Bundle *without* sounds.dat?
Hi
Having followed the betas, and preordered the Windows version, I really don't need to download just under 60MB when I know I have most of these precious bytes on my shiny CD... Any chance of a "slim" download?
Some of us still have monthly caps on our broadband, y'see, or just don't want to wait several minutes when given the choice.
Thanks, looking forward to enjoying the final build!

Congratulations on getting this rolled out. Now, all 12 of us Mac users can glass all 3 Linux users!

It's on! :p
And I'd also like to second cde's point about the 'slim' download. It'd be nice to have something like Darwinia and Uplink; a sh-file which links to the CD/directory containing sounds.dat and any other files which aren't unique to the Linux version. (Unless, of course, the sounds.dat is different?)
Here is my signature. Make of it what you will.
Do you want to remove the "Final candidate, please test with mac and windows users" message?

Debian/Ubuntu .deb packages
I've started creating Debian/Ubuntu packages of Defcon strictly for my own use.
* Would it be possible for me to redistribute these packages?
* Would you be interested in hosting these Ubuntu packages yourself?
* Would it be possible to let ex. these Defcon packages be hosted in Debian/Ubuntu's own package repositories?
I don't see the disadvantage of this, If you're interested I could create the .deb packages for you.
PS. To reassure you, I would/will never redistribute the files without permission to do so.

Oh please say YES to repo hosting of Defcon! Auto-updating, nice icons and integration with the Games menu, more people might get the demo, another reason to evangelise about Ubuntu...
Damn, I just realised how sarcastic that sounded. I really AM an Ubuntu user who preordered Defcon way back when, and have been playing on XP until recently. I even bought licenses for friends and family, but now I just sound like a salivating fanboy.
Just nuke me.

I just found out yesterday, and I bought Defcon. I am a huge fan of IV's games, so even though I don't game much on my PC anymore (love my Wii), so I don't buy many games, I picked it up anyhow. Thanks for porting to Linux!
