Unofficial, alpha 54 weekly build

[Jeff]

The unofficial, alpha 54 leaked build is 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 and Aubrey but we want to keep you guys in the loop and give you stuff to play with regularly! Please report bugs in our Trac 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.

New in this version: (see blog)

To download the alpha, use one of these two links:

Note! No PPC, 10.4 Tiger, or Linux support at the moment -- we are waiting on Awesomium for these. AJS says that Linux support is on the horizon, but we cannot make any concrete estimates for it.

Not necessarily. I get an 'Invalid Operation' error on line 1007 of textures.cpp, but I have the feeling that it's more of a problem with my PC than it is with the alpha. Something about being unable to find a resource to bind 'world_light'.

I am going to see if I can't figure out a solution or if a solution hasn't already been found.

Do the keyboard modifiers work for object transformations now? Because that's been broken for me recently

Is there a concrete list of what keys do what in the editor? Specifically the rigging editor, if that's available, I haven't used the Alpha's in a while.

These bugs have been haunting me for a while, so I decided I'd finally get around to posting them...

• Cannot open any added maps other than the three menu presets and most of the ones that came with the alpha.

• Pressing CMD generally ends up in a crash of the game.

• The tree and plant assets are pretty messed up...


• When sizing, moving, or rotating an object, it actually does nothing to the original object, instead it just makes an invisible version of it...


• Ragdolls are awesome and pretty smooth too, however, it is very possible for them to become incredibly...deformed...



• I also get this error message when spawning ragdolls...

not having the rag doll issues atm, but not tested them. I am however having the issue with the resizing (I'm on Vista 32 bit)
