Welcome to the Automato wiki!

This is documentation for editing scripts. For general A Tale in the Desert usage and macro information, see the ATITD Wiki

This page was recently ported from a text file and the ATITD wiki, and could use some cleanup! This wiki should be editable by anyone with a GitHub account, please help us improve our documentation!

Source Code

Source code for Automato itself is not required to create, edit, and maintain macros. It is available via public SVN (recommended to use TortoiseSVN): svn://www.dashingstrike.com/other/VeggieTales. Commit access available to anyone who asks. It might move it to GitHub someday, but external dependencies and Git don't work as magically as SVN. To check out with a command-line client:

svn checkout svn://www.dashingstrike.com/other/VeggieTales

Or, git itself contains a rudimentary SVN client, so you can get the code and externals via these commands, but it takes a really long time, and will not automatically pull externals for you in the future to get updates, so really isn't recommended, unless you're just looking for a (really inefficient) way to get a snapshot of the code:

git svn clone svn://www.dashingstrike.com/other/VeggieTales Automato
git svn clone svn://www.dashingstrike.com/src/GLOV Automato/GLOV
git svn clone svn://www.dashingstrike.com/src/Projects/User/Automato Automato/Projects/User/Automato
