A New Dawn Beta Builds

[Afforess]

Yep... Looks like the art got misplaced.

Apprentice's School only give culture, that's it. What use is it? Better to discard it entirely, or give it 20% because School will give 40% .

Got my first CTD on the new beta. Save is attached and the game crashes on the next turn.

I setup a quick scenario in Worldbuilder if that means anything.

If you need a specific log, let me know as I'm unsure which ones are worth anything.

Thanks gain for a great mod

I can't load the save. Have you made personal modifications?

No. I just simply deleted the Rise of Mankind folder in My Documents and installed 1.75 to Rise of Mankind - A New Dawn.

Here is the save prior to the autosave above.

Are there any logs which could help you out?

I'm glad to see that AND 1.75beta was released. The simplification of install settings is a good idea, I believe that's very helpful for debuging. But the changes of the SVN file path made me download all the stuff, and it took me about 4 hours.. god...

I noticed that you added some music from simcity4, I love them too. And these music accompany me for a very very long time.... I'm afraid I will dream those scenes again..

Yeah - I know. It sucks for me too...

Lol. Back in 2004, I played SC4 so often, I would start to hear the music, even when I was outside, doing something completely different. I love/loved that game so much.

How exactly are the improved turn times achieved?

How exactly are the improved turn times achieved?

Generally Speaking - I improve turn times by finding out what uses a large chunk of turn times, and figure what I can do to optimize things. Sometimes, the code needs rewriting. In the case of 1.75, I added new caching mechanism for determining Zone of Control.

~_~ You've got me.. you can keep hearing those music even you was outside. Most of those music are blues, you know. If I hearing them for a very long time, I can hear a drumming in my ears.

Did you play CitiesXL? It's a good simcity game, except the bad traffic system. But it's still a good game, especially in graphic.

Yeah - I beta tested it in the closed beta. It wasn't nearly as good as SC4. It had some improvements, but too many flaws...

Bug report: the installer says to install to the Beyond The Sword\Mods folder, but defaults to Beyond The Sword\Mods\Rise of Mankind.

It's not a bug - It remembers your last install location, which happens to be wrong for a change.

Why not have installer forget old places of old users? Just wondering. Not that big deal when all old users switch over to 1.75, it is no longer an issue .

Killtech and Afforess,

Are you satisfied with screenshots of mine from before? I'm now in Renaissance era. Do you want screenshots of cities for present era?

Killtech and Afforess,

yes please. i answered and gave a quick analysis in the Alpha thread.
and you do not need to attach each city screen twice. the one with the gold hover info is totally sufficient.

however, i'm off for today.

 

[os79]

yes please. i answered and gave a quick analysis in the Alpha thread.

I'm assuming you said "Yes, please provide screenshots for Renaissance era. So here are they. Only first four. I have more cities now but I think first four cities will be enough for you.

Okay guys - I've had 150 downloads, but only 3 people posted feedback. I need to know - what did you like - what did you dislike - what can be improved?

Did you notice that these 3 feedbacks tended to focus on installation process. For me, it is mostly full glass instead of a little empty glass . I suspect that there will be maybe 2 or 3 beta releases this round . You did a great job.

It works really well.. But I suppose all of the Aarandas Religions, and HAND don't work anymore do they.. and Killtech do your civics work on this new version? I can't wait until you finish the final on them.. I like the idea of a standalone mod
