====== Spell Shuffle Intro ======

Spell Shuffle is an experimental archetype branch.

This page summarizes the concept and ideas of tweaking spells and spell school reorganization.

Make sure to read the [[https://sourceforge.net/p/crossfire/code/HEAD/tree/arch/branches/Spell_shuffle/SPELL_SHUFFLE_README|SPELL_SHUFFLE_README]] if considering using these changes.

===== Download =====

To download via SVN:

svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/branches/Spell_shuffle

===== Deployment =====

Chose one (1) of the options below between **Existing Server** or **New Server**

==== Existing Server ====

You can use the //svn switch// command to switch to the Spell Shuffle directory.

Switch to your existing archetype directory, for instance:

  cd /home/<name>/arch.svn

Then enter the following command:

  svn switch https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/branches/Spell_shuffle
  
The directory will automatically update with the Spell_shuffle changes.

Make sure to recollect to recompile the server to use the Spell_shuffle archetypes.

==== New Server ====

To use the Spell_shuffle archetypes with a newly setup server only requires a change to one step.

Instead of downloading the Trunk Archetypes, download the Spell_Shuffle archetypes using SVN. Like so:

  $ svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/server/trunk server.svn
  $ svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/maps/trunk maps.svn
  $ svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/branches/Spell_shuffle arch.svn

Refer to [[server:server_compiling|Compiling the Crossfire Server]], starting at **SETUP** for the rest of the steps.

See the instructions below (//Switching Back//) to use the Trunk archetypes if you want to go back to that codebase.

=== Switching Back ===

To change back to the //regular// SVN archetypes, make sure you are in the archetype directory, for instance:

  cd /home/<name>/arch.svn

Then enter the following command:

  svn switch https://svn.code.sf.net/p/crossfire/code/arch/trunk
  
The directory will automatically update with the Trunk changes or code base.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to either recollect the archetype or recompile the server again to go back to use the Trunk archetypes

=== More Information ===

How can you tell which archetype code base you are using?

The command //svn info// will show you. Check the line of text that starts with //URL://

Here's sample output for **Trunk**:
