At the moment of downloading the base files, it stays in "Feching list of mirrors" and it gives me an error.

Maybe the server was down for a moment. I just checked it and it works fine. So try again.

I'm having the same error :( I have the old Swarm Assault installed. There is a way to use this installation files to avoid the download?

Sure thing! I need to update the project, so the retail files could be detected as well.

Anyway, there should be "Content" folder in User(You)/Documents/OpenRA. If doesn't exist, create one.

Now, inside "Content" folder, create "sa" folder. Then inside this folder create two folders: "Sounds" and "Sprites".

In "Sounds" put: Game.SDF, Start.SDF

In "Sprites" put: Game.ANI, Game.DFF, Game.MIN, Start.ANI, Start.DDF, Start.MIN.

These files can be found in Swarm Assault's "Game" and "Start" folders.

Please tell me if it works!

Thanks for this quick response!

I copyed manually the files to its place like you said (following what is defined at "mods/sa/installer/downloads.yaml") and changed from "true" to "false" at "mods/sa/mod.yalm:274".

Compile succesful! And its working!

Thanks! Cheers from Brazil!

EDIT: ohhh, I followed the steps I described before reading your message... I made it work in a "ugly" way. Sorry. But it worked :D Thank you again

Compiling? Are you using the master branch from github? If yes, then enjoy 100 missions (I still wanna do some things before I release another version with all missions).

Enjoy!

I am also getting that same error during "Install Content" where it tried to fetch the data but it "Cannot connect to remote server". I do not have OG swarm assault installed. This is also my first download on this site so I may be doing something wrong ><. All I did was unzip the download to a folder on desktop and ran the installer.

The server might be down again. Try later again. The next version will have 2 additional mirrors so this problem should be gone.
