Thrive

This is the code repository for Thrive. For more information, visit http://www.revolutionarygames.com.

Getting Involved

Depending on what you want to contribute, you need to take different steps to get your development environment set up.

Script Authors

If you only want to modify the Lua scripts, you can just download a precompiled package from our build server at ftp://nimbal.net/jenkins. After unpacking, you will find the scripts in the aptly named scripts subdirectory.

Be sure to have a look at the styleguide, both for guidelines on code formatting and git usage.

C++ Programmers

To compile Thrive yourself, you will not only need to clone this git repository, but also the Subversion asset repository, username and password both "anonymous". The best place to put the assets is in your code repository's assets subdirectory. If, for whatever reason, you want to check it out to another place, you will have to modify the ASSET_DIRECTORY variable in the CMake setup. Offloading art assets into Subversion was necessary due to size constraints for GitHub repositories.

Windows developers should follow the procedure outlined in the mingw setup guide.

For the time being, Linux developers will have to manually set up their build environment. The dependencies at the time of this writing are

• gcc 4.7 or newer
• boost 1.52
• Ogre 1.8
• Bullet 2.81
• OpenAL Soft 1.15.1

Be sure to have a look at the styleguide, both for guidelines on code formatting and git usage.

Modellers and Sound Engineers

To work on the art assets, you can download a precompiled package from our build server at ftp://nimbal.net/jenkins. After unpacking, create a subdirectory testing and place your assets in there. If they are used anywhere in the game, they will be picked up by Thrive.

More detailed instructions for contributing art assets will follow soon.
