Hey Juergen

There is a VC6 folder with a VC6 workspace (*.dsw) and there is a VC7 folder with a VC7 solution.
are you sure you got the whole package?

Hmm,

don't see any folder like that.

Will it be downloaded with CVS automatically?

Don't see any options in CVS to change anything there.

Florain,

did a new CVS - checkout - but got only a bin, CVS, cw, doc and engine folder.

Sure I did something wrong

Get a clean copy and see if that solves your problems.

David,

what do you mean with clean copy?

Using WinCVS I don't know how to do that.

thanks!

I now relaized that wincvs is responding with code 1 instead of code 0 when I try to log in.

Don't know what I am doing wrong because I am using the same username and password from

this site here. Is that wrong? I don't think so.

But why will cvs load some modules - but not all - when I do a checkout?

Using wincsv 2.0.2.4

Maybe you will find your answers here.

The GG servers only allow a limited bandwhich per day ... maybe you did download too much for today

If you are already logged in then you will Get an error code of 1 when you try to re log in. And since when you update your source tree you are getting some information I would say that you are logged in. If you were using 1.3 before you should blow away the current directory, and use checkout instead of update, and there is a check box for create missing directories that exist in the repository. Look for it if you are doing an update.

Your login should look like

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/torque login

Your update should look something like

cvs -z3 update -P -d

If you are not using the -z3 tag it is bad as well, because that enables compression which GG wants you to use to cut down on bandwidth.

Steven, many thanks for your anwer, but I am now more confused.

Does "cvs -z3 -d :pserver:@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/torque login" mean I will get the 1.3 version or the 1.4?

As I need 1.4, I learned to use "/cvs/tge". Is this wrong?

I always did an checkout - no update.

Where can I enable the compression with wincvs?

thanks you for all your help!
