Unofficial Overgrowth a198 build

[TheMonolith]

I'm experiencing a bug. Everytime I win or lose in arena mode, then try to proceed to the next level, the game crashes. I did edit the arena map, but it was working yesterday. Now, after changing nothing else, it crashes. Any help?

I have no idea how to fix this, but it fixes itself after a while from now.

I can't lauch Overgrowth at all. Using Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. When I find it in the dash, clicking on it does nothing. Doesn't even close the dash. When I try to launch OG from SUMLauncher, it just closes. Tried to lauch it in the terminal and got this

Code: Select all

'/usr/local/games/Overgrowth/Overgrowth.bin.x86_64' 
/usr/local/games/Overgrowth/Overgrowth.bin.x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libfreeimage.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Anyone know a fix?

Thanks. It launches now. Still not playable but it's progress.

There seems to be some files missing: I can't load the Impressive Mountains (plain) any more: it keeps complaining about missing files.

Can you be specific about which files are missing? I can get you what you need. (Also, SUMLauncher now has some "fixes" that just take care of these kinds of problems)

Odd, Overgrowth did not complain when I loaded the Impressive Mountains straight from the get-go. It also complained about the files when I tried to load Impressive Mountains Crete after closing another map and trying to load it. IIRC, the old map did have snow in it.

Specifically, it says that it failed to buffer data, then it lists the file.

Oh, buffering data is not the same as a missing file. I find that happens to me sometimes if I switch maps too often without restarting the game. (Or just on some maps in general...)

[RogueGamer]

Is anyone else experiencing this problem where the player and/or AI all freeze until you ragdoll everyone with one of the debugging keys? It's quite irritating and seems to happen when there are a lot of controls being pressed at once or in rapid sequence (but that's just the nature of the game anyway; might not be linked at all).

It's a freshly downloaded alpha, no modification. Only thing I've done is reconfigure Crouch to left control.

There are an enormous amount of files that say they can't be opened for writing, and when I do it in SUMLauncher it gives me an access denied message. It wastes all my time downloading it, and then can't open properly.When I redownloaded the current alpha (189) it said it had an error downloading the zipped file or something along those lines. It seems as though there is always one 'bad' file. As such I can't go past 189, which is full of glitches and bugs that don't seem to be affecting anyone else. What am I doing wrong? If you need more info to solve the problem, just ask. I love the game and I'd like to try the new alpha. (I'm updating from 189)

Are you updating using SUMLauncher? And if so, are you opening the .exe file? If you try to run it using the .jar you could be getting these kinds of errors.

I don't know a ton about computers, so bear with me. I first tried it using the SUMLauncher. Then I tried it right from the site, where it says try the new alpha. When that was downloading, it had .exe next to it. Afterwords, it gave me a seemingly infinite amount of files it wasn't able to open properly.
If it helps, the exact first error message when I do it from the SUMLauncher is
Error extracting zip file.

This is simply a permissions issue - like Anton said, when you run SUMLauncher, make sure you are running the SUMLauncher.exe file. SUMLauncher should display a popup when you run it asking for administrative permissions.

Well, I found the .jar and the .exe. There are errors in both, but more errors on the .jar. For some reason the .exe file is giving me a hard time... Sorry, I'm trying to be as descriptive as I can. Oh, and there is no administrative permissions popup.
