Checkout dialog

Success dialog

To get the latest source using Tortoise SVN (svn checkout for the console version), simply do these steps:

• Install Toroise SVN (see link above)
• Go into Windows Explorer
• Make a new folder for the source (in this example, C:\OHRRPGCE)
• Browse to that folder
• Right click, and choose "SVN Checkout..." from the list
• In the "URL of Repository" box, enter the URL to the repository https://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/source/wip
• In the "Checkout Directory" box, make sure it shows the folder you want to use.
• Click OK!

You should see a dialog similar to this one, which indicates the progress of the Checkout. When it's done, it'll say so.

To find out the current status of your copy of the source (svn status for the console version):

• Right click on the folder, and select Tortoise SVN->Check For Modifications.

• Browse to the source folder in Explorer
• Right click on the folder (to make a patch for all changed files) or the appropriate files (for specific files) and choose Tortoise SVN->Create Patch
• Choose a filename for the patch, and press "Save"
