Where to download the mod

Post by Beowulf »

Hi,

you can download what I've pieced together so far for this mod at
http://www.hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~si ... ars.tar.gz
The file contains the git repository I'm using to develop the mod and is regenerated whenever I push changes to my main repository. If git proves to be too difficult for Windows users to set up I may switch to a different source code management system (mercurial sounds like a candidate for the job), but for the time being it's git.

Vegastrike's mod support is broken at the moment so this is a little complicated.

If you just want to take a look at it copying the contents of the vegawars directory into the root of a freshly checked out data4.x directory should work (make a backup copy of your data4.x tree since some files will be overwritten, see below for changes you will have to make in your vegastrike.config if you want to actually see some Star Wars ships). You don't need to copy the .git directory in this case.

If you want to contribute to the mod it's advisable to keep the mod files separate from the data4.x tree. In this case set up symlinks (or Windows' equivalent for them---I haven't testet yet if this works in windows) for the following files:
Replace

Code: Select all

factions.xml
master_part_list.csv
setup.config
vegastrike.config
weapon_list.xml
units/units.csv
units/units_description.csv
in the data4.x directory by links to their counterparts in the vegawars directory.
Add the following links to your data4.x directory and have them point at their counterpart in the vegawars directory:

Code: Select all

units/alliance
units/imperial
mission/unit_test.mission
Also you have to change your vegastrike.config to use unit_test.mission or you won't be seeing any Star Wars ships at all:
Replace

Code: Select all

<var name="default_mission" value="main_menu.mission"/>
by

Code: Select all

<var name="default_mission" value="unit_test.mission"/>
I know this is complicated but this is hardly a release. It's just what I'm working at right now ;-)

Wait! If you're going to make a Star Wars universe, don't forget:
-the criminal faction (such as the Hutts and bounty hunters)
-Citizens!!!
-famous ships, such as the X-Wing (but do your homework to find out about other ships)
-The Death Star :shock:

No one who is currently active has it period there might be a sourceforge repo but I doubt it as I said this over 8 years old and will not work with the current main code apart from the improvements in both hardware and software(compilers) so even it was available there would still be about 6 months of work to update all of the code(for 1 person).

Enjoy the Choice :)
