Making a Source mod on a team - Developers

Hi, I am approaching the making of a source mod. Me (I live in Italy) and my friend (he lives in another state) are gonna work on it. How can we share the mod resources and work together at it? I was thinking about svn, is it applicable to a source mod? And what site to host it, can I host it on google code?

SVN is probably the best option. I don't think google provides private SVN though

Google Code also supports Mercurial (hg) which I've heard is pretty good. But if you use Google Code, everyone will be able to look at your stuff, they won't be able to write to your Svn, but they can see it. Some sites offer a private Svn, but that costs money. I don't know if Google offers private repositories though. I know Github.com offers private repositories for $7 a month, but you'd have to use Git, which is my personal favorite. Git has always been aimed at Linux, but there is a Windows port named msysgit. [editline]02:06PM[/editline] [url]http://github.com/plans[/url]

So you are saying that people will be able to read/download my stuff at any time... so this would exploit the mod because people could compile it before relase and play it. Are you sure isn't there anyway to protect the source from being read on google code, or that all the private svn's must be payed?

You could host one yourself with IIS. You'll need to forward your ports, though. (port 80)

I don't know why but I can't even host source dedicated servers (maybe because I don't have a static ip, maybe because my dad won't let me access my router's firewall to forward ports, because he thinks "hackers" can break in our computer if only one port is open :downs:) so I don't know if I will be able to host my svn and make it possible to access for other people.

If you let me know what the mod is about I'll host one for you.

You could use [url=www.getdropbox.com]Dropbox[/url]. Although you would have to move the files to the dropbox folder to share them, so that might not be what you're looking for.

CVSDude is a pretty good repository hosting site. Despite the name, they offer both CVS and SVN hosting for individuals and teams. They have a pretty good free package (you only get a single login, but more than one person can use it). You also get some other tools including bugzilla, git, trac and lots of other useful shit. (Free package can be found at [url]http://cvsdude.com/products/free-subversion-hosting.html[/url])

There's also [url=http://www.assembla.com/]Assembla[/url], which offers incredible source control and project management integration. It contains a feature for just about anything really. The only problem is that the free project spaces require your SVN repo to be visible to all viewers, you have to buy a paid space to only allow registered users/members access the code.

I found [url]http://origo.ethz.ch[/url] and it's perfect. It's completely free and offers 5GB expandable space, closed/open source projects, and blog, community or wiki creation on the same site, all free.

Right but you can probably use a IIS module just like you can use apache to connect to your SVN repo.
