Well done Thyranim,

Since you are also a windows compiler, i share a couple of reminder experiences.

1) When u do the codeblocks (i am assuming u r using CB from the thread) compilation, its recommended (if u have the time, which really isnt very demanding) to build a debug mode for 2.3 as of now. This will allow testers to do debug options / console inputs.

2) When u do the CB compilation, try to do a Rebuild Workspace mode. This will attempt to rebuild everything from scratch, creating an effectively, New and Updated codes.

3) When you are done, lookout for the Compatibility Announces and the For Compilers - Notifications of Maps to Rebuild Threads.

They contain important notices as to when you should do a /base/contrib/scripts/compile_maps.bat /clean mode (which is an exhaustively long task ~3 to 6 hrs), which effectively rebuild all maps.

It also contain impt compatibility announcements whereby you may need to start a new campaign and the such. If you intend to help contribute by uploading the installers (which the community including me will be VERY MUCH appreciative of), you may wish to look into one of the threads i maintain at Links for 2.3 Development Binaries - Full Builts & Incremental Builts Only.

Feel free to upload it with the format and layout already existing. You may wish to include the Compatibility Announces there.

If you are update freak like me, haha, check out UFOAI cia's logs for revisions updates here. This link will give u the last 200 updates (max unfortunately), but u can restrict it by changing the nos behind at the end of link.

Eg:

--- Code: ---http://cia.vc/stats/project/ufoai/.rss?ver=2&medium=plaintext&limit=200

--- End code ---
Gives u 200 updates.


--- Code: ---http://cia.vc/stats/project/ufoai/.rss?ver=2&medium=plaintext&limit=15

--- End code ---
Gives u last 15 updates. :D


4) You may wish to be reminded of doing your pk3 updates by running /base/archives.bat. You may wish to be informed that it will effectively creates pk3 archives, and subsequent running of it updates the archives. For me, i will delete *.pk3 files in /base before running to effectively make brand new pk3 files. :D

5) Last but not least, do the NSIS script compilation for installers. You may wish to play with this to creat diff types of installers. :D

Okie, update till for now.
Ani queries just feel free to ask the good folks here! :D

Welcome to game and compilations :D
