What, exactly, have you tried so far? Which files did you download already? Which tools have you prepared? What operating system?

Well, you are also going to need a development system. Follow the instructions here:

http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php? ... ent_System

Ignore the Microsoft tools and go for Code::Blocks. There is an all-in-one package of it available with the mingw compiler, pick that.

After you are done installing it, grab the latest 0.2.8.2.1 code zip from here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/arma ... p?download

You'll also need these:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/armage ... g_mirror=0

Try compiling the dedicated server from that, and maybe the client. The instructions for that are on the wiki page I linked to.

Note that I haven't talked about the patch yet

That's because before you can apply it and build, you need to know how the regular source builds.
