Repository Reference

Contents 1 Getting a working copy 2 Looking around

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 3GB of bandwidth. Downloaded working copy takes about 10GB, make sure you have at least double of that as it will grow up with time.
