What playtest version to use?

[Qumad Al-Riyf]

Hello, and thanks for the effort your all making here.

But this page is confusing me abut here...

I went to Files -> Source Code Project -> Playtest Build 2004-04-03

Then I folowd the link to the forum there, and there was a newer playtest file, so I thought that's the one, but at the verry last post it says:

Em, there is a new Playtest thread in the forum in case you haven't noticed
You can even quote from this thread to the new one with a simple copy-paste

Consider this thread as closed

Added by Locutus: For clarity's sake, that thread is here: http://apolyton.net/showthread.php?threadid=115144

So I whent there and there is said:

[Note that this version is obsolete. The next version is available here.]

And it keeps going like that for a couple of times...

At the end of that thread it says that it's a new thread again.


So I'm kinda confused here, could someone help me out and point me to the file I should download?


PS. maby it would be an idea to keep newest verion in the "Files" section on the main page, and change away the link in the Build 2004-04-03 that's pointing to a thread that is no longer in use.

And starting a new thread where the first message was allways containing the latest version, so dumb ppl like me could get out hands on the goods aswell

You're right on that one, though syncing the directory is harder somewhat. Still, hopefully Locutus can point his attention to this, as it is seriously outdated now.

I'm pretty sure that this is the latest version: http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/~guehman...2.Playtest.rar
Dated March 5th, so it's only two weeks old.

In the last 2004 builds, a problem occured when the game would slow down a LOT if playing with more than one continent. Apparently, this problem is reduced in the last build, but be warned that the game might be slow if you play a water map.

The post with changes in this build compared to the last one (28th Dec 2004): http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...67#post3658167

Thanks for the quick reply m8

Is that the same thread we are to report bugs in aswell?

Not to be demanding but I would like to throw out another tip,
Having a list of the reported bugs in the first post aswell, that way ppl can see if the bug they have experienced is already reported and so on.

Yes that's the general playtesting thread. As you can see, people report their experiences/ideas and bugs there, too. A link to the newest version in the first post is a good idea, but as for reported bugs there... it would probably be too time consuming. Actually, when you play, just post all the bugs, good and bad things in that thread, it will only help the project.
