Since I finally got around to setting up a SVN module on the server (which was troublesome to say the least), I had a quick chat with Nerdfish and we decided to set up a repository for the SS&T source.

This will make it easier for everyone to access the latest copies of the sourcecode, and also make editing it more consistent - and actually allow for sensible multi-user edits.

If you want to access it, please point your SVN client to http://svn.gpio.org/ssnt - you can use your web browser to just download the files too, but it’s not recommended.

The repository allows full read access for anonymous users; if you’d like to commit something, you need to be registered on the forums, and have a SVN account - ask me for it. If you just have some minor changes, just create a patch and send it over, and we’ll merge it.

You should also review the guideline and howto before using the repository, or if you’re having trouble with it.

I might also go over the solution (not the code) to see if I can’t figure out how to make it compile regardless of the environment it’s in. It’s currently somewhat tied to Nerdfish’s folder structure.

Well, after feeling a bit annoyed at the fact that all the documentation is generally spread across 25 files (which contain incorrect URLs and look like crap), I decided to take on the gigantic project of reformatting, editing, and compiling it all into sensible documents.

So, all the old physics/gameplay/etc documents are now gone. If you really want them, they’re hiding somewhere on the server, have fun finding them. Anyhow, I did a quick query before deleting the DB entries: SELECT SUM(downloads) FROM `downloads` WHERE category=”pdf” AND name!=”" AND SUBSTR(name, 1, 4) != “uecv” -> 1699. 1699 downloads of silly little documents.

Oh well.

Anyhow, the new ones can be found below, as well as in the download section:
SS&T Engine documentation (92 pages, 551 kB)
SS&T Gameplay documentation (28 pages, 232 kB)
The Tor’val (13 pages, 156 kB)

I might update the styling on the Frontier books themselves, but there won’t be any editing - I’ve already spent 15-20 hours dealing with the current mangled mess.

Enjoy.
