| - | ====== SVN Code == | ||
| - | |||
| - | The code repository for Crossfire is hosted on sourceforge. \\ | ||
| - | See the [[:downloading]] page for information about fetching it. \\ | ||
| - | The page [[:Crossfire Traffic]] contains a huge summary list about changes in the svn repository. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====== Folder Structure == | ||
| - | The svn repository for Crossfire has these main folders ( also called "modules" ) available: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * [[#arch]] -- Archetypes datafiles for the server | ||
| - | * [[#client]] -- Crossfire X11, GTK-1, GTK-2 client source code for the players | ||
| - | * [[#gridarta-editor]] -- :?: | ||
| - | * [[#jxclient]] -- Java client for the players | ||

| - | |||
| - | ==== Branch == | ||
| - | |||
| - | Many times you will see or read references to “Branch” or “Branches” or “Branches/1.x” or “Branches/1.12” - what does this mean? | ||
| - | |||
| - | There is a Subversion (aka svn) directory at SourceForge which is intended to be the stable 1.X release. \\ | ||
| - | This is the same directory that many of the Linux distributions use for their packaged releases (.dpk, .rpm, et al.) | ||
| - | |||
| - | In January-2009, Branches/1.x was dropped and replaced with Branches/1.12 which is the upcoming release candidate with a target date of March-2009. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once 1.12.0 is released, a new branch using 1.13 will be available for backporting content from trunk and bug fixes. \\ | ||
| - | The target release date for 1.13 is September-2009. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Going forward, there will be a 6-month release cycle, using this same system of release versions. | ||
| - | |||
| - | One can expect the following in Branch: | ||
| - | * Official version releases based on this code (i.e., 1.11.0) | ||
| - | * Game features that have been in place for several releases or years | ||
| - | * Most (or nearly all map) updates from Trunk backported to Branch | ||
| - | |||
| - | One should also be aware that Branch has been more tested to run and compile on other platforms - \\ | ||
| - | but there may still be challenges and difficulties with your compile. \\ | ||
| - | Development primarily takes place with and under Linux. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Use branch if you are interested in the “more stable” release of Crossfire. | ||
| - | |||
| - | See also [[#trunk]] , [[#latest]] , [[#next]] , [[#tags]] and [[#stable]] . | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Latest == | ||
| - | |||
| - | Many times you will see or read references to “latest” - what does this mean? | ||
| - | |||
| - | Latest is the same as trunk and is linked to the same Subversion (svn) directories as arch|maps|server|client /trunk/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | At some point, latest could have it's own release cycle. At that time, this page would be updated to reflect that. | ||
| - | |||
| - | See also [[#trunk]] , [[#branch]] , [[#next]] , [[#tags]] and [[#stable]] . | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Next == | ||
| - | Removed with r 19302 | ||
| - | |||
| - | See also [[#trunk]] , [[#latest]] , [[#branch]] , [[#tags]] and [[#stable]] . | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Stable == | ||
| - | |||
| - | Many times you will see or read references to “stable” - what does this mean? | ||
| - | |||
| - | Stable is the same as branch and is linked to the same Subversion (svn) directories as arch|maps|server|client /branches/1.x/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | At some point, stable could have it's own release cycle. At that time, this page would be updated to reflect that. | ||
| - | |||
| - | See also [[#trunk]] , [[#branch]] , [[#latest]] , [[#next]] and [[#tags]] . | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Tags == | ||
| - | |||
| - | Many times you will see or read references to “Tags” - what does this mean? | ||
| - | |||
| - | Tags is an official snapshot release of the archetypes, client, maps and server based on branches/1.x (aka stable) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Tags also have a release version, such as v1.11.0, and are made approximately once a calendar year. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This is the code base that many of the Linux packages (.rpm, .deb, et al.) use in their release cycle. | ||
| - | |||
| - | See also [[#trunk]] , [[#branch]] , [[#latest]] , [[#next]] and [[#stable]] . | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Trunk == | ||
| - | |||
| - | Many times you will see or read references to “Trunk” - what does this mean? | ||
| - | |||
| - | There is a Subversion (aka svn) directory at SourceForge for active development and testing. \\ | ||
| - | One can expect the following in Trunk: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * New features and changes | ||
| - | * Latest development changes | ||
| - | * New content (i.e., maps) | ||
| - | |||
| - | One should also be aware that Trunk is not as well tested (to name a few) for stability, \\ | ||
| - | game balance, bug fixes and compiling on non-Linux platforms. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Use trunk with caution unless you intend to take part in testing, bug reporting, development, etc. | ||
| - | |||
| - | As a player, here's a list of some (not all..) of the features that are different then in branch: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Combat, and movement speed in general, has been slowed down | ||
| - | * Combat calculations have changed - weapon class (Wc) improves at a different (slower) pace | ||
| - | * Items and spells that grant a bonus to weapon class are much more useful | ||
| - | * Monsters and spells are still in process for being rebalanced for the combat and movement changes | ||
| - | * Monster population on newer maps (i.e., Pygmy Forest, Castle Saromok) are much less then due to the combat system changes, other maps should be modified as well | ||
| - | * Player files from branch are incompatible with trunk; as in, branch characters will have combat stats that a trunk player could never achieve | ||
| - | * Each player starts with an additional 20 hit points (or so) | ||
| - | * When not moving (standing idle) hit point, spell point and grace regeneration is faster | ||
| - | * When not moving (standing idle) food consumption is slowed down (food is still consumed to regenerate though) | ||
| - | * Items such are armour and weapons that are enchanted (+1, +2, +3, et al.) are more rare | ||
| - | * Lower level monsters drop more (silver) coins | ||
| - | * Dragon characters chose their elemental focus during the character creation process | ||
| - | * Many monster generators only produce a fixed number of monsters and then stop (until the next map reset) | ||
| - | |||
