An issue has been identified using the SVN repository.
Let me explain.
Do NOT checkout the svn directly to your innerspace folder. An issue has been identified that is causing directories to be read-only and svn is persistently setting them to read-only after you change them.
If you are not a script author, this is the procedure you should use:
1. Create a folder c:\isxscripts\
2. Right click on that folder choose TortoiseSVN -> Export.
3. Select the URL of Repository http://www.isxgames.com/isxScripts/EverQuest2 (LavishScript).
4. After the export is complete, copy the files to your innerspace folder.
ATTENTION:
Note I said EXPORT the svn to that folder DO NOT CHECKOUT! Only script contributors need to check out the folder, and I'll assume they know how to work with SVN.
This is what you should do to work with the repository. If you've previously checked out the repository to your scripts directory, or have copied from a check out rather than an export, I recommend you delete your scripts dir and recreate and follow this procedure.
For Script Writers:
You can check out the scripts to C:\ISXSCRIPTS\ and work on them from there. However to test and run things, your need to right click drag files or folders from this tree to the innerspace tree and chose the SVN EXPORT to here context menu.
This way it will just export the version of the file, it won't also copy over all the SVN meta data and other settings.
Additional Information:
The problem we're experiencing is IS is unable to write new files to the checked out tree, or copies of the checked out tree. I believe this worked ok in earlier versions of Tortoise, but the newer version is causing issue (I've not put my finger on exactly whats causing it, but can confirm this is causing issues for many people).
If you follow the above procedures, I believe you'll have less confusing problems running the scripts.
Good Luck,
Pygar
