Wiremod Svn Guide

[Cyborgmatt]

What Is SVN?

SVN means the most up-to-date version of the code, even more updated than the latest release.

It is the project's set of working files that have been edited since the last release came out.

For example, a bug can exist in release 1.x but fixed in SVN, meaning those changes will be published in the next official version.

How to download Wiremod from SVN
If you are lazy, Scroll down to 'Too Complicated?'

Important: Is your tortoise SVN at v1.7 or greater? Start at step 1 if you are clueless as to what I'm asking or it's not >1.7. Otherwise, start at step 2. (people who use a different SVN client should already know what they need to do, so just grab the links you need and ignore everything else)

1. Get a suitable SVN client (Tortoise SVN is a good choice: http://TortoiseSVN.net)
2. Make sure you remove the "wire" folder from inside your addons folder, if it exists.
3. Right click on an empty space in your garrysmod addons folder, right click, and press "SVN Checkout".
4. Input "https://wiremod.svn.sourceforge.net/...dv Duplicator/" into the repository box, make sure HEAD revision is selected, and press OK.
5. Go back to step 3 and 4, but put in "https://wiremod.svn.sourceforge.net/...od/trunk/wire/" into the repository box.
6. ???
7. Profit!

To Update wire, you merely need to right click on the two folders, adv duplicator and wire, and press the update button.

To update wiremod: Right click on the appropriate folder(s) and choose SVN update to update to the latest wire version. You can hold control + left click the folders first to select more than one, and then right-click one of the subversion folders to update all of them (subversion will automatically exclude non-svn folders!) in one go. As of this writing, the wire folders are "Adv Duplicator" and "Wire".

Unofficial Wire Extras SVN (UWSVN)

Do you have a craving for more Wiremod, but the current toolset isn't enough? Have a look at Anticept's UWSVN. It contains many of user contributed addons, all rolled into one package. Please note; it is an UNOFFICIAL SVN, so please ask questions according to the rules in the UWSVN thread (see notice at the bottom of the post).

And the files are updated and downloaded when someone upload something new?

I mean, a small fix or a little change or whatever.

Yeap, everytime you:

"Right click on the addons folder and choose SVN update to update to the latest wire version."

Will download the latest files/changes/fixes etc.

Great, I'll give it a try. Maybe someone's fixed the Undo-bug

Edit: The ) in your link will make everything corrupt.

Or it will introduce new bugs if the current svn version is unstable.

You should only the svn version if you know what your doing. Otherwise wait for a stable release or release canadate.

Awesome, I always have trouble keeping up to date with fast updating mods like this. Thanks!

One thing to note: the gmodforge page on SVN access, (Much like the page used by countless projects on sourceforge.net,) does NOT state that a password is required. For anonymouns access, it may be advisable to remove the "anonsvn" password, and just leave it blank. That is what threw me off at first. Also, it may be good to create a redirect page on the gmodforge web page to this site, or otherwise host this site from gmodforge's web service, if it's anything like sf.net... Just some thoughts of mine to um... think about.

Edit: Well, I was under the impression that you couldn't change the svn access page on gmodforge, hence why I suggested to remove the anonymous svn access password... Since that page was just updated, I stand corrected. Thank you for updating it.

Reguards,

So, I install it, restart the computer as it asks, and I rightclick my addons folder. THeres no SVN Checkout option, or anything with SVN or Checkout in it either.
