<hr />
<div>Once you have the source code for Mafia successfully downloaded as in the [[Compiling from Source]] page, you will then need to make a patch, as the dev's don't let just anyone update the program. Fortunately, this is very simple, and once you have the patch, post it on the KoLmafia Forums for acceptance. <br />
<br />
==Windows==<br />
# Right-click on the KoLmafia folder on your desktop (this assumes you are using Tortoise SVN), click on "TortoiseSVN" and then "Create Patch...".<br />
# A new window then appears. Tick all the files you want to include in the patch (this is probably all of them), and click OK. <br />
# Tortoise SVN then merges all your changes into a single .patch file, which you can then post on the forums.<br />
<br />
==Linux==<br />
# cd into the folder where you did your svn checkout<br />
# run svn diff > /tmp/patchname.patch (a list of filenames can optionally be included after diff)<br />
# post the file on the forums for review<br />
<br />
==Mac==<br />
