Create a "How to use" guide #23

Closed fabriciorissetto closed 7 years ago

fabriciorissetto commented 7 years ago

I suggest (and want to help you with that very soon) to create a guide for "users" with the features that the bot supports.

Also would be nice to create a guide (not sure how much difficult it would be) for "developers" who want to contribute. Things like "where to start", "the main things they need to know", "design conventions".

Well I'm currently working on "How to download & Install (+ launch) merlin" for casual users, but sadly I don't have much time :) so it will take a little bit... and then I could maybe make something... and i know that for example "Design conventions" should have been done way in the past... but because it's only me + Deathwing (mostly) working on the code itself we had only some informal rules (aka no rules :D )

Found this in one of the forks:

How to use MERLIN (Albion Bot):
#1 go to https://github.com/klukule/merlin
#2 download zip
#3 extract the said zip file to C:\
#4 open C:\merlin-master\Albion\Merlin.sln with visual studio 2017
#5 click browse
#6 then click the other browse
#7 navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\AlbionOnline\game\Albion-Online_Data\Managed\ (or wherever you installed your game)
... and click OK
#8 Build the solution
#8.1 Successful compile? Proceed to #9.  Compile with NuGet error?  Proceed to 8.1
#8.2 Run your Visual Studio 2017 installer once again https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
#8.3 Customize your installed packages -> click dropdown -> choose modify
#8.3 Choose individual components
#8.4 Choose NuGet package manager
#8.5 click modify on lower right -> then wait for installation to finish.
#8.6 Try rebuilding once again, it should succeed now.
#9 run C:\merlin-master\albion-load.bat
#10 you should then see, Gathering UI in top center of your game client
#11 Customize the settings
#12 Click Start Gathering
Congratulations!

Maybe this help?

I totally forgot about that one :) It should be working... so it's possible to use this as a guide

favasconcelos commented 7 years ago

The 5, 6 and 7 we can kinda change to:

  1. In the Solution Explorer, right click "References" -> Add Reference.
  2. Go to Browse -> Browse... -> Path to "...\AlbionOnline\game\Albion-Online_Data\Managed\"
  3. Add the reference to the libraries.

or: Create folder Dependencies in merlin-master\Albion\ Copy all DLLs from AlbionOnline\game\Albion-Online_Data\Managed to Dependencies folder and you're done
