Unofficial alpha 87, weekly build

[Jeff]

The unofficial, alpha 87 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. (although I am having trouble with them right now)

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.

You have my thanks.

The Extra data is updated in this release, right?

[zalo]

I try opening up any map on a fresh install, and it gets stuck on simplifying terrain it says problem loading data/temp/terrainlow.obj then it crashes.

[Freshbite]

Try running the game as an Administrator, that solved a similiar problem for another person.

[Untadaike]

Alpha downloaded. Went really smooth. Only took like 6 minutes.
The resize button on the bottom right corner of WebKit has no function inside OG. Also, WebKit makes OG crash randomly on my computer.

Same exact error as zalo. Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Question: are you supposed to be able to type in the WebKit search and url spaces at this point? Doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for the effort, but it didn't work.

[Freshbite]

Thanks for the effort, but it didn't work.

Then check if there is another folder inside the Data folder that is also called "Data".

[biztone]

I have try the methods mentioned "run as admin" and there is no other folder in the data folder
and still get the same error as "zato" is there any way to go back to a previous built for the time being just pre-order and was wanting to test things out.

[Freshbite]

All the old Alpha threads are still on this forum, scroll down a little on the first page and try out version 85 or 86, both of them seemed to work for quite alot of people.

You may have to completely uninstall all versions between each install.
That goes for when installing new versions aswell, perhaps that is your problem?

[zalo]

Nope, no Data in Data problem, and this is the first time I installed OG on this computer.

Also, why do you post in bold?

I guess I'll leave this one up to Jeff or David.

I've been posting in bold for quite a while now.
I am, well, quite active on this board and it's easier to spot responses to what I've posted if that which I have written is in bold. You see, if they quote my messages, their quotes will also be in bold, thus increasing my chances of spotting a post waiting for me to react to.

Simple, really.

It looks like David has fixed this for next week's alpha -- sorry about that!

[Freshbite]

See? There's nothing these guys can't fix.

[Untadaike]

Awesome. Then we can just sit tight. We have lives besides OG, right? We have other interests, hobbies, activities, jobs etc, no? No. No we don't.

[biztone]
