(You must have Windows SP 2 to install the SDK!)

2.) After downloading all of the files, install them in this order (RECOMMENDED):

Service Pack 2
Windows® Server 2003 Platform SDK Web Install
Tortoise SVN
VStudio 2005
MySQL We will be running this from the auto install! We will also be installing it into the C:\MySQL folder. Don't forget when installing to choose customize, and install EVERYTHING. That way there cannot be any missing folders. This step is probably vital to not getting any errors.
Navicat

Part 2: Compiling the Core

1.) Create a new folder on your desktop. The name doesn't matter, but I named mine SWGEmu.

2.) Right click that folder, and press SVN Checkout. When a window comes up, for the "URL of repository box", paste in: http://opensvn.csie.org/SWGEmuPub/ Next, for revision, make sure head is selected.
3.) After the files are done downloading, run VStudio Compiler. It's located under Start->All Programs->Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.
4.) When it opens, go to Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions-> VC++ Directories. Open the dropdown menu under Show Directories for, and select include files.
5.) Under $(VCInstallDir)include add a new line by clicking the folder or pressing Ctrl + Insert. In that line, type C:\MySQL\include
6.) Next, select Library Files from the same dropdown menu, and for the new line, add in C:\MySQL\lib\opt
7.) Go back to the main Visual C++ screen. Go to file -> open -> project / solution.
8.) Browse to the SWGEmu root directory (The folder you Tortoise SVN-d) and then go to Win32. Open up swgemu-vc8.sln
9.) Press F7 or go to the Build menu, then build solution.
10.) If there are ANY errors, here are the solutions (Thanks ramsey and users!)

Q) fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libmysql.lib'
A) Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directorys Then at the top right, click on library files Add a path to the library which should be here: C:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt If you installed it in the default path, it should be here: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q) mysql.h couldnt be found. A) Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directorys Then at the top right, click on include files Add a path to the library which should be here: C:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\include If you installed it in the default path, it should be here: C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\include Still getting the error? Go to Database_Mysql.h. Find: #include Replace with: #include ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q) winsock2.h missing
A) Make sure you install the platform sdk which can be found here: http://forums.swgemu.com/viewtopic.php?t=2701
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q) libmysql.dll is missing when i try to run the server.
A) \MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt There should be a libmysql.dll. Drag that to your C:\WINDOWS\system folder. NOT system32. system.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part 3: MySQL and you!
1.) The first thing you want to do, is take note of the password you entered in when you were installing MySQL. If you didn't enter one that's fine, but if you did you WILL have to use that. 2.) Okay, you're server should be up, since the MySQL should be the autoinstaller version.
3.) Open up Navicat, which is in the Premiumsoft folder in All Programs.
4.) Click the connections button in the semi-top left hand part of the screen. The connection name doesn't matter too much, but I set mine as SWGEmu. Leave the hostname to localhost and the port to default (3306). The username will be root, (Unless you entered in a username for your mysql, which I'm not sure is possible since I can't remember ) and the password will be blank or the password you entered in whilst installing MySQL. Press test connection. If it doesn't connect, you either have a firewall messing stuff up, or you typed the username and password wrong.
5.) A new server should show up! Yay! Now, right click on it and press new database. You'll want to name it swgemu (I believe it's case-sensitive) and leave the character set to default.
6.) On the new database, you want to right click, then press execute batch file. Select swgemu.sql from MySQL in your SWGEmu folder.
7.) Go do debug, then config in your SWGEmu folder, edit config and enter in the information listed. If you're running on your home PC you probably only need to change the password that you entered in when you installed MySQL.
8.) With the unused zip, currently named as swgemu_client.zip you have sitting on your computer, it is now time to finally get into the game! Open up that zip and copy it into your LEGIT (I hope ) SWG directory. Mine is C:\Program Files\StarWarsGalaxies. Copy all the files located in that zip to your directory. Now, if you are up to date on the patches, or have at least patch 13 installed, you'll be set. If you don't have any patches or something under 13, you'll have to get them off the SWG website. If you're OVER, take out ANY file with the prefix patch. Don't delete them if you plan on going back into NGE. (If you even wanted to ). It's pretty sad that a game that only has the function of walking around the environment is more compelling to play than the NGE.
9.) If you've played the NGE or any other version of SWG lately, you can just take out anything but the files patch_00.tre - patch_13_00.tre. Take all the other patch files out.
10.) Make a shortcut of SWGEmu.exe somewhere. Right click it, then choose properties. After that, add this to the target field.

-- -s Station subscriptionFeatures=1 gameFeatures=25511.)

Run SWGEmu_Setup.exe to set up your screen resolution, etc. After you're done, press okay and get out of that. Now, run the SWGEmu.exe in your emu folder under debug. Then, open the SWGEmu shortcut you modified the target of. Wait till the login screen shows, then log in under test. The password will be test. You can now run around. Yay! Or in a better looking phrase
