Alpha 1 links!

Post by Jeff » Sun Nov 02, 2008 4:12 am

Hey guys! There is going to be a lot of alpha news coming fast! I just sent out an email which will include your unique alpha code that you must use to log into your Alpha 1 copy. Please keep this secret!

Sorry for the annoying authentication -- this will soon get a lot easier with the UI stuff we are working on, however, the 500 Facebook members caught us off guard. You guys really were motivated to get that alpha. :P

More information coming soon - stay tuned.

Here are the download links.

Mac OS X:

Windows:

Linux:
Coming... Will talk to Ryan Gordon about it.

README link: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4148

By the way - please let me know how the download speed is.

Have had several crashes now, here are two that i remember.
crash 1:
step 1: press load
step 2: try to load the only xml file i could find in a overgrowt subfolder
step 3: close the abort message
step 4: the menu thing was suddenly following my mouse movement with no buttons held
step 5: clicking the mouse, crash

crash 2:
step 1: scale the rock to a two dimensional rock
btw, the scale is way to reactive, good that ctrl+z exists or the scale tool would have been unusable
step 2: look at the rock from the side, crash.(another one was similar where i made the rock into a green line and when i moved the camera it crashed(could have deselected the moment it crashed))

The shadows on the mountains are strange too, are they supposed be totally black?

Edit: the scale tool is a crash monster, a small nudge with the mouse and the editor crashes
