As supplement for Haydents allready good Guide for Compiling, I added some pictures (based on Visual Studio 2019).

Also with description on how to compile a MapEditor and UB.

Open Corresponding .sln solution file for you VS version ie ja2_VS2008.sln

--
01

The following examples are based on Visual Studio 2019. The solution-file (in download from SVN Source) should look something like this:
--

open .sln

--
Quote:

Once Open Click Menu At Top: Project -> Properties

02-03 additional explaination on steps before 04

--
04
--
open drop-down at Tab Project, there click at Properties
--

--
05
--
Quote:

Change "Configuration" dropdown to "All Configurations"
--
Click "Configuration Properties" -> General

--
06
--
Quote:

Change "Output Directory" to you game directory (where ja2.exe is)

--
It doesn't have to be the game directory, you can define any directory as an output-directory.
At least, that's what I'm doing. So far the compiles have been working.
I can't see, why the former exe or the GameDir would be nescessary to compile the code.
Correct me if I'm wrong, so that I could adjust this description, if so.

--
07
--
During the compiling, some intermediate files are created. Those need an output-directory as well.
--

--
08
--
Do check, if configuration type is .exe

Click OK, Save.

Confirm changes, click ok to close.

Quote:

To Choose if you build a debug or release exe use the dropdown in top menu near green play button.
--
Use the build menu to just build, use green play button to build with debugging.

In that drop-down (of quote, not picture) you can also choose the MapEditor later on.
--
For anything else then debug, to build choose Tab "Build" at top and in drop-down (picture) of this then choose "Build ja2".
