I guess this post is mainly for Simeon but I just wanted to ask if you had ever looked at making the server component portable? I can't remember what the last decision was about it, but I think you were just going to leave it, since we had sort of concluded it wasn't necessary. However, I've since realized that one key reason to make the server component portable is that you need it for LAN games.
I tried running ac_server.exe yesterday but ran into to some path difficulties. I'm guessing that AC uses environment variables or something like that so it can't find stuff it needs to get a server up and running (like paths to maps for example).
Anyway, AC works fine, I just reconsidered and have decided that having the server portabilized would be useful, assuming it's possible.
Thoughts?

I had a look at it but havent done anything release-worthy.
Someone did a package here but I haven't had the time to inspect it. I dont have much time to invest in portable stuff now and in the coming months so I'd need a rainy weekend day and a little spare time...
Conclusion: I figured it cant be too hard to do it but it may take a while. If you want to try it, feel free to do it. Maybe we could keep the discussion here in this thread from now on...?
