1. Get the sources. They can be found on cvs.synchro.net, the official Synchronet repository.
- Git it:
- For the latest code/unstable branch, you can click the first 'snapshot' link here:
- http://git.poorcoding.com/?p=fatfish
- This will get the latest snapshot of the source from the repository in .tgz format.
- Extract and put the 'fatfish' folder into /sbbs/xtrn.

+Black areas on screen:
+----------------------
+FatFish uses some smoothing routings to make things look awesome. Unfortunately, this causes issues on some BBSes. Confirm that you get black lines resembling this screenshot:
+
+
+In order to fix this, we must disable smoothing. Edit 'fatfish.js' and modify the RENDER_MODE to 0:
+
+/* Default: 1.
+ Set to 0 if you see black lines render on the map.
+ We will fallback to an uglier, safer render method. :|
