Odd, on my screen the page clearly explains that there is a compiling guide. (http://planeshift.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/planeshift/trunk/docs/compiling.html)

[link updated to new guide -- neko]

I never downloaded the scourcecode, so I can't help you with that.

By the way, do you realise that, even if you have all the skills it takes to make your own 3D MMORPG, it will take several years to develop only the basic features. Remember that planeshift 3d is in developement since 2000 (if I'm correct) and there is a whole team of skilled people working at it. Take it as a reference and estimate your chances. Creating a MMORPG is a huge undertaking. I doubt anyone can make one on his own.

I believe Ary did.  But she's not human.

A yes, I remember. Maybe she was helped by a devine intervention, because she developed it with a noble goal.  :innocent:

Creating good art, settings and gameplay us much harder than most people think. It's not just "grabbing the code", smack some textures against it and the MMO is done! It requires great effort. :)
