It is absolutely great to have so many people involved in modding these days!
So to ensure it remains fun and to prevent this from becoming (too) potentially confusing,
@Aconcagua and @Captain Murphy have been helping me to set up a Version Control System.
Where is it?
Right here: piratesahoy / new-horizons · GitLab
I have just uploaded all Build 14 Beta 4.1 WIP: 28 July 2016 files there to be publicly available.
Who is it for?
For everyone who wants to do modding, such as @Levis, @Grey Roger, @Jack Rackham and @Tingyun
What is it for?
With a system like this, it becomes much easier to work together and also to roll back changes if necessary.
The idea is that everyone submits their changes to same "semi-public code base".
This means it should be much easier to remain up-to-date while developing, especially when multiple people edit the same files.
More Information and Useful Programs:
Git - Downloading Package
Download – TortoiseGit – Windows Shell Interface to Git
This is of course quite new for everyone, so it would take some getting used to for sure.
I do have high hopes it'll be a great help to us though!
As it is, for now I am quite a novice on this myself. It is similar to a system I use at work, but not at all the same.
So we can all learn together as we go along.
Anyway, I hope you guys can see the potential in this and are game to join in!
