Unofficial, alpha 42 weekly build

[Jeff]

The unofficial, alpha 42 leaked build is (about to be) here!

A "leaked build" is when John and I literally 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, Phillip, and Aubrey, but we want to keep you guys in the loop and give you stuff to play with regularly! Please report bugs in Trac! http://trac.wolfire.net/spf/overgrowth

*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.

New in this version: (see blog)

Also, press F to toggle wireframe stuff. Press 8 and 9 to toggle the Rabbot. Press ` for the console. Type Console.help() for the console commands. Press b to spawn a physics box, right click to drag it around. Press r to spawn a ragdoll and F1 for WebKitten.

We are testing out BitTorrent DNA! Please let me know how that goes.
Windows: (direct) (torrent) (BitTorrent DNA)
Mac OS X: (direct) (torrent) (BitTorrent DNA)

Note! No PPC, 10.4 Tiger, or Linux support at the moment -- we are waiting on Google Chrome for these. We are not sure when this will happen. Linux support is on the horizon though!

Nope, I'm in Seattle right now, where my upload speed is literally 1 megabyte (not megabit) per second.

I don't think there is a way to access that outside of the source right now unfortunately.

Yeah, go to "data>textures>skies" and duplicate these three files...

stormy1.tga_cube.dds
stormy1.tga_cube_spec.dds
stormy1.tga_cube_diffuse.dds

Change your duplicates to...

stormy1.tga_dogtomb_cube.dds
stormy1.tga_dogtomb_cube_spec.dds
stormy1.tga_dogtomb_cube_diffuse.dds

This shall fix your sky.

I don't think psd is open format, so I doubt it. My quess is it puts diffuse (colors unaffected by light), light, shadows, postpro effects etc to different image files; or perhaps terrain, objects and characters to separate image files. Similar to render layers of 3D editing software, if you know about those.
