Yeah that's fixed in svn with an update sent after each stage of loading. And it's not creating sky, it's loading lua and just doesn't have a seperate message in 75b2.

I'll write up some reasons for Evolution later today, but what do you mean it hasn't had a public release?

1. Consistent Balance
2. Different Atmosphere
3. Continued Support
4. Free Of OTA Content

Play is rapid, and lethality is high.

My understanding is that the mod has only been released to select testers.

Original content mods tend to be quite a bit larger than TA based ones because as a general rule, the content that TA based mods rely on comes included in the spring installer, so you don't actually notice the added download size nor does the content that ta based mods rely on ever need updating, allowing for exponentially decreased filesizes.

Whereas in original content mods, everything that the mod needs or has to rely on must be included in the mod download which causes the filesize to increase exponentially. Sorry :/

im not complaining, its great to have a non-ta mod in active development :)

(when i get home from work i will test/play with Evolution)

Thank goodness I have kdr to help with it. Af and I talked through it, I am sure all is well. Kdr has posted a new version that you can include :).

Thread locked. A new thread with updates is posted.
