I assumed so.  And the charge-up sound can be removed by setting the appropriate entry in sounds.tbl to Empty.  The problem is, the HUD displays "subspace drive activated", which is out of place if your fighter doesn't have a drive.  And even if there's no activation sound, there's still that pause before the fighter exits.

Is it possible to measure the distance from a fighterbay?  I realize that you can set waypoints in FRED, but that doesn't work if the carrier is moving.

I meant by no charge-up as no wait time, and no sound.

[Goober5000]

I know.  You can set Alpha 1 to have no warp-out effect in FRED, you can remove the warp-out sound in sounds.tbl, but you can't remove the warp-out wait time except with an end-mission sexp.

Added the is-tagged fix.

Where can we download it?

[EdrickV]

The fix would be in the CVS source code. If you want to use it, you'll need to wait for a release or compile it yourself. And the latter requires MSVC++ 6.0.

[Goober5000]

How can I download all the newest files in one chunk?  It appears that the only thing I can do with the CVS is download each file individually.

[EdrickV]

If you mean download all the files in one zip file kinda thing, it doesn't work that way. But if you follow the instructions on the warpcore site it should download all the files one by one.

[Goober5000]

Arg - there's like 50 separate files in the fs2 project!  It'll take ages!

[EdrickV]

50? There are 647 .cpp and .h files in the original release. But most of the files are small and, being text files, you should get really high transfer rates. Downloading them shouldn't take too long. (Maybe about 20 minutes on 56k, I think.)

[Goober5000]

Yikes - I didn't look in all the folders.

I'm at college, so I have a T3 - transfer rate is not a problem.  But I don't want to click on the file, right-click on Download, and click Save 647 times!  I want some way of either downloading all the files at once or automating the download, and I don't see a way to do that.

EDIT: Okay, the site really needs better directions.  It looks like you can download the CVS.zip file from the main page, then run the program it contains which will batch download for you.  But that isn't at all clear from the main page.

EDIT2: It DOESN'T WORK.  See my next post.

I was trying to get somebody to compile it for me, because I don't have anythign to compile it with, but I guess I'll just wait for the next release, which measn FREDing for the TVWP will be postponed until then.

[Goober5000]

I could compile it, but I can't download the stupid thing.  I was able to figure out that I could download in bulk with CVS, but now the stupid program says it can't find the directory :mad: :mad: :mad:

C:\temp>cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/home/fs2source/cvsroot login
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/home/fs2source/cvsroot
CVS password:
CVS.EXE [login aborted]: could not find out home directory

[Solatar]

That stinks. Maybe I can try to download it, then put it all in a .zip.

[DTP]

-crap sleepy me, wrong button

[Inquisitor]

Follow the instructions in the CVS thread to "checkout" a copy.

Use anonymous as the username/password.

I am gonna get a "weekly tarball" or something for people to grab so they can compile. Only so much time in the day

[Goober5000]

Thanks Inquisitor.  That was the most number of hoops I've ever had to jump through for a program.

Why doesn't the command-line CVS work?

"weekly tarball" - that sounds funny

The Cygwin one works fine. *shrug*

[Inquisitor]

Last I checked, command line CVS DOES work

[Goober5000]

Eh, for me it kept on saying "could not find out home directory".  The command-line program I used was downloaded from the zip file at http://fs2source.warpcore.org.  Is it a buggy version that was never updated?
