Hi to everyone
I made a little Makefile that will download the newest content from the svn-server and update the game-files. In the moment it works for Ubuntu although it may work for every Unix version if OpenArena is installed in /usr/share/games/openarena/ or if you specify the directory where the pk3 files are installed on your system.
To use:
if you haven't downloaded the svn source:
0. Download the svn source - for howto:
http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=500.0
if you already have done it:
1. Put the Makefile into the directory where you downloaded the svn source
2. if you dont't use ubuntu(7.06): look where your pk3 files are and change the line
PAK_FOLDER = "/usr/share/games/openarena/baseoa/"
if the pk3 files are not installed inside the folder "/usr/share/games/openarena/baseoa/".
For example if you use OS X and installed OpenArena inside the "Applications" folder in a folder called "Open Arena" and your pk3 files are in baseoa in this folder then change it to
PAK_FOLDER = "/Applications/Open Arena/baseoa"
3. open a terminal and go to the directory where you downloaded the svn source
then type or insert following line into the terminal
make clean all; sudo make install
Now the only thing you have to to do get the new version and install it is point 3.
I hope this helps someone.
USE AT YOU OWN RISK. I DIDN'T WRITE THIS MAKEFILE TO LET YOUR COMPUTER GO UP IN FLAMES IF YOU USE IT, ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT JUST DO THAT.
P.S Please excuse my bad English. You may have already guessed it: I'm not a native speaker
