[Info-liquidwar6] [Help-liquidwar6] Liquid War 6 0.0.4beta

[Christian Mauduit]

Hi,

Some Liquid War 6 news ;)

Quoting the NEWS file:

-----8<------------------------------------------------------------
* September 2008: release of 0.0.4beta. The major change is that
  the game now runs on both GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows. Other
  ports for platforms such as *BSD or Mac OS/X are very likely to
  be technically possible, provided all requirements are installed,
  however this has not been tested. The game has been released in a
  temporary state which only allows map loading. The motivation was
  to allow map designers jailed on Microsoft proprietary systems to
  draw maps without the hassle of trying maps on Liquid War 5 or
  relying on the mere hope that it would hopefully work, some day.
-----8<------------------------------------------------------------

In short, good news for map designers, players still need patience.

There has been some minor changes in map syntax, take a look at the
online documentation. One notable minor change is the fact that the
"sky" color has been renamed "lightblue". Seems ridiculous but hey, I
did it 8P

Official tarball (currently uploading it...) ->
