Regarding a first release

[eezstreet]

I think we're pretty close to a first release, provided I can hammer out some more of the SP-related issues.

What's everyone else's opinion?

[Omicron]

How would a first release differ from the builds which come out dailey?

[Jeh]

I'd love to see that!

It'd be official, and downloadable on JKH with all the builds available, inc. JK2 SP support (even though it's a little bit buggy right now)

[ensiform]

JK2 support is not coming in first release.  It hasn't even been separated yet.

I was just thinking about starting a thread like this. I was curious when it would happen since most people won't want to take the time and effort to compile it and whatnot. Or to even learn how.

 

I look forward to a first release. Even if it's labeled beta.

You don't need to compile it to get it already, just visit this page.

No Mac versions. Though I did forget about that page.

Couldn't you run it with Winebottler?

Couldn't you run it with Winebottler?

Yes, but that's not even worth it when I can just play normal JA in native, with widescreen and everything.

 

I only use Wine as a last resort.

The buildbot is able to create Mac builds, but there's no configuration set up for Mac. If someone makes a config for it, it'll be able to produce Mac builds.

I reckon you wait until you have a more stable version either for both JA and JO or one that works for both games . . .

It's pretty stable now. The only thing being the config thing?

Config thing ?? :/

[eezstreet]

Config thing ?? :/

Game wouldn't load if the config got too big. I'm not aware of any other stability issues.

How 'big' would 'too big' be then ??

[eezstreet]

Not really sure/important per se. It just needs to get fixed.

[katanamaru]

I ran into that in base JA. I made a custom config with all my camera controls and such and the game would not load it.

 

My opinion?

Yay!

[eezstreet]

Should be able to rewrite the parser to handle dynamic amounts of memory :S

I'll be working on seeing if I can get XInput into MP at some point (this is the code that handles Xbox 360 controllers, but currently a little broken on the MP side so I'll have to fix it). Likely will just port my SP code for it into MP.

[katanamaru]

I tried using a build once, but couldn't get it to work. Is there a link to a readme somewhere or is there one included now?

[eezstreet]

Couldn't get it to work how? What were you doing?

[katanamaru]

I just downloaded the newest build. I'll try again and see if I get it right.

I can't remember what I did now.

[Yberion]

What about a beta before the real release ?

Why?
