Code: Select all

Get the tools you will need:
- download TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html) and install it
- get Visual Studio 2010 (non-express version is recommended, so next step
  is easier) and install it
- get PixelMine nFringe (http://pixelminegames.com/nfringe/releases/) and install it
  (if you use Express edition of VS, you will have to do some more metabolic end product here, google it!)
- after all installation done, reboot might be needed - do it!


Now DX related stuff:
- export all classes in UnrealED
- right click on your DeusEx folder
- choose: SVN Checkout
- write URL of repository: https://89.212.242.33/svn/dxsrc/
- make sure Checkout directory is ...\DeusEx and not ...\DeusEx\dxsrc !
- click OK
- you will be asked to accept certificate (click Accept certificate permanently)
- then you will be asked for username and password, enter username: anonymous 
  (leave password blank)
- there will be warning that target folder is not empty, click YES anyway
- then files will be downloaded, close the dialog when download is complete


Starting up and building for first time:
- in your DeusEx folder, there will be file: DXSrc.sln (open it)
- Visual Studio will be launched and you can access and modify all script files there
- link to DeusEx.ini is added in project too, so you can easy access and modify it
- open DeusEx.ini and go to section [Editor.EditorEngine]; add following lines at the end:

EditPackages=DXMTL152b1
EditPackages=CTFItems100
EditPackages=miniMTL231
EditPackages=ExampleMod

- hit save button (or Ctrl+S)
- Build: hit F7 button
- in output window, you will see progress of build and notification once it is complete
- it should build without any errors, if you see an error, simply double click on the line
  and it will redirect you to the code line where the issue is
- debugging will not work, because unreal1 engine has no debugger support
- there might be some issues when doing various code searchs (popular one is "go to 
  definition") - nFringe officially does not support unreal1 syntax, but most of things
  work pretty good
- there is ExampleMod included, which extends out of miniMTL231, you can continue there
  to make your test mod


Adding your own mod package:
- close Visual Studio
- create new folder (with name of your, eg: YourModName) and inside the folder, folder 
  named Classes
- put at least one .uc file inside Classes folder
- open Visual Studio with DXSrc solution again
- modify DeusEx.ini to add your package there
- you will have to modify prebuild.bat file, which is located in root DeusEx folder
- before exit line, add your line: erase %1System\YourModName.u
- save it
- now you are ready to build your own mod package!
