Is there any lobby out there that can download newer engines than 98.0? I tested with Springlobby and weblobby, and they both fail. How do people accomplish this task?

I think the problem is that there is the word "develop" after the engine name.
Edit: that's SL 0.214 and latest SWL (from July or so)

I don't think it can be a local issue if I can download maps and games but not engines. Specifically it says it doesn't find theose engines. It's nice that it works for others but I don't see how that is helpfull here.
If I go to manual download and put spring* on the line, then nothing happens after I press ok. No feedback, nothing.
Edit: sorry, I didn't see that method of downloading: the search button on the download tab method you described works for me too. The manual download from tools menu doesn't work.

@jools:
the tools->download archives in springlobby works by specifying category:download type.
when looking into source code, these download categories are currently available:
https://github.com/springlobby/springlo ... r.cpp#L193
so when you want an engine, you could use this string:
"engine" as category is on the todo but not implemented (which will choose platform automaticly)

so when you want an engine, you could use this string:
its not documented, because the user has to specify if its linux/linux64/osx/windows and if he downloads wrong engine, this very likely will lead to problems / maybe a crash.engine_windows:spring 98.0

Ok, that makes sense but it's easier to use the method Turboss described and it works better.
But the lobby knows it's on a windows platform: why does it even list linux versions? I guess that's what you mean by autodetecting. Yes, it would be nice to get it working, or even more, get the automatic downloading working. But the Turbosseatic method is a good one for now imo.
