Subject: Re: help new player with basic info
Easy enough. Just download the latest nightly build standalone (http://www.maxr.org/...-latest.7z), unpack and maxr away. No need to install it even. Simply try it out before stepping in the dungeon.

The latest release has a fancy installer as well. You can simply install it by pressing "Forward" until it's done.

Most people that are playing active meet in the evenings (GMT+1) on the IRC and start games there. Personal flavors of MAXR are disscussed before games start. In fact most people on the IRC always play with the latest nightly build to help us debug.

If you want the missing sounds and original graphics you have to run the resinstaller (NOT in the latest nightly but either in the release version or in e.g. Eiko's nightly that acts like a patchset to the release). That's however up to you. For the core programm it only matters that you use the very same Nightly (revision) or Release (version) as the host does.
