HG Build Server - Tortoise SVN Tutorial and Download Links

[fRacture]

Step 1: Download TortoiseSVN.

http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads

 

After you install TortoiseSVN, restart your computer if necessary then continue.

 

Step 2: Navigate to your Garry's Mod folder. Which can be found by going to Program Files > Steam > steamapps > Your Account Name > garrysmod > garrysmod

 

Step 3: Go into your "addons" folder and create 3 new folders PHX, pewpew, and Wiremod.

 

 

Step 4: Right click on your "Wiremod" folder and click "SVN Checkout".

 

Step 5: Enter "https://wiremod.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wiremod/trunk/" into the address bar and click ok.

***If prompted for a username and password use anonsvn for username and anonsvn for password.***

 

Step 6: Once the download completes, move the following folders from "\garrysmod\addons\Wiremod" to "\garrysmod\addons"

-wire

-wire model pack 1

-Adv Duplicator

 

Step 7: Right click on your PHX folder and click "SVN Checkout" and enter "https://phoenix-storms.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phoenix-storms/" into the address bar.

 

Then proceed to right click on your "pewpew" folder and click "SVN Checkout" and enter "http://divranspack.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ divranspack/PewPew/".

 

Your addons folder should now have the same SVN folders as I do.

 

Step 8: Miscellaneous Downloads

You don't need the lua folder from wiremod, that's only there to tell people they installed it wrong if they leave it all in one folder.

I was debating on whether or not to taking it off, but I decided to leave it there since its better for the new people installing Wiremod if they see a message that they installed it correctly.

It's not recommended to checkout to the addons folder because it causes GMod to lag more. If you were to do this I suggest making a folder on your desktop.

Proof? I do not experience FPS decrease/increase when I have Tortoise removed.

well good job but the PHX folder is huge

Very, which is why Soccer didn't want to do fast downloads for the Build server.

If you remove Tortoise then you're fine. If you leave it then it lags.

Proof? I do not experience decrease/increase IN FPS OR LAG when I have Tortoise removed.

 

There I changed it for you.

Like I was saying.. If you don't uninstall Tortoise after you do all this checkout shit and you leave it installed on your system it will lag, is it that hard to understand?

I don't lag at all, and you need tortoise svn to update wire and a few other addons

I'm just stating what I heard on Facepunch.

Here you go Fracture:

You might ask why you should make the folders OUTSIDE of the addons folder and not just place them directly in the addons folder and skip the Exporting?

This is because when you download an addon using SVN, it makes invsible files that contain information that SVN uses (for example for knowing which files you don't yet have when you Update an addon). These files are very small, but if you put them all together, they DOUBLE the size of the addon in question.

And you know that the bigger your addons folder is, the more Gmod laggs and the longer it has to load.

So, if you do an Export on SVN'd folders, SVN will copy that folder for you and clean it of the invisible folders, thus making your Gmod non-slowed down

Here is where i got that: http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=13583073

 

BTW: Look for your self there is a invisible folder in every folder.

Good job, you are clearly the smart one here.

So you will actually move all of your addons in/out of you addons folder in garrysmod almost daily and manually update all of your addons just so your Garry's Mod can still go into a server and still load it slowly because of the amount of addons the server has?
