Hercules Update / Compiling Plugins - Unix

[simplynice 1]

Well i have no idea how to update.

 

1.

Is there a thorough guide on how can i update my hercules? Like downloading something and any other command line. I needed it badly because of the random crash everytime i load an npc.

 

2.

I need to know how to compile the plugins using command line. Do i need to download something etc..

 

 

Thank you in advance,

If you're using git, you can do "git pull"

If you're using SVN, you can do "svn update"

 

As for plugins, simply "make plugins" when on your server's root directory (aka ~/Hercules/)

I don't have git or SVN installed in my VPS, i downloaded my Hercules using Tortoise git on my Windows 7 PC and uploaded to my VPS.

 

How to install git or svn sir?

 

 

"make plugins" then recompile? or just that?

For updating Hercules, please check this post, section Updating Hercules: http://herc.ws/board/topic/152-obtaining-hercules/?p=845

 

I'm not the most knowledgeable about plugins, but I think it was "make plugins" then notify your server the names of the plugins you want to load in /conf/plugins.conf then restart your server.

Generally "yum install git" or "apt-get install git"

 

As for plugins, to comile plugins on *nix, yes. After its been compiled, you need to add the filename (for example, if you're using the afk.c plugin, you'd add afk) in your conf/plugins.conf file
