“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
- Maimonides
Such a great quote. Anyhow, as a developer, one should be prepared to endure a bit of research and actually learn the skills necessary to handle basics. Downloading a zipped up repo from Git/GitHub is a basic thing. Rather than asking others to spend time and energy, (being given a fish), I feel it’s far more powerful to learn how to spend one’s own time and energy to conquer a given task (learning to fish). I’m not against people asking for help, just pointing out that this is a pretty standard task, and it’s a bit weird to ask someone to zip up the source files, and host them elsewhere. Which, isn’t in line with licensing and whatnot, anyhow…
This is a modified version of the engine source, not a plugin. So you’ll be downloading the whole engine source, and compiling that to get the features presented here. You’ll need to link your account here with your account at GitHub to get access to the engine source. I leave it to you to research how to do that on your own, if you don’t already know how. Hint: there is plenty of documentation, and countless threads here on the forums where this task is covered for people new to this.
I’m sorry if I come off rude- it’s not intended. In “real life”, I am constantly running into beginners who refuse to accept the responsibility of learning. I spend more time showing someone how to type a few words into Google’s search bar, click a result, then reading… than I do actually covering topics in lesson plans and such. The documentation is there, and it seems nowadays everybody would prefer to ask others to put in the time and effort, and hand them the results. There isn’t anything wrong with spending a few hours reading up! Adversely, I’m not against easy solutions.
It shouldn’t even be an issue, but peeps are always getting angry when someone comes along, bluntly saying “do it yourself”. Heck, even when people are nice and paste links and offer a bit of guidance on how to tackle a “thing”, peeps get annoyed because they weren’t given instant results! It’s a darned shame, I tell ya. Maybe I’m just an old, grizzled jerk-face, I dunno.
At any rate, here is a picture that encompasses how to download from GitHub:
