WIP new guide to downloading source code from Github
Dev with code knowledge, 10/10 me.
 
This page contains the information and steps needed to download the latest version of the code, compile it and host your own server.
 
http://baystation12.net/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_TortoiseGit
 
== Licensing ==
 
The TG Station 13 source code is open. The license allows you to do most things, but if you're really interested in more, see below.
 
'''NOTE!''' The actual license is located on our [http://code.google.com/p/tgstation13/ code page]. (Is there a licence on GitHub?
 
The license that we use allows you:
 
*to '''Share''' — to copy, distribute and transmit the work
*to '''Remix''' — to adapt the work
*to '''make commercial use''' of the work
 
Under the following conditions:
 
*'''Attribution''' —  You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).
*'''Share Alike''' — If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one.
 
== Downloading ==
 
We use GitHub to host our project.
 
Follow the steps below to install Tortoise SVN
 
* Go to [https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station]
* Download the source code as a ZIP file, it is about 32MB
* Do other stuff (windows github program or whatever)
 
== Updating to the latest revision ==
 
Can this be done with github? Or do you just need to download all the files again?
 
== "I did not change anything, but the code does not work anymore!" ==
 
This is likely due to corrupted files.
To fix this, you need to:
 
*Delete tgstation13.dme
*Update
*Clean-Compile
 
== Hosting a server ==
 
To get a simple server running first
* Download the source code as explained above
* Open tgstation13.dme in dream maker (double click it)
* Once it opens select Build > Compile
* Wait until it compiles. Once it does a new file "tgstation13.dmb" will be created in the same folder where "tgstation13.dme" is. The dmb file has an orange icon. Compile time usually takes between 1 and 10 minutes, depending on your computer. Dream maker will show as 'not responding' during this time, but it is compiling.
* Open dream daemon (Win7: start menu > all programs > BYOND > Dream Daemon; Win8: start > type Dream Daemon > Dream Daemon)
* Select the "..." in the lower right corner and select the file "tgstation13.dmb".
* Click the "GO" button and wait until it changes to a red "stop" button. Starting the server usually takes between 1 and 5 minutes. It is fully started once you can normally interact with Dream Daemon and a byond://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx link is present at the bottom.
* Click the yellow button (former "...") to auto-join
* Left click the link (byond://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx) to copy it to clipboard
* Paste the link (ctrl+v) to your friends so they can join.
 
== Making your server visible on byond.com ==
 
You '''DO NOT NEED''' to pay for membership to make your server visible on byond.com!
