OTA Based Mods Will NOT Work with a Fresh Install of the GPL:

If you make a fresh install of an the GPL Build, you cannot play OTA based mods properly without acquiring the OTA content files. This may seem extremely obvious, but trepan and I spent a good deal of time tracking this issue down for one of my clanmates. Sypmtoms are no mouse cursors and no textures on the units.

right when i click start(i'm hosting) it starts loading, then quits. an error box says:" button9.wav couldn't open wav file" another says "sound error couldnt create sound buffer"

This is another symptom that some people get.

Yes, Rattle reported this on the XTA v8.1 Release thread.

I have uploaded a zip with the necessary files here:

• [8.1MB] Base-OTA-Content.zip

We also created an installer, which gives an option to install them (besides XTA v8.1):

• [14MB] XTA v8.1 Windows Installer (Base-OTA-Content)

Just a suggestion:

I just posted a message about this problem, because I missed this sticky.. Maybe its an idea to chnage the topic title to include symptoms? It would make it alot easier to find it

Also, for anybody wanting to install these files, but not knowing where, the zip file (from the post above) contains 3 .sdz files which must be copied to the base directory of your spring installation.
