Hello,

 

I've seen a lot of open source mods that use GitHub for their source, are there any tutorials on how to do this, I'd like to make my mod Open Source. Thanks.

Google it.  Github help page.

I agree that there should be a 'help' thing for forge modders, the github help page is not helpful at all. I want to do my mod on github too, but there is just no way I can get it working, and yes, I tied. I tried a lot.

There is no documentation at all for this and I would love to share what I learned when I tried this, but this is what I found out....

Alright. This is a software GitHub recently developed. It makes Githubbing so much easier with GUI and all the good stuff. http://windows.github.com/ I hope this helps.

I used that, I found the GUI irritating.... Looks too much like windows 8 

(But still easier then learning Git commendline...)

Thanks, going to try this right now, see how it works out!.

I use that software and I don't even need to know any command lines. All you have to learn is the concept of Github's pushing and pulling and that's all.

The github help documentation is quite extensive.  Who is the idiot that said that there was no documentation?

Me 

The problem is that there is no documentation (that I know of) for a scenario like this. If I figure it out, I'm making a Wiki article.

What's the scenario?

With a scenario like this I mean a Forge mod.

The repo on github can't include MC or Forge code and should to sync up with Eclipse.

There is an Eclipse plugin that can interact with Git, but I haven't got that working.

A 2th option would be manually coping files from your Eclipse to GitHub and vice versa.

 

Then you got the source code covered. (And I assume you can link GitHub and Jenkins to make an automated build platform?)

Um, no.

I do everything manually.

LOL

That works too...

I just made a Powershell script that makes a zip for the build and throws that in my Google Drive and stuff like that, I could modify it to copy the source files to GitHub...

If you do, can you share it with me? I do it manually too.

Recompile, the run "getchangedsrc.bat" and that will create a folder in MCP called modsrc containing all files for your mod.

o_o Are you serious? THAT'S what that .bat file does?

 

...

 

Well, I feel quote stupid now. But why do I have to recompile? And does using said .bat file give me the .java files, or the recompiled .class files?

Just make a .bat with these commands:

 

runtime\bin\python\python_mcp runtime\recompile.py %*

runtime\bin\python\python_mcp runtime\getchangedsrc.py %*

runtime\bin\python\python_mcp runtime\reobfuscate.py %*

 

This will recompile, get the changed .java files (modsrc/) and the changed .class files (reobf/)

Just make a .bat with these commands:

 

runtime\bin\python\python_mcp runtime\recompile.py %*

runtime\bin\python\python_mcp runtime\getchangedsrc.py %*

runtime\bin\python\python_mcp runtime\reobfuscate.py %*

thanks! I'm no batch expert, so is there a way to also move/copy it to a folder?

Yes, with Move and Copy

I use that site if I don't know a command. It has a manual for CMD, Powershell, Linux Bach, ....

Okay, but I still can't figure it out . Also I have another problem, since minecraft 1.3.2, the getchangedsrc.bat doesn't output all my files, any idea why?

I thinks that's because it doesn't understand the common folder thing yet. I'm currently working on someones jenkins, when I'm don't (and it works) I'll post the file here.

Thanks man!!

Are you almost done? I really want that code

There is a tutorial on the wiki, I made it. You can easily use the part about GitHub, but the jenkins part is more like a guideline. Find it here

Thanks!

 

The code in your tutorial is Shellscript right? And when i execute it, it does nothing it disappears within a second. The Folder 'builds' is created though.
