To download via SVN:

svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/branches/Spell_shuffle

Chose one (1) of the options below between Existing Server or New Server

You can use the svn switch command to switch to the Spell Shuffle directory.

Switch to your existing archetype directory, for instance:

cd /home/<name>/arch.svn

Then enter the following command:

svn switch https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/branches/Spell_shuffle

The directory will automatically update with the Spell_shuffle changes.

Make sure to recollect to recompile the server to use the Spell_shuffle archetypes.

To use the Spell_shuffle archetypes with a newly setup server only requires a change to one step.

Instead of downloading the Trunk Archetypes, download the Spell_Shuffle archetypes using SVN. Like so:

$ svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/server/trunk server.svn
$ svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/maps/trunk maps.svn
$ svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/branches/Spell_shuffle arch.svn

Refer to Compiling the Crossfire Server, starting at SETUP for the rest of the steps.

See the instructions below (Switching Back) to use the Trunk archetypes if you want to go back to that codebase.

To change back to the regular SVN archetypes, make sure you are in the archetype directory, for instance:

cd /home/<name>/arch.svn

Then enter the following command:

svn switch https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/trunk

The directory will automatically update with the Trunk changes or code base.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to either recollect the archetype or recompile the server again to go back to use the Trunk archetypes

How can you tell which archetype code base you are using?

The command svn info will show you. Check the line of text that starts with URL:
