I think a backup is always good, but imho the server should not be mentioned until there is a hardware failure of the official one (a commit is always sent to the server which was used for checkout, so this is for preventing commits to the backup server which bring both servers' repositories out of sync).

Perhaps, for this task it would be enough if you setup the server and Klaus sent the latest dump and configuration to you when the server's on fire.

OTOH, you could also get dumps automatically initiated by a post-commit hook on the official server (incremental delta as e-mail attachment, or you rsync with a directory on the official server containing dumps/hot-backups before written to backup media, etc.). However this would need some testing until it works and config files like svnserv.conf have to be kept sync separately...

And last but not least there could be a official backup server, if it had read only access for all users until a hw failure of the official one occurs.

To repeat a question from the first page () what should that PM look like to say that you agree to the EULA?

EDIT: Never mind.

I've tried compiling a build using the latest SVN but whenever I try to run it I get a path error. I can't see which path due to the fact it pops under and is impossible to reach. Can anybody help?

Check your CDKDIR environment variable, and that you have a \tmp directory on all the drives concerned.

Well at first I thought rather of the fact that the *.exe in the ctp_source\ctp\ directory must be on the same level like the ctp_data directory of course that that come with the game. But that comes after compiling.

Well since we are talking about setting environment varaibles, I recently figured out that under Windows 98 you shouldn't use eny spaces when you write it into the autoexec.bat. Something like the following results in two different environment variables.

SET CDKDIR = C:\Activision\CTP2\bin
SET CDKDIR=C:\Activision\CTP2\bin

The former one is called "CDKDIR " and the latter one is called "CDKDIR". Since when counts white space.

going to svn://ctp2.kaan.dk/ctp2 doesn't get me any where. And I tried mapping it as a network drive. How do I get on to the new server?

First you need the according tool you can find it there:

http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/download.html

And then you have to ask Klaus for a username and a password, username for you should't be a problem or very long for you. Password have you find on your own and before you upload the files you posted in the altered source files thread you have to get my (or anyone's else) OK first. Your files aren't OK yet.

thanks. I agree, I need someone to proof read my stuff so I was figuring that I'll post my files in the altered files thread and then either Klass or I can add them to the server.

Maybe it would be better to post the code, first. In the appropiate thread to that we can check, before you post any files and if you post files you should post them in the according thread as well, as they belong to the discussion.

Well you should try it again. Unfortunatly it takes a while afterwards you have started the process. And I didn't figure out how I can prevent it from downloading everything else then the trunk. But finally you will be done and then you only need to do the update. But use this option from the trunk directory, otherwise it checks the tags for update worthy stuff as well and that takes a while. So far I couldn't decide to delete them.

You can checkout only the trunk by doing something like:

svn co svn://ctp2.kaan.dk/trunk .

(which will checkout the contents of trunk to the current directory)

If you've already checked out more than you want then it's fine to delete the tags, but you should also delete the .svn directory in the directory which contains trunk and tags (otherwise you could get the tags back by accidentally doing something you didn't mean to in that directory, such as an svn revert).

Generally speaking you can mess around fairly freely with your working copy - so long as you don't alter anything inside a .svn directory you probably won't cause anything disastrous to happen (although you might mess up the repository if you commit bizarre changes).

It took a long time but I downloaded the files from the server. Does it do this evertime I have to get an update or can I just get the latest revision?

And how do I upload stuff? or make my revisions?
