There is a couple of things we are going to do:
  • after import, ability to export the model package as a single file with a custom extension
  • when you press enter on that file in Windows, outerra.exe will automatically install it as a package
  • a web browser window can be open in Outerra, pointed to a model warehouse, allowing to browse models and download them directly - in that case they would install inside the program immediately


I guess it should be also possible to tie it to one of those shared drive services, with an automatic upload.

Cool! I love these features...I wonder how should the new file extension be called.
Like .out or .utr!

Sounds great. Only one request -

At the moment Outerra runs perfectly as standalone app.
Would be great if it could be kept this way.

Extensions is not a massive tie down to OS, but still hope Outerra always stays portable.

Whats the problem with extensions then? They just make it easier and faster to use.
A menu entry should be made inside Outerra`s menu: Import Content or something like that.
Then the user can select wheatheer to open a file from his PC or download on from the online database you mentioned earlier.

No problems with extensions particularly, but a feature request in general.

I agree then. Any new features, like the current ones, should work in any operative system.

What do you think about submarines in Outerra?

Love it! Looks very cool. It would be a nice addition for Anteworld. If you had the interior done too so you could walk inside o_o man would that be awesome!
