[Release] ACE v0.8g BETA

[AnthraX]

*** INTRODUCTION ***

After a long wait, here's another version of ACE. A lot has changed since the (rushed) v0.6q release so I won't give you a full list here. The most notable changes are:

* All v0.6q bugs have been fixed
* Updated protection
* Compatibility with WINE, Linux and Mac OS clients
* A LOT of performance optimizations
* 0.8g _should_ work on TO 3.40 (needs to be tested!)

*** INSTALLATION ***

Basic installation instructions can be found in the INSTALL.txt document which is included in the ACE package.

*** CONFIGURATION ***

On most servers, ACE will run absolutely fine with default settings, even if you run a lot of custom mods. If you do run into problems or if you're simply interested, you can consult the full documentation at the following site:

*** KNOWN ISSUES ***

* Supported operating systems: Windows 9x is unsupported. Transgaming's engine for Mac OS doesn't seem to work either. The native Mac OS clients do work. Support for transgaming's engine is not an option at the moment because I do not have access to a native Mac OS installation.

* Glitches and mouse issues: In rare cases players may experience input issues. This can be solved by using the "mutate ace highperftoggle" command.

* Framerate issues: Players using older hardware may notice that their framerate is capped below their frameratelimit. Although this often has no visible consequences, these people can use either the "mutate ace highperftoggle" or "mutate ace compattoggle" commands to fix the problem.
