[edit] Getting the Source

The best way to get the source code is with subversion. If for some reason, you can't install a subversion client on your computer, the next best thing is to download the latest nightly source zip file

[edit] Compiling the Source

• Getting Freebasic
• Compiling in Windows
• Compiling in Linux

[edit] Submitting Improvements

If you fix bugs, or make improvements, you can submit your fixes to be incorporated into the official version. If you downloaded the source code using subversion, it is easy to make a patch containing your changes. To create a patch, type the command:

 svn diff > patch_file_name.txt

If you have been making changes to many different files, but only want your changes to one specific file to be included in the patch, you can specify the filename:

 svn diff game.bas > patch_file_name.txt

Then log in to bugzilla at http://HamsterRepublic.com/bugzilla/ and create a new bug that describes what your patch does, and attach the patch file to the bug.

[edit] Distributing your own version

• GPL compliance
• guidelines for forking
• maintaining compatibility

[edit] RPG File Format Internals

The file format that OHRRPGCE games are stored in is a complicated and messy format. Read more about it here.
