Pleiades - The Bitfighter Level Database

Find your place among the stars

Installing

Dependencies

• PHP, MySQL, Apache, all properly configured
• Apache mod_rewrite enabled
• Override enabled so that the root .htaccess takes effect
• PHP GD module
• Functional PhpBB3 instance
• Git (for retrieving dependencies as submodules)
• A database for Pleiades (you should probably call it pleiades)

Development Dependencies

• PHPUnit from phpunit.de
• XDebug (available as php-xdebug in Debian)
• A test database (you should probably call it pleiades_test)
• The compass gem from rubygems.org

Instructions

1. Checkout the repo into a suitable directory (you need to actually check it out via git).
2. cd in to the repo.
3. git submodule init and then git submodule update.
4. cd app/Config and cp database.php.default database.php.
5. Edit database.php as needed with MySQL or other database info.
6. If this is a production server, edit core.php and change Configure::write('debug', 2); to Configure::write('debug', 0);
7. Load the schema into the DB: mysql -uroot -proot pleiades < schema.sql
8. It should run now!

Development instructions

8. To run tests, visit localhost/pleiades/test.php. If any of them fail, expect trouble.
9. To work on the stylesheets, run compass watch sass from the root directory, and edit sass/src/pleiades.scss
10. Hackity hack, and send your pull requests to kaen on github :)
11. If you have ssh access with a configured pubkey on bitfighter.org, simply running ./deploy.sh will update the server from the github repo.

My sincere thanks to Watusimoto and raptor on #bitfighter at irc.freenode.net for writing a game that inspired me to create such a preposterous contraption, and for their patience during this process.
