-  The ET Legacy project ships its own replacement etmain/ assets (configs,
-  presets, locale files) directly in the source tree, plus a Legacy mod
-  pk3 downloaded on first run. The user still has to supply the retail

+  and installs it with the engine (cmake/ETLBuildMod.cmake:301-316). The

+  (src/sys/sys_main.c:954-966). The user still has to supply the retail
   pak0.pk3 from the free Enemy Territory 2.60b download. pak0.pk3 holds
   every id map, model, texture and sound.
