## Our Version is FORK!! This means we do develop our own branch with goal and target platform Windows only!

## Copy movies and music to your windows directory
The Windows version supports CD audio music, and the Linux version supports ripped CD music files compressed as ogg (like found in the GoG version). The Audio tracks in the GoG version are named `Track02.ogg` to `Track11.ogg`.

## Very important setup for Visual Studio:

Once all these are in place, open the Visual Studio project file [your source path]/ctp2_code/ctp/civctp.sln in Visual Studio. The project comes with several configurations. The most important ones are:

Debug: Unoptimized debug build, with logging, asserts, and a memory leak detector. The leak detector makes it actually slow.
Final: The build that was shipped with the game.
Final with Logging: Like Final but with logging, which is very useful for AI debugging.
Release: Not needed for us, it is close to the Final version but does not include the CD check that the Final version originally included.
Debug Browse: Like Debug but seems allow also to browse the stack external Microsoft code. So far untested. It requires MSVCRTD.dll, which needs to placed into the folder ctp_code/ctp/ folder. It might be included in your copy of Visual Studio, but it can also be downloded from the internet, if you search for it.
This step must be done for all running profiles!

CTP2 can directly be run from Visual Studio, to do so press F5 if you want to run it on the debugger, which will be slow and does not make sense for a Final version. To run without debugging, press Ctrl F5. If necessary, CTP2 will be built, first. Some of the map plugins may fail to build the first time in a clean project. Just try compile those again.

## DirectX
I am not sure where you are now in this list. And keep in mind I don't follow these instructions too often, ether.

Make sure you add the Include and Lib and BaseClasses directories from this SDK to Tools->Options->Directories from Visual Studio, if they are not there already. If you installed them to default locations, that means you need to add e.g. for DirectX 9.0:

Well, for the rest VS2019 may still refuse to compile something, usually when I upgraded from one version to another there was always some stuff that did not compile, but that can also be fixed. I only used VS2017, even so I have VS2019 installed.
