ok i downloaded the alien arena 2008 v.7
it runs fine with no problems

i would like to add it to the main menu

i have found the original alien arena data in usr/share/games/alien-arena

im trying to replace the old package with the new one i downloaded

problem: the file structure is way diffrent, so im hesitating to just delete and copy & paste

considering that the run command is just diffrent enought to screw up everything (the boot progam) is crx & crx.sdl & crxed

how to i make the the main menu icon boot these files and display the icon (aa.png & aa1.ico)

well if this works i have just found a way to make many linux gamers happy and updated

if this works the same procedure can be applied to warsow (apparently this is an issue for this game too)
im not sure why the software mall (add/remove) dose'nt have the updates but this would be an easy fix

http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php/guides:64bit:alien_arena should give you an idea.
It's recommended that you un-install the previous version of Alien Arena first if you installed it with a .deb or synaptic.
