Dark Souls III Walkthrough

A (heavily) WIP LaTeX walkthrough for Dark Souls III.

Building

Make sure to have a complete LaTeX installation on your system, download or clone the repository with git, and then run make from the project root.

Contributing

Send your patches to thomist@disroot.org with git send-email. If you're unsure how to do this, see git-send-email.io to learn how. Here's a short summary for a single commit — do something like this from the project root:

# Set up these options if you haven't yet
git config --global user.name  "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "you@example.org"

# Set your sendemail options. See `man 1 git-send-email` for more information.
git config --global sendemail.smtpserver     mail.example.org
git config --global sendemail.smtpuser       you@example.org
git config --global sendemail.smtpencryption tls
git config --global sendemail.smtpserverport 587
git config --global sendemail.confirm        auto
git config --global sendemail.smtppass       'Y0ur P@assw0rd'

# Configure to whom you want to send your patches
git config sendemail.to 'thomist@disroot.org'

# Set this option to prefix your email subjects appropriately for this project
git config format.subjectPrefix "PATCH DS3"

# Make your changes and commit them
sed -i 's/\s$//' Makefile # This command removes trailing whitespace
git commit -m 'Makefile: remove trailing whitespace' Makefile

# Send your patch
git send-email HEAD~1

# Suppose you reveive a reply pointing out that your patch doesn't actually
# remove all whitespace. You can amend your changes and send again.
sed -i 's/\s\+$//' Makefile # This command removes *ALL* trailing whitespace
git commit --amend Makefile
git send-email -v2 HEAD~1 # Use -v2 for a second patch, -v3 for a third, etc.

Alternatively, if you have an internet-facing web server, you can push your changes to it and send an email to thomist@disroot.org asking me to pull from it.

Make sure to write a short paragraph or two explaining each non-trivial commit, hard wrapped at 72 characters. Check out the PostgreSQL commit log1 for an example of how to annotate your commits.

I may sometimes also check for pull requests on Codeberg2, or on any other software forge where I host this project.

Patches

The directory ‘patches’ contains — unsurprisingly — patches that may be applied with

patch < patches something.patch

Read the header of each patch for more information.
