How to use patch 2.2.3??

[morfar]

I have experience in making an installer (NSIS). But I too thinks this is useless for Nexuiz. ZIP files is so freaking easy to handle.

But there seems to be a lot of people asking for an Nexuiz installer during the years. So maybe it should be done in the future?

I also experienced problems with the patch.
When I wanted to extracted it to the folder I had warnings about problems to create files. So I thought something went wrong and I downloaded the full pack and extracted it. And surprise the same errors. This bandwidth could have been saved.
The problem was with some symbolic link folders I think. Maybe I choose the wrong options to extract it.
Anyway it is running fine. And shows the right version. And yes I use Linux.
Maybe this can be deterrent to unexperienced users. Just a thought.

danfPeter: which zip program are you using? I only used used unzip on the shell so far, which works without problems... If there are zip programs that don't work for patching, it would be good to know which ones, so we could add a warning or something to the FAQ. (perhaps you could post a screenshot of the message?)

I used unzip in the terminal. And for testing (reproduction) purpose I tried some different versions in combination with the patch, but couldn't reproduce the error. I also tried it with file roller (gnome) but everything works fine.
Sorry must be my mistake, seems like I started to flap. Maybe I should stop smoking crack.
