Rerun the installer, and this time get some maps and mods to play with. You only installed the spring engine itself and some support data.

To make it simpler: you just downloaded a steering wheel and gas pedal. Now you need to get a car. Fortunately there are many models to choose from, all of which are free.

You know a guide like that would be good for Linux newbies i think too. Funny idea but also useful.

If you can't design an installer that someone can understand, no instructions will help them later.

Typo.


Just thought I'd let you know. It kinda sorta skews the entire meaning of your post. But no biggie.

Idiots Guide misses Firewallwarning...

404 Idiots can´t connect and starve to Death...

;)

We need a big Red - Do all that work for me i am Born dumb Button - short the D.A.T.W.F.M.I.B.D.-Button

It can be reused after the first join as Ragequit

PS: That wasn´t ment to insult new Players. It is just a real peace of work to get spring running - compared to comercial games. We should a a Lottery before you are allowed to enter the Lobby. And a Flamewarrior Chargenerator, you can roll real Dices...

the installer is broken.

it tries to download maps and mods from unknown-files which is down. Upon failing to connect it silently moves on and finishes the install with no error messages.

Neither 'Test spring' nor tasclient run without any maps or mods installed and you have to manually download a map and mod before you can even connect to the lobby.

This wouldn't be such a problem if it was made obvious that you had to manually install these files but there is no mention anywhere of the problem.

I encountered this and gave up the first time. I tried again and persisted..
