[Setting Up A Home Network]

Assuming all the pc's are running windows, just enable ICS (internet connection sharing) on the PC the internet is on currently and then run the "Home networking wizard" on any machine you want to share access with. Choose "this pc connects through another computer on my network" and all should be fine.

Good luck

[What 0S Do You Run?]

OS X is a Linux kernel!?!

OS X's kernel (Darwin) is a variant of BSD. I have Mac OS X on my laptop and plan to ensure the engine builds on it before release (its just an issue of finding time to do so) I don't foresee any great problems with doing this tho.

Regarding the FBSD port, I wish you luck, I run FreeBSD on one of my server boxes and don't really consider it suitable for my desktop due to hardware support. FreeBSD is excellent as a server platform but I find it lagging behind Linux in the hardware support stakes

[In-game Taunts]

Will you be using mp3 format for Taunts?

We are using .ogg (Ogg Vorbis) files for the sound effects at the moment and I don't see that changing. If I remember there was some licensing issues with the mp3 format.

[Elephants and flaming pigs]

Even though this might have happened (allegedly) it would probably generate a lot of bad press from animal rights blokies who don't understand that its not real.

[Whats The Most Important Part Of An Editor]

I reckon usability should be considered over flashy extra's. If you get a good user experience then imho its a better editor than one that is hard to use but lets you do some flashy stuff.

Hi,

I use Windows XP as my development/gaming platform mostly and run FreeBSD on my server (a toy )

Cheers
