BTW, I didn't know about that IO Quake...
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
IO Quake is a 'weird' open source one. The engine is Open Source BUT you will need an original Quake 3 Arena CD for one file and you also need the original serial. These are not included in the IOQuake Download...
I saw it... I visited the website, but don't like it, too confuse...
I also tried Race into Space... what an ugly game...
Question: in Glest Portable, should my Glest folder be named just Glest or Glest 3.1.2?

Normally the folder in App is the appname without capitals. In this case \App\glest
The complete location should be: PortableApps\GlestPortable\App\glest\
The glest folder is already there. Copy the files out of the glest installation folder into the glest folder. ( see help.html )
The question was because the installed program at program files is glest 3.2.1...
I twas just for curiosity.

and all my settings are lost...
In the case of UFOAI, there are now two folders at data... settings and ufoai, the last one have also two folders ufoai 1.0.something and the other one is ufoai 2.2... the settings folder have one called ufoai 2.2... I suppose my old settings are there... should I copy it into the new one to restore them or am wrong?

Hmm. seems the old launcher has taken the 1.0.something settings to the drive also?
This is essentially the result of the old launcher not taking an existing installation in account.
Also, one important change is that the older version did copy the settings folder (2.2) into the root of Data\, the new one to Data\Settings\. This was a result of talking if it was allowed to put a folder directly into Data\ or that it MUST be in Data\Settings\.
If you ever have installed 1.0.something in the past it would have been copied also to the USB. This has now been fixed.
To get your settings working again copy contents of Data\UFOAI\2.2\ to Data\Settings\UFOAI\2.2\ and then your data for 2.2 should be restored (for the Portable version)
The Data\UFOAI\1.0.something\ was left from an earlier locally installed version of the application. If you haven't got version 1.0.1 installed anymore you can remove the Data\UFOAI after you copied the Data\UFOAI\2.2\ to Data\Settings\UFOAI\2.2\
If you still have a locally installed version of the game, you might also copy the Data\UFOAI\ folder back to C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\UFOAI\
The current launcher will make sure the settings of an existing version will be protected in the future.
I hope this helps.
Sorry for the inconvenience..
copying from ufoai \ 2.2 to the settings folder but it didn´t worked... I can see a save folder with my saved games, but I can´t see them in the game...
EDIT: Nop... tried again... it even ask my name and language again...
EDIT 2: Now I have this...
data\
-----\Settings\
---------------\2.2\
------\ufoai\
-------------\2.2\
--------------\2.1\
I deleted 2.1, and now my structure changed like this...
data\
-----\Settings\
---------------\2.2\
----------------\ufoai\
-----------------------\2.2\
What's happening?
EDIT 3: ok, I copied my old data into data\Settings\ufoai\2.2\ and it was fixed, I recovered it everything...
EDIT 4: Thank you!

Description:
Urban Terror can best be described as a Hollywood tactical shooter; it is realism based to a certain extent (environments/weapons/player models), but also goes by the motto "fun over realism" (fast gameplay and lots of action). This combination of reality and action results in a very unique, enjoyable and addictive game.

Tremulous Portable
Description:
Tremulous is a free, open source game that blends a team based FPS with elements of an RTS. Players can choose from 2 unique races, aliens and humans. Players on both teams are able to build working structures in-game like an RTS. These structures provide many functions, the most important being spawning. The designated builders must ensure there are spawn structures or other players will not be able to rejoin the game after death. Other structures provide automated base defense (to some degree), healing functions and much more...
Player advancement is different depending on which team you are on. As a human, players are rewarded with credits for each alien kill. These credits may be used to purchase new weapons and upgrades from the "Armoury". The alien team advances quite differently. Upon killing a human foe, the alien is able to evolve into a new class. The more kills gained the more powerful the classes available.
The overall objective behind Tremulous is to eliminate the opposing team. This is achieved by not only killing the opposing players but also removing their ability to respawn by destroying their spawn structures.
