[Exult-general] Re: New version of SI Fixes

[Jeff F. <je...@mo...>]

Welcome to the group!  You're the first new member in quite a while.  
Now you'll have to apply your own patches:-)
I can think of just a few things to suggest:

1.  Since you're on Windows, you might have to be careful about not 
checking things in with Windows-style line endings (CR-LF instead of 
just LF), which might cause CVS to start showing huge diffs where there 
weren't real changes.  You might ask Ryan (aka 'colourles') about this, 
as he also works on Windows.

2.  If you're not sure about a change you want to make, you can ask on 
our mailing list (exult-general).  You'll need to join in order to post.

3.  We want to avoid distributing any copyrighted material, like shapes 
from U7.  So, for example, if you add new items to 'shapes.vga', we 
wouldn't want the updated version, but one that just had your shapes.  
Exult is capable of merging the two.

Otherwise, have fun.  Since Exult is fairly mature, we haven't been as 
active lately, so it's nice to have someone new.  I'm especially happy 
to see all this new Usecode.
