Probably better to just copy them. I doubt it, but someone might be using them and could be unhappy about the deletion.

i disagree. there is zero reason for the project to keep the files. If there actually is a server op using them, then that server op will know how to get them back if they blindly update the SVN and copy from the svn folder to their server folder.

Not sure where the idea of copying from svn to server folder comes in. I was thinking of the .h and .cpp files that would just get deleted.

If the idea is to remove files that have no use to the project then the HoT and Live files should probably go too.

Actually, I was thinking we should just remove the non-functional clients such as Anniversary, HoT, Live and VoA. There is no reason to have them other than as a reference since the clients are not functional enough to be used over any other (more readily available) client. We don't need to keep them in the trunk for reference, since we would always have the option to go back through the SVN revisions that include them if needed (which is not likely). And if the RoF client goes as well as I am hoping it will, we will have a free, legally attainable, stable, complete client that should be available for about a year or more without any patching. It has the potential to be the best over-all client to date.

And BTW, we are moving right along. Char select is looking good enough to progress to the trying to enter world stage:



I will try to get something on the SVN pretty soon. I would like to hear more feedback as to whether it is a good idea to replace the VoA files with RoF ones though (renaming the files and everything referring to VoA in them to RoF).
