To add to that response on a more basic level, when you modify c++ code, you need to "compile" it into an executable file (.exe) before it will run.
If you download the source and modify it, you have to compile your new, special version before you can see if it works. Often, your changes will make it so the new version doesn't work quite the way it's supposed to. These are the bugs we're always tracking down.
...it's the ciiiiiiircle of liiiiiiiiiiife...and it moves us aaaaaaaaaaaaaall...

The first thing you need to do is to figure out how to build the unmodified version of Bitfighter on whatever platform you are on. We've tried to make it easy, but there are always complexities. Patience and fortitude are required if you have never done this before. It took me over a week to compile Bitfighter for the first time (though it was called Zap then), and while we've made it much easier than it was, there are still many things you will need to learn, like how to compile a C++ program, for example.

ok, so im assuming you got visual C++ and *obtained* the "include_do_not_distribute" files..?

I'm not exactly sure if those files are required any longer... I think Sam or Raptor did some voodoo to make them unnecessary.

Voodoo was done as part of 016, I think (everything seems fuzzy now..) - for 015a, you'll still need those DirectX files.

Usually the easiest way to get those files, which we cannot distribute, is to quietly ask someone via email.

Do you understand what compiling is?

I want to be clear that I'm not trying to talk down to you here, I'm just trying to figure out what you do and do not know.
Do you understand how to attempt to compile the code for windows?
