I have a question on the SVN-Version:
Does it work with a german JA2 or do I download a complete "game"?

It works with the german version, but you have to use the german j2.exe and an additional speech-pack for the german voices of Tex, Stogie and Biggins if you want a complete german version.

You mean selective updating? I am not 100% sure, because I have never tried it. I do believe it is possible though. I have yet to "need" to get into SVN to do much else than update. So I have not experimented with the other options yet. But if you stumble across how to do it, let me know.

how can i configure svn to prompt me to overwrite files when i update?

May be, setting Your local files to read only could help. Don't know exactly if, but in CVS (the predecessor of SVN) it would.

Another way (for registered Coders) could be locking. It requires to have full SVN access (writing too). But please do read the manual carefully plus train it first in Your private "Branches" path.

A third way is "add to ignore list". This option can best be found in Tortoise SVN. Normally it should be used if You don't want to UPLOAD the specified files. But I could bet, it will work in the other direction, too. Try manual for SVN.

The fourth way is: don't use Tortoise. Use plain SVN command line. Build a batch file. You don't have to add a single "SVN up filexxx.yyy". You can group them, give complete directories or, better:

dir /s /b X:\JA2 > response.file
type response.file | find /V "not_this.jpg" | find /V "not_this.too" > response.svn
svn up @response.svn

this would work with RCS, so I could imagine it would work in SVN too. (Maybe some corrections needed)

Those all are possiblities. I need to experiment more with tortoise. I was thinking more along the lines of a merge. If you merge your own stuff in. Then anything being "updated" won't overwrite it.

A backup to figuring out how to stop the SVN from affecting certain files would be to keep a backup of the graphic files on standby. (That and try deleting the hidden SVN folders before write-protecting the base folders).

I keep backups galore now, since I lost alot of stuff not long ago due to a HDD failure.

That might work. And then after write protecting, add the hidden folders back in, so the update will work.

But if you backup your MDGUNS.STI, update after I added some new guns, and then overwrite the new file with the backup, the new gun's interface pics will be missing, which could lead to a crash.
So you'll need to add the new interface pics from the new file to your backup before putting the backup back in place.

Yes. That is very true. Same with smguns.sti. There has to be any easier solution here. I am thinking your still going to have too have 2 versions of the game going the original updated 1.13, and then your modded version. Keep making your changes to your modded version and then "merge" it with the original. But then I am not sure about the next update. If you keep your modded xmls out of "the range" that Starwalker uses when he adds stuff to the game, just like dbb is doing with his mod, then I am thinking the updates from 1.13 will be ok.

I still think there has to be an easier solution here.

I usually run into that problem with modded stuff. Like mdguns or smguns files that I have altered with my own pics, or modded the xml files. What I do is go to the conflicted file and look at it, sometimes it creates 2 other files, just delete all the conflicted files and run SVN update again and it will restore the missing files.

Keep a clean backup of your SVN download in a safe place and update it.

having a bit of a problem with SVN (nothing game killing really, it works) I downloaded the 1.13 8.20 fine but when I got to the step about moving the files over I never svn file you spoke of, leaving me incapable of updating (again nothing terribly bad but something I'd prefer to correct if possible.)

You need to enable (show hidden files). Then the svn folder will be shown. Go to your control panel, then go to (folder options) then view, scroll down until you see (Hidden files and folders) and enable it.

Hi im just getting back into Ja2 after playing with WildFire. I realized trying to update it is going to be more trouble than its worth and have decided to try 1.13. I installed SVN and did a SVN checkout, it started to download the files but then it stoped/failed at a certain point. I then did a SVN Update thinking it would resume where it left off, my folder totals 507 megs is that right or should I recheck out everything clean?

Im installing from ja2 unfinished business using the 1.06 patch is that ok? I dont have gold edition

That's close, but I think the total is a little more than that. I would try it again to be safe. Sometimes it slows down and you think it isn't doing anything, just be patient and it should pick up again. But I would wait much longer than 10 mins. I am thinking download is closer to 600 meg now.

SVN at revision 770 (including the svn files and directory where you download all files into it):

19.296 files, 630 folders

576 MB (604.528.033 Bytes)

(No guaranty!)

P.S.: Right-Click on directory where you download the files and choose TortoiseSVN (if you use this tool) in context menu to download/update the files. You'll receive a nice log screen where all changes are listed. I would say resuming should perfectly work anytime and even broken files should be correctly detected.
Oh, forgot to tell: Do the SVN Updates in a separate folder and copy anything new over to your installation folder. It's safer and you won't that easily overwrite own modified files this way.

I've tried the https://81.169.133.124/source/ja2_v1.13_data/GameDir,
but there it says revision 788, not 856.

I like some control over it.

@ Thor

Your confusing "revision number" (788) with Executable or build number (856). The revision number is at 788 at the moment and only means that the SVN has been updated since it's inception 788 times, this number goes up everytime someone adds something to the SVN. The .exe (executable/build) (856) is the number of the current JA2 1.13 executable Icon that starts the game. It is only updated after (Roman/Kaiden/Lalien/Mugsy) adds everything that has been worked on or updated/changed from the source code and "compiles the data" into an executable. Launchable Icon. Your Icon that you start the game with, is this. (856)

Create more problems than it solves.
For a moder it is a very idea, because you have to have even more copies of JA2 v1.13.

No. It's not total crap. And you have 2 choices to download the 1.13 from. You can get the lastest "release" which the 1.13 modders have "officially" put out. Which only happens 2 or 3 times a year. Or you use the SVN which is "unofficial". They made the SVN available to others, so we can test bug fixes and what not as things are being changed. And not have to wait for the next major release. They did "not" have to do this, but they did. And to me it's the only way to go. Now lately I have been uploading versions of the SVN in the "1.13 Minus SVN thread" for people who are not able to use SVN, but want to be more up to date with everyone who does.

Link to official release is here.
http://ja2v113.schtuff.com/

And here, along with JA2 tools.

And here you can get the 1.13 minus SVN.

@ jA4EVER

Not sure exactly what kinds of problems your having SVN, nothing has changed, it works the same way as it always has. You just need to right click your main JA2 folder and scroll up to where it says SVN Update and it should update.

If your having to much trouble I also have uploaded the latest 1.13 stuff into a 3 part download. Just download all 3 files into the same "new" folder, then copy and paste everything into a nice clean install of JA2. See the link and thread here.

svn is 1.13 but with the constant tinkering updates...for the most part your saved games will be fine but you may find some graphics and weapons have changed from what you saved as originally and some items may have become nada..but if your 1.13 is a vanilla 1.13 from the khelle site or something like that..your saved games should be reasonably intact if you update the current svn

ya..thats the right site..i dont know why i keep saying khelle..LOL...bad habit of senility i guess..whats on schtuff is considered vanilla release package...but its not constantly updated thru svn but rather a main package released every 4-6 months or so with a couple updates thrown in here and then..svn is almost daily updating of minor things and item graphics..etc etc..and shouldnt pose any problems to your 1.13 saved games aside from what i mentioned previously

Yes. The SVN is used for regular 1.13. It will also break if you update over a version you have modified yourself. That's why you need to keep a seperate SVN folder where you update too. Then move the new stuff to your game that your playing. SVN is unofficial. And is mainly for the coders and bugfixers. When RoWa21 gets the chance he will build a new official release in the near future.
