C'mon, that's a no-brainer.
Well, its a practical problem that some people are facing and that applies to a whole bunch of free software. Its not necesarry the unwillingness of the author, might also be that the images simply got lost over time, that textures or other stuff got used that isn't allowed to be distributed seperatly or whatever. Things that are in Debian that are affected by this issue would be netpanzer, Pingus, Freecraft FCMP, BOS and that might be just the start, so far I havn't seen much 3d models being distributed with sourcecode, so I guess quite a lot of games should be affected. -- WWW: http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/ JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 59461927
