TA Spring Updated - Total Annihilation

from the site:

Welcome to the Spring Project. This is an open source project developing a new realtime strategy game.

A bit late for a christmas present, but here it is anyway: Spring 0.76b1

An incredible amount of changes made it's way into this release of Spring. To name just one, the installer now allows you to download various mods and maps during the install process. Because of this, there also is no updating installer available anymore: you can use the same installer to upgrade your 0.75b2 install or to do a fresh full install.

Please thank all people who have contributed to this Spring release:
Betalord, LordMatt (pimped the installer), Auswaschbar (full network code rewrite!), koshi (new settings.exe), KDR_11k, Satirik (TASClient), Kloot, Victor, trepan (our LUA master), submarine (AAI), lurker, Belmakor, tombom (changelog guru), imbaczek, FLOZi, ILM_Titan, Exit_Wound, tc-, jcnossen, yuritch, jK, BrainDamage, qknight, rattle, AF, malric, pbrook, wcspxyz and semi.

Additionally thanks to everyone who helped with the (not so) weekly testing! Especially the last week this was really necessary to get rid of the last major bugs.

As always, source code is available too, either in a .tar.bz2 (for Linux users only) or in a .zip (for Windows users only). It is, however, recommended to check out the source from our SVN repository if you want to do any serious development on it.

Notes:

- When using the new settings.exe (possibly from the installer), it may ask you a question about where to find unitsync.dll. In this case, browse to your Spring folder and select unitsync.dll. After that, I will work (and keep working).

- By selecting the mods XTA or BA in the installer you are legally required to own the original total annihilation game. The other mods are free of such content, and can be selected any time.

- If you get error: missing default cursor after you downloaded a mod from Unknown Files, download this archive, unzip it, and put the 3 files inside in C:\Program Files\base\ (or wherever you installed Spring). Remember that you may only legally do this if you own the original total annihilation game. If you don't own it, you have to play only mods that don't give this error.

- settings.exe simple mode sets ground decals to insanely high values. Use only expert mode, and make sure Ground decals on the Render details tab is set to 1. Anything higher will just cost you (a huge amount) of frames per second.
