I have long since learned that neither you nor me will do that, because you don't have the HW and OS anymore and I don't (want to) have the skill to do it.

I don't consider this a flamewar at all. My point is merely that we are losing a lot of potential help because some 90% of all potential contributors are still on Windoze afaik.

If all the dependencies are in the repo, why then does radiant not compile ?

As you can see in our wiki, this is already planned.
We just need the people to actually do it. How about you ?
C'mon, it is just a bit of writing and one map design...

Btw we already have code to *chain* maps together. That is, one mission with two or more maps.

'hold the line' is nearly the same as 'stay tuned', meaning:
Please wait until we found a place for the 100MB.

Feature Requests / Re: Reaction fire, I really think this is good advice...

Wolls,
most of the time RF is reset because of an interruption of LoS.
Starting the RF countdown uses the same check(LoS, range,...) as firing. So if ANY of the conditions in that check fails, the countdown will be reset.

I agree that the behaviour in the scenario "walk from out of range into weapon range" feels wrong. But changing it requires quite some refactoring. But yes, it should be changed some fine day.

Meanwhile keep in mind that RF is fair/symmetrical. Any improvement will also help the aliens

...or be patient and wait until one of the devs has managed to init a 2.5 nightly build, then DL.
