If anyone has the sound issue, please record a 'demo' of how it happens on your system and put it on youtube so I can see for myself.
In the meantime, Titi will give the official announcement but... the dev version is ready for public testing and download on sf.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files/ (https://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files/)
on look under the 'in_development' folder. Please report all bugs so that we can get a solid release out soon.
EDIT:
*NOTE: I have built Linux 64 bit binaries and sent them up this time too.
Thanks

I'm certainly not going to go into a giant explanation about all the options people have.
BTW, I'm working on a new installer, but my chances of getting everything to work aren't so great so hold your breath guys. :-XCool! :thumbup:

I can test it now, but what "data' to I over write with these beta megaglest files? Just confused... Roll Eyes Huh?
Thanks. Thumb Up
Yeah, I know... but sometimes...like now, I'd rather not download the installer, just the "data files"... ::) :|QuoteNot really, it was slow when I used it to unpack your "files" the other time (the one that failed) Roll Eyes

Failed......
I pack my 7z files with ultra compression and settings nice and high, so I get a smaller package, but maybe it has trouble being unpacked on other computers......of course I can always just do a regular 7z file with less compression...........QuoteQuote

MegaGlest is standalone no files need to be overwritten, and the installer forces you to use the directory I set, because if you use the wrong directory it won't work, and if simply put a note saying to install it somewhere, people might ignore it.........
But don't worry, the install path is: "C:\Users\{Userdir}\MegaGlest\3.2.2"
:)
BTW, Ultifd, the installers will only be made for complete versions or whatever, BETA versions will only have 7z packages. ;)Yeah, I know. :) My "wording" is just mixed up. Anyways, I am downloading it right now... ::)
I'll put a new 7z package up in the morning. :)Cool. :thumbup:
Ok a new win32 beta is ready for testing at:Will test, once I finish downloading Archmage's data files... ::)

Let us know how this plays. Also I wonder why no-one mentioned if the sound problems have been fixed or not?? Do we only report bad things here or do we report if something has been fixed?
@ultifid: When you still have trouble with the overlay in the endgame screen, which screenresolution do you use? 640x512 like your screenshots?No, I used 1024x 768 I think, like regularly... ::)
Sorry, but this will never work :/ , its a too small resolution to show all those letters.
Wow. Playing with 8 teams was incredible. Best game ever.Same for me, usually... ::)
By the end though, it got super-slow. There was probably a 1 second delay between mouse movement, clicking, etc. that made it hard to use.
Is that to be expected with this many teams? ;)
I was playing with all normal cpus (not ultra)Yeah, I usually try out games with regular CPUs... ::)
Was that network play or on a single computer vs CPU?... ::)

Is that because of vbros pack, or megaglest. I'll try using the debug switches as a testSimplest way to test that would be to try the Vbros pack 4 in vanilla Glest (v 3.2.2). If you get the same behaviour, it's the vbros pack, if not, something's affecting it in Megaglest (in which case it may not necessarily be megaglest's "fault", just something unexpected the vbros 4 pack does, but still megaglest should probably address it IMO).
By the end though, it got super-slow. There was probably a 1 second delay between mouse movement, clicking, etc. that made it hard to use.
But yeah, happens to me a lot of times. Not a bug, I think, though. :|

I suspect I know exactly what the problem is, and I would consider it a bug, a well masked one, but a bug none the lessYeah.
vanilla Glest (v 3.2.2)aka Original, wiiboy. ::)
Right, one other problem: I'm using the vbros pack 4, and at roughly the same point in the games I play, the game speeds up like crazy (i.e. twice normal playing speed, so units are producing, moving, etc. faster).Maybe you accidentally speed up'ed the game by pressing... the "+" key... :|

As far as the computer slow down It is caused because with 4 or 8 players there are hundreds of units on the map eating up video ram then when you have a big battle and a lot of units are killed the video tries to catch up to where it should be and so everything for a second or two goes at high speed to catch up to where the places it was ask to be with the units left. So the problem not enough video ram for the game play at high units engaged in the game. To solve this you need to limit the amount of units on the game at one time or go get a 2 to 4 gigabite video card that would only cost you about 1500 to 2500 dollars. The more video ram the more units it will support at normal game play.Yeah, basically... but I'd rather have a laggy game than to spend 1500 to 2500 bucks... ::)
and I've had 3 different video cards since I found Glest all about the same accept the more video ram I have the longer it takes for the choppiness to happen. Now on average don't see it for the first 20 to 25 minutes. At first I had a 250 megabit ddr 3 video card and it would be choppy after only 5 to 10 minutes. Then I got a 512 ddr 2 video card and it took between 14 to 17 minutes for it to become choppy. Now I have a 1 gig ddr 3 with 256 bit interface and like I said on average 20 to 25 but not really bad until about 35 minutes into the game.Did you change any other hardware in your machine during that time?
I believe it has to do something with the sound of the factions. Like the Indians war cry also when they talk it sometime stick but not when it is just the background music. Only when you add the background music with a unit talking or the war cry like in Indians does the sound start to stick and all the sound background and the war cry gets choppy like a stuck record or skipping record.Yeah, but I think we already know that, see? ::)
Ultifd, for me there is a pattern to the glitches...Well, what do you mean by acknowledgments?Quote from: mewhen units say acknowledgments the background music glitches
You mean like when they "say" like attack sounds?
Yeah, I checked. Same for me. I'm not sure if that's the problem though...cause it seems like there are other reasons.
It only happens in MegaGlest. I don't own GAE. Am not sure how to record it but happens when the background music and the Indian war cry are happening at the same time. I am on Windows XP 64 bit with a Nvidia high definition sound with the latest drivers.You could record your screen...so use a screenrecorder... ::)
First how would a screen recorder record the sound and if it does can't you tell me of one that is freeware.Umm...if you have ever seen my signature. and at least saw one of my videos... then yeah, you should know screen recorders can record sound.... ::)
The A* frequently 'floods' on path requests from harvesters, what should be short and quick path calculations instead involve searching for an unreachable destination, a node limit stops such searches eventually.
I tried CamStudio I can get video but no audio to record tried every setting in CamStudio. There doesn't seem to be any free version of Fraps and it says without buying it will only record 30 seconds at a time so there isn't anyway I can record and have you hear the sound problemFor CamStudio, I thought I couldn't record sounds too, until I came up with a solution (that should work) (win7)

I used Arch's installer (very nice by the way) and I had the humming problem.
And tell us how often it happens or if it happens always.
When I play Norsemen I have it, Tech, nope, Egypt, nope,
I am not running Windows 7 I am running XP. the information on how to try to get CamStudio audio to work XP doesn't have those menus so I'll just have to live with the sound problem or play the game without sound on.Oh sorry, :confused: :-[
When I play Norsemen I have it, Tech, nope, Egypt, nope,For me, it is for like every single faction.
I mean, I tried the mushroom one a few days ago right, and then... *screech*... ::)
I'm attempting to download the latest version, so I'll see if it fixed the problem (although I doubt if titi cannot reproduce it he would have fixed it before a reputable report came).Well, the worst thing that can happen/is happening... is that we are all experiencing different problems... ::)I mean, I tried the mushroom one a few days ago right, and then... *screech*... ::)
Like I said, mine is like a telephone. It just pauses with the phone sound on one tone and then continues.
It's almost like choppy graphics which pause for a moment and then speed/skip to catch up.
Wow the download is going to take 20 min even with DownThemAll (download manager for FF)! I wish it would only include the new files, since most of the changes look like they apply only to the engine...Yep... :|
Hmm...I seem to be having problems with the resolution, fine for me, but when I try to record, the screen is zommed in or cut, like in my latest video. Roll Eyes
I set it to 1024x768, while it automatically changes back to 1280x1024...
Another reason why I can't wait for the release. Roll Eyes
Also, since this release, I it is harder to record Glest...I mean I start recording right...usually no problem, but now for some reason it automatically minimizes Glest, which is why now I have to start out my videos weird...I hope the next release will fix this. Roll EyesNot sure what is minimizing glest, but it isn't anything in the glest code... its likely your recording program? Every time I run mega-glest it starts up windowed or fullscreen.
for some reason it automatically minimizes Glest, which is why now I have to start out my videos weird...I hope the next release will fix this. ::)Does it work when you use the hot keys instead of clicking record? I think F9 is record, but I can't be sure about that.
Semi-OTI always use hotkeys... ::) Coincidentally, yes, I set it as F9. ::)for some reason it automatically minimizes Glest, which is why now I have to start out my videos weird...I hope the next release will fix this. ::)Does it work when you use the hot keys instead of clicking record?

Thanks, will try that.Here is my previous post, since suddenly...new page. :|
Also, aren't you going to tell us that you uploaded the new files?
But one question, is the data package that was uploaded today different from the one on the first page of this page? Cause if not, I don't want to download it... ::) (big file size)
thanks. :) :thumbup:
I'm a coder not a forurm moderator. Feel free to change up the posts as you see fit, just want to let people know there is a new release :)and an awesome one... ::)
