TortoiseHG

[LyrickCZE]

Dear devs,

few weeks ago I've discovered this wonderful project, personally calling it "best open source game ever".

I like toying with open source thingies, playing with C++ and making silly things, but I'm still just a newbie in this area, so I'm sorry for "another most likely stupid question #7639389638201". And also for my English skills, I come from Czech Republic.

Ok, now to my problem. In the "Obtaining The Source Code" part I see:

"...we also provide a git and Mercurial (hg) repository of the svn repository. These can be found at respectively:

http://git.openttd.org (http://vcs.openttd.org/git/ for online browsing)
http://hg.openttd.org (http://vcs.openttd.org/hg/ for online browsing)"

Seeing the HG repository part I've created my "OpenTTD Source" folder, r.clicked it and choosen TortoiseHG - Clone, because TortoiseHG is already installed on my system, as I was compiling The *censored*'s game server last month.

So I wrote "http://hg.openttd.org" into the "Source" line, clicked Clone, and almost went to cook myself dinner with the hope that when I'm back, source will be downloaded and ready to get compiled.

Unfortunetly, this popped on me almost immediately in the TortoiseHG:

"(falling back to static-http)
'http://hg.openttd.org' does not appear to be an hg repository

[command interrupted]"

Now Im wondering if this TortoiseHG is different "thing" than Mercurial(hg) repository, because I always though ToirtoiseHG is just a GUI for hg.

Any ideas what may be wrong here? Do I really need to dowload TortoiseSVN instead?

Oh and btw, Im still using WinXP Pro 32bit SP3.

Thank you for your help.

http://hg.openttd.org/openttd/trunk.hg is the full path for the trunk repository which you want to clone

[LyrickCZE]

Thank you!
It is downloading now, so finally off to my dinner ;)

This incorrect HG repository path is at the "http://www.openttd.org/en/development", in case this reads someone who can (and want) to edit it.

The texts are correct in the sense which will become clear to you, if you look at http://hg.openttd.org/

[LyrickCZE]

Ah.... it really makes sense now... *shy*

How does "(http://vcs.openttd.org/hg/ for online browsing)" fit into that?

[planetmaker]

It probably tells you that those two URLs map to the same page. And now?

I use http://hg.openttd.org for online browsing anyway...
