[QUOTE=MasterZior;17582783]i cant install svn on my vista :S.[/QUOTE]

Can't help you for two reasons:
- You didn't give me enough information. [I]Nobody[/I] can help you with that little to go on.
- I'm not a SVN developer or anything.. I don't know [I]everything[/I] about SVN.
You could try giving me some more information, and asking on SVN's help and support page.

[Carlisle]

Master;

don't blame Vista. the issue (likely) lies with needing admin rights to install Tortoise.

Also, yeah, more info would be nice

[rometkotka]

stargate svn dosnt work :(
Checkout from [url]http://svn.daggeringcats.com/stargate[/url], revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
OPTIONS of 'http://svn.daggeringcats.com/stargate': Could not read status line:
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
([url]http://svn.daggeringcats.com[/url])
Finished!

[Carlisle]

Rometkotka, the server avon (guy who made the Stargate SVN) uses is currently down.

When his server is working again, the SVN will work again

I can't help you with installation issues. You'll have to ask on the tortoisesvn site for help.

[QUOTE=MasterZior;17794663]I dont know why i cant install svn on vista. its says that windows installer cant be found. btw I suck at computers, so I'm gonna blame my OS[/QUOTE]

I agree

[Mr. solid]

i know this has nothing to do with anything, but the wire download has a lua file that makes a pop up everytime you play and it says you didn't install it correctly, and it got pretty annoying so i took it out ,
and it was better.

That message is there for a reason.

That's like taking pain medicine for your broken leg instead of going to the hospital and fixing it.

To fix it, click the link in step 13 of the tutorial.

The green tick indicates that it is a Checkouted folder.
Click the link in step 13 of the tutorial to see how to correctly install wiremod.

OMG!! Thanx so much, this really helped me out.

You're not supposed to be able to update Exported addons.
You should Checkout to a folder outside of the addons folder, then export the folder (in this case 3 folders: "wire", "wire model pack", "adv duplicator") to your addons folder (basically what the entire tutorial tells you to do).

[rabbid]

why are all my phx3 models error?

[Divran]

[QUOTE=rabbid;17904931]why are all my phx3 models error?[/QUOTE]

Do exactly what the video tells you (except for the pushing cancel bit, lol). I even used PHX as an example in it. If you [I]still[/I] can't get it working after your 5th try or something, add me to steam.

[url]http://www.garrysmod.org/user/?u=71937&rnum=757568[/url] my profile look at the stuff i made

[Jedibling]

This was really helpful. I already had phx3 and wiremod but the other svn links really helped :)

(btw why shouldn't u export stuff directly in addons folder?)

[Divran]

[QUOTE=Jedibling;17987055](btw why shouldn't u export stuff directly in addons folder?)[/QUOTE]

You mean "why shouldn't you [I]checkout[/I] things directly in the addons folder?"

I explained this in the tutorial, and in the FAQ, so that means you didn't read it.

Edit: Actually, it's not in the FAQ, but it is in the tutorial. Putting it in the FAQ now.

[elite879]

I exported the folders but it makes them non SVN again so I can't update? That supposed to happen? because you did say: "When you update your addons, it only downloads the files that have been modified since the last time you updated!" but I can't update now =/

[hexpunK]

[QUOTE=elite879;18009496]I exported the folders but it makes them non SVN again so I can't update? That supposed to happen? because you did say: "When you update your addons, it only downloads the files that have been modified since the last time you updated!" but I can't update now =/[/QUOTE]

Exporting removes the .svn hidden folders, so there is no versioning left anymore, you can just update and export the folder you kept out of the garrysmod directory though.

The tutorial explains this. But it seems you didn't understand something.. So here we go again.

You download the addons to a folder outside the garrysmod folder, then you export them to your addons folder. To update the addon, simply go back to the one that is outside the addons folder and update it, then re-export it. (Basically what hexpunk said)

[elite879]

ah, I see. oops. I deleted the ones out of my garrysmod folder..........*sigh* ah well.

[Vortigauntful]

Thanks for the tutorial.

[jonnopon3000]

My laptop showed almost no increase in performance upon doing this, and due to having to keep the SVNd folders to update I have lost 3.26 GB of HDD space.

This method was...a useless hour spent in my opinion, but good for less good computers.

Yeah, well it's your choice. And if you are short on space I suppose you wouldn't want to export, as it uses up more space having two copies of the addon.

[S Cosgrove]

My friend directed me to this page and i can see why. I found this very useful as this is my first time using SVN and found the content very well explained. Well done!

[Killerpotato]

Thanks man this was an awesome Tutorial. Danke very moosh

[QUOTE=Divran;13583073]Hello everyone. Welcome to my SVN Tutorial.

I KNOW the computer I took the screenshots on is in SWEDISH, but you should be able to understand what it says anyway.

So let's get started.

[release]:science: [b]YOUTUBE VERSION![/b] :science:
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQgetjwgF9M[/url]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQgetjwgF9M[/media]
[/release]

[release]:science: [b]WRITTEN VERSION![/b] :science:
[b]1)[/b] Download it. [url]www.tortoisesvn.net[/url] (Choose the correct INSTALLER - not a GPG signature.)
[IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x318/Arvidenbom/svntutorialdownload.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x318/Arvidenbom/svntutorialdownloadprt2.jpg[/IMG]

[b]2)[/b] Install it.
[b]3)[/b] When the installation program asks you to restart your computer, click No. (If SVN does not work after you have clicked no, then restart your computer. But if it does work, then there you go!)
[b]4)[/b] Make a new folder somewhere (somewhere you can remember where it is, because you will be going there a lot). Name that folder something like "SVN Addons". This is where you will keep all your SVN'd addons. This folder can be anywhere EXCEPT inside your Steam or Garrysmod folders.
[IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x318/Arvidenbom/svntutorialnewfolder.jpg[/IMG]
(Sorry about taking this screenshot on a swedish computer. In english, the above picture says "New -> Folder")

[b]4B)[/b] [highlight]Optional.[/highlight] Make a shortcut to that place and put it on your desktop for quicker access

[b]5)[/b] [highlight]Scroll down to the bottom of this post[/highlight], where I have added some of the more usefull SVN links (But not all of them!)

If you are looking for another SVN, which isn't in my list, chances are it's here:
[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=SVN_Links[/url]
[url]http://www.snakesvx.net/index.php/module_Wiki2/title_Help_Info_SVN[/url]

[b]6)[/b] Copy the SVN link of an addon of your choice from one of those two sites (or the list of links at the bottom of this post)
[IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x318/Arvidenbom/svntutorialcopylink.jpg[/IMG]

[b]7)[/b] Make a new folder inside the folder you created in step 4.
[b]8)[/b] Name that folder something so that you will remember what's in it (for PHX, name it PHX or PHX3 or something).

[b]9)[/b] Right click the folder
[b]10)[/b] click SVN Checkout
[IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x318/Arvidenbom/svntutorialcheckout.jpg[/IMG]

[b]11)[/b] paste the link you copied (in step 6) into "URL of repository"
[IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x318/Arvidenbom/svntutorialcheckoutprt2.jpg[/IMG]

[b]12)[/b] click OK
[b]12B)[/b] Some addons require a pass and username. They will both be either "anonsvn" or "anon".
[b]12C)[/b] You will now be downloading the addon.

[b]13)[/b] Now comes the real pain in the ass. Exporting.
You must now Right click each SVN'd addon and click TortoiseSVN -> Export, and export them into the Garrysmod/addons folder. [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=15197368&postcount=150][highlight][b]NOTE:[/b][/highlight] Click here if you are downloading Stargate or Wiremod![/url]
[IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x318/Arvidenbom/svntutorialexport.jpg[/IMG]

You might ask why you should make the folders OUTSIDE of the addons folder and not just place them directly in the addons folder and skip the Exporting?
This is because when you download an addon using SVN, it makes invsible files that contain information that SVN uses (for example for knowing which files you don't yet have when you Update an addon). These files are very small, but if you put them all together, they DOUBLE the size of the addon in question.
And you know that the bigger your addons folder is, the more Gmod laggs and the longer it has to load.
So, if you do an Export on SVN'd folders, SVN will copy that folder for you and clean it of the invisible folders, thus making your Gmod non-slowed down :D

[b]14)[/b] Do steps 6 to 13 over and over again for every addon you want.

[b]15)[/b] To update, Right click an SVN'd folder and click Update.
[IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x318/Arvidenbom/svntutorialupdate.jpg[/IMG]

[B]Alternative way of exporting:[/B] Don't like to right click and look for the Gmod Addons folder every time you want to export?
[I]1)[/I] Open both the SVN Addons folder and the Gmod Addons folder so that they are side by side on your screen.
[I]2)[/I] [I]Right click,[/I] hold down, drag and drop the SVN Addon from the SVN Addons folder into your Gmod Addons folder.
[I]3)[/I] Click Export To Here.

[release]:science: [b]MY VERY OWN SVN LINK[/b] :science:
This is MY VERY OWN Svn link! Here I will upload anything I make with lua, for you to download and try. Note that I [highlight]SUCK[/highlight] at lua, so don't compare it to epic shit like Wiremod, SBMP, Stargate and others.
Please comment and report any bugs you find.

http://divranspack.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ divranspack

This SVN is [b]mainly[/b] for me to practice my lua skills, and [B]secondarily[/B] for creating lua things for other people.
To better hone my skills, though, I need your help to think of things to create, and to spot bugs. [/release]
