The autotools project is all that is left of the white hat project, and yes, it's still looking for programmers.

Contact me for the details, there are a variety of tasks and skillsets needed; however, be warned that JA2 code isn't easy for the beginning programmer.

@Spaceviking, although the code is still very much C instead of C++, the actual files are .cpp files. Until I can get around the fact that I use VS6, it does need to be backwards compliant if you're using .NET. I'm just reluctant to try VS8 right now.

If you want to spend a few weeks, or months or whatever going through the 1.13 code until you're comfortable making changes, you're welcome to help us out if you have the time.

Is there a document somewhere that shows what tools are required (or just work)?

The only tools you really need are "visual studio 6" or "visual studio .net" to make changes to the code and to compile to project.
Other tools like "slf-explorer", "sti-view" or "grv" are also good to have. These tools are for sti-files manipulation.

Yeek! VS6 and VS .NET cost $$$$ (full retail is like $300). Maybe I can pick one up cheap on EBay.

And, no, don't even think of suggesting a bootleg copy. I write software for a living.

---update---

I think that MS has a free version at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/

if you want to use the full VS studio, then try your local university bookstore. Student versions sold for about 50-60$ for the standard edition VS6 when I last checked.

edwin is working on a version that will compile with gcc, which is a free compiler.

There is a free compiler from MS that will let your build it, but does not have the visual enviroment.

I made VS8 project files for 1.13 as well as the very minor changes needed for it... was it not patched in?

defrog, they may be in there, I just don't think they are being used and updated.

I mainly just don't want to move all my projects from VS6. I had another machine a while back and was willing to put .NET on it for this, but I couldn't find my .NET, and now I no longer have the extra machine or I would grab the VS8 beta.

when adding files and such its almost identical to the 2003 projects... just open vcproj files... its a fairly simple XML... just match to changes done when updating the 2003 and it is most likely fine...

It's been a while, but suddenly I see this project is still very much alive. I was amazed at the improvements.

Is there still a need for help?

You should just check with mad mugsy, kaiden or anyone else involved with the 1.13 mod, they have a CVS now. The whitehat project i think is dead, anyway it's intension was to make the game more moddable and that is the intension with the 1.13 mod also.

@Crimson Rider: Yes we could use some help. There are still many bugs and some new features need to be added. Check them at wiki: http://ja2v113.schtuff.com/

If you have made something useful contact me, I'll give you access to SVN server.

By the way, is there SVN readonly access available to the source tree?
