It took me all day to figure out the problem. Player's lives weren't being given by default and had to be added....all due to a typo. The download is available at http://www.moddb.com/mods/meta-genesis/downloads/meta-genesis-alpha01b

Release is up, Server is acting funny. Can't join teams in dedicated server, will fix this evening after work.

Too late to upload tonight, testing server compatibility and addind download for tomorrow.

As I said, main rig is down and I have no access to my code base to package it up. Will update asap!

I'm not trying to lose the tiny bit of interest I've got going, so I'm dropping a few things from the schedule for this next release. Plenty of bug fixes and additions to make it worth while for the download. In the mean time, the dedicated server will remain up and I'll be around in the evenings.
