I finnaly get a bbeter computer, so quick as possible, I downloaded 2.7.4.

my Reaction: OH MY GOD HOTSEAT! I Called to all my friends! Seriously! xD We so wait for hotseat in new version!

But One thing.. I always use Keyboard to walk, shift items, and mouse just for attack (Laser mouse is sooo bad for walking) but now... There is no option to use Keyboard + Mouse and I cant play because I barrely can move with my character....

Or maybe it is? Anyone help me?


Trorcs Rule :twisted:

Egoboo 2.8.0 (the SVN) has somewhat better mouse control than before. Also there are a lot of changes and improvements since 2.7.4 in there as well :P

But how this SVN Thing works, can you explain me? It is a program for auto updates or something?

You can get developer updates instead of waiting for releases. It takes a bit of tinkering, but you can hook up a downloader so it gets the latest Egoboo as it's updated.

You just use that downloader each time you want to update it.

Just remember that with features come bugs.

And remember about downloading newest binaries, I always forget that myself(they don't update with SVN repository).

Yes but it has become an incredible hassle to get all the correct libraries from different sources (SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, SDL_ttf, truetype, LUA, SWIG, PhysFS) and you need to download and know how to work a compiler. Visual Studio is incredible big and overkill to download only to compile one binary. Not to mention it will probably require hours of work for a first timer to set up :P

Ok.. ok... Thank, thats even too much useful info! :D But just one thing.. how to download it? Where I can get it?

Well, there's a topic in Development where you can find the binaries, and in the tutorials section there is a tut to help get your actual SVN started up. It's tricky at first, but then it's a breeze. :)
