Very nice! Thank you guys for listening! I really like the way it works now, and it's also much more attractive now as well (just installing x and progress bar).

Thanks!

It would help me if you hinted what changes you are referring to :D

(My rapid still is a command line tool, you are talking about x and progress bars. Am i missing out on sweet UI rapid or whats going on)

Well for example, it is less verbose and something else change (can't remember what, but obviously I was rather pleased )

"sweet" might be debatable but try rapid-gui.exe
Have not noticed any changes though... (in 85.0 install vs 0.82.7)

I am on ubuntu linux, and apt-cache search rapid-gui did not find anything..

I have not noticed any difference in how rapid works after upgrade to 85.

It's not packaged in debian/buntu or spring's ppa. Use

I tried what you suggested, but it failed with some errors.

I got the rapid-gui to launch, and it seems to be working with a few errors printed to console:



edit: installing pip brings in some new version of a library that will apparently break rapid. Took some days to debug this with the helpful guys of #zk. Also, rapid-gui comes with rapid-spring in ubuntu ppa:s so no need for pip in the first place.

install python-dev
also: https://github.com/tvo/rapid

Thanks, that fixed the errors while doing pip --upgrade

It did not however remove the two warning? messages while launching rapid-gui. It seems to be working fine however.

Slightly OT bump, how about an Icon for rapid? AF maybe using the 'standard' icon style?

Partly just for http://springrts.com/wiki/GamesDownloads

I made a spring downloader icon but nobody used it as Car thought it was meh at 16x16 and wouldn't look at the revision I made, because it was being renamed anyways.

I'm unsure how I'd do the Rapid logo though as rapidity isnt easy to convey.

Doesn't have to be anything amazing. IMO slanting arrows or multiple arrowheads will convey speed.

That could do if it had the layer styles, as it is currently it doesnt scale as well, but the shape is right.

I'm thinking now more along the lines of files, an arrow indicating speed doesn't scream content delivery to me

Folder with a down arrow on one side.

That wouldn't scale to 16x16, a folder with a hole in the middle shaped like an arrow would be better, but then that would be more appropriate for archive mover than the current star logo

A big letter R might be best for the moment
