🆕 First-Time Setup Guide

Complete step-by-step instructions for getting started with BoraBora

Important: The repo is organised into two folders. You only need to checkout the one relevant to your role — you do not need the whole repo.

Choose Your Role

🗺️

Terrain Editors & Modders

You work on the map itself

Editing terrain, placing objects, working on mods, or QGIS. If you open TerrainBuilder or touch any source files, this is your checkout.

                  📋 Checkout URL - Click to Copy
                
svn://maplabs.loginto.me/BoraBora/sourceClick to Copy

📦

Mod Packers & Server Admins

You pack PBOs and deploy

You pack PBOs using Addon Builder and deploy them to the server. You don't edit raw source files — you take what terrain editors produce and make it playable.

                  📋 Checkout URL - Click to Copy
                
svn://maplabs.loginto.me/BoraBora/deployClick to Copy

🗺️ Terrain Editors & Modders — Fresh Checkout

Follow these steps to get the source folder on your machine.

Download & Install TortoiseSVN

If you don't have TortoiseSVN installed yet, download it from the official website:

Download TortoiseSVN

Choose the correct version for your system (32-bit or 64-bit). Install and restart your computer if prompted.

Right-Click → SVN Checkout

Right-click on an empty area of your desktop (or any folder where you want the project to live) and choose "SVN Checkout..."

Enter the URL

In the "URL of repository" field, paste:

svn://maplabs.loginto.me/BoraBora/source

Set the Checkout Folder

In the "Checkout directory" field, set where you want the files on your PC. Example:

P:\BoraBora\source

You can choose any folder you like — just make note of where it is.

Click OK

TortoiseSVN will download all the source files. This may take a few minutes depending on your connection.

When it finishes you will see: Checkout Finished!

📅 Day-to-Day Use

Once checked out, your normal workflow is:

Before starting work
Right-click your checkout folder → SVN Update to get the latest files

After making changes
Right-click → SVN Commit to save your work to the server

If something breaks
Right-click → TortoiseSVN → Revert to undo your local changes

🔧 Troubleshooting

❌ Can't connect to server

Check you are on the right network. The SVN server is only accessible internally. If you're remote, you may need VPN access.

🗂️ Wrong files / old structure

Delete your old checkout folder and do a fresh checkout from the new URL above (/source or /deploy).

⚠️ SVN Update fails with conflicts

Right-click → TortoiseSVN → Resolve Conflicts, or ask the team lead for help.

❓ Not sure which URL to use

If you open TerrainBuilder = source
If you run Addon Builder = deploy

Questions? Ask the team lead in #mapping-chat

Clear roles, smooth workflow, and productive collaboration. This structure keeps the team small (3-6 members), focused, and conflict-free.

Scripting/Mod Integration: Implement scripts, triggers, gameplay mechanics
QA/Playtesting: Test map areas, report bugs and improvements

🔄 Workflow Pipeline (5 Steps)

Planning - Define map area, key points, milestones
Task Assignment - Break work into small tasks with deadlines (tracked on Kanboard)
Asset Creation - Create and submit assets following style guide and naming conventions
Review & Approval - 2IC reviews weekly, only approved assets merge to main map
Testing - Regular playtests, feedback entered into task board

📋 Team Rules & Guidelines

Core Team: 3-6 active members maximum (quality over quantity)
Follow Standards: Asset naming conventions and style guides must be followed
No Duplication: Check with 2IC before creating new assets to avoid duplicate work
Weekly Stand-Up: 5-10 minutes to review progress and blockers
