A "leaked build" is when John and I grab the latest SVN build and package it up for you guys. It has a ton of known bugs, so don't worry if it doesn't work for you. It is not condoned by David and Aubrey but we want to keep you guys in the loop and give you stuff to play with regularly!

If you find any bugs, please email a full description along with your system specs to [email protected]. We are testing out a new bug system.

*NOTE* Please remember that these are unofficial alphas and they do not represent a finished product. They are not even polished builds, just straight up raw development dumps not intended for public consumption.

For new users - you can use the SUMLauncher to update to the newest alpha build with a single click!

It also allows you to install the Menu Mod which gives you another 60+ maps to try.

Note: it will always take us a day or so to update the Menu Mod to include the new content that was added in this alpha. Please keep an eye on our twitter @SUMOGUtilities for an official update.

Semi-inevitable question, given the long-grass shot: do detail objects interact with AI line-of-sight checks, and such?

I updated with the SUMLauncher and I'm not seeing that one map in the video showing up in my maps list.

David didn't modify the actual main menu, but Anton is currently adding it to his main menu mod, along with some necessary files that are missing.

Yep, the new items are generally not added to the UI until later when the devs have time.

If you want to use them you'll have to load them manually by choosing 'load item' in the editor, then clicking the small folder icon and then navigating to Data/Items/ and choosing what you want (for example the rat weapons are in the 'rat_weapons' folder there)

The same is true for new maps. They will be added to the main menu mod but that can take some time. New maps will generally be somewhere in Data/Levels, try loading them manually, or just wait a few days for the menu mod to be updated.

Or use last's awesome O2 tab mod, which will hopefully be updated soon.

What is the new flat level called? I can't seem to find it in the Overgrowth directory to load it...

[exone]

New preorder-er here. And I just realized this is why I have a seedbox.

[Sl33pyt1m3]

I load the weapons but they appear transparent and I can't interact with them

[Korb Biakustra]

What kind of wizzardry is that?

I am also curious of this. Hiding behind a large boulder would seem like a given to me, but sneaking around in tall and thick grass should be fun. I'll just have to find a way to hold my damn rabbit ears down.

I've got an Issue here,

When I load a level, Turner automatically runs, and the camera moves, without me doing anything, I've had this bug with the previous release, but I thought I'd wait an alpha before posting.

I've skipped a few alpha's since the last one (±10 I guess), so I don't know how old this issue is. (and maybe something with the local files?).

I'm using an MacBook Pro (late 2011) and running 10.7.3

Hopefully this is enough information, please don't let this rabbit down
