Hello!

Now that MaxGUI has been significantly enhanced, I would like to give BlitzMax/MaxGUI a try again.

Thus, I installed subversion, built all the modules - but where have the axe.mod modules gone? What is the recommended way to add them to the SVN-based BlitzMax installation?

Thanks in advance for any help!

If your just after the new MaxGUI mod, it's been incorporated within the new MaxGUI folder on SVN.

Have a look at...

http://blitzbasic.com:81/svn/blitzmax/README/ (the forum refuses to turn that URL into a link) and this for info about checking out the dev version of BMax and MaxGUI, and this for information about the new MaxGUI module itself.

If you're after the other stuff that was in axe.mod then I haven't got a clue how you'd get that now. :o/

Hello Ian,

thanks for your immediate response - unfortunately, I am after the other stuff...

I hope "install an older version and use syncmods" isn't the only answer.

I think skid was intending to move the other stuff to Google Code, but for now, I think Otus may be right...

I haven't actually tried this, so use at your own risk (make a backup of your blitzmax folder(s) just in case) but... there is a text file /cfg/modservers.cfg which points to the latest syncmods folder.

Change the contents of that modservers.cfg file to say this instead:
http://blitzbasic.com/modserver126/

and try the following from the command line from inside your /blitzmax/bin folder:

syncmods -u username -p password axe

That ought to make it see the axe modules and download them... Remember to change modservers.cfg back to the correct 128 modeserver afterwards.

As a note, I did that when asking the same question, and managed to hose my install of BlitzMax. YMMV.
