I built the game, now for my stupid questions thread

[jeffnz]

So I built the game on an old laptop and I realise I desperately need an upgrade lol

Now as for the gameplay, it seems I can build resource structures but not really anything else?

update: oops I think you upgrade through the ages with the civic centre ... delete this thread maybe.

Question: Did you notice that the men can build Military buildings as well as economic? Welcome to 0 A.D.

I'll probably build again on my Windows 10 desktop. What are some cool tricks for SVN? New Zealand has slow broadband when downloading from international servers, so how can I download the latest source, but avoid downloading the binaries again? I want to know if I can safely exclude some directories, and only update the code - is it possible? If someone updates the binaries and I'm only updating the source, that might cause trouble right? The game might reference something that I don't have.

I checked out the new source last week, but I don't think I'm tracking changes because I thought that was only for folks who're contributing code. I get the impression that I am supposed to track changes, that way I don't download each file again ... only the updated things. I think I'll have to start over since I didn't track changes.

@jeffnz: SVN takes care of only updating changes. It doesn't matter how long it was since you last checked out

You can "SVN ignore" the binaries. That way they won't get updated when you update 0 A.D.. You will need to recompile when something in the C++ part changed.

Otherwise there should be no problems.
