=== Tortoisesvn ===
To access the latest version of crossfire from sourceforge, a Windows compatible tool to access the source files is called tortoisesvn which is available [[http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html|here]].

The interface is built into the windows environment, to access the repository create a new folder such as "crossfire files" and right click on this folder. You will see the following option menu now available:

After a short time you should now see a window with the current directory structure of crossfire.

You can now start checking out directories you are interested in. Note: that the branches (trunk, stable etc) are within these directories so do not check-out from the root directory unless you want to download _everything_.
To checkout a directory simply right click and select checkout:
