That was something I specificly was looking for, and when I saw that 
this system had a nice AI class system, it looks much interesting, and 
looked like a good playground.

I was thinking about making some kind of game engine myself using 3D and 
AI, but then I saw Globulation2 at linux-games, and it looked very much 
like what I planed to play myself (much more mature) with (like autonome 
entities and all) anyway, but without 3D. And as you know, systems like 
this takes time to build (if they ever get build :-)), so I will try to 
spend some time in Globulation2 instead, but I have a daytime job and 
family to take kare of so please expect to much productivity :-)

I understand, and it was primary the sound clicking problem that tricked 
me ... but there may be other ways to fix this.

I also need more time in Your network code, it looks interesting (I read 
the txt file too.).
