Re: I need help how to unzip the download file to open & pla

Okay. You download unvanquished_0.36.0.zip and unzip it. In there are a few files (win32.zip, win64.zip, ...) and a subfolder called 'pkg'. Move all that into a folder called Unvanquished (or wherever you want them). Then unzip the win64.zip. Now youc "Unvanquished" folder should contain a...

Target selection of Swarms

When a hive finds a valid target (= a human in range), it launches a swarm to attack that target. The think() function of the swarm, however, completely ignores its current target and just makes the closest human the new target. That happens every 0.5 seconds. I see a few problems with that: Whateve...
