#9478: Source code mods, what to do what to do

by Anathema on 11/11/2007 05:55

Apologies in advance for longevity
<backstory>
So, I wrote a tiny (197 line) modification to sauerbraten; first cvs, then backported (aka c&p'd) to current (summer) edition; that lets one import m3u playlists into sauerbraten.
Why?
Because it shows the song title for EXTM#U playlists, lets me turn random mode on/off, lets me pick a particular song, string playlists together, delete songs, and hacking default_map_settings.cfg every time I wanna mix my songs up, plus rename the files 1.ogg, 2.ogg ... n-1.ogg, n.ogg was annoying. so here we are, 200 lines later, and I'm happy with it. also, it makes putting music into custom map cfg's simpler (from my perspective).
</backstory>

So, having this little mod that I'm happy with, and I was wondering how to share it. I'm not familiar with cvs (I use git, and even then just on rare occasion), so I'm not sure if there is some simple .diff like file I could make. I went to quadropolis, and they don't (at least, to my searching) have a guide for packaging such a thing, and none of the mods on the first five pages seem to set any examples, which leaves me lost. I would like to be able to share this with other people (don't give a **** about the license), but really don't know how. Which is my question: how/where is the easiest/best way to upload a tiny mod to sauerbraten source code for those who may (or may not) be interested?

If the answer seems obvious to you, please share so it may be obvious to me as well.

I'm sure it's posted someplace already. Have you checked the wiki?

The jist of it is that you open the ports in any NAT you have, forward them to the hosting computer, and start up the server. It's probably slightly more complicated than that, though.

Yes, it's posted, but it does not explain it fully. I don't understand it.

Well, it all depends on the scope of the mod so much ;)

If I read your posting correctly you'd probably best package a ZIP with
sauermp3.exe
bin_unix/sauermp3_client
and wherever a MacOS client goes.
datafiles should prolly best reside in packages/mp3sauer/

add launcher-scripts to preset the binary to use and - if required - run a init-script.

add some documentation on how to use your mod!

HTH

In any case, just package away and comments will surely crop up if the PAK can be improved on ;)

Funny how it seems you don't even try to figure it out. Have you ever even taken a little peek at the output of the command /map mapname??? Unless of course you don't know how to use that command.

Grow up, get bent, and look in packages/base.

again it is proven that the word F*CK is the only word that can be used as a verb adjective AND noun ;)

I kinda thought the math question at the bottom was supposed to keep people like that outa here? :P

Read. Although he/she has a good grasp of the f word I've heard better. In fact I've seen clouds of impenetrable darkness form at the explication of unrepeatable offenses to uncontrollable circumstances. Keep trying though. Soon you'll be cursing like a sailor in a desert.

Funny is how the more you toss insults and cuss words around, the less helpful we get for you, isn't it? I'm honestly amazed you completed the math puzzles on the first try each time. Must have been quite a strain for you. I imagine that if you put a bit of work into the problem yourself, you'll solve it rather easily, as countless others have done.

See, thing is, insulting people you want information from only works when you have physical intimidation tactics ready to back it up. Simply because you can bully the other children at your "special" school does not meant that you can bully us into helping you. Really, if you wanted help, you should have just asked nicely. Try again sometime, with a better tone of voice and perhaps use the *real* magic word, which is "please" and not "f**k".

Also remember that this is the internets and small children can surf to this page. You wouldn't want to be responsible for stealing things from children, would you? And especially not their innocence.
