I came over this thread a few days ago, and it's great to see a community patch for Civ5.
However, here's a few notes and questions:
- Why was v2 released before v1?
- Where is the changelog?
- Is this patch developed in an open manner, with a public repository? Where can we look at the individual commits?
- Is the "community patch" a collaborative process (in the code sense, not talking about suggestion here)? If yes, how do we participate in the process? (GitHub?)
- Where is the changelog (again)?
- The install process is somewhat cumbersome. A single, unifying patch would be easier to install (include the v51VMC code in the patch)
Thanks! To be clear, the v1 posted above is not the final 'v1' - it is simply the latest effort we have completed.
Answers:
- It wasn't - it was simply for testing purposes (I'm using multiple versions on my end to test changes). The latest early version is now called v1.
- The changelog is just above - look up about four posts. Once v1 is completed, I'll have an official changelog.
- Yes; v1 will be hosted once it is complete. I want to get the core changes completed first before I host it.
- Ahem.
- This is up to Whoward's discretion. Since the foundation - the Combined DLL - is his creation (with code from others, such as myself, included in it), I will defer to him regarding how he wants to handle 3rd-party distribution of his core work. Eventually we will separate them out; for now, during pre-v1 testing, the current method will suffice.
