SVN Suggestion: Runnning the SVN more easy

[Arkblade]

The two days has passed since I downloaded SVN for testplay.
i can't testplay yet.
(plus two day seems to hang because of the compilation of map.)

It is thought that the reason is SVN /base.

if you play SVN, you must added conpiling .po and conpiling .map(it's very slow!) and download music and old base tarball(To fix it: http://ufo.myexp.de/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19)

I do not think this is good.
(In both testplay and the version management of SVN version.)

so I propose this:
The game can be executed as it is with downloaded SVN/base.

1) .mo Languagefiles and folders are added to base/i18n.
2.) all campaign used .bsp are added to base/map and all .map move to src/map.
3.) all musicfiles are added to base/music.
4.) (if possible) all dlls and birary recommended to test are added SVN/birary(new folder) and SVN/base.

This change is very profitable for test players.

and Dev,
when it's release, Dev must be only deleting SVN related files from downloaded SVN.

I don't quite understand the source of your problems, but I can test-play SNV just by downloading it "svn co..." and then compiling src and compilng base/maps. If I want, I may download music, as well. That's it.

See

http://ufo.myexp.de/wiki/index.php/Coding

and its subpages about compilation.

[Arkblade]

yes, a lot of things are being written on that page.
but a lot of time is necessary for the compiling of the map.
and, the music file is not found easily.
in addition, if new music is added, music download will become a more troublesome thing.

if map(bsp) and music are added to SVN.
a lot of time for the compiling of the map is reduced.
and it is possible to know those updates quickly.

there is a mappack available at sourceforge.net download page with recent compiled maps:

This hasn't been decided on, but most likely once before every major release (i.e with the first Release Candidate).

BTW, you only need to compile the maps _once_ and then only recompile the source if soemthing changes anyway. The maps normally do not change that much.
