Beta Testers Needed!

[strategyonly]

Yes, I did add the brown interface, although it's really more of a deep-red than a brown.

Be warned though, that interface bumped my installer size up another 15mb.

YUCK, Fire Engine RED would be nicer.

Or check out the brown i did with NWA version 003 i believe. It came from FfH2.

 

[Hydromancerx]

That's all I can find at the moment. But I thought there was some other stuff.

Maybe I am just thinking of the "tradeable units" and the "longitude and latitude" stuff.

Tradable units is part of Advanced Diplomacy. Lat and Long is part of BULL 1.0.

No, I think it's the "Brown" interface that NWA uses too. It's really mostly red. I have no idea why it's called brown...

It's going through the final tests. I just need to make sure all the files get installed right, and that I didn't forget anything. Expect a upload in less than 1 hour.

Edit:

Hydromancer, I did remember one last thing I forgot to mention, I added some new construct sounds for a bunch of my buildings. Not all of them, but about 20.

 

[Soul oWar]

red brown.. who cares? as long as it's not the eye bleeding blue... lol

Nice 1 hour

 

[Hydromancerx]

It's nearly done, I just haven't dedicated any time to it recently.

So maybe it will be in for this weekend? *crosses fingers*

Ack 1 hour!? So it not getting in? Aww poo. How much is done? Can whats already done get put in?

Oh yeah. You mentioned that before with the sound.

 

[Afforess]

I mod in a linear fashion, so I do one XML file at a time. So, that means there is no art for them. No buttons either. No text entries. It would be pretty ugly.

Ooh, no more Granary sounds over and over again? Yay!

 

[TechXLtd]

Ooh awesome . I loved all the new sounds Zappara added to his buildings. What sound did you do for the NWS if any?

 

[Afforess]

I didn't add one for the NWS ( I couldn't think of one off hand) But I added sounds for a few military buildings, for all of the FireStorm buildings, For the education buildings and some of the NIMBY buildings. Oh and 1 sound effect for the Castle mod. That poor modmod never gets updated...

If you think you know of or have a 3-6second clip of a good sound effect for a building, PM me with it)

*twiddles fingers hoping it will be out any second*

 

[Afforess]

*twiddles fingers hoping it will be out any second*

I swear, every time I rebuild the installer, I find 1 tiny little error I will never let slide. Then I fix it, have to wait 3 minutes for the installer to rebuild, then install it, then test. It's like a 7 minute ordeal from finding a bug in the installer to checking to see if I fixed it...

*sitting with hands flat on my thighs and nodding*

Being a paragon of patience here .

 

[Afforess]

It's that time of year again, time for all you folks to beta test out the latest and greatest version of Afforess's Modmod's.

Strike that. The name just changed to A New Dawn! Afforess's Modmod's is no more. Long live A New Dawn! (The name will officially change once this round of beta testing is over.)

The new features list is on the OP.

But the real question you must be thinking now is: "Afforess, are you going to make us go through that ridiculous 10 rounds of beta's like last time?"

Of Course-Not!

This will be the last beta before the A New Dawn 1.5 release. The next beta will be for 1.6.

Also, one last honorable mention, this isn't really a "feature" per-se, but I added a new section to the Civilopedia, called "A New Dawn Concepts" Which should explain most of A New Dawns more interesting changes. Read it. Memorize it. Play it.

Also, unfortunately, there are a few bugs in this build. I know all about them. See the OP for a detailed listing.

What are you waiting for, that 70mb beta build isn't going to download itself!

 

[Hydromancerx]

Upcoming Features:

* Domesticated Animals
* Farming Modmod

How long until these get in? I know you said the weekend. Is this last update considered the weekend?

 

[Afforess]

Yeah. I knew you were going to comment...

Basically, I ran out of time. Don't panic though. On my to-do list, these things are just below the bug fixes. I don't have anything else on my plate then.

 

[Soul oWar]

nice work gonna test soon

Ok becuase you said ...

Rest assured though, I refuse to release a new beta without the Domesticated Animals Modmod. I want to get it in so you can tell me if I forgot anything (and with a modmod as big as this one, I'm sure I will)

So I was not expecting anything until Saturday or Sunday.
