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!

*NEW* If you find any bugs, please email a full description along with your system specs to [email protected]. We are testing out a new bug 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.

To download the alpha, use one of these links (please use the mirrors!)

Note! No 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 working with the creator of Berkelium to switch to that, which has a Linux build, so we will no longer be dependent on Awesomium.

My config file didn't change at all
Adding the lines didn't work too

[MaxiBra]

hi I also had to add the lines by myself but now it works perfectly... but sometimes it´s really strange because even if I´m very far away the lines still "follow" me... it´s very hard to get rid of the AI again...

[David]

Sorry about that, here is the new config file.

[fedora]

Looks awesome! I cant wait until the AI is fully developed xD

just wondering do i have to redownload the entire thing each time or is there an updater?
EDIT: nevermind i just looked harder at the post.

[Ultimate Wombat]

Hi, I just preordered, so I'm new to this whole alpha thing.

Thus far, I have downloaded a123. It worked fine. Then I downloaded the changes that were made for a124 and copied the files I got into the data folder in Overgrowth. Whenever I try to run a level, it gives me an error that says, "Function: void update() not found in file: "Data/Scripts/cam.as"

What am I doing wrong?

How do we add path nodes onto the Nav Mesh??

How do we add path nodes onto the Nav Mesh??

ctrl+click to add, alt+click to link selected to another node or AI spawn, alt+shift+click to unlink stuff.

EDIT:
If you're talking about how to generate the nav mesh, just go to the "Pathfinding" tab and you have the tools there.

[MBAustin]

How do you access the mouse-controlled jump thing? Also, can you toggle it from being limited by the characters jump height to unconstrained?

[wolfbrother9393]

I thought that the nav mesh used different points than the patrol points. My bad. In the video I thought they looked different.

They do. The patrol points and the nav mesh stuff is totally separate.

[adwuga]

I clicked create new navmesh and its taking long time. does it do this for you guys? it takes long time on "Building Sample", and it keeps repeating. does it do this for every object?

Edit: it finally finished, and i clicked view navmesh, and it crashed.
