CVS instructions gone?

by Drew Parker · in Torque Game Engine · 11/12/2004 (6:49 pm) · 9 replies

Hi all,

Is it just me, or are the CVS instructions gone? I want to download a fresh HEAD and haven't done it in a while (some other guy on my team usually does that), so I can't remember the CVS settings, but I can't find the instructions. I went to the download section to click on the CVS download instructions link, which is this:

http://www.garagegames.com/docs/torque/general/cvs

But I keep getting sent here:

http://www.garagegames.com/docs/torque/general/apb.php

And only find stuff on compiling but not on CVS. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be looking somewhere else for that info?

Thanks for any who reply!

Well, I went to the "My Garage" section to click on "notify me" for this thread, and clicked on the download link there, and got taken to a TGE 1.3 website download link. I thought I looked for that on the Download page initially, but all I saw was 1.2. Looks like I didn't look hard enough. I guess I am all set.

FYI, CVS is basically going away (if it hasn't already). GG has made downloadable installers for 1.3, and as far as I know plan on not really posting small incremental changes to a repository, instead releasing minor/major upgrades every few months.

CVS is still available, but as Stephen has observed, we're trying to shift people away to the installers. It's a lot less hassle overall, and we're all about good user experiences. ;)

Drew - "Well, I went to the "My Garage" section to click on "notify me" for this thread, and clicked on the download link there, and got taken to a TGE 1.3 website download link."

I'm so glad you said that. I've been trying to get to the new download link by following the link on the regular TGE page, and it takes me to CVS instructions or the 1.2 demo. Thanks to you I found the 1.3 I was looking for. :-D

I'd forgotten that our profiles have the links to private SDK stuff.

Well, I'm almost ashame to mention this. But I can't find the new v1.3 installer.

I read these posts but I just don't see it.

Russ,

1. Click on the "My Garage" link at the top of the page (make sure you're logged in).

2. Scroll down to "Downloadable Products You Own" and it should list the engine:

Torque Game Engine SDK "Indie" Licence

Next to it there should be a link marked "Download".

That should work for you.

Alternatively, while logged in, go here:

Hope this helps.

Yes, the CVS instructions aren't on the website right now. CVS is still alive and you can use it to login and get updates, and we'll continue to keep it alive. However, it's basically just provided for advanced users who are already familiar with CVS and how to use it. We no longer offer official support for CVS, but I will get the old CVS docs up as a resource in the near future.

Thanks Josh I had no problem setting up CVS before with the docs. I'm probably going to be transferring all my work to a new machine soon and I was concerned I would struggle to set everything up again after so long.

Todd: Thanks for the instructions again. I was not seeing the "Downloadable Products You Own" in My Garage and found that I had an option unchecked (Summary - Products) in my preferences. I check marked it and like MAGIC, there was my link fro products I own.

Thanks again.
