 Important Note

In October 2022 the server hosting the SVN went down. The links above won't work anymore.

Therefore things were moved to github, see here for (more)

The guide for compiling the source with VS is still valid. Just scrap the part about SVN (and Tortoise for it).

Go to github https://github.com/1dot13 and download "source" (click on "code", in the dropdown will be "download as zip").

For compiling the ja2.exe from this, follow the guide and hints that follows under this post (if the pics are down again, further down is a link to download them).

When done, you could also download "gamedir" from github at the same time. It is highly advised to do this the same time as downloading the source, this will ensure exe and GameDir match each other.

Put the compiled exe in the GameDir. Copy content of GameDir (with exe) in your original ja2-folder, overwrite. Voila, after that you have the latest 1.13.

Use cnc-ddraw-config.exe to adjust to modern monitors/resolutions or getting blackscreen, lags, alt+tab issues, no fullscreen or other stuff related to run an ancient game on modern OS.

If you don't want to compile yourself and assemble with GameDir, look below. In my signature are links, one leads to "How-to-get..." There you should find at least one downloadsource for an ready-to-go SCI (single-click-installer).

For a Quickstart,
Toggle Basic Workflow

Mind you, it's a simple example of a basic workflow. Refer to guide (above) and/or supplementing step-by-step screenshots of the guide (below) for more details on settings in VS

Edit: added an example of a basic workflow as kinda Quickstart (13.12.2022)

Edit: I re-used my original post since it's close to start of thread. Below is the original post, left it because some following replies will otherwise look out of place.
--
Is this up-to-date enough in 2019?
And which version of Visual Studio is used nowadays?
The version I use to look into files is VisualStudioCode,
nut there is no "Projects"-tab in this one.
