Hello. I want to compile but how to do it? I'm not advanced enough at this part so please take your time and explain me step-by-step what to do.
Please answer these questions in your posts if you can:
1. How to download the developer version?
2. Is going to https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk manually (through internet explorer) is easier than the other way with some software?
3. If no, then what software is it?
I will ask more if i won't know something else.

I have turtoiseSVN and opened up repository browser, entered url, so what should i do now?
Edit: pressed checkout, what to do next?
-
I'm not sure if you did this already or not, but you need a local folder on your hard drive to store all the source files, then you right-click on that folder and select "checkout" then enter the SVN URL.
You should then see a lot of files being downloaded in a new window. Did this happen for you, or did you get an error message?

It is downloading, but i wonder what will happen if i would put the pc to hibernation because i have to shut down my pc right now.
-
You can interrupt the download/update process at any time, and later right-click on the folder and select "SVN update" and Tortoise SVN will pick up where it left off. This also works if it hits an error in the middle of an update or checkout.

Done! Now about how to compile it...

You should compile the game before creating an installer....

how?

how?
On Windows, there are two ways:
- If you just want to be able to update and build the latest SVN version and run it whenever you want to, I'd suggest Muton's way, it's much easier.
- If you know how to program in C, and plan to edit the code and contribute as a coder, you can use the more traditional approach of using a copy of MinGW with Code::Blocks IDE. If you really want to tackle the task of building the game with this approach, I can help you get things set up, but it's far more complicated than Muton's utility.
Edit: Based on what I've seen you post, no offense, but I get the impression that you're not ready for the second method, because if you really had the programming skill and experience to be a coder you likely wouldn't be asking the questions you've been asking. If you want to learn and eventually become a coder, I'd still suggest Muton's way first, and then eventually "graduate" to the second method when you get a good understanding of the game code and programming in general.
If programming really interests you, I can help you get started, and we also have a section of the forum here for that sort of thing.

Done! But it lags a bit in battlescape. Nothing unusual except new weapons.
-
Did yo compile debug or release version ?
Debug exe is some six times slower and yes, that may show in battlescape and elsewhere (eg. startup), depending on your HW.

1. Debug
2. It happens all the time, but i sometimes forget to lower graphics and get huge lag.
I remember the lagged version (i forgot the number) where it was really lagging, because it was misconfigured to low priority...
-
If everything is configured correctly, does debug still lag on your system ?
I know that's not your target, but...
Can you also compile a 'release' version ? How long does it take to recompile for release on your system ?
Does release also lag for you ?

1. If textures are lowered, it works without lag,
2. I don't know how to compile the release version.
3. I didn't compile it yet.
4. Release version works the same.
-
1. If textures are lowered, it works without lag,
We are talking about 'Texture resolution cap' ? Mine is set to 'high' and I don't experience lag with the debug exe (r31041).
I don't really know whether textures are more related to cpu or gpu. That's a question for Mattn when he returns. How many GHz does one core of your cpu have ?
2. I don't know how to compile the release version.
As I don't know the compile process you are using, I can't help here. Usually there is some kind of switch between 'debug' and 'release' somewhere.
@All: could anybody who uses the same compile method plz help him ?
-
Nobody knows its compile method. This person only whines and complains about everything, but doesn`t want to think, read or search.

1. About 2.5 ghz
2. The software i use only has "2.3 dev" and "2.4 dev" options, so what should i use to compile as easily as possible?
P.S. The source of 2.3 was added when i installed the game (there was an option)...

@PAUL1UZ5
You need to provide far more infos from your system and build
The build is easy zip and add the buildlog
For ufoai add ufoconsole.log and config.cfg ( explorer "%APPDATA%\ufoai" )
your HW driver version and gfx type (ati radeon HD4600)
He is using make_UfoAI_win32.exe
A classic C::B build ....
If we talk about lag, I mean Geoscape
had to disable
"post-processing shader effects" (6fps vs. 45fps)
but i'm using a low^2 gfx card (onboard)
Changing resulotion cap made no difference (1 fps)

The executable is make_UfoAI_win32.exe, but it shows only dev versions, is any of its versions made for 2.3 stable version? No need anymore.

Is this enough?
P.S. Muton, can you send me your made compiler, please??? No need.
