All the stuff that can be downloaded in AUM8 is zipped here; make sure that you copy all the folders inside your Game Studio folder. Don't forget to "include" the files that need to be included in your main file.
 
I'm George Pirvu and I am in charge with the Acknex User Magazine. My email address is george@acknex.net; feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
 
P.S: I use textures from standard.wad for all my demos in all the AUM editions. If you can't find a texture (because I didn't include the wad) simply add standard.wad to your project.
P.P.S: I use Wed5 (A5's new level editor) and A5.12 for all the stuff in AUM. If you want to load my levels / run my examples make sure that you are using Wed5 and A5.12 or better.
