Mercator Talks: new Perforce server ready. Submit current source
closed task Project: hydraperforce Reporter: cederik 20 Aug 2026 17:45

Description

Context for Andries (Soulmade). We audited the Mercator Talks content on our Perforce infrastructure and completed the reorganisation on our side. This issue now only lists what we need from you.

WHAT WE VERIFIED
The build that runs in production is fully accounted for. We compared MercatorV0.9.zip from the depot with the installed files on all four production machines. All 333 files are MD5-identical. The depot copy is exactly what runs on site.

WHAT WE CHANGED ON OUR SIDE (DONE)

  1. Visit Flanders work now has its own Perforce server: ssl:visitflanders.experiencenet.com:1667
    It holds one depot per project. Yours is mercatormetahuman.
  2. We migrated everything into one clean layout and verified every file digest:
    • //mercatormetahuman/main/Mercator56/ the Unreal project (your last source submit, 2026-03-09)
    • //mercatormetahuman/main/Builds/ all delivered builds: V0.1, V0.2, V0.7, V0.8, V0.9, V0.95
      The old duplicate copies and the accidental main/main nesting are gone.

YOUR ACCESS

  • Server: ssl:visitflanders.experiencenet.com:1667
  • User: Andries
  • Temp password: Sm-RgevdJnlF1qHxJ
    The server forces you to set your own password on first login.
  • First connect: run "p4 trust" once to accept the server fingerprint.
  • Workspace: create a NEW stream workspace on this server, stream //mercatormetahuman/main, with the workspace root mapping the stream directly. Do not reuse the old workspace. The old root mapped one level too deep, which caused the main/main nesting.

WHAT WE ASK

  1. Please submit the current Unreal source into //mercatormetahuman/main/Mercator56/. At minimum the state that produced V0.95. Target: the source in the depot must always match the newest delivered build. This is our escrow copy.
  2. Please confirm that V0.95 is the intended latest build. Production still runs V0.9. We plan the V0.95 rollout separately.
  3. From now on, submit only to the new server. Source goes to Mercator56/, build zips go to Builds/.

OLD SERVER
The old shared server (perforce.visitflanders.experiencenet.com:1666) stays read-only for Soulmade content and will be decommissioned later. Do not submit there.
