a PM? ???

[John.d.h]

Archmage101, I still need to know what the error message is that you're getting.

And PMs are Private Messages, accessible via the "MY MESSAGES" button at the top of the page.

it says can't find /units/tech_stop/tech_stop.xml

[John.d.h]

Weird... I guess it accesses the files differently on Linux than on Windows.  I'll fix it and upload a new version tomorrow.  Thanks for letting me know.

[John.d.h]

Sun and Moon is up on Mod DB.  http://www.moddb.com/mods/sun-and-moon

[-Archmage-]

so is this your v1.0 alpha test #1

[John.d.h]

I don't particularly care to get into the version number thing, but I guess if I had to give it a number, I'd call it 0.2 since several models are made, but only a couple textures, a few sounds, and no animations, so I'm estimating that it's about 20% done.

As soon as I fix the Linux issue with the icons, I'll upload it as 0.2.1, which should be done some time this afternoon.

It is obvious that you have been working hard.  I would like to applaud your tremendous effort on the storyline.  The factioin for sun looks really good, and I think it will be a great faction.  Now, on the Earth and Sky, they seem real cool, but wouldn't it be best to just work on sun and moon?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.  I'm not doing any work on Earth and Sky yet, since I really want to get Sun and Moon done first.

So do you want me to add this to the Faction Download Center or is it not finished enough?

[John.d.h]

You can if you want, but wait until I get it working for Linux (should be fixed today).

[John.d.h]

The new version (0.2.1) is available.  What's been changed:

• Re-arranged some files and altered the XMLs to reflect this.
• Got it to run on Linux (Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex running Glest 3.1.2 on Wine).  This was a direct result of the previous point.
• Changed the Dun unit to use the model of the Castle instead of the Mage Tower.
• Changed the Serf unit to use the model of the Worker instead of the Initiate.
• Changed the Serf unit to have an attack skill and command.
• Minor cosmetic changes, like getting icons to match.

If you tried running the version I posted two days ago and it didn't work, you should be able to run this one, but if the other one worked for you, then there's not really any need to download this one since barely anything has changed.  You can if you want to, though.

Here's the link on mediafire:

Thanks to archmage101 for pointing out the Linux issue.

You can if you want.

[-Archmage-]

can you post it as .zip to because on my windows i can't unpack anything beside a .zip

or is there a program that i could use

[John.d.h]

http://www.7zip.org/

It's free and it supports zip, rar, tar, and 7z formats.

[John.d.h]

Anybody else have any problems, bugs, comments, concerns?  Has anybody tried running it on a Mac or any other operating system?

No problem.  Did you get it to work?

[-Archmage-]

so far it works on my windows
when i go to my dad's i'll test the newest version

i played it: it's great for the amount of work that's been done
here i made background images for sun and moon, but you'll have to scale them to fit in glest because i was using paint and i don't know how to get an accurate scaling on that program:

Okay, but I'm more concerned with getting it to work on Linux.  Let me know how it goes.

Actually, I had some really good ones in mind that I saw posted on here somewhere a while ago.  I'm not planning on doing icons any time soon, though.  I'd rather finish modeling, texturing, and whatnot first.

Nothing related with mediafire works here, files or images... But thanks.

I don't think its your computer. Unless you have some weird linux system, the browser should be all that matters. Firefox 3.1 (theres a new beta out), IE 8 (no longer a Beta I think), or google chrome (v1) all seem to work. I think you might have either a bad connection or a bad browser. If the browser doesn't work, I'm 90% sure that the internet connection (maybe the ISP is blocking???) is bad.

wow this is growing.
BTW I made a few images for sun now i'm working on moon, so don't worry.

[John.d.h]

Now available: construction models!  Note that, with the exception of stone_circle_construction, these are not final.  I'll probably make the final ones after the regular models have been textured and everything (no sense in texturing twice, right?).

Great, I look forward to seeing your work.

I'll probably add your mod to the list of incomplete ones once you have at least completed all of the building models OK?  By this point the factions will have some identity; right now they are more of a showcase of the models you have finished.

[John.d.h]

I've spent pretty much all day working on this mod, and in addition to the construction models, I've made a lot of progress on my XMLs, getting the stats the way I want them and whatnot.  When I make my next release (which should be quite a while from now because I've really gotta get started on this literature review assignment  ) expect it to be a significant improvement.

Sounds good to me.
