Contributing

The repository has three main branches:

• development
• merging
• master

In short, the suggested workflow looks like this:

• commit your assets and ESP patches into development,
• merge and remove the ESPs in merging,
• forward merging into master and back into development.

Here is the process in detail.

All ESP patches and assets must be committed to development and its sub-branches. Keep in mind, other patches may interfere with your changes, you may want to test your patches in a separate sub-branch and merge it into development later.

The development branch is merged to merging, fully or through cherry-picking. ESP patches should be merged into ESMs here, English string files must also follow all changes.

Completed merges (with all ESPs merged in and removed) should be forwarded from merging to master and back into development, removing merged ESPs and updating ESMs without touching other patches.

master must always have a playable copy of the game without any additional patches.

All localizations in the enderal-l10n repository must be updated to match master.

Releasing

To create a complete English build:

• Switch to the master branch.
• Run _build\build.cmd to pack assets into BSA archives and copy necessary files to DISK:\Enderal SE Build. File loose_files.txt contains names of files, which will be also copied as loose files.
• Manually copy E - Sounds.bsa, L - Voices.bsa, and the Video directory to DISK:\Enderal SE Build.

enderal-l10n will have its own script, copying additional localizations to the build directory.
