SVN broken for Windows filesystems

Need help testing contributed art or code or having trouble getting your newest additions into game compatible format? Confused by changes to data formats? Reading through source and wondering what the developers were thinking when they wrote something? Need "how-to" style guidance for messing with VS internals? This is probably the right forum.

SVN broken for Windows filesystems

Post by utentenero »

Hello, I would like to see Vegastrike sources and try to put up something... I already created the italian wiki here on this site and translated many pages from english to italian.

So I installed TortoiseSVN and SNV Updated vegastrike as specified in the FAQ. But.

Around at 508Mb of downloaded stuff, TortoiseSVN stops, stating that

"Error: Failed to add 'C:\vegastrike\tags\before_khepri_cg': object of the same name already exists".

I looked and found the dir "before_khepri_Cg"... note the capital letter :-(

Can someone fix this problem or tell me of another and less troublesome SVN client, please? I don't think to be the one and only windows user in this situation.

Your problem is coming in trying to download the entire SVN root.

This includes the entire game for every version of vegastrike ever released, every alpha version, and every new feature added... as such, it might take up terabytes to download this, and I would highly advise that you do not.

You can properly download via Subversion by checking out two separate subversion repositories:
https://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/ ... nk/data4.x
https://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/ ... vegastrike

The Visual C++ Express project file is here:
https://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/ ... k/vega-vc8

Just curious: what FAQ were you following?
