Current svn build for testing

[divVerent]

It would be better to make a special build system for OS X, like the Win32 one I made.

[fronten]

please remove that 'Testing only!' On Screen Message!

You didnt do it before so dont start with it!
We already know what it is for!

if you really think you need this to stop the improper distribution, than do it with a switch..

[divVerent]

Didn't do WHAT before? That picture was there for years now.

And yes, I have stopped this improper distribution now. By revoking access to these builds.

Use the build system.

As for a switch: is "showbrand 0" not good enough for you?

EDIT: esteel added that image to regular svn too. I have no idea why he did that. Anyway, put "showbrand 0" in your autoexec.cfg and it's gone.

I have made a couple of ebuilds that will simplify the building process for gentoo users.

Here's a link to the gentoo bug page with the ebuilds: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256209

For users not familiar with portage and/or how to install ebuilds outside of the main tree: http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:hto ... =firefox-a

These packages are live ebuilds, that need to be unmasked:

Code: Select all

echo 'games-util/fteqcc **' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo 'games-fps/darkplaces **' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo 'games-fps/nexuiz **' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords


you may now enable some use flags:

Code: Select all

echo 'games-fps/darkplaces alsa nexuiz opengl oss sdl' >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo 'games-fps/nexuiz pack' >> /etc/portage/package.use


Notice that the pack use flag will cause a repack of all the sources into a single pk3. This process can take a fairly large amount of time, but does save you quite some diskspace. In my case the uncompressed data was around 2.5GB, while the compressed image was 560MB.

Now install them:

Code: Select all

emerge nexuiz


At some later time you may want to upgrade to the newest svn revision, here's how to update all the packages:

Code: Select all

emerge -1 fteqcc darkplaces nexuiz


Happy fragging and if you have any problems or questions - let me know.

thanx for "showbrand 0" divvergent!

havent found this with a quick look at the3 readme, sorry.

MY problem was that SUDDENLY, after doing an update via that SVN-build system you supplied, this annoying on Screen message appeared. never seen before, even wihile using the svn build all the time.

sorry, didnt want to embarass you.
i apologize.

[Alien]

It always appears before official release

[esteel]

I simply enabled that brand icon because i feel like currently more and more people use a build from svn without a real idea what its about. Like the fact that some of divVerent old builds seems to have spread way more then intended. Posts like in the NexuizNinjaz forum were people are only dropped a link to the win 32 build system in this forum without properly telling those people that they will be beta testers then (kinda), might get a broken version that might not even start at all, that it would be great if they report bugs they find in the official forum and such stuff.. Besides people that know a bit about svn and Nexuiz should have no problem to find out how to disable this warning.

However Z had a IMO nice idea there.. maybe DivVerent could port over this "special-maps" popup so that playing on svn servers also give a clean idea that this is not a normal server but one used for development. Ultimatly maybe even displaying the current revision

[divVerent]

Not sure, that notice before every single map would simply be too much of a nuisance...

but if there were a way to show it only once after connecting, but not after every map change, then it'd be great.

[[-z-]]

Yes a more obvious MOTD would help immensely I believe. The warning dialog would be perfect because it requires the user to acknowledge they at least SAW it
