Downloading and uploading as we- chat-

and this is not 3.4, this is 3.3 (i mean "Mission: ACE on Takistan")

I'm pretty sure I've updated it to v3.4 myself - download it and double-check what I'm saying is correct. If I've made a mistake, update the mission and send it to me, and I'll put it into the next release.

Ok guys, I'm gonna have to ask you guys to start logging bugs on Dev-Heaven (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/mso) - otherwise, we'll end up with 40 pages of repeated reports like the last forum thread!

Please log bugs and feature requests, and I'll correspond directly with you to sort it out!

Cheers in advance.

Just been playing for...oh God it's 2am, nearly 8 hours straight. Lucky I don't have a life really. Running very smoothly compared to the last version. A few odd bugs which we'll test/reproduce before logging on dev-hev, but epicly intense non-stop patrol action all day. Really good stuff

[Wolffy.au]

That is fantastic to here. Was just noticing how long this version took to get out. I'll start trying to do short sharp releases, rather than huge ones.

Hey, here's a tip for updating your MSO's to the latest version.
There is a utility I use called TreeComp (http://creobellum.org/node/163) where you basically you point it to your old and new directories and it shows you graphically what has changed.Thats how I maintain 6 MSO's so quickly.

You can copy the files across using the utility and if you download windiff.exe, it will actually show you whats changed between the contents of the files.
