Issues with patching

[BenTrein]

On a Linux Mint machine, I'm trying to patch using the official wiki guide (https://wiki.openttd.org/Compiling_on_(GNU/)Linux_and_*BSD).

When I download the source code from GitHub, I run into the following problem:

Code: [Select]

$ patch -p0 < nice.diff
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch; use --binary to disable.)
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|Index: projects/generate_vs100.vcxproj
|===================================================================
|--- projects/generate_vs100.vcxproj (revision 28002)
|+++ projects/generate_vs100.vcxproj (working copy)
--------------------------
File to patch:
When I download the source code from the website, patching is succesful as are configure and make. However, when I try to connect to the n-ice servers I get the attached image as error message. If you don't speak Dutch, it says 'this revision does not match the server's revision'.
