2. Patches

Windows Windows

   Package maxr-0.2.6-patch.zip Patch from maxr 0.2.5 to 0.2.6

Manual:

      Package manual.pdf
      Search [URL=docs.php?id=40] Frequently Asked Questions[/url]
      Tux Windows Installation (may be aged - see INSTALL instead)
      Tux Windows Building (may be aged - see BUILDING instead)

Important:

Due many changes we recommand a fresh install of MAXR especially when you make use of the resinstaller. Some game resources changed and if you e.g. don't see a mining station but just an odd colour spot you know that you have to rerun resinstaller 0.6.

Info:

If maxr fails to start maxr.log is a good place to start. If you're stucked it might be a good idea to take a look at the manual. Please report crashes, bugs, odd behaivors or differences to the original game on the [url=docs.php?id=22]Bugtracker[/url] (login with your forum account and your password).

Hint: Drop by on the IRC to find other players. There is no game lobby or some sort of master server. MAXR is a standalone app and you have to find other players the old way. Ask your friends, on the irc or even on the bbs. Remember about timezones when you party.

Make sure to check the manual for hotkeys and ingame commands.

Job offer: You got some free time and want to get involved? Waste precious leisure time without getting money for it? We're still looking for [url=docs.php?id=12]translators[/url], testers, sound artists, packager for various distros and especially an amiga porter! Just report on the bbs or on the irc or send us a mail/postcard Smiling
