Requirements
Download - Community Edition x64
- While installing, ensure these two modules are selected
This is updated monthly for patches and security concerns. Use the latest, as the repository maintains the latest .NET build
Download - .NET 8 x64 SDK
- .NET 8 x64 and Hosting bundle
- Download the Developer or Express Edition (either will work)
** If using Express Edition, make sure you set the Instance as "MSSQLSERVER" or you will run into issues.
- Walk through the installation process, leave defaults as the server is written to support that, in a later step you will be building out databases which create MDF files at a location of your choice, but for now. Just install SQL SERVER
Zolian requires a nuget package found here: https://github.com/FallenDev/Chaos-Network/releases/
- To install this nuget package in Visual Studio, on your menu bar click "Tools" then "Options"
- Scroll to "NuGet Package Manager", open and click "Package Sources"
- Add a new source, pointing to the folder where you downloaded the nuget package, click "Update" to add it
- Exit Options, click the "Tools" on the menu bar and this time click "NuGet Package Manager" then "Manage Nuget Packages for Solution"
** Make sure the source on the upper right states "All" - Search for "Chaos-Networking" and install it for "Zolian.GameServer" and "Zolian.Server.Base"
