working Dir.
