Hey Jason,


I'll try to explain why I am confused with the win32 releases:


If you go to http://freeciv.org/download.phtml (the freeciv download page)
and click on the link under "freeciv-win-cvs-Dec-18.zip" which is 
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/latest/freeciv-win-cvs-Dec-18.zip , you will get 
a build that still has the bug in it. And this was the build (or the place 
where I took the builds) to which I was refering to. In fact, I was convinced 
that this ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/latest is the location that contains 
the daily builds. When I submitted the bug, I have exactly specified which 
build it was, I believe, so I don't think I have introduced any confusion. And 
I understand that a patch has been created by a freeciv developer, in response 
to the reported bug, i.e., after I reported it. 
Finally, the other Win32 download site linked from freeciv, specifically for 
win32, is http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~akemnade/civhome.html and it 
contains a link to a downloadable binary package at 
http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/akemnade/countciv.sh If You 
click on that link, you will download a file named freeciv-win-cvs.zip, 
different from the one linked directly from freeciv.org. Anyway, that build 
still contains the bug, and it has contained it for some time, as it's where I 
discovered it first. (as a curiosity, that package contains two different 
builds, both stil with the bug).

Finally, the link Andreas sent me, 
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/packages/windows/freeciv-1.14.1-win32.zip I have 
not seen being linked from freeciv.org or from Andreas' own site to which 
freeciv's download page links to. Maybe you guys knew about it all along, more 
power to you, but I'm just a humble outsider, relying solely on the freeciv 
website.

As for the Engels tileset, I did not say it was a bug, but the ones that were 
available at the time did not work with the win32 version of freeciv, so I had 
to convert them to .png while keeping the original alpha channel. More info you 
can get from Mike Kaufman [kaufman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx].

Unfortunately, I can't find the e-mail I sent the converted tileset in, anymore.


cheers


mario
