Run Client On Windows¶

We supposed you have finish the compilation and now you want to run your own client to connect on the open shard.

Data¶

The Mercurial repository doesn't contains all big data like textures, 3d objects... so you need first to Download the client archive.

Extract the archive anywhere, for example in c:\ryzom_client.

Running under Visual studio¶

Right click on "client" project on the left tree then click on Set as Startup Project

Right click on "client" project on the left tree then click on Properties

In Configuration Properties->Debugging->Working Directory set the path to the client directory, for example c:\ryzom_client. Press "OK"

Press F5 to run the client.

Running outside Visual Studio¶

Create a shortcut R:\code\ryzom\bin\client_ryzom_r.exe inside c:\ryzom_client.

Edit the properties of the shortcut and be sure "Start in" point to c:\ryzom_client.

Double click on the shortcut.

Connect on another shard¶

By default, the client will try to connect on open.ryzom.com:40916. But if you want to client to connect on another shard, add this line in client.cfg:

StartupHost = "ip.of.your.server:40916";

So it'll override the @StartupHost in the @client_default.cfg that is :

StartupHost = "open.ryzom.com:40916";
