Version Control

[Calneon]

I want to get into Source modding, and saw this article on the Valve community site:

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Using_Source_Control_with_the_Source_SDK

I got lost about half way though and got an error I couldn't fix. Plus I don't really have a clue what I'm actually doing. Is there an easier program to use and can somebody explain how to use it really simply . Thanks.

Here you go mate, little steps http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/My_First_Mod



Made me smile, been there so many times

Thanks, but I've done that tutorial and the logical entity one. I'm asking purely about how Valve say that having source control is a must.

From what I read of the link you supplied OP it says you may get errors in the code when setting up, so you could well have been going the right way about it. What errors are you getting?

I did get the one they say you could get, but I couldn't fix it. I'm pretty sure I had the paths the same as what they had.

Tip: The confusing error "No target file(s) in both client and branch view" means that one or both paths in the View are pointing to the wrong location. Don't forget to include any subfolders you made.

I think I'll leave it for now. Seems like too much effort for just learning it .
