In the map compile, I'm seeing a lot of this:

Code: [Select]
Could not load image pk3 (/Users/ggould/ufoai/2.2/base/0pics.pk3)
Is that normal?


I just run
Code: [Select]
pushd base && ./archives.sh && popd && make mapsThat creates the pk3 files without the BSPs so that ufo2map doesn't complain. I do this very rarely though as compiling the maps really sucks.

the 0pics.pk3 is not needed - it loads the needed files from the real file tree instead of trying to load it from the pics pk3

hey folks, so whats required to submit patches and work on todos ?
i have a number of things that really annoy me (like problems when you have too much stuff),
that i`ld like to fix and upstream-submit.

c-skills might be a bit out of use, but should do for "normal" coding stuff.
good experience level with solaris, linux, mac (i build compute-grids for a living)
good experience level with make, shell, etc.
plus very good at breaking things :)

Patches are submitted using the tracker on the UFO:AI sourceforge site. I pretty much always make my patches off the trunk immediately after running svn up, and I create my patches using svn diff > some_file_name.patch. Mattn reviews them and picks and chooses the parts that make sense to him, and leaves out the stuff you shouldn't have even submitted (when considered in hindsight.) ;)

I'm sure some one who has done much more on the project can provide more guidance!

@tchristney you should have svn write access already, no?

the normal way is to provide one or two patches for todos or bugs and if they are accepted (also in terms of our coding guidelines => see wiki) you can also get write access to our svn or provide further patches to our trackers, as you wish.
