[F.A.Q] How much hard drive is needed to download terraGIT?

[legoboyvdlp]

Help! I cloned hundreds of megabytes, and there is no scenery!

It is very simple. There is one repository per 10x10 tile. Each repository has two branches -- master (empty), Terrain, and Objects. Master is the default branch.

Therefore, you need to do this from the TerraGit home directory in your console:

Code: Select all

cd Terrain
cd *tile you cloned*
git checkout Terrain

cd ../../Objects/*tile you cloned*
git checkout Objects

If you want to develop, simply do this code inside the relevant tile directory:
Developing in /Objects/

Code: Select all

git checkout Objects
git pull
git checkout -b *newbranchname*

Developing in /Terrain/

Code: Select all

git checkout Terrain
git pull
git checkout -b *newbranchname*

Mmm this is a good note lego, but I think the repo terraGIT is set in a way such as initializing and updating a module (tile 10x10) installs the correct branch in the respective directory.

As in

Code: Select all

install/tile w070n10


does this

Code: Select all

git submodule update */w070n10 --init


Which effectively places Terrain and Objects properly in your root (terraGIT)

Off course if you clone, instead of initing you are setting yourself to only get the master either on Terrain or Objects, which as you correctly pointed out, it will come as empty.

D'ye think? It didn't when I tested.

[IAHM-COL]

I know the instructions had workd with many others. (with instal scripts). (not just think)

But on the other hand, maybe is something with your git software. Maybe outdated, or something.

Cool think is you have enough experience dealing with repos at this point to know where to look for.

BTW, daweed, I am hoping you let me know where is the updated apt.dat of Lyon.

Easy, there is none .... fact is i never update the apt.dat

=> using only BTG file (created by a FG user on French Forum)

=> using stg file for terminal and other building to place them on the layout.

All other data are in the original APT.DAT (from TS i mean)

[IAHM-COL]

No worries. I understand -- terraGIT hosting as HTTP shall require bandwith and capacity. I have to study this a bit more.

We will then take you on the wiki offer.

OK. Thanks
The apt.dat exists, since there is no way to make the BTG for the airport without making the apt.dat (the dat is the source file needed to create such binary).
Therefore...

May you send a PM to the "user on French Forum" requesting him to allow us to have the apt.dat? (we intend push it to the gateway upstream, if he wants to know) and reconstruct the scenery. Alternatively, we wonder if he would push himself to the gateway.
If he closes the source, then the btg can't be released as GPL and we would probably need to build the dat again. The long road...

[SHM]

There is a layout of LFLL done by d-laser on the gateway.

[IAHM-COL]

Thanks
I can built with that one.
I wonder if this is as accurate as the one Daweed is currently using ?

--or even it could be the same

[daweed]

New btg have been made to provide

TW A8, A9, B8, B9 and S6
SPEED Exit V4, V6 et V8

i ll ask on FR Forum for the apt.dat, but as i said, the needed part seems to have been extract from the apt.dat coming from FG / TerraSync
