CVS problems again.

by Stefan Lundmark · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/08/2004 (2:26 am) · 6 replies

So I was going to redownload TSE from CVS, hoping to solve some of the problems I've had.

I went into garagegames cvs as usual, and went to checkout.
Then this came up:

Quote:
cvs -z3 checkout tse (in directory C:\torque)
cvs checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password

Fatal error, aborting.
cvs [checkout aborted]: Symlink: authentication failed

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

I have never seen that one before, ever.
So I did as the message says, and used the command line.
When checking-out the module, this came up:

Quote:
cvs -z3 checkout tse (in directory C:\torque)
cvs server: cannot find module 'tse' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

I'm a bit confused what the problem is.
CVS reports "code 0" when I login so my login is working.
I've tried restarting CVS and relogging a dozen times now, none of that helps.

When you checkout click the "General" Tab and change torque to tse.

I've already done that, it's described in the TSE documention.

Edit: I'm going to update my CVS to a newer version.

Alright, I just tried to download Torque trough CVS and that worked perfectly fine. I cannot believe this is a problem on my end. I just changed module from "tse" to "torque" and torque downloads. If I change back, it doesn't work.

Here are my settings

Authentication: pserver
Path: /cvs/tse
Host address: cvs.garagegames.com
User name: symlink
CVSROOT: symlink@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/tse

The path should be /cvs/tse and the module should be tse.

My settings are already reflecting that Ben.

Make sure you logout of the torque CVS first.

Wipe your tse dir of all CVS files, or do a new checkout to a new dir.

In the menu - go to create/checkout module. Put tse as the module name, NOT cvs/tse.

Also make sure you don't have a directory selected in the file selection area that is a CVS module. Select some other dir, or it will try to log you into whatever cvs module you have selected.
