Last time I installed trunk (a week and a half ago), they weren't downloaded by the installer at all. Is it currently implemented like the music? I think the music download should be implemented better - it shouldn't be downloaded if it already has been downloaded and hasn't changed since then (I hate having to uncheck "install music" each time I update Warzone so I don't have to wait for a slow Gna! server to send me the music files again). Heck, right now, I don't even know how the sequences are supposed to be packaged. The only way I've managed to get them to work without having them unpacked is either packaging them within warzone.wz, or putting sequences.wz in mods/global/autoload/. Putting sequences.wz in the main Warzone directory just causes Warzone to ignore it. > Till now we had no issues with this.

Well, Aivolution is different because it doesn't change game balance, nor models, nor anything like that; it simply improves the AI. > The one in Gentoo is quite current... ;) > Arch is probably the same.

Well, the one in the Ubuntu repositories for intrepid (the current version) is 2.1-beta4. Older versions have ridiculously old svn builds (r3595 and r1436). The next version of Ubuntu that hasn't been released yet has 2.1.0. - Zarel _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
