DSDG's How-To Guides
Under Construction! Please Check
back later. The Getting Started
Guide is being replaced by the following information.
Topics include: SourceForge Tools,
DS Tools, 3D Tools
SourceForge Tools - Forums, Tasks,
Email Lists, CVS, web sites, File Release
Forums - click the 'Monitor Forum' to have
emails sent to you whenever someone posts to this forum. 'Save
Place' allows you to know where you left off in the Forum
by taking a timestamp and changing the color of the any post
placed before that time.
Tasks - Keep up with your Tasks in the
Task Manager.
Look for the appropriate project. You can add Tasks. You can
assign tasks to folks if you are a Lead. Appropriate partys
will be sent an email when assigned or information for a task
has changed.
Email Lists - Does your project need one?
Are you on a project that has one? Remember
to subscribe. Everyone should be on the dsdevguild-team
mailing list.
CVS - All of our data, files, notes, web
sites are in CVS. This allows us to have versioned files and
eases the effort of people sharing work and working on the
same files. Would you like to learn how to setup CVS access
from your PC? We have 3 documents: WinCVS
Guide, TortoiseCVS,
and The
Coward's Guide to CVS. We will try to merge the docs together,
but for now you'll have to look at them. WinCVS Guide has
more of the basic info as does Coward's Guide. The TortoiseCVS
is the easy tool for doing mainipulation of CVS files just
from your Windows File Explorer... but it still requires a
lot of the inital setup that is described in the WinCVS Guide.
Simply replace actions on WinCVS for actions on TortoiseCVS
(i.e. you'll still need to run SFSetup tool after TortoiseCVS
is installed).
Web Sites - (info on setting up your project
on the web sites needed.) In short, keep your web site local
hrefs relative to the document (not the site root). Zip up
the web site and mail it to dsdevguild-guildweb@lists.sourceforge.net
and we will publish it out.
File Release - want to release a file?
(more info coming soon)
Temp Web Space - would you like to release
some temporary files to the internet for sharing with others
or viewing? http://dsdevguild.sourceforge.net/temp/ is just
the place. You would have had to setup SSH and been
able to connect to the servers. Also, you would need to be
sure scp was installed. To move the file temp.gif to
the web page type the following at the command prompt while
connected to the internet (replacing your username for mine):
scp temp.gif mccann@shell.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/d/ds/dsdevguild/htdocs/temp
DS Tools - Skrit, SiegeEditor
Modeling - 3DS, Unwrapping
Unwrapping - GarageGames's arcticle on
Unwrapping
