I changed the creeps to get a better difference between melees and mages.

Aren't those the mushrooms from whimsical forest?

[MuwuM]

Yes, they are. Are they not CC-BY-SA? Then I will remove them instantly. I assumed they were the same license like Vbros packs.

I don't build (many) models on my own (I'm just a bad modeller) but I'm using good models from almost every Glest mod (where the licence fit).

I'm quite sure they are. There's no need to remove them, Tiger was just asking.

Yah, its fine. He was just asking.

[MuwuM]

Ok, then the correct answer would be:

Yes, it is. and I think it fits nice to role as mage-creep.

Bump. Changed first post.

[titi_son]

Is there a new version?
I did not see any download-link

and I already thought  you stop making battleglest because you did not answer my msg.
Lets make a new hero :D  or should i make creep for you?
ok make I will make it if I am at a pc and not using my phone... ;)

[MuwuM]

Is there a new version?

Yes, but only because I increase the subversion on every big code change or after a couple of smaller changes.

I did not see any download-link

Yes, thats easy beacause there is no download link, yet. I assume that I will be able to release a unbalanced PreAlpha next week and the first version of the alpha at the end of february.

and I already thought  you stop making battleglest because you did not answer my msg.

Answered. (I know it's a bit too late :( )

Lets make a new hero :D  or should i make creep for you?

I think my creeps are quite good now, but I always need heroes. I think the "Saurian", you designed is the best hero in the game at the moment. If you have own ideas feel free to send them to me, if not you should have a look on the  [spoiler=Concepts.]
:) Xatum (Fire-Golem) (partly implemented)
Fire-Aura
Halftank
slow
BURN!!!!!

:) Tsukuyomi (Ninja) (I'd like to do this one myself)
Shadow
Melee/Assasine
Invisible (Smoke  Bomb)

:)  Ge Witter (Thor or a mage? or a new model)
Lightning
Flash
Thunder

:)  Leuconoe (Persian Princess)
Short ranged physical damage
Taunt (LOVE // movespeed+10% dmg -120%)
fast attack /lower dmg per hit

:) Met The Beekeeper (norseman-worker with indian bees) (partly implemented)

bee-tower
bee-aura
honey pot heal

:) <Name> (axethrower)
axe flying
pet mastery (1 pet supporting)
heal pet

BUMP. Released PreAlpha 0001-006. See first post.

[MuwuM]

Install-instructions for 0001-006 PreAlpha:

Extract 'mods' and 'scenarios' into your megaglestfolder (.bat file optional for windows).

Start megaglest with the parameters: megaglest --load-mod=$APPLICATIONPATH/mods/battleglest --load-scenario=0_battleglest

Replace $APPLICATIONPATH to the full path of the mod-folder if that doesn't work. Windows-user may use the .bat - file.

[MuwuM]

Played first multiplayer match today,  balancing sucks... CPU has no chance against humans, it's quite difficult to bring all palyers to the same set of data.

[MuwuM]

New Hero "Shadow Monk" is comming.

New Preview Video:

[Mr War]

Haha, awesome :-)

[titi_son]

what about upload a new version ?  ;D
i want to see my models :)
or is there a new version already and i don't know it?

EDIT: there is a new version and i don't know it.... these version numbers :confused:

[tomreyn]

Here's how I got Battleglest 0002-002 (interesting versioning scheme there) to run on Linux:

First I downloaded, then extracted the archive MuWuM uploaded. I ended up with a directory glest_game (located inside my home directory), which I renamed to battleglest-0002-002. I then copied my recently created megaglest binary executable file (of the a development revision, AKA head of trunk) into this directory (so I'm assuming you have this available or can build yourself here).

Now I changed into this directory, pasted a start script I quickly wrote, then ran this script from a terminal window to start the game (and be able to watch its output):

v 0002-003 online

Known issues (fixed in next release)

# You can't select Xatum
# Crash due to error generatig Creeps

Download fix http://www.muwum-lexicons.de/battleglest-0002-003b.7z(link removed) and extract to /scenarios/0_battleglest

Tested match without heros ... after 127 minutes team blue won without any tower left ... no single error/warning

[titi_son]

Now i found out why i can't run battleglest with linux
in addition to tomreyns way you have to copy the glest.ini because megaglest will not find $APPDATA\/battleglest/

Does everything work fine, now?

I started a new performance-improvement patch using softcoders getUnitsForFaction() it seems to be working, but I have to test that. I think I can improve performance by about 25-50 % with that.

[tomreyn]

Right, I forgot to mention this. But then it seems you were able to find this out on your own anyways. ;-) I assume MuWuM will provide a Linux compatible glest.ini at some point.

Here's an example which should (read: untested) work with current MegaGlest development builds:

_{Edit by Omega: Removed spoiler tag, as they don't play well with an immediately childed code tag.}

What sort of spell effects do you have?

Burning, poison, healing, slowing, snaring, damage-reduction

In the commercial versions they have:
lifesteal
manaburn
stuns
snares
roots
slows
immobilize
silence

etc.

I'd like to have lifesteal, but it is not possible, stunning is not really possible, maybe a workarround with reducing all speed-parameters (attack-speed, move-speed, build-speed, morph-speed), mana-burn is not possible (but I think it's not so important at the moment...

If MegaGlest (or you, since you're using a custom engine, right?) were to implement GAE's effects, you could very easily have "life steal" and "mana burn" (assuming the former just absorbs health and gives it to the attacker while the latter simply damages EP).

No, I'm not using anything different from SVN-head.

If MegaGlest were to implement GAE's effects, you could very easily have "life steal" and "mana burn" (assuming the former just absorbs health and gives it to the attacker while the latter simply damages EP).

I think softcoder would not be sooo happy to use GAE-code without much testing in multiplayer, And I can't use code, that might cause problem in multiplayer and I don't want to use anything else than MG-SVN (or the corresponding release that supports, everything I need for my mod)
