Why? rar is pretty much standard these days.

Justin, I'm going to be releasing a new version either today or tomorrow anyway, so you might as well just wait till its uploaded to the ULM. I wanted to wait till the contest was over with before influencing the judges by releasing a newer version.

Why should we use an inferior format? There are plenty of free rar programs out there.

Bimevi should simply unpack into the Uru CC directory.

Re: Help with Rad winning ages.
I like WinRAR as it opens up like a window you can explore files with.
Many of the FPS games use .rar formats, only the rename the file extensions: .pk3 or .iwd. With .iwd you can just associate the file with WinRAR and it will open right up.
I use zip files 'cause I'm lazy. Just right click in the window and make a zip file. But I agree with others here, .rar is a better and more reliable format than .zip. I've seen too many corrupted .zip files.

7Zip extraxts rar, but I just use winrar anyways
Zip isn't an inferior format, and in one case I came across, it was a very much needed feature for rar archives

Oh well... maybe I will get winrar, it just seems unnecesary, as my memory is getting really low...
Anyway, congratulations to all the winners, all those ages are amazing

Re: Help with Rad winning ages.
For the convenience of the end user, maybe we could all agree on keeping the URU install directory structure, when distributing our ages, to make the installation procedure a single consistent drag'n'drop?
Oh, and great entries, everyone involved! :)

Not sure if I remember this correctly, but aren't some of the folders named differently in localized versions?

Never heard of this. Do we have any German, or French, or other anglophobic members ;) who can confirm/refute?
