Setting up the project

1. Be sure to have [Inno Setup 5.5 Inno Setup Compiler 5.4.3] installed. You might be able to compile it using previous versions of Inno Setup or using Inno Setup Compiler, but this is untested and may not work.

2. Open PlayBF2.iss, and build installer. Watch for log while building. Everything should be successfull.

3. Run PlayBF2.exe and it should start up with no errors. You can use debugger to debug setup process at the all setup stages.

4. If there's issues, unlucky, I'm sure you'll be able to figure them out :).

Stuff to do

Of course, no project is ever really complete. I'm a crazy perfectionist, and unwilling to redraw, rewrite, remake everything. Please consider you did issue ticket open if you have catched bug or get in trouble.

• Always test, testing automatically in all windows VM's including Windows XP,Vista,7,8,10
• Comment the code line by line so you poor folk can understand all the black magic.
• Manage accounts via website using our Web API http://playbf2.ru/api/manage/
• Maybe support some other games than just Battlefield 2. BF2142 for example... But isn't that the point of open sourcing and putting it here? If you want it, make a fork and do it ;).
