About the readme...

The readme.doc, has all kinds of extra crap in it....
Same with the changes.doc, also, I didn't do the Shadow Walker, Omega did.
I helped with some animation and texturing, and maybe I did something else that I can't remember, I dunno...

At least you read it.  I'll make sure to fix all of those errors, and thanks for pointing them out. :)

Now please elaborate on what exactly this "extra crap" is in the readme.  I would not type anything I thought was extraneous (no, I do not enjoy typing as a rule).  So what is it?  Mysterious symbols?  A hit list?  Lotto numbers for the next 30 years? :D

WEll, download the readme package you provided, and open it in Notepad++, if you don't see all the thousands of strange unknown characters mixed in with some of the words, then I'll show you, I tried to copy the symbols but I couldn't. :P

I think that's because you're trying to open a word processor file (*.doc) with a text editing program (Notepad++).  What you're seeing is essentially the extra stuff that tells a word processor how to format the text, in the only way Notepad++ knows how to interpret it (as seemingly random garbage).  Try opening it with OpenOffice, or whatever your preferred word processor is, and see if it looks better.

Yeah, .txt or .rtf for sure, that way everybody can open it even if they don't have a fancy word processor.

I think it says to download Open Office in the tutorial if you don't have it.  If you don't, you can be assured I'm not the only person who uses .doc files.

I like *.doc files because they allow me to use formatting.  Also, they are easier to work with.

If you don't have MS Office or Open Office, what would you write a report with?  Notepad++ ? :P

Update: I think rtf is a good alternative also.  It'll be that way for the next release, 'k?

Sounds good.  (I use Google Docs, by the way. :P)

Well, there was an error while loading the faction...

Maybe it's related to me placing the faction in the megapack but I don't think...
BMP and it can't load the energy.

You're welcome.

The other error is maybe because it can't find the .g3d file. Re-check your file(s).
If the error, persists, just reply ^^

Check to see if the file referenced in the XML is the same name as the actual file.

Exactly like He and I said. Check to see if your models folder have the same path and name as your error.

Damn.  I learnt my lesson, I guess.  That is: that I should always always always test out a release completely before uploading.

It seems that this version is un-salvageable.  I'll revert to the older version because it at least ran correctly.  For those that downloaded the cruddy version, you probably know how to fix it, it's just a pain.  Otherwise, revert to the old version.  I'll change the initial post as well.

EDIT: Again, sorry for the let-down.  If you want, just add the Gargoyle in yourself; you will have the same as what v 10.02.28 was supposed to have.

EDIT: Well, at least only four people downloaded the newer version.  We know at least one is ultifd, and I really appreciate the fact that he tested it out though.  Better the heat comes from him than from titi (lol just kidding titi ;D).

The new version is not that bad, it's just that you didn't actually finish/patch it up...  ::)  :P
Like with Dark Elder and then Gargoyle...  :P

One thing I like is that you added an alliyp to help us in the beginning...   ::)  :P

Was there actually anything else added? Besides the startup of the alliyp and changing the Gargoyle...?

Thanks.  :)

I was one of the other four who downloaded it. :P
Didn't have a prob with the Elder because Î only downloaded after the patch was uploaded so... it was good to start off with. ;)
I did encounter the problem with the XML referencing other filenames than the ones actually in the models folder.
Something weird: NO prob at all with the Energy source in my install!  :o (running Linux here).

First comments on very short try:
 :o Isn't all of that sliglty OVERPOWERED?! 12000 HP for the main building? That's 50% more than the Magic one!... (isn't this meant to be balanced out with Magitech? Or did that change?)
And fast units (275) to start up with (much faster than tech and significantly faster than magic) as well as an actual archmage equivalent (the hallyp) only with almost double that one's hp?...

I suppose you're not thinking of balancing out right now... Just... balancing in? (would make sense ;))

Also... the hallyp walking anim... does he have to wag his "tail" around...?  ::)

Now you wish the heat was coming from Titi, huh?... ;D

P.s.: .rtf can be read even by WordPad (just in case you don't write reports or actually write them with WordPad... Possible. ;) )

EDIT:
Psoitive feedback: The particle systems look great! And so do the models! ;) 8)

Yah, I looked through the .blends, I don't have them all, but I'd like to modify the anims on the ones I have(came with the readme package).

If you're going to fix up the Allyp, you can put the alpha stuff back on it, since we figured out how to make it work without screwing up the stuff behind it. :)

That's 'cause someone in the Glest Team forgot to sync the Move and the Animation speeds on Magitech... ;D Being that the latest hasn't any effect in actual gameplay... I missed your point. :P

I think the best animations were from Titi's *.blends, but then I screwed them up but improved the texture.  If you want to get the best of each, you can take Titi's animations, my texture, and Jamin's original model with the frilly alpha stuff.

Here's da model in .obj format.. dunno if it'll mess up smoothing/unweld verts.
Also couldn't remember how glest handled team col, so I save out a few versions of the texture.
