Spring.exe = the engine. A number of games can run on this engine.
Games usually come packed as .sd7 files but since some time there also are download system that download a game as multiple small files. (faster when updating)
Zerok-K = A game. (as in, the game data files)
zero-k.exe = zero-k Lobby, a multiplayer lobby. Despite its name it works for other games too. (name is just because the makers of the zero-k game made it)
So I typed in:
Well, that did SOMETHING cause my terminal is going nuts! I'll post back in a bit to see if it works.
svn co = svn check out. In case you dont know, svn is some thing where multiple people can work on the same project over the internet.
So basically that will just download the zero-k game files in a form that is usefull to game makers who want to work on it.
I launch Spring and no games show up when I click "test games" or "maps.
Somewhere in your spring installation should be a folder named "mods"
Place the zk.sdd in there.
If you found the folder but the zk.sdd does not show up, try downloading this file:
http://springfiles.com/spring/games/xta
and place it in there. (no unzipping)
oh new postings, i type too slow..
So, in which of those folders should I place the folder zk.sdd ?
/Users/bstone/.spring/mods
