(Excepting AIvolution) You know, I talked about this before, but we don't have a dedicated place to put the other mods, where people can rate them.

'Betawidget'? ;) Anyway, even with that code, it still is going to be a bear handling it, and of course, we need someone to write it, and last I looked, nobody has time to do anything like that. One issue is with Physfs, we have *one* write directory. And that is the config directory. That is it. That means, within the program, that is the only directory where we can modify (copy/delete) things, and then we got other issues as well. It would almost have to be written as a 3rd party application, or lots more work needed to recode how we deal with all the directories in warzone. > Also, is there maybe the possibility to distribute Warzone on linux on > our own again?

Looks like that each distro does what it wants to do, and we can't really force a upgrade to them. :( _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
