Spring RTS Engine

Isn't it technically legal to do as long as you just say that you have to own OTA for it to be legal, or am I just making things up?

I think that is a common misconception based on the laws allowing you to make a personal backup copy of a work you own a license to use - people equate it with downloading a backup copy.

Note, AA was in turn a mod of UberHack.

It contains a all the files of the flash tank.

AA was on sourceforge before it came to Spring.

Why did it need to contain the flash tank model if it was a TA mod?

Misquote, Pxtl said that, not me.

I'm not sure if you could override just parts like that, but the main reason was that one monolithic archive containing everything you needed to play was the easiest system to use.

Sorry.

Well ba developers should try it. And then release a bunch of updates cause there is no "ave per version dls" sort and source forge likes to waste its bandwidth.
I have an idea! make ba dependent on a satisfactory mod like sa1944 or maybe something alot smaller. THEN make make users dl updates of the smaller mod from sourceforge all the time. This is just like marketing and is already done considering what appears in the sort now.
