Fledgling Fyora madcrow Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 The current situation with all sorts of patches and "standalone" code dumps seems to be getting untenable. With that in mind, I've started a Google Code project for this and will soon be working on importing the Mac and Windows codebases.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 That was something we were hoping to avoid doing, really. I guess it's your prerogative, given the terms of the license, but consulting the community first would have been nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora madcrow Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'll close it if people want. I just figured that folks would appreciate having a reliable hosting service for the project. Going back through the past, it seems that there's been a lot of arguement and not much action on getting things into a unified system, so I figured I'd just go and do it. What's your objection to having a centralized development location with proper version control and stuff. As a non-code my ability to contribute in other ways is limited, but i figured that getting stuff into a workable SVN tree would be a valuable contribution for those who DO code.

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I know that several people are mysteriously against this, but I think this is a great idea! Only problem is, it has already been done (although it does not appear to have been used yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 How, exactly? It just happened, didn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 My suggestion: Upload the OSX version (executable + code) to the project . -- edit: changed project from this . Upload the Win32 version (executable + code) once the licensing issue is fixed. -- partially done (licensing issue still needs fixing) Get Jeff to put a link to the project here so that everyone knows that this is the "official" project. Continue developing (Since no work has been done, it does not matter which project is chosen as official.) (Edit: Based on activity, it seems that blades-of-exile is the official project. The oboe project could hypothetically still be used for the improvements project, but it seems a little pointless to me...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Nasarius Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well at the moment, *neither* project has anything in the SVN repo. If someone wants to actually get the ball rolling, I'll gladly contribute to any effort porting the BoE code to real object-oriented C++.

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The most recent version for Mac is available here . I think it's a DARCS repository or something like that. I think there is some work in progress right now, but I'm not quite sure who's doing it. (Maybe *i or Khoth?). The current release for Mac is still not on Google Code, so if you have a mac and you can get madcrow to add you to the project, you could upload it. As for contributing, please do (if you have the time and are willing). If you use a Mac, the source is in the link at the top of the post. For Windows, the source is here . Don't download it from the BoE site as that is now out of date. The versions I linked to have already been ported to OSX and Win32 respectively, but there is a distinct lack of a character editor for both platforms. Perhaps you could help with that?
