Yay

I finished the GDC arena structure, but I wasn't sure on colours for the inner parts, so that needs to be replaced ^_^

Glad to hear it's been identified

I ended up with problems again after upgrading to 188

It seems that I'm getting segfaults again when launching levels too.

Not sure if this will be helpful to other Linux users, but I was getting a segfault when starting levels. I was able to work around this by renaming ~/.local/share/Overgrowth

I guess there was something in the old cache that the new version of Overgrowth didn't like?

I feel bad. 99% of the textures in my textures folder are DDS's. Every texture Overgrowth asks for is a .TGA. I dun wanna convert every single texture in the game one by one, is there a way around this? D: Read the post immediately before yours. It fixes the problem. Out of interest, is there a fix...

Happy belated birthday, Silverfish. Sadly I wasn't able to be involved with this. I hope you enjoyed it though

I'll take a look and see if I can get it running under Wine when I'm done with touching up our 7DFPS game

Awesome work guys <3

Thanks :) Neither are meant to be particularly difficult - just explorations of gameplay and the new editor. Tedium, however, was quite brilliant, ...

Oops. I'd sort of been avoiding this thread until I had time to check out some other people's maps and update my own, but since I haven't, I figured I should respond to Freshbite's feedback <3 I've published three maps so far. Jump Test (this was my first map. Some of the jump trajectories are too c...

Yay, more maps to check out :D I've published three maps so far. Jump Test (this was my first map. Some of the jump trajectories are too close to the ceiling here at the moment - you're not meant to be able to die until you're on the light bridge) Timing (this is the one I'm most happy with) Tedium ...
