GUI is fully-modable, we used the OTA one as basic.

i tried installing it (ubuntu 9.10), but gave up after cmake kept whining about not finding a library that i have.

Same as OTA (same as TNT format + same as COB limitations if you use COB scripts).

Can you be more explicit ? What happens, does it display an error message or something ?

You can install demo files and some other third party resources from the stable repository:
deb
http://downloads.ta3d.org/binaries/linux/apt/ stable main
If you have backup images from your disks you can also install resources files from it using the ota_resources_installer.sh script.
PS: I've just noticed there was a conflict in menu entries, sorry about that. It's less convenient than a menu entry but running "ta3d" as a command works.

I'm overflowing with confidence that I'm just stupid, but when I look at those screenshots I don't see what's different compared to OTA.
Maybe I'm just remembering OTA fondly since I haven't played it in so long? I don't know... I just don't see anything jumping out at me as being different.
Or is that the whole point, that you've written a new engine which plays exactly like the old one? In which case, why would we be interested when Spring's been largely capable of doing that since 2006 or so?
Sorry if that sounds harsh, obviously you're hardcore awesome if you can program a game engine to perfectly emulate another one, regardless of its age.

those zip files contain totala2.hpi and totala3.hpi. AFAIK i need totala1.hpi for the game to work, and the resource installer won't work form a zip file
i tried copying totala2 and 3 to the resources folder, but nothing happens when i run ta3d

Springs still not properly capable of that, see Springs horrible air unit behaviour for example

lol the ota_resources_installer script copied the entire contents of my pendrive to the ta3d resources folder instead of looking at the CD XD
