anyway, we need the usual suspects for upload again, so jig, I think we put it also up on the sharepoint site immediately after release and you can copy it from there to the downloads section here.
also, we got some new editors (see bote screenshots&plans forum). They are replacing the old which won't work with the new multilanguage files anymore.
count the hours/minutes down guys

might be  don't know where that comes from
talkin about your sharepoint site mike, is there any bandwidth or more traffic limit set on the site? I mean it would be the obvious choice having the files stay there as mirror (but not if it gives you some kind of extra-traffic bills  ).
I really look forward to having all majors and minors finally in-game. Though there's still a lot of balancing work now to do in the ship section but I hope with a comp to fight and test yourself against, this should be more fun than with the last release!

I'm not sure what the bandwidth limit is, but I'd prefer you not use it to host game releases. I don't publish releases for Supremacy on there either.

okay. that's reasonable. let's have this site here for the releases and the other for the supplying files, images, wiki and text stuff.

@KennethGF
You have to install it in C:\Botf2\. Please check the installation hints in the readme.txt.

okay, finished it.
here's the file. Sir P. is currently finishing an installer to make things easier (though it does not auto-copy the fonts). After that we can upload it on server here.
the data-file for manual unzipping is here: http://www.botf2.com/bote/Shared%20Docu ... n/Data.zip

Excellent, thank you for the translation. Everything works fine so far, except that there are no star images on the galaxy map. They displayed fine before, and the only difference I can think of is that I'm running Windows Vista.

those are gifs. maybe that's the reason. puste should have look at that! I'm curious if the minor races now work. puste changed the reading algorithm a bit so the english version of the minorraces.data shouldn't be broken ingame anymore.
now it shows if my diplomatic translations are anywhere near readable since you'll be actually encountering and dealing with the minors and majors in this version
would be nice if someone checks for errors like wrong display messages (could be I messed up a line or two in some of the diplo files!).

OK, add another problem. Sometimes the audio engine gets distorted, and then all the music and sound effects become garbled. SirP should check his FMOD system settings and make sure they're optimal.

I'll see what I can do  . Right now I'm busy working on an editor for Supremacy. I'd say you've earned a break, SirP  .

Can't you just combine the installer with the new .zip file? If it is a .zip, then surely replacing the old version with the new one isn't that difficult?
...Or is there some programming barrier that i'm not grasping here?

I noticed that the display was over sized for my screen (in that part of what I should see ran off the right side and bottom of my monitors view.) Surely a video setting. With out looking it up in the read me file to get the setting I will assume that you will have a reset built into the game startup?
I did check the latest drivers for my video card. That seams to change about twice a week.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Then again, the first time Jig ran the Supremacy demo, he asked why it kept hanging at the title screen. Turns out he was running at 800x600, and the menu was getting cut off  .
I demand widescreen support!

well, the installer is now complete. The file can be downloaded !
jig, can you upload the file on server and remove or disable the old alpha2 files?
