Bug#461346: lincity-ng-data: help/en/windmill.xml malformed
Hello, one wish It would be good to split the lincity-ng-data package in two parts * lincity-ng-data with real data = sound, images, fonts ... ~30 MB in tgz * lincity-ng-l10n with help files and translations : data/help/ data/locale/ data/gui/ (yes gui/ is only xml text describing the ui) Together these 3 dir putted in a tgz weight only 800kB This would ease translations upgrade (currently 3 more translations are being done :) and prevent useless bandwidth usage.

Bug#461659: warsow: New version of warsow possibly non-distributable.

This two points are contradictory: 3 says no one can distribute, 4 says it's fine to distribute if you don't touch anything. Moreover, there are two different groups mentioned in here: the 'Chasseurs de bots association' and the 'Warsow Team'. We'd better take this to debian-legal. To me, it looks like a very badly-written license with ambiguous clauses.

Only small details, but just the ones that annoy us ;-) 1/ no use of ../ in the filenames. This would be very convenient for us, but can be rather easily worked-around, so its is not so important. 2/ we had some problem under windoz, PHYSFS_getLastModTime does not work as we expect (and it works smoothly under linux and afaik mac OS X). 3/ one was my lack of knowledge in C++, i did'nt knew that const char* variable can be set at runtime (and not at compile time). 4/ some distro ships physfs 1.1. development version, and it does not work for us, as we use 1.0 stable (the most recent one). It worked perfectly until we (i ;-) tried to do more refined file management for saved games (list only the most recent ones) and pre-defined scenarios with localised names instead of english names. Someone on physfs list kindly answered to (3), we hope that (2) will be solved soon. So far i have found no replacement for physfs, so i think we'll work around the small annoyments we have met :-).

Re: Addition to menu policy
Le lundi 23 avril 2007 16:52, Josef Spillner a écrit : Hello, How about we add Game-related tools or something like that to the Debian menu policy? There are a lot of such tools which do not fit into the usual game categories, but spreading them over the apps categories also seems like a bad option. Two examples where such a tools section would be needed are level editors and GGZ core clients for networking. A player would certainly expect those under Games/ instead of under Apps/editors and Apps/networking. Such a change would have to be discussed on debian-devel, but gathering some pro/con voices here seems fitting. Josef Hello Yes your idea seems very good to me. Your proposition is to sort tools from user point of vue, and gather them in one easy to find place, i like this :-) Bruno Kleinert classification sounds to me more like a maintainer point of vue, with strict definition (network in network ...) but it would sparse the tools amongst all other categories. I agree with Bruno Kleinert that maybe freedesktop should be contacted too. Best regards.

Re: Bug#414802: lincity-ng: Can not build solar power station

I can select the icon and get a blue building square on an appropiate place on the landscape, but when I click the left mouse button, nothing happens. My money is at the moment at -1169M The bug is the lack of warning message. The message exists : data/messages/no-credit-solar-power.mes and is supposed to appear: src/lincity-ng/MapEdit.cpp:ok_dial_box (no-credit-solar-power.mes, BAD, 0L); Its a feature, when your finance is negative, some buildings cannot be built. I can reproduce this bug, with the same config as you (2.6.18-4-k7 too). (the minus is NOT shown, which means another bug here). yes, another bug. (congrats for being so poor ;) I forward these 2 bugs to lincity-ng team, but i m very new to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so i don't know yet what to do to help maintaining lincity-ng package.
