I agree that the ACG announcer shouldn't be the default one, but actually there is no mechanism to declare any announcer as default announcer. Zandronum just uses the first parsed announcer as default.

As a workaround, we could merge ZanACG.pk3 and ZanGeneric.pk3 into a single file and define the generic announcer in the ANCRINFO lump before the ACG one. Is there any volunteer to do this?

Actually, as I explained in 0001119, there is a mechanism to set the default manually. Just call the announcer "Default".

How are the announcers versioned? They don't seem to be in the repository. And as blzut mentioned the fix is as simple as changing the name of the announcer to Default. I'd suppose this shouldn't be a very difficult fix? :?

I would create a duplicate announcer in ANCRINFO named default instead of changing the name. The reason being is I would encourage mod authors, which want to include a special announcer in their mod, to override the default (so users use the mod's announcer unless they explicitly select the normal announcer). Still not a difficult fix either way.

Good idea. Let's do this.

The announcer as-is in the current version needs at least one alternate announcer loaded, but there's another announcer that is analogous to the first one that's loaded. Zandro's default one assumes the job of the loaded announcer, while the external announcer serves nonetheless as a duplicate.

With the new repository for the resources established. I've created the duplicate default announcer.

I tested this by extracting the Zandronum 130512 core into a new directory, getting the announcers from'https://bitbucket.org/Torr_Samaho/zandronum-installer-resources [^]' and the default announcer was correct, so that worked.
