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].

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

Please update the SUMLauncher before updating Overgrowth!

For new users

• If you have not installed Overgrowth yet you can use the SUMLauncher to do so!
• If you already have Overgrowth installed you can use the SUMLauncher to update it to the latest alpha.
• The SUMLauncher also allows you to install the Menu Mod which gives you another 150+ maps to try.

For Existing SUMLauncher users

• If the menu files were changed in this alpha, the menu mod will no longer work. Updating the Menu Mod (to re-enable custom maps) might take us a little while. Once we have uploaded a new version you can use the menu mod installer to update it. (And don't worry, it won't break anything if you try running the installer before we upload the new files.)
• It may also take us a bit to update the Menu Mod to include any new maps that this alpha may have added.

For future updates keep an eye on our twitter @SUMOGUtilities!

If you have the bandwidth, would you mind installed it via the full download link and see if it's a problem in the diff update files?

[SteelRaven7]

Everything works fine for me after updating via the SUM-launcher. Really nice new patch, thanks Wolfire!

[Saedz]

everything works here too but i have to reinstall overgrowth anyways to remove the flying mod : P

Is that path correct? If so, please try opening the SUMLauncher, opening the File menu, and selecting "Re-Update Current Alpha". If there was any issue in the download process (file corruption, etc.), giving it another try could fix the issue. Please PM me or message me on the IRC.

In the normal+detail shader you mentioned, are the detail textures paired with detail normals? That would be rugged.

{edit} Actually, either way, can you share a screenshot of it?

[SteelRaven7]

Hmm, it seems like the Awesomium text fields aren't working as they should. They aren't accepting any input at all.

EDIT: For some reason the input works while I'm moving the mouse, seems like there's some problem with the JS events.

EDIT2: Angelscript recompiling doesn't work either, neither when I save the edited file with Overgrowth running or when I restart Overgrowth.

Getting the issue with MSVCP110.dll still. (I had the issue with the pre-a195 build)

Getting the issue with MSVCP110.dll still. (I had the issue with the pre-a195 build)

Download the .dll file on the Pre.195 Thread and put them in the Overgrowth Folder

[Jaz]

Yeah, I just got the dll from the pre-a195 thread and it works fine.

Will the issue be fixed in the next build?

[Brainz80]

Nice work! Seems to run a whole lot smoother. One funny thing though - which I noticed while goofing around: you can cut open somebody's throat with a spear (which is kind'a silly)

[Jaz]

Why is that silly, Brainz?

Well-made spears are sharp enough to cut open throats. (Anything sharp could do so though so I suppose well-made is only a counter term against rusty spears)
