MegaGlest 3.3.1 Windows Installer! ( alternative version )

[softcoder]

New installer is up on sourceforge.net (tested and working on Windows 7).

Archmage... I checked in the installer script into SVN under mk\windoze\Installer (I used the open source NSIS Installer) so you can play around with it for future releases to make it more nifty / pretty.

Get your Windows Mega-Glest 3.3.1 Installer here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/megaglest/files/current_release/Mega-Glest-Installer.exe/download

(I posted this BEFORE the uploaded finished so it may be another 30 minutes or so before the file is there)

update by titi:
Please test it and give feedback!

[-Archmage-]

Don't tease me with SVN, I can't download anything from it.

I'll try that program.........

[softcoder]

Archmage... be more than happy to help you with your SVN problems (it really is a best way to go for your work here)

I'll be in IRC if you want to chat.

Thanks

Noone tested it yet?? 

Come on, please give feedback if it worked for you!

Now I am wondering is the version next be the one that fixes the end menu overlap when you play the CPU. See I've never had been able to get the on line of Glest to work wont let me log on so I play the AI only. So I hope you address this problem soon about the end menu overlapping the player one resources harvested stats.

Its just an installer not a new version! Nothing is changed with this! ( and by the way, I think you have to wait a while for the next release! )

Did you try the installer and does it work for you?

Downloaded and tested.  I'm getting the end-screen error like someone else pointed out, but other than that everything was flawless.

Edit: Perhaps I spoke too soon.  On my second test, I adjusted the screen resolution in glest.ini to 1200x800, and when I ran MegaGlest again, it immediately crashed.  A console popped up and disappeared before I could read what it said, but here is my glest.ini:

Edit again: On my third attempt, I set resolution to 1280x800 and it ran fine.  However, it wouldn't let me take a screenshot with 'e' during the custom game screen.  It didn't crash the game, but it didn't do anything else either.  Anyway, here's what I noticed wrong there:

Code: [Select]

[URL=http://img31.imageshack.us/i/playerslots.jpg/][IMG]http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/857/playerslots.th.jpg[/img][/URL]As you can see, it's a four-player map, but all eight slots are shown.  The extra slots aren't actually available (they can only be 'closed'), but usually extra slots aren't shown at all.  I'm about to test an eight-player game, so I'll report back to say how it went.

do you still have the logfile? If not can you reproduce it?

What happens if you switch to a "normal" resolution?

[softcoder]

If possible we need the .log file(s)

[John.d.h]

I switched to 1280x800 (the 1200x800 I used earlier was a mistake, actually) and it runs fine.  I already wrote over the log file, but I looked at it and everything seemed normal.  I'll see if I can reproduce the error, after I finish this game.  (8-player maps seem to be working fine, though. )

Edit: And whatever somebody said about sputtering sound, I noticed a similar thing a moment ago.  I'm playing as Egypt on the Autumn tileset, and when night came and the crickets started chirping, it made this grinding/sputtering sound for a little while.

[titi]

Can you try to report Megaglest related problems in the megaglest thread?
This is ( was) the windows insatller thread  and I think the installer worked fine for you?

[John.d.h]

Yes, the installer itself worked fine.  I'll continue in the other thread.

[ultifd]

Cool, Downloading
Will test.  
EDIT: Everything seems to be fine, excluding the overlay problems. 

[MJR]

No need to try the installer if the menu is still flawed will wait for the next version then try it.

[ultifd]

No need to try the installer if the menu is still flawed will wait for the next version then try it.

The overlay bugs are just little bugs. 
Installers need testing to see if they work or if they have problems or bugs, other than the overlay bug. 

Noone tested it yet?? 

Come on, please give feedback if it worked for you!

Like why do you think Titi is so frantic? just kidding...
