If anyone wonders why there is still no installer ..... I have massive problems with my inet connection and have to share one with my neighbour for now. I cannot upload anything( not anything big) at the moment without getting into trouble with my neighbour ( his line is beeing neerly blocked when I upload ). $:-\$ We have to wait

I will balance the megapack a bit meantime.

Once you get it all good and stable I'll build installers for Windows and Linux.

titi · « **Reply #102 on:** 29 January 2010, 09:12:52 »

3.2.3 is good and stable! But maybe the linux binary distribution should include some more libs .....

-Archmage- · « **Reply #103 on:** 29 January 2010, 12:03:52 »

Good!

I'll get to work as soon as I can get the latest data, and binaries.

Here is a windows release of the latest megaglest beta!
Please test it!

Whats new?
- much more stable network and much less choppy multiplayer in general
- much less traffic in network games
- chat before the game starts
- automatic client disconnect messages, if someone leaves the game

I have a problem playing MegaGlest on my computer. It just simply won't start. Every time I click on the executable in windows, an error dialog appears saying that Glest couldn't start because of invalid or incorrect settings. The dialog also states that if I reinstall the program, it might fix the error. I tried reinstalling, but it didn't work. I am convinced that it has something to do with how old my computer is (I'm buying a new one soon). The normal Glest executable works though, so why shouldn't the MegaGlest exec work.

Furthermore, my graphics card is nvidia and is so crappy and old that it doesn't support "3d textures" and "shadows". In order to play Glest, I have to disable these two things. Maybe that's why I'm getting the startup error?

Thanks in advance.

I think it has something to do with the glest.ini.
Copy your glest.ini from your working glest to megaglest. And don't use the latest megaglest for windows use version megaglest 3.2.3.

This would be more popular if you put it in synaptic

This one?

I guess I'll just try the older version...
The older version is great!
Nice... I miss some stuff in GAE.. but the other better features make up for that.

Copy your glest.ini from your working glest to megaglest. And don't use the latest megaglest for windows use version megaglest 3.2.3.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Does Megaglest have an ini file of its own? What I usually do is install the latest version of Glest (which works perfectly). Then I install MegaGlest which completely ruins the install.

For the record, I am using version 3.2.3
I will post a version of my glest.ini, but later. I'm not using my home computer right now.

How to install megaglest:

- install glest 3.2.2

- Before you start save glest.exe and xerces-c_2_8.dll form the glest 3.2.2 installation directory to another directory.

Installation:
In the zip-file called:megaglest_3.2.3_win32.zip from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files/megaglest_3.2.3/megaglest_3.2.3_win32.zip/download
are these three files:
xerces-c_2_8.dll
lua5.1.dll
glest.exe

unpack/copy those to your glest directory.
Now it should work. ( it works here on windows XP service pack 2 )

-Archmage- · « **Reply #114 on:** 4 February 2010, 15:10:01 »

Please, do not call it 'glest.exe', I refuse to do backup crap, when all you have to do is call it 'megaglest3.2.3.exe'. $:-\$

modman · « **Reply #115 on:** 5 February 2010, 03:19:48 »

I personally call them glest_3.2.3_beta[insert beta version here].

-Archmage- · « **Reply #116 on:** 5 February 2010, 12:47:12 »

I would call the .exe megaglest-beta-[version].exe to avoid confusion.

aaris · « **Reply #117 on:** 5 February 2010, 16:54:11 »

Absolutely no luck. It's not working at all. It keeps saying that something is incorrect with configuration. I wouldn't pay to much attention to my problem though. Like I said before, my computer is ancient and will be replaced by another in less than 2 weeks from now (HP is in the process of building it right now).

In case you still choose to pursue this, my video card is an nvidia geforce2 MX (Just go right ahead and laugh. My new computer will have a 1gb ati radeon, though). As I stated previously, this card does not support shadow and 3d textures so I have to disable them. In addition, in order to play the game at a reasonable speed, I have to lower the colorbits and depthbits from 32 to 16. I also have to change the resolution to 800 x 600. All of that work just to get 25 fpm. It's worth it though, because I love this game. It is possible that all of these changes are messing with MegaGlest. Or maybe it is a hardware problem.

Anyway, I can't express how happy I am that I'm getting a new computer. Can you imagine doing anything with a computer that has a 64mb videocard (And I'm a graphic designer/web designer/java programmer

)? Anyway, thanks for help.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #118 on:** 5 February 2010, 17:45:10 »

Dude, we all have that problem!
Hold on, I'll test this new version...

aaris · « **Reply #119 on:** 5 February 2010, 17:47:30 »

Wait, What? I assumed that you got it to work on your computer, Archmage

-Archmage- · « **Reply #120 on:** 5 February 2010, 17:48:37 »

Well, if you look back, or in the other topic where they talk about it more, you'll see that nobody has got it working...

aaris · « **Reply #121 on:** 5 February 2010, 17:51:15 »

Then how could it be stable if nobody has gotten it to work. I'm relieved to here that I'm not the only one having this problem.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #122 on:** 5 February 2010, 19:05:21 »

Oh, wait, nvermind I was thinking about the 3.2.4 beta, yes 3.2.3 is stable.

aaris · « **Reply #123 on:** 5 February 2010, 23:45:51 »

titi · « **Reply #124 on:** 6 February 2010, 00:40:26 »

I repackaged the linux 3.2.3 release, ist should work on more distributions now.
