The file has plenty other changes as well, so rather not. I removed golem hearts for example from a trader, and made plywood reactions need 3 times less glue, and other things.
That's cool. It's easier and faster for me to take a
whole file, and tell my tools 'just this change please', than it is for me to take a single change (which isn't in patch format) and try to figure out where it applies in the file. (For those reading along, 'git add -p' is da shiz!)
At some point I will learn github, but for now its only 1 mod update, followed by 1 month of modding on separate files (warlocks), and soon after I will be travelling for 3-4 months again. After this I will start with git. Wouldnt make sense to learn it for 1 update.
We have a deal then! May I propose an intern solution that might work for us both?
Dropbox lets you automatically sync files and folders between devices and to the cloud. It effectively means you have automatic, continuous backups for whatever you're working on, and there's no effort required to use it; it just synchronises existing directories on your machine. It's amazing. It also makes collaboration easy, because you can essentially have many people sharing the one directory. It takes about five minutes to set up.
If you do your DF development in dropbox, and share that folder with me, then it means I can easily track your files. Updating things like the coin mint is a breeze, because I'll already have the changes. That will save a *lot* of going back and forth, because I'll already have your files in the form that works best with my tools. Plus if I need to get files to you, it's easy. Heck; I could even have a bot that automatically regenerates the output of lint-raws.pl in your directory automatically, because I can trigger actions off Dropbox file changes.
I won't change any of your files unless you specifically ask, and I won't move anything over to SWP unless you say they're ready. But it means I'll get all the change control goodness that I need for my high-level Changeomancy spells, we both get a much smoother workflow, and you have automatic backups and revisioning of all your work.
If you ever want me to update your files with the current changes from Studded With Patches, I can do that too, and with a lot less effort than our present back-and-forth.
Sound like a plan?
