GRFPack Dev Guide
From #openttdcoop wiki
Updating existing NewGRF
- be sure, if its really a update (md5sum)
- commit to SVN with a proper message
- Update GRF Table (Trunk)
- edit title with revision number
- check link, if its still direct to the current revision (grfcrawler isn't always right, TT-Forums should work if no official link available, links mostly change after update there...)
- if there is a readme available, a link from column Details would be nice (link to www.openttdcoop.org/newgrfs/...)
- after update, the credits might also change...
- write the svn revision to status
Adding new GRF
- create a directory in the category, it belongs to. Also possible it needs an other location, because of a special dependency. Then you create a folder "a" or something like that for it, or you move it to top (1_others) or to bottom (9_last). EVERY GRF has its own directory. (svn mkdir; svn add <grf>)
- Update GRF Table (Trunk)
- title with revision number
- link to grf, grfcrawler isn't always right, TT-Forums should work if no official link available, links mostly change after update there...
- if there is a readme available, a link from column Details would be nice (link to www.openttdcoop.org/newgrfs/...)
- don't forget the credits (you see them in the GRF itself...)
- write the svn revision to status
