Steam Dev branch & SVN build

Post by Sandern » Sat Nov 15, 2024 12:03 pm

There are two ways to access our developers build, either by opting in on the Steam "dev" beta or by downloading the SVN build.

You can view the latest changes by visiting our SVN log

Steam Dev
The Steam "dev" branch can be selected in the beta tab of the game properties. This beta branch is directly build from our SVN build daily (if there are changes) and as such might have incomplete things. If you just want to the test latest changes, this is the easiest way to go.




SVN build
The SVN build runs next to the Steam build and requires an SVN client to be installed.

To checkout and run the most recent build follow these steps:
  1. Download TortoiseSVN: http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html
  2. Install it
  3. Create a new folder called lambdawarsdev in <path to steam>\steamapps\Common\Lambda Wars, right click it and press SVN Checkout...
  4. URL: https://lambdawars.com/lambdawars/trunk
    Checkout directory: <path to steam>\steamapps\Common\Lambda Wars\lambdawarsdev
  5. Press ok
  6. Right click the folder again and press SVN Update
  7. In Steam, use the option "Games -> Add a Non Steam Game to Library"
  8. Navigate to "<path to steam>\steamapps\Common\Lambda Wars" and select lambdawars.exe
  9. Assign a good name (e.g. "Lambda Wars Dev SVN")
  10. Open properties dialog of the just added entry and update Target to: "<path to steam>\SteamApps\common\Lambda Wars\lambdawars.exe" -game lambdawarsdev -override_vpk"
