[Jeff]

The unofficial, Overgrowth a140 leaked build is here!


(watch in hd)

Changelog:
- Detail object layer tags saved with level xml

- Fix for imposter stipple transition
- Added generic GUI with Angelscript interface
- Added level.as for full-level scripting
- Improved ReadCharacter Angelscript functions
- Moved music selection and victory check to level script
- Improved self-shadowing with slight blur
- Fixed shadow swimming by locking shadow movement to texel increments
- Script globals saved and restored when reloading scripts

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!

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:

Win: Download
S3 fallback BitTorrent - please seed

cant download it cause theres no "fast eu mirror"

[Pulpcowboy]

why is it that after installing the alpha and trying to load a level i get an error message starting with "Vertex info". do i have to download each of the previous alphas first? I'm a bit lost and have been trying to find a solution for quite some time now. any help would be greatly appreciated.

[David]

What is the entire error message? If you can send that along with your system specs and OS to [email protected] then I can look into it more.

Hell, never expected this to work with my video card so soon! ( GTX 460 SE just in case )
After trying the alpha, I can't wait to see what the full version will be like! I loved it!

Wow, this is a really awesome update. I can't wait until summer school is over and I've got some free time to mess around with the scripts

Open up your map in text editor and find if you have grouped a ActorObject. if so remove it from a grop and it should help.
