P.S.
Yesterday, I tried to discuss the issue of which programs should be installed on the computers with Yura via ICQ, and his attitude toward it did not please me at all. Yuri's approach—"we'll arrive and figure it out on the spot"—is fundamentally unacceptable to me, because the St. Petersburg group arrives later, and previous events show that installing and configuring programs on the fly wastes a couple of hours taken away from the tournament. Eric might lack experience in configuring VT, but he can install SoD without any problems. In a pinch, VT is installed by simply copying the directory and dropping in the dat-file with tournament settings, which can be sent via email. If something doesn't work, asm and Mee should already be arriving by morning. But it's necessary that the VT distribution is already on hand rather than being downloaded (especially since, as I recall, the server's distribution speed isn't the fastest).
So, here is the list of programs that don't necessarily have to be installed, but whose distributions must be on hand on the morning of 30.04.2011 (if anything is extra or if I forgot something, I ask the others to correct me):
VT with a ready-made dat-file of settings for the tournament;
SoD with an exe that runs without a CD;
TE-lite (Kyiv version, but without the DD restriction);
HD-mod (regardless of whether anyone wants to play on it or not) must be installed on at least 1 computer to fix "greying out" bugs;
Lighter, autosaver, animation accelerator for SoD;
Chaos patch.
According to the messages, Asm arrives on the 29th after lunch. Roland is also arriving from Minsk. That evening on the 29th is when we will install all the necessary programs.
P.S. In principle, all of this is downloadable, but if anyone has it on a flash drive—please bring it along just in case.
It's a pity I won't be able to drink myself
Well... we'll see about that. :)
