Git nooby help please...

[Amun]

I never used git before but installed it yesterday and used the command on download page to get the development version. Now I'm just wondering how do I get the latest updates thru using the terminal? (using ubuntu karmic)

To update the client, you'll go into it's folder (~/tmw/src/tmw):

cd (path to source)

To update the source:

git pull

And then recompile:

thanks, it all seemed to work up until I tried to recompile and it says "no make file found"

Code: Select all

steven@steven-desktop:~$ cd .tmw/src

like the blind leading the blind, but i'll continue to try to help...

try this from your src directory

autoreconf -i
./configure --prefix=$HOME/tmw --with-server=eathena

then

make

AhhhhhaRRRRRRRRrrr!!!!

/me bangs head off keyboard

Okay so I'm an idiot I think. I thought I had the development version after using that command on the download page, but I think it was still reading my other version.... I don't even know what is what any more I confused myself so bad lol...... I just uninstantiated everything and reinstalled using the package manager.....

What I was trying to do was get the latest updates so the "broken update" that my client auto downloaded that f*cked up my game would be fixed

So next question is there away to get the latest update that fixes it without having to download the source and compile it myself or can I revert to the update prior to the one that broke the game for me?

and by broke I mean the problem stated in this topic

Sorry for my noobiness lol... I'm just beyond confused right now

PS

Thanks for help

What you did with git was getting the development version of the client software. But the current problems are caused by a buggy content update, not a client software update. These are two different things.

The content is updated automatically via the update system. A client software update on the other hand has to be done manually by using the packet management system of your OS, an installer package, compiling it yourself from source like you just tried or by doing whatever is your preferred way to install software on your operating system.

What you need to fix the current problems is the development version of the game content. You don't have to compile anything to use the dev version of the content files. You just have to use git to pull the files to a local directory and change the shortcut to the TMW client to pass it the command line options to use this directory as the data directory and skip the updateserver.

How to do this is described here as "Method B": http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... =13&t=2617
