I dont found them in the thread for Windows Installer.
I have my UFO in H:\UFO A.I. 2.3 dev
Can i Install the new Versions in the self directory to overwrite the old Version, or must i deinstall and install new?
Thanks for your help.

Right now there is no installer for 30022. You need to compile an installer yourself, which is really easy with Muton's script. See the links in the Windows subforum, he has a thread about that and his sig has a link to the guided compiling process in the wiki.

Easy? My English was good enough to read and play the most games. And i understand the most of this very good description. But not all and its very much work to play a trunk version. I think i use the official Windows Versions and wait. To Bad, so i can not help with Beta playing. A Bug i see was eventually fixed in a newer Version.
But thanks for the help.^^

Do you really think that peoples don`t know how to work with computer programs? «Check to set», «Click to start edit» and so on. Be clearler, please.

All 'Click to' & 'Check to' removed in r30033.

If someone else wants to continue my work regarding this subject feel free to do so. I am getting a little bit tired of it when doing this too long ;)
I will revisit my animations now  ;)

Can you explain your shortscuts (all that * and + before strings)?
Also, is there any reason to move checkboxes, so now all menu doesn`t look consistent?

This is wip, but my goal was to make everything logical & consistent.

The * stands for submenu.
The + stands for special options worth changing & there is only max one 'special' option at the end of the submenu.

I moved stuff because I thought it would be more logical to have all battlescape camera options in one place, all battlescape gameplay options in another place.
The menu was not consistent, all the checkboxes where anywhere. Now all the checkboxes in all menus have the same x position.
Now all the apply settings (sound & graphics) buttons have the same x position.
Now you can read all the text because the windows have enough place to hold it.
Now everything in the 'options' has a tooltip explaining stuff in detail.

But I have to go & make some final bugfixes now...
