A GUI interface for loading modpacks is IMO sorely needed. Non-Linux users are struggling with using modpacks since it involves selecting a tileset before starting the game, something that is not possible through the GUI as it is now. Alternatively, the 'Local Options' dialogue should be made accessible from the main menu. ~Daniel _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
