Is there a way I can play with the most recent
additions/fixes without waiting for the next release?
There is, and it's called SVN. SVN or Subversion is a
software that provides an online repository for data
which can be connected to a folder in one's Explorer.
From then on, I can commit recent changes to this
repository and you can update your version of it (you
can't commit without password, though ).
The DoC repository is available HERE. The easiest way
to access it under Windows is to download and install
Tortoise SVN. After that, you can right-click on your
Beyond the Sword\Mods\ folder and the new option
"SVN Checkout" will appear. This will open a prompt
where you enter DoC's SVN URL ("https://
subversion.assembla.com/svn/Dawn_of_Civilization/").
This will create a new folder "Dawn_of_Civilization" in
your Mods folder. You will have to rename it to "RFC
Dawn of Civilization" for the modmod to work.
Afterwards, you only have to right-click on that folder
and select "SVN Update" to get my most recent
updates.
