CVS

#1 If your game is open source (any license will do) Sourceforge will give you lots of goodies, including CVS, for free.

#2 Currently the CVS server is only for the Torque engine. We have talked about providing some sort of CVS hosting service if there's enough interest, but it's not something we're working on right now. We'd probably charge some nominal fee to cover our bandwidth costs. As Adam points out, you could try SourceForge. They provide a whole project package, including CVS.

#3 yeah I am a member of sourceforge and am working on another game there. but I wanted to know what i got for signing up here. Will you publish any decent game (i won't try pushing sh*t on you) even if it doesn't use v12 and is open source? what else do you get for signing up here? web space? (I know its at SF.net as well). Is there a list of advantages or reasons to sign up or advantages for signing up somewhere?


thanks, lachlan.

#4 You've already signed up :) Buying the SDK is buying a license to use the Torque engine... you get access to the source, some documentation and access to private forums. If you have your own engine then you don't need to purchase it.

#5 Just a reminder, this should be obvious, you cannot put the Torque source on SourceForge.

#6 forgive my ignorance...but what's CVS? :)

#7 CVS is a version control system used to manage and version development resources. You can find out more about it here.

#8 so.. If i go open source, will GG still publish any games we make?

when you say publish you mean burn cds, print pakages, etc?

If i go open source then I will go with something like what linux (open source) does now. the OS is free but people pay for packaging and handleing + added features + other good stuff. Does that sound alright to you guys?

#9 Whether you release your source code or not doesn't make any difference to us. You might want to start another topic about publishing issues, Jeff normally handles those. I'm sure he's not ready this thread with CVS as the topic :)

#10 Actually, I read most of the threads:)

We only guarantee to publish all TGE products. We are going to be very picky about publishing products that are not created with the Torque.

#11 so in other word no. you probably won't publish anything we make. thats ok. thats all i was after. I think i'll go open source and get it on sf.net. then if i think its good enough i'll get on the horn and let you all know. see what you think. that'll probably be a good few years but.

Thanks,
Lachlan
