Thought I would give Descent a try again.

I'm confused by the install instructions, though.
Here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/descent/wiki/Installing
It basically says "ignore the instructions below and go to this other page"
But the other page only has a download link with no instructions.
And the download just contains two folders and no README or anything.

So how does one install a nightly build of descent?

Hi Bill,

I just added to the nightly build download page a link to the explanation how to install it on Windows. For Linux it should be almost the same, copy the plugins and features contents in their corresponding folders.

http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/descent/
http://dsource.org/projects/descent/wiki/UsingNightlyBuildsUnderWindows

(the second link is on the home page, but you are right, it should also be in the download page)

Thanks!
Ary

Wow! That looks nice! So many screenshots! :-)

I wish I could understand that language... Is it chinese, korean or japanese? I'm discarding japanese because I don't see any hiragana or katakana symbol...

It's Chinese.
