Why does the competition link at the top of the site still link to that really old competition page rather than the new one?
It can't take long to change surely?

Yeah thats true, but I don't know how to change the link. I think only Clubsoft or Andi can do it (and should do it!)

I think i'll have to drop out because we can't include installers. The .avi files won't work with the whole "appdrive + appdir + "filename" thing. It works with .ini files, yes, but not to _load_ .avi files to run in the game's window. WHY CAn'T WE INCLUDE FREAKING INSTALLERS? IT DOESN"T MAKE MANY FILES SCATTERED ON THE HARDDRIVE AT ALL! NOT ANY! they all go into one directory!

If you have the movie in the same directory as the game then, instead of:
"C:/myXmasgame/Movie.avi" you can have it say: "Movie.avi"... works for me...

 
Current projects: "Vollo Arena"
God bless you

Installers have been a long time regarded as a waste of time as they slow down people when they are quickly trying out a demo. It's only a small annoyance but an annoyance all the same.

can you not simply use appdrive+ appdrive to load the avi too?

It's like this:
appdrive$ + appdir$ + "file.mov"

You can also use this:
"./file.mov"

It does the same with most extensions, I noticed.
