Hi all.

We wish to take this opportunity to start the discussion on perhaps moving the players of 25Assist to the newer version of 2.8.5

For a while I've been able to decrypt 2.8.5 packages, but unable to compile new uscripts that would be needed to move to 2.8.5.

That last hinder to that is now gone, and I’m able to create the components that is needed to bring Auth, and as an extension to that 25Assist to 2.8.5

I see a model that would dictate this timeline:

Phase 1, 285Assist Developing
Phase 2, 285Assist Beta Testing
Phase 3, 285Assist going online and at the same time 25Assist Auth would be shut down.

The dual action of Phase 3, is that the player base is too small to be split into 2 versions, and therefore, IF we make the move, it will be completely

The model above is mine alone, and should only be viewed as a suggestion at this time. But before a moving on, we wish to hear what you, the player’s think of this

I'm just going to ask a question many have asked before when there's talk of this:
What about Linux and/or Mac users? Could they still play?
I know there's not a whole lot of them, but I understand that's the reason 2.5 still existed next to 2.8.5 back when AA2 was popular, so it would be logical to include them if possible.

Wood be nice , is it that we also can import coop maps.

I will share them all if you want.

Yea, there's still mods in 2.8 but I think it requires more work to install them... I don't know, maybe I'm totally wrong here.

would love to see it 2.85, keep up the hard work eliz

AA 2.8.5 was the best free game i ever played, and in my opinion just the coop maps make it more than worth it.

hey ELiZ

thank you very much for doing a great job. nice!
please do not forget:
- there a so many other games out there, almost the same like aa2
- so therefore aa2xx should be someting special - even more then it is already
- with that mindset it should be playable also on other operating systems, not only windows (i am a windows freak, but..)
- and it should be, as much as possible, free of cheater
- also do not forget to keep the possibility to create home servers like it is now. a real great goal of this version now.
this all would be perfect. so if i may say, please try first at all to stop the cheaters. because cheaters are killing every game. if you could do so, this game would "explode" by players.

thank you!

I honestly prefer 285 over 2.5, I actually still have it on my external HDD, and it feels more fluent in the gameplay for me.
