Also create a backup for <br />it and a directory for executables.<br /><br />Example:<br /><blockquote><code><nowiki>></nowiki>md \\games\\ice\\system<br /><nowiki>></nowiki>md \\games\\ice\\system\\old<br /><nowiki>></nowiki>md \\games\\ice\\tools</code></blockquote>\n# Make sure that all \"where\" files are written in terms of s: <br />instead of \\games\\sci\\system. Everyone's autoexec.bat file <br />should contain the line \"set sinclude=s:\"<br /> \n# To save a version of tools such as the compilers and <br />interpreter, just copy them to your project's tool directory.<br /> \n# To give your project's tools precedence over the main version, <br />type in a line like the following one, which should be <br />appended to all project members' autoexec.bat files:<br /><br /><code>pushpath g:\\games\\ice\\tools</code><br /> \n# To freeze a version of the system for your project, type in a <br />line like the following one:<br /><br /><code>pushsys \\games\\sci\\system \\games\\ice\\system \\games\\ice\\system\\old</code><br /><br />This action might require the game to be rebuilt.<br /><br />Everyone working on the project should have s: mapped to the <br />project's system directory. This can be done by editing the <br />user login file using SYSCON on the net, or by appending to <br />autoexec.bat a line like the following one:<br /><br />map s:=g:\\games\\ice\\system<br /> \n# If the above step is determined to be premature, it can be <br />undone by typing a line like the following one:<br /><br /><code>savesys \\games\\ice\\system\\old \\games\\ice\\system</code><br /><br />This action might require the game to be rebuilt.<br /> \n# Software updates should be performed and tested by the project <br />coordinator at times that will not hurt the team's <br />productivity, with enough time to rebuild, test and even revert <br />and rebuild again if needed.\n\n<blockquote>\nWhile the SCI development team will carefully test all system <br />changes to avoid introducing problems, its very flexibility makes <br />it impossible to test all cases. It will be the responsibility of <br />each project's coordinator to follow the above (or equivalent) <br />procedures.\n\nI have provided the push*.bat and save*.bat files mentioned <br />above to facilitate this task; they are available in <br />x:\\public\\tools. We strongly recommend that all projects update <br />to the current system version as quickly as possible, since the <br />purpose of system changes is to correct bugs and provide <br />significant enhancements.\n</blockquote>\n</blockquote>\n\n[[Category:SCI Documentation]]\n[[Category:Scripting]]"
