Lunar Mod - pre Alpha thread

[GeoModder]

Right, here are some screenies.
Looking good on overall of course. See the white flags (as UBI)
Worldbuilder opened without a sweat, and I pinpointed the freeze bug a bit more.
It happens when I scroll my mouspointer to the bottom right of the screen, I think when it highlight the civs.

What screenies? Where? Which? Who? How? Why?

Just waiting for confirmation from DSquared!

And, there's no more crash-on-quit bug! I fixed the final bug I'd noticed, and the game plays smoothly!

Come on DSquared! Sod it, if he doesn't reply soon I'll go ahead and do it anyway!

 

[GeoModder]

TGAs? There should be **no** TGAs anywhere! They should be *.dds files! WTH, GeoModder?

Easy on.

@Matthews: right, I'll delete them and see what will happen.

@JBG: Erm, don't you see the thumbnails in my post above?

 

[GeoModder]

Confirmed.

The mod freezes when I highlight my own nick in the game.
Also note the insane amount of points all the civs after less then 40 turns

That bug will have to wait till post alpha . Hopefully it only occurs for the UBI civilization or only on a small number of computers.

 

[GeoModder]

That's something I can check.

In any case, you guys did a tremendous job already, especially in such a short time. Except a few glitches here and there this baby is quite playable.

The points are cosmetic. The points assigned to techs, buildings, culture are all out of whack. Are you volunteering to clean them up?

 

[GeoModder]

*gloup*

 

[JBG]

It doesn't happen anywhere on my computer.

 

[woodelf]

I think we can come to terms that Geo's 32 megs of Video RAM are low, low end. It plays, but he'll have more issues than the rest of us. I only have 64 megs, but no problems.

 

[GeoModder]

Yeah, from the look of it cratered terrain is much nicer on your cards. Oh well, I'll see the full glory of this mod whenever I have another comp.

 

[JBG]

I get no crashes or missing art on my comp.

Are using the downloaded version of the mod from the alpha thread or your other version.

 

[JBG]

The downloaded version. I'm not quite that stupid!

 

[matthewv]

The downloaded version. I'm not quite that stupid!

Thats good to know. This confirms that the download in the alpha thread does work.

 

[JBG]

Anyway, I've updated the download link with MY version. Filegone finally worked! Woot!

 

[woodelf]

Yay, finally finished downloading matthewv's version. I'll see how she runs now that she's Alpha!

 

[woodelf]

FYI, I already put one replacement back as first row tech, namely "Chartra Selene" ("Moon Charter" or "Moon Articles") as a basic tech on how agencies/companies and such must operate on the moon. It links to "Public Liberties", as Woodelf wanted a pre-one for that.

Okay, I finally did this. This is why we need to write it down somewhere!

 

[JBG]

Er...

Since this is a PRE-Alpha thread, oughtn't we to ask for it to be closed? Or am I being pre-emptive here, given the number of errors the general public has unearthed in the SotM?

 

[woodelf]

It still has some good ideas.

How do you close a thread? PM a moderator?
