Cvs Info?

by Jesse Butler · in Torque Game Engine · 04/27/2005 (1:33 pm) · 2 replies

I just got the Torque Engine, and have been reading up on it before getting started. I noticed in some threads that you can get version 1.4 through CVS, but I can't find any instructions on how to set that up. Did I just miss it? I know there is a lot of documentation. Anyway, since I'm starting a project from scratch, I'd like to begin with the latest version.

Thanks for the help,
Jesse

Jesse.
In the documentation should be how to set up CVS however may I highly dis-recommend it. 1.4 is still in testing phase and is not yet release stable. This means you may actually brick wall yourself quite easily trying to work around what may be a error in that code that has yet to be fixed. Your best bet is to always start with the stable version, and check if you need any features from the next release version and migrate as it becomes stable.

David's advice about 1.4 being unstable is good. However, here's the cvs info just so you can check it out if you want to.

The short version is to set CVSROOT to:
yourlogin@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/torque

Make sure you have compression set to 6, and then login using your gg account password.
