New binary for SVN users (#45)

Post by **Zefz** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 6:31 pm

This is a pretty big update to the binary since #24. Remember to update your SVN version as well

Oh and the Archmage Trials is up for grabs now

To get it to work properly, you will need to obtain it normally (you can't cheat your way into it).

Download binary #25

[PlaySoundLooped isn't properly stopped on module exit

I think I took out the command that restarted the sound module when the module exited. That was causing a problem with recovering the menu music from the "music stack".

I think that you are right to use that function or maybe some function to fade all those sounds.

Okay got a new binary for all you windows users who don't compile yourself. This one seems pretty stable and works very good (only two issues I know of is the infinite jumps and reloading new modules).

Download link for binary #26: http://www.2shared.com/file/6602399/9e3 ... RY-26.html

Here is a full changelong for 2.6.4 so far:

World map taken out?

That's going to upset some people.

Yes, but you can always add it back by copying it to 2.7.4's folder. Anyway, it's for good reason, and hopefully it will be in a more finished state soon enough, maybe the next release.

I know that. But some people who play the game, and don't really develop the game or hack the games system (Known as normal players), won't be able to do that. And they'll be pissed, because they won't get why.

If they don't read the changelog, that is. Some do.. and besides, I know everybody isn't going to take advantage of the easily edited system. I know everybody won't read the changelog, or copy a module. But some "normal players" do... And actually I think "hack the system" is a bit of a strong choice of words there..

For those players who don't do any of that, I'm sorry, but that's just the way it goes.. I could try to help get the world map in a more finished state for those players, though, if you want. Just the way it goes.. I understand how you're trying to express your opinion here.

It's not that I have a huge problem with it, but I think the average person who plays the game might. Either way, it's not a big issue.

There is no such average persons, I think.
It would be... weird. Egoboo isn't a big commerical game, it's small, open source, non popular free game, so everyone slowly begins to edit stuff and like that.

Well, I know there are a few such people.

You're telling me there's members of this forum who say something like:

Waah! What happened to the world map? I want the world map!

...And who will not know how to quickly fix the problem themselves.

aleco614 · Post by **aleco614** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 8:23 pm

No, I'm saying there are people NOT on this forum who will think that.

Agent of Dread · Post by **Agent of Dread** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 8:50 pm

What?!
You're confusing me.
You said you were arguing (originally) that some people might want the world map in but not be experienced in hacking and couldn't resolve their own problem without help.
Now you're telling me you're arguing that nobody here will have that problem.

aleco614 · Post by **aleco614** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 8:53 pm

NO...

Not every single person who plays this game actually goes to this forum. I'm saying people who aren't here on this forum may have that problem.

Agent of Dread · Post by **Agent of Dread** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 8:56 pm

Ah.
Well they can:
A)Sulk.
B)Come here and ask for help.
C)Figure it out themselves.

It's their choice not to fix the problem if they choose A.
