First, make sure that you have JDK 6

Guide for eclipse users

Installation of Eclipse
- Download and install eclipse
- Download and install Subversive

Importing from SVN
- Open eclipse. If you want, switch to a special OpenWar workspace
- Go to File -> New -> Project
- Select SVN -> Projects from SVN

If you have not previously imported a project from SVN:
- Create a new repository location
- URL = svn://victoryengine.org/home/svn/
- If you want to edit files, enter your account data (get it from me)
- Click "Next"

If you have previously imported a project from SVN:
- Select the Victory repository
- Click "Next"

Importing from SVN (continued)
- Select "trunk/engine" from the resource tree
- Click finish
- "Check out as project configured using the New Project Wizard"
- Pick "Java Project"
- Enter a project name, e.g. "Victory"
- Make sure it's using JDK or JRE 1.6 (JDK preferred)
- Click "Finish"
- Wait for the SVN contents to get imported

Configuring the project to compile correctly
- Right click the project and click "Properties"
- Go to "Java build path"
- Go to the "Source" tab
- Remove the single folder in the tree
- Click "Add folder"
- Select the "src" directory and click OK
- Next to the "default output folder" field, click Browse, create/select "bin-eclipse" and click OK
- Go to the "Libraries" tab
- Click "Add JARs..."
- Select and add all .jar files in the "lib" directory
- Expand "jinput.jar"
- Select native library location and click Edit
- Click browse and select the lib directory
- Close the properties by clicking OK

Testing
Right-click "src/org/victoryengine/test/GameTest.java" and run as Java application

Other IDE users
- Import from svn://victoryengine.org/home/svn/trunk/engine
- Use build.xml with Apache Ant to build the project
Note: we're using Eclipse as the IDE for our project. While we're trying to make this project as portable as possible, we don't officially support other development environments

Don't commit:
_bin/*
bin/*
export/*
doc/*
.classpath
.project
(or any other automatically generated resource)

I keep getting a "Doesn't contain main type" error whenever I run it.

Edit, nevermind. I read Solinx's problem in the other thread. It's hilarious, I've been having this problem for months (I had tried before today) and it never occured to me to read the posts in one of the threads

Stupid thing won't accept my username/password, so I can't commit my stuff >_<

I hadn't added you yet.
I've now added "darvin" (and I presume there aren't any others) as developer to SVN

You mean Sourceforge account?  Yes, there is another Darvin, and it isn't me.  My account on sourceforge is Dasrak (as per my email).

Updated

Upload successful :-)

Into the wrong project

You've commited to game2d, which is the Victory Engine

Anyway, I'm not sure where you could upload it. There's no project for the RPG yet (only the crappy demo).
I'll make an experiments folder

edit: done, you can put it in a new folder in /experiments, e.g. /experiments/skillsystem

Heh, I just submitted an update to the old place.  I'll remove that, then.

I've written a simple download guide on the wiki, and have added the link to it above.

hi,
what is the correct svn path? i tried:
svn://victoryengine.org/home/victory/svn
svn://victoryengine.org/home/victory/svn/trunk/engine
svn://victoryengine.org/home/svn
svn://victoryengine.org/home/svn/trunk/engine

non of these works.
thx!

[svn://victoryengine.org/home/victory/svn/trunk/engine]

The correct path is
svn://victoryengine.org/home/victory/svn/trunk/engine

It should work. If it doesn't, can you tell us what exactly seems to go wrong?

Thx but, nope, doesn't work by me.

With TortoiseSVN 1.4.3: Error: Can't connect to host 'victoryengine.org': A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.   

With Eclipse+Subclipse:     A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.  svn: Can't connect to host 'victoryengine.org': A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. 

Oh, maybe it's the net policy at our company... :/ I'll try it at home soon...

OK, it was the company net, works at home.
Thx for the url!

Glad that it works

If you have any more problem building, running or using the engine, don't hesitate to ask.
