Unofficial alpha 93, weekly build

[Jeff]

The unofficial, alpha 93 leaked build is here!

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! 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 links (please use the mirrors!)

Win (exe): slow original fast US mirror 1 fast EU mirror 1

Mac: slow original fast US mirror 1 fast EU mirror 1

Extra data: fast US mirror 1 (merge this with your alpha data)

Please use the speedy mirrors, they are graciously provided by Mow of FoCo Gaming and should provide much faster download speeds. They will also save us a lot of money.

Breaking news! We now have a set of US mirrors graciously provided by Woet of FFS Network. Please let me know how it works for you!

We are testing a new Windows installer, which should help with the side-by-side configuration errors. Please remember to uninstall the old version first and let us know how it works!

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. In the meantime, we may be Wine compatible.

when I start it on my laptop(win 7 64 bit) it crashes and says "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you`re running. Check your computer`s system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher." older alphas worked on my home computer (win 7 64 bit) so Im wondering if its an update or if its my laptop. I have an ati mobility radeon hd 5650. if thats the problem that sucks and so does the error message.

Confirmed, I get this as well when I try to start OG. Win7 64 bit.

Interesting, apparently last weeks worked in Windows 7 x64, so I'll try to track down what broke it

[adwuga]

it doesnt work on my desktop either. and that graphics card on my laptop works, tested it with older alphas

I'm getting the same issue worked on last alpha going to mess around with a few things to see if i can find the source of the issue

[shadow10051]

K i did some research and the only time this error should appear is if the app is 16 bit because Windows 7 can emulate a 32-Bit environment it may say Vista but the same system applies in 7http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756962.aspx

I have tried repackaging it -- please let me know if this one works better on Windows (updated links above, EU mirror should be done in a few minutes)

[Silverfish]

Seems to work with the repack Jeff!

I seem to have run into a little problem

as you can see the camera has gone thermal, Robbert seems to have gone on an unnecessary diet (It's worse when he jumps) and his shadow shows the most ungodly Frankenstein of rabbity demons stuck with in his odd body (its got a copy effect so every shadow he makes is stuck and it means every position he is in makes a new shadow including ragdoll)

Alpha 93! Gosh!! Still going strong. this is awesome!

I'm experiencing a few problems with this alpha. First of all, it seems to randomly freeze up and close down. I don't think this is a problem with my computer, because it is very new and very high end. Also, sometimes when I try to save an Item or a map I get the error message "trouble exporting .png file" and the alpha freezes up. After this is becomes impossible for me to open the map I was working on.

And one last problem, on the maps "desert outpost" and "forgotten plains" The sky is filled with two giant black boxes on either side.

Do you even want that fixed?

[Freshbite]

That is a surprisingly amazing bug. I want that as a mod.
