Introduction

Repository Reference

Blood Omnicide repository stores all files needed for the development process. It contains game files, media, sourcecodes, useful tools and other helpful stuff that makes life easier when working on various aspects of the game. Blood Omnicide repository stores project at its very latest development state and all previous versions.

Before you start working with Blood Omnicide repository, be sure to learn how version control systems works and particulary subversion.

Getting a working copy

This is actually first step on work with Blood Omnicide repository - get a working copy of the repository.

Install SVN client (for Windows TortoiseSVN is recommended). For executing svn checkout command you only need to get repository address, password is not required.

Important: Make sure path to working copy folder is nice and doesn't contain non-latin characters and whitespaces:

// Wrong
c:\Documents and Settings\Администратор\Desktop\Blood Omnicide Repository
// Correct
c:\OmnicideSVN

Downloading full working copy takes about 4GB of bandwidth. Downloaded working copy takes about 10GB, make sure you have at least double of that as it will grow up with time.

Important: By default checkout will download all stuff of svn, including base game and optional DLC packages. In order to reduce download size you can exclude kain_dlc folder from being downloaded by pressing "Choose items..." button in "Checkout Depth" group of Checkout window. Also you can exclude "misc" and "devkit" folder if you only planning to test stuff. If you are updating SVN, you can set the checkout depth in "Update to Revision" menu.

Tip: Download can be stopped and resumed at any time
