Unofficial alpha 74, weekly build

[Jeff]

The unofficial, alpha 74 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: slow original fast US mirror 1 fast EU mirror 1 fast EU mirror 2
Mac: slow original fast US mirror 1 fast EU mirror 1 fast EU mirror 2

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 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 are Wine compatible.

Hi there, a short update on my crashing-on-startup problem:
a74 again crashed when trying to run it:

Code: Select all

But it could quite easily be fixed by deleting ~/Application Support/Lugaru 2 and now it's working as expected. ( tekn04) Just in case anyone experiences a similar problem.

Best Regards

It's not just me, but the installer takes quite a while given the small size of everything.

Makes me long for .zips again .

Awesomium isn't being very awesome. Maybe they need to rename their software.

[Jeff]

Thanks for the tip Michael, that should help solve the problem!

[PurePareidolia]

the Desert level continues to not work for me, but otherwise the movement is really shaping up, good work guys!

I noticed that even when robbert is behind a rock, or a hill -that is, he's not in direct line with the sun- his shadow/lighting setup is still the same as when he is in direct sunlight.

Bleh, the installer is convinced I have an alpha installed (73, to be exact). I first deleted the alpha folder in both of its locations (I put it in two places), and then, since that didn't work, I uninstalled with the Control Panel, and it's still says I have an old alpha. What else do I have to get rid of?

[Freshbite]

Imagamer, you could try to install the previous version again, then uninstall it and install the new one.

Lovely, it worked.

[Freshbite]

Holy fu- ...

That was a wild guess.
Glad it worked, though.
