daredevil Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Dumb noob question. Which files do I download to get RC4 running? I've been playing w/ RC3, but don't remember the steps I took to get it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Well, I downloaded the 2.0 RC4 win32.zip file and it worked fine. Hey Zombie you need to update your sig. Aftershock is available at £8.99 from Amazon these days Yeah, I've been meaning to update it for a while now since Aftershock came down in price. Maybe Pete can come up with something different for us admins. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daredevil Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for the intel. Looks like I'll be burning up my DSL connection when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 It's not too bad. Took me a little less than an hour with a DSL speed of 1Mbps. No doubt about it, ~500 MB is a big file. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arghis Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 ...- Zombie And if you want the very beautiful Hi Res image they used for the night background ,go there => Population Data - Light in the night A must see :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Mmmm... *Zombie drools*. Isn't that a great pic? Personally, I can't get enough of those high-quality Geoscape renders (especially the night-time showing the population density). I have a similar one from a competing project as my computer background right now. Time to switch! But, why is the entire globe in complete darkness? Did the sun suddenly wink out? - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
