What Is SVN?
SVN means the most up-to-date version of the code, even more updated than the latest release.
It is the project's set of working files that have been edited since the last release came out.
For example, a bug can exist in release 1.x but fixed in SVN, meaning those changes will be published in the next official version.
How to download Wiremod from SVN
If you are lazy, Scroll down to 'Too Complicated?'
1. Get a suitable SVN client (Tortoise SVN is a good choice: http://TortoiseSVN.net)
2. Make sure you remove the "wire" folder from inside your addons folder
3. Create a folder in addons called "wiremodCO"
4. If you have Tortoise SVN, right click the wiremodCO folder, and choose "SVN Checkout"
5. Enter this address: "https://wiremod.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wiremod/trunk/" If prompted for a username and password use anonsvn for username and anonsvn for password. You can also use this autolink, if Tortoise SVN was installed correctly: Tortoise autolink (for advanced SVN users!)
6. Press OK
7. After the download completes, move the following folders from "[all your folders]\garrysmod\addons\wiremodCO" to "[all your folders]\garrysmod\addons":
* wire
* wire model pack 1
* Adv Duplicator
8. Delete the folder "[all your folders]\garrysmod\addons\wiremodCO".
(Don't worry, svn puts database files in each folder to keep track of things, you don't need the original wiremodCO in order to continue using SVN)
Wiremod might display a note in the middle of your screen.
This note means you didn't do the last two steps (properly).
To update wiremod: Right click on the appropriate folder(s) and choose SVN update to update to the latest wire version. You can hold control + left click the folders first to select more than one, and then right-click one of the subversion folders to update all of them (subversion will automatically exclude non-svn folders!) in one go. As of this writing, the wire folders are "Adv Duplicator,"wire model pack 1" and "Wire".
