Windows/Linux Release Test

Post by Zefz »

Here is the new setup for Egoboo 2.8.0. I haven't announced any development release yet because I haven't had the possibility to test the installer on another pc. And also I do not have the Linux package up there yet.

If any other windows users could test it out that would be great. I think there might be problems because the Application Data folder doesn't exist as default.

Download Egoboo 2.8.0 Development release:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/egoboo ... e/download

P.S seems the download is now a whopping 120 mb! :woo:

120 mb? I've seen worse.
*download*
*crosses fingers*
EDIT: controls.txt not found; otherwise launched without a problem.

Hmm. So you had to launch it twice or copy something? Or did it work on the first launch with a log warning?

OK. I am uploading a new installer that fixes the problem mentioned above. The installer should now work out of the box :)

It also includes birdsey's latest SVN commit with some misc changes. I will announce it here so someone else than me can confirm that it works before I make it official!

File weights at 1.6 mb and tells me to go f*** myself when I try to run it.

Testing it...

EDIT: Just tested out Zippy with the default adventurer. I don't care for the arrow key controls, the smoke particles are all messed up, and for once the game speed isn't all screwed up! But for some reason, loading times are ten times what they used to be (in 2.7.4 and older).

- You can change the controls yourself. Those that come with the game are just the default controls.
- Some particle issues is a known bug. Coins also don't work for example.
- Loading times might be increased because of the GOR I think. But I haven't noticed any increase in loading times myself... I did do a profiling on it and 90% of the time is loading of the module objects.

---------
Also, the Linux version is now here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/egoboo/ ... z/download

But as penguinflyer5234 mentioned, it's the same as the SVN... A macintosh dmg release however, has to be done by a mac user. And who knows if the mac version isn't broken (anyone still using mac - excluding benurban?)

The Lorule module doesn't work, as one of the spawnthings was broken, something about 82 (I'm barely awake right now).

Strange... I haven't got that problem.

But has the Ulna that follows you a deeper meaning?
