you can switch off the new particle effects in the options. Try it without them please!

( Update: please don't call this kind of installation "compiling". If you say compiling everyone is thinking about a c++ compiler you are using to compile glest )

Sorry, I will update my posts. What word should I use then...

I'll try to "re-install" ~~compile~~ my megaglest then.
Oh, it did not work...so same thing...

As I said before, the Persian faction seems to be ok-ish.
$:-\$

please tell us details about your computer ( gfx card/cpu/ram ...)

Titi, this is great news for you!

I just did a test with the Installer I built, it puts a Shortcut on the Desktop and everything, I tested it, it ran fine.

Now the really good news: My installation is more up-to-date than Ultifd's, I tested gameplay, I played Egyptians and every other faction was controlled by the AI, at first everyone was harvesting only gold, but then the Persians started to mine stone and then about 5 minutes in, each faction was harvesting every resource.

Should I post the installer?

titi · « **Reply #28 on:** 10 March 2010, 01:46:21 »

yes please!
( did you also had the problem with non harvesting workers?

I thougt it was only ultifd?)

ultifd · « **Reply #29 on:** 10 March 2010, 01:46:58 »

...

Anyways...let's see.

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit...
Processor :   Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @ 2500 MHz
Ram: 3GB...enough for Glest. really.
DirectX :   Version 11.00
Display Adapter: Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family
Video Processor:    Intel(R) GMA 3100

any more? yeah...sucks...although I have another computer with better "stuff"...I don't want to use that one though.
But my comp is good enough to run Glest...at least.

EDIT: Post it...

titi · « **Reply #30 on:** 10 March 2010, 01:51:37 »

Yes thats really all enough beside the intel onboard gfx which is ... slow , but it should work

update:
Does anyone here ( beside ultifid ) ever saw this harvesting bug?

-Archmage- · « **Reply #31 on:** 10 March 2010, 02:13:42 »

Titi, my last post was mostly about the problem...........I didn't see it, everything worked fine for me, all other players on CPU-Easy, they all harvested like they were supposed to.

Installers are being uploaded.

Where can I find the Windows Installer for MegaGlest beta 5 link. Would love to have it.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #33 on:** 10 March 2010, 02:42:53 »

Dude, please read, the installer is uploading, and I'm calling is BETA4 not BETA5, because of one of Softcoders comments on his first post.

ultifd · « **Reply #34 on:** 10 March 2010, 02:46:56 »

Well, I just played a game with 3 CPU Easys... they harvested

...but they didn't harvest wood.
CPU easy- Norsemen: Harvested gold, then stone, but not wood. Produced basically everything until they ran out of wood...
CPU easy- Persian: only harvested gold produced 2 "buildings"
CPU easy- Indians: didn't harvest anything. Produced a reed and something else...
ME- Egyptian.

At least I had some fun.
So all I know, is that "regular" CPU has the most problems.

A while ago, I tried out a game with CPU ULTRA and CPU MEGA. They didn't harvest...
I might test some more later...
Who knows? maybe the installer will work.

Here you go guys, a new installer for Windows.

Titi's taking care of Linux installation stuff now, and I'm glad because doing both would be a pain.

Code: [Select]

[url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5207065/Glest%20Files/MegaGlest/MegaGlest_3.2.4-BETA4_Install.exe]Download new Installer![/url]

More good news: This seems to be much smaller than the previous ones I made.

Enjoy guys!

Thanks!

Downloading...
----------
This video shows what I was talking about... (CPU Easy Norsemen) Although it doesn't do a nice job, sine Egyptians are very powerful/lots of splash.

<-- atleast they are harvesting gold and stone now...

Did you download it?

ultifd · « **Reply #38 on:** 10 March 2010, 05:33:25 »

Whoa, it works now!

Thanks!

I have the same files as you though...so I wonder what was the problem... ???
Sweet. I wonder why I was the only one who had this problem...

-Archmage- · « **Reply #39 on:** 10 March 2010, 05:36:07 »

No, I had newer data.

Mine was from svn your was from an older 7z package for the BETA3 data.

Enjoy!

titi · « **Reply #40 on:** 10 March 2010, 09:32:07 »

Very very very very good news !

Could this been affected by the data ?????

I have to test it this evening ..............

-Archmage- · « **Reply #41 on:** 10 March 2010, 16:08:47 »

IDK, with Ultifd's strange Mega-hating computer, who know it could work for 5 seconds and then blow up.

Since my Installer is working, tested it on my own computer, and Ultifd says it works, do you mind if I stick it at the first post here and on the first post on the MegaGlest topic?

Titi, are you going to do the Linux package, I can help with Installers, or if you just want to do a 7z then.......ok.........,..ish...

titi · « **Reply #42 on:** 10 March 2010, 18:31:47 »

No not yet, the final 3.2.4 is very near now!
Its useless to do it now!

Then what are we waiting for?!

titi · « **Reply #44 on:** 10 March 2010, 19:20:41 »

I'm not completly finished with the data and there is one little bug concerning scenarios.
Another thing we have to fix is the structure of the svn, which is not made the usual common way.

The minimum for the release is a cleaned up svn with folders like trunk/branches/tags.
But then we will go for it. I will ask softcoder if he still sees any problems, if not ->release .

-Archmage- · « **Reply #45 on:** 10 March 2010, 19:43:54 »

Titi, please do something so that I don't have to download everything from svn it takes me a few hours, and I don't want to have to continuously do it.
Is there anyway I can download......say....the new stuff since sometime.

titi · « **Reply #46 on:** 10 March 2010, 20:11:45 »

If you use a svn client you only download the changed stuff everytime! Try it.
But If you want to use this data for a release you have to copy all the files and then remove the .svn files in the copy.

-Archmage- · « **Reply #47 on:** 10 March 2010, 20:14:35 »

Good idea, can you refer me to a good svn client?

Instead of doing and 'svn export' on the online repo, check it out,
svn co ... ~/my_directory

then every once in a while do,
cd ~/my_directory svn update

which will update your local copy with changes made since you last updated (or checked out)

then you can 'export' from you local copy,
cd ~/my_directory svn export . ~/my_export

That said, what until he gets the repo layout fixed up.

Windows: TortoiseSVN
Linux: RabbitVCS

titi · « **Reply #49 on:** 10 March 2010, 20:33:52 »

Yes, better wait until we fix the svn layout. I'm currently waiting for a (email)reply from softcoder before we start with the structure change.

update: just for info, I got an email now and we decided to aim for a release this weekend .
