E2 Extension Transfer

[evil128]

This is more an Enhancement then an issue, but i was wondering if someone else here cares about this and could help. I found out that UWSVN is rather inactive and i was wandering if at least the "good" E2 extensions like PropCore or HoloAnim are worth fixing them for the new E2 versions and then transfer them to the Wiremod SVN. Bouth, holoAnim and PropCore are disabled by default and can be enabled with console command. This means they are no threat to people who are afraid of guys who keep abusing this functions. The only issue i can see this far is that they are outdated and still working with "RegisterExtension".

It would be nice if someone could hook up to this little "project", since PropCore and HoloAnim became something kinda essential in E2. I guess it would be the best if someone could contact Divran and ask for permission. Files can be found here:

Thanks for your interest,

I've been trying to organize merging those two into official wire the past few days actually in #Wiremod, but last night Anticept moved the repository to be underneath the wiremod organization as you can see, which means we can make pull requests to it.

I made a pull for holoAnim wiremod/wire-extras#1, I'll run tests on Prop Core today.

If you have any specific complaints in the future regarding UWSVN please post them on https://github.com/wiremod/Wire-Extras/issues

Ok thanks I'll do as you say. If you need someone who test stuff, just ask for it ;). I'd love to help.

Haha sorry Nebual, hopefully I didn't waste too much of your time :)

[Nebual]

Oh no Anticept, having Wire-Extras on github is probably the best thing to do.
I was just thinking those two E2 extensions specifically could graduate into official wire as they're quite commonly used, but the important thing is we can push updates to them :D

hahaha good to know I'm not the only one who thought that this 2 extensions are worth to get into Wiremod ^^ If u make progress, tell me (or I'll see). Also, if you are looking for a Sandbox-Server some when, we will get our new dedicated server and I made an Auto-SVN server-tool (Batch based) so wiremod and stuff will allways be updated.
