: If that's the case, then maybe someone should upload it in different forms.
: Like, a package with just the data files (hires textures?) ready to be
: combined with AO, and one with just the files needed to install Trojan.

Very possible, but you'd still need a PC or VPC to install Trojan.

: You could include Infinity-compatible versions of the Shapes and Physics, so
: people can run Infinity maps such as Coriolis Loop without trouble. Also
: possibly the Infinity demo; not sure how that works.

Also doable, but you'd still be using the M2 high-res textures. What AO desperatly needs is a means of switching among script files without physically moving them in and out of the scripts folder. And while we're at it, wouldn't it be nice to be able to use scripts to selct the shapes, sounds and physics files that go with each map. Imagine having a pop-up right on the initial screen where you could simply select the scenario you want to play. Behind the scenes, you would be selecting among a group of top-level script files that would take care of the rest.
