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].

thanks for the update, looking good.
A small thing like the level end screen is a good step towards making this feel like proper level.

Good job

For new users

• If you have not installed Overgrowth yet you can use the SUMLauncher to do so!
• If you already have Overgrowth installed you can use the SUMLauncher to update it to the latest alpha.
• The SUMLauncher also allows you to install the Menu Mod which gives you another 115+ maps to try.

For Existing SUMLauncher users

• If the menu files were changed in this alpha, the menu mod will no longer work. Updating the Menu Mod (to re-enable custom maps) might take us a little while. Once we have uploaded a new version you can use the menu mod installer to update it. (And don't worry, it won't break anything if you try running the installer before we upload the new files.)
• It may also take us a bit to update the Menu Mod to include any new maps that this alpha may have added.

For future updates keep an eye on our twitter @SUMOGUtilities!

The arrow button does not work on the new screen! D:

I've been longing for the possibility to add and edit the team parameters for a long time, so this is a great addition today!
Now all we need is a function to have the other NPC's follow the player or teamleader and it will be even better.

everytime I try to start a level with enemies it has an error message about the enemies paremeters. so please help me if you can

[tonicer]

how can i disable that pretty "challenge end screen" thingy?
it slightly annoys me because i rather reset maps or npcs with l or x or exit to menu to load another map.
i thought i ask people who know more about scripts than me.

In most levels, the lag is fairly bad unless I disable all graphics settings, and even then, I only get a slight increase in FPS. My computer's not exactly low spec, with i7, 8GB RAM etc. but now whenever I get to the end screen added in this Alpha, my FPS drops to a consistent 3... what am I doing wrong? D:

You can still revive characters with x, or reset with l as long as you do it before the challenge screen comes up. Also, you can hit replay, or exit to the main menu from the end screen.
Sadly, the continue to play button doesn't seem to be working.

On the level end screen I can't click continue like I could before. Now I have to restart the whole level or go back to the main menu. the arrow pointing right doesn't work

Here is an update that should make the right arrow button do what the "continue" button used to do: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3236655/challe ... ntinue.zip

This contains a level.as file that should replace the old one in Data/Scripts/.

Thanks David! That was fast.
