ZPS Developers : versioning tool ?

[Muska]

Hello,

This morning i was wondering about versioning for a SDK project.

Which tool are you, zps developers, using ? SVN, GIT ?

And more precisely, which folders need to be controled by this versioning tool ?
I guess the whole source code folder (created by source SDK) need to be controled, as much as the subfolder created in the "C:/.../Steam/SteamApps/MyMod/" . (as a consequence there are 2 distincts folder for one single project, so are 2 repository needed ?).

Sorry if my question is tactless, I and a friend of mine are working on a SDK project, and since we are two working on this, we need a versioning tool in order to work correctly.

Thanks,

Muska

We use SVN.
Games outside steamworks does not get a SteamApps subfolder for it, instead you're forced to create one inside SteamApps\sourcemods, then you can name it as anything you want, as long as it isn't taken by other mods and both server and client have the same name for that folder. It's also how you call srcds and hl2 with -game.

Desura gives mods a good interface and makes it easier to install and update at sourcemods for common users.

Just to be sure, even if i think it is the case, is your source code folder in "SteamApps/sourcemods/modName" ? So the whole "modName" directory would be controled by SVN ?

Anyway thanks for your answer, this was helpful.

No, there's only the files needed to run the game. Otherwise you may risk releasing important files without noticing it.
You can still make it controlled by SVN in order to keep everyone updated on the active build.

As Sammy said we use SVN and run the code and dev build as two separate projects. We have our dev build in sourcemods for convenience. We store source files on a number of external and internal drives.
