Yeah, you should be able to just checkout the mod from SVN straight to a USB drive. SVN doesn't mind if you move its checked-out folders around all over the place.

 

It'd probably be better for the USB drive if you downloaded the mod to HDD first and then copied it over, but that's your call... and if you're worried about leaks it's maybe not such a good idea...

I'm not particularly concerned about leaks, though I am concerned that others may be concerned, so please voice your opinion on this. However, i'm mostly concerned about the size of the download. I remember reading in Komg's tutorial that it is 1.7gb. Is it possible to download in chunk?

You *could* check out the folders one by one, but I'd not recommend that. The best thing is to start the download and cancel it when it's necessary. You can always resume the download later by choosing "SVN Update".

Actually you don't need an SVN client if you just want to download the latest version, you can use My Network Places to map a network drive directly. You just use the "Add a new network place" wizard and enter the HTTPS address for the mod.

... That's clever. I didn't even know Windows could do that. (Map HTTP URLs as drives.)

 

It's probably less dodgy to just use a proper SVN client though, Windows being Windows.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
