Alien Arena Reloaded - Renderer Improvements, Etc

[Irritant]

The windows versions have been updated on Desura, as well as the standalone installer for Linux.

I'll leave the branch/patches up to Strat then.

I find this curious. Could you make a sales pitch on why it (or any other indie game) should?

It's not like Desura has a huge audience, it's more trouble to post updates to more places, etc.

Maybe because it is already on Desura? Jeesh...

And how should I know that, given I don't use Desura?

IMO, it is pretty clear that what is needed is a system that builds distro-specific packages. (My soapbox rant on this is: Debian is an OS, Fedora is an OS, Gentoo is an OS, ... Linux is not an OS. Ergo, TANSTAALB - There Ain't No Such Thing As Linux Binary.) Do not know much about it, but openSUSE Build Service seems like a better approach.

Hmm? Lot's of Linux games have a single installer that works on 99% of distros. See: everything icculus has ever ported.

Well, that is Icculus. From what I hear, he is a Jedi Master at Linux porting. Not so easy for us mortals.

Any way to change the sound sampling rate for the game?

Not directly. We depend on OpenAL Soft, http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html. Check alsoftrc.sample at the git repo, http://repo.or.cz/w/openal-soft.git/tree .

Many of the sound effects files are 22050 Hz. Would be a good project to create higher sample rate sound effects.
