...For me personal the continous lack of active multiplayer players is the most demotivating thing...Well, recently we have visible increasing number of new players so situation isn't bad
but I understand titi's point of view when he usually joins lobby at 11-12pm+ and there are no European vampires around ready to play 
.
e.g.: could all these factions...Nope
...but it was very unfinished when I tested it and it's not playable (some resources can't be harvested)...have around 0% chance to be there at the moment.
blocking should never be done, show a warning when entering the internet lobby...Warning for whom?
[20:35] --> MG_newbie_693 XXX joined this channel.and always like this?
[20:35] <MG_newbie_693> << Warning: Beware this player is a noob!.
... -> ~5.0 even slower again
. In your case "link checker" returned very odd output and in further investigation I found out that your avatar sometimes load veeery slow, way more than 1 second ...I tried pressing F to get to Free Camera, but it appears double-pressed back to Game Camera...The question is: Why do you think that it is a bug?
...Tried also rotating buildings with R, but rotates at 180 angle and I have to hold R to remedy this...I can't reproduce this.
...go to the MG-Gameserver-Lobby,probably related issue: https://github.com/MegaGlest/megaglest-source/issues/111
press windows key,
Close MG by using the return and exit buttons,
>>>> MG crashes after closing its screens...
its not possible since mg 3.12 to get to the desktop by pressing the windows key.(I didn't try to reproduce this) ... but good description
When you press the windowskey when MG is running, the taskbar is displayed, but game (or lobby or optionscreen) is still displayed. If you click something on taskbar the taskbar disappears again...

The message I received during our first attempt to play with zexeed was in German. Normally all the messages I receive while in-game are in English.
This was the text inside the dialog box:Code: [Select]"Timeout erreicht beim Warten auf den Server"...
this information will help for other testers 
.
so message fits perfectly somewhere on Microsoft's forum but I agree that you feel good where are real issues ...Assuming that we are talking about "normal average users", then If precompiled binaries were "produced" on:
Perhaps that should have been my first question: Is there much advantage to running software built on one's own system, instead of running software that's been precompiled?
...Sure, basically in your case easy way is to get prebuild binary archive + "standalone data" archive then unpack & merge them and put where you want and then just replace binaries (built by using "build script" and with using -d flag) and launch binaries directly (not by scripts)
But perhaps it's not even really an issue if you're using relative paths. After I build, I could just copy what I need to $HOME/local/megaglest-current (for example)?
And then I'd extract the data to the appropriate directories. Simple.
....So in the past you used ./configure <a lot of parameters> and now you need to use cmake <a lot of parameters>
<andy_5995> I am used to using ./configure --prefix=$HOME and then running make install
...
What I often do with source packages that include a configure script is ./configure --prefix=$HOME or $HOME/local or some such thing. Sometimes I will install as root ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
...
I was a Slackware user for many years, so am just used to, or familiar with, building from source and then installing (thought I used Slackbuilds a lot which made things very easy).
...
...Is there a brightness setting in the game...Hehe Yes, but imo 90% of readers expected that you tried at least set brightness
....I am playing on a Mac with OS 10.9.5...Which version of MegaGlest?
and ~ you should do compilation by hand "cmake <a lot of parameters which fits to your preferences> ... ; make" I build the package from the source directory, but how to install it to $HOME/local/games ?heh even much harder question because e.g. it depends what you want to get on the end and what methods are acceptable for you

[/list]Please not that there is no CC-BY-SA license. There are several versions of this license, as well as localizations of it. Some of which can be incompatible. So at least for the file format we will need to have explicit values for e.g. CC-BY-SA 2.0 Germany and CC-BY-SA 3.0 United States to create anything useful....
...
@tomreyn: I don't want to add a ton of licenses to choose from! In fact we just need one License which is compatible with the games maps and "others" ....
Does there exist any idea how to communicate this behaviour to the common user ?Imo only 2 ways:
.Eh, there's no reason to be constrained to relative paths. That makes no sense...Oh because just because? "Good" beginning, no comment.
...It's a command line flag, so it doesn't matter if it works for other people...%%APPDATA%%...Just ridiculous, completely opposite, Perfect is when:
...This is probably due to concatenating a path somewhere instead of letting the OS work its magic...%%APPDATA%%...What magic?
On which OS? (cross-platform!) This one which your variable seems to suggests, where even simple usage of %programfiles% may return unexpected results? or this magic related with sending personal data to mICROSOFT? 
...Therefore, the current functionality seems to be unintended.Hmm In my opinion this functionality was intended and I am pretty sure there was a time when was widely used (some old svn times). Since softcoder introduced glest-dev.ini is probably much less used, but for sure is still used sometimes.
...There is nothing wrong in having possibility to set it as "absolute or relative" but conversion "relative" > "absolute" is imo a wrong idea...How to do this? If we will assume absolute path as default (maybe less confusing). Example:
--ini-path=/home/andy/.megaglest-git/mk/linux/
--ini-path=rel,./ Easy to document, easy to remember, easy to use.
