SVN Build, Do It Yourself

[RedSypher]

OK, now I know that this question has been asked alot, but is there any way to get the latest SVN up and working on a Mac? I was apprehensive before, but someone added something that I need to finish a card (Cryptic Command) and I'm excited to get it done. Anyone out there wanna clue me in? (Thank you forever whoever decides to help)

Some people install bootcamp and Windows on their Mac or they use one of the virtualization apps. This would allow a Mac person to use Snakco's scripts under Windows on their Mac and they could then transfer the the zip archive over to the Mac OS.

It might be possible to modify Snakco's scripts and to make it run-able under the Mac OS Terminal app which can be found in /Applications/Utilities/. I use a Mac myself but I do not have any experience in the Mac OS Terminal's commands.

Before the SVN was set up, the forge betas typically included the source code as part of the archive. I found and downloaded a Mac version of Eclipse and installed it on my computer. This allowed me to build the source code on my Mac.

When the SVN was set up I searched the web and found a matching set of Subversion and Subclipse. I installed these on my computer and asked for commit status.

every time that i compile a new version or download a new beta, there are now decks and i have to copy and paste the ones that i had before into the corresponding folder. it has happened that these decks use cards that were dropped in the updated version. is there some place that i can get updated deck sets?

The three fantasy cards that Rares created were removed several betas ago over the last year and a half there have been three or four cards renamed to the correct name. In total there are only a few cards and old decks that are impacted by this problem.

If you load the problem deck into an older version of forge, you can then delete the problem card from the deck and save the deck with the remaining good cards. Then reload the deck into the new version of forge and add either the renamed card back into the deck or add a card that is similar.

If you decide that you would like to try to install Eclipse, Subversion and Subclipse on your Mac, then I and other people can help you to get started. We have a topic on the Developer's Corner portion of the forge forum named How to get started?

This topic includes the info people need to get set up and it will help to smooth out the learning curve. This would give you the ability to keep your local copy of Forge up to date. As an added benefit, it would also allow you to add new cards into the SVN for everyone to enjoy. It takes a little initial work to get started, but it can be a rewarding experience.

Since it is done to update forge with SVN?

[Ulthwithian]

Usage:
run-first.bat > sets up local copy of SVN run this the first time you use the package or if you delete forge-svn directory
update-and-build.bat > updates your local copy and builds forge, once it's done you get forge directory with all you need and a forge.zip which is a compressed copy of this directory

I did this, and when I try to run the Forge.exe in the Forge directory created, I get an error saying that it doesn't have the NewGameGUI, I think.

Does anyone know if I missed a step?

This is a known issue.
