There is fork that utilizes a branch named taose which according to @LifWirser is suppose to be available here. Let's find it and ensure the branch is tracked properly.
@LifWirser is https://github.com/Taose/Vegastrike-taose it?
Yes. Announcement here: https://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=27852
Cool. We can certainly check against it and reference it as we bring things up.
And maybe bumping @Taose works too?
Don't bother. It is a very old code forked even before the move of the main code from svn to github. The history is lost on that fork but I can confirm that it does not contain any changes over the past 10 years or so.
This can be closed, can't it?
I think so - we've found it, documented it, and been told it's already been integrated into the source we're working with.
Closing unless there's something I'm missing - in which case, please re-open.
