sty+ct+ap
Latest downloads can be found here. Alternate source of builds, currently up to 2019-02-03.

This is an add-on to sty+ct with additional commands and other features.

Downloading and unpacking
We maintain (don't confuse this with "we support", this is still unsupported third party code) a reasonably up to date version of the code in a bzr branch here. To fetch it, you'll need Bazaar. Type into your console

This would give you the vanilla sty branch. Most people nowadays prefer the sty+ct branch instead, it adds still more features. For that, you use:

Another popular option is the sty+ct+ap branch, which adds even more functionality.

Optional (and risky, you may get difficult to resolve conflicts): merge in changes from the mainline with

If you really want to use SVN, scroll down!

Building and installing
Now that we have patched our code, we can begin the build process which will process the source and output the binaries which will be ready for use. First, we will generate a configure script using bootstrap.sh. On FreeBSD, you may need to modify the bootstrap.sh http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php/Help:Editingscript to point to the location of the automake tools since they may not be in your path, but in /usr/local/libexec/automakeXX and /usr/local/libexec/autoconfXX.

You may receive an error, and have to install the autoconf package for your system. Once we are notified that we have a working configure script, we can configure. The code given would install in the user's home directory.

Finally, the standard make and make install. You will obviously want to su to root if you are installing outside your home folder.

On FreeBSD, you may need to run as:

Next, copy the Your_mom directory from the SOURCE_DIR/resources to your new resource folder in $PREFIX/share/games/armagetronad-dedicated/resource. You can now modify the sample config files given in the SOURCE_DIR/config/examples. Now you should have a functional CTF server. All that's left is tweaking settings!

= SVN way of downloading and applying patch = '''WARNING: This method is now basically obsolete. Please use bazaar if at all possible (and I can't think of a good reason why not). It is already pre-patched and up to date.'''

The following is the traditional old way of getting the patch. It causes lots of conflicts you will need to resolve if followed to the letter.

So, here do we start, we need lastet SVN(=the lastet development revision) and the pigsty patch in order to install sty.

(Note: you will need to download subversion software from http://subversion.tigris.org/ and install it for your specific OS)

(You'll enter these codes in your SSH connection to your dedicated server, or in your terminal at home if you use your computer to host the server. Note that you wont enter the $ at each line, this character is generally used to indicate it's in a shell.)

We'ill create a working directory and enter in it to let the patches and the source here.

Then we download the source of armagetronad.

And the pig sty patch.

Once the download is finished, we unpackthe zip file we downloaded:

Now that all the resources and the patch have been unzipped, we will patch our code.
