The original version is already included in the legacy-loaders.jar (downloadable on xith.org). Well we could separate it into an own jar. But it is very important, that all loaders are usable the same way. I tried to separate the actual loader from the “internal-represenation”->“xith-representation” part, which should be in any load and available from a loaders project on sourceforge. If the actual loaders (without any dependancies to any scenegraph) would be available though a public project, then no project would be forced to reimplement all loaders completely (just the conversion part). But unfortunately it was hard enough to get croft’s loader to what it is now. These two parts are highly linked.
Indeed. Pure internal messages (without release-info) are for the new board ;D.
