This is a brief development tutorial for developing FOnline. In this tutorial I use the FOnline: Reloaded version of the SDK, but it should be fully compatible with the original SDK. (Note: As we found out, everything is not compatible, especially scripts. If you plan to follow this tutorial, make it easier on yourself and use the Reloaded version, see first step for install instructions)
Copies of this tutorial can be found at both [url=http://forum.fonline-reloaded.net/index.php?topic=9735.0 the game forum[/url] and at [url=http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,29789.0.html]FoDev.net[/url] as well.

Still Planned
- Separate advanced stuff and add it to a new thread, advanced tutorials. Everything that is not step by step should be advanced, as most people get lost too easy. (Pepe)
- Add a small simple quest, step by step style, where the objectives is to kill a nearby critter for the quest giver. (no need to generate a new private map for it) (Pepe)
- Add a guessing game, step by step style, where the player has to guess riddles, using the "Say" menu to give the answer, instead of selecting from possible dialogue options. (Coro)
