Am I doing something wrong?
« on: March 07, 2009, 06:30:21 pm »
Hey I really love the game and all but I'm really curious. It seems that the UFOs never land. I always loved going to landed UFOs because you got more from them and the aliens were more predictable... Lol. But I've never seen a UFO land. Also I keep seeing people talk about fighters and scouts but I've never seen fighters and only one scout all I see are lots and lots of harvesters and supply ships. Is there a reason for this?

2.2.1 doesn't have most of that.

2.2.1 is the version on sourceforge - much of the talk around here deals with the coming 2.3 (which isn't on sourceforge, because it isn't finished yet).

There are links in the forum to test builds of 2.3, but because it isn't finished it has bugs and other issues, although it does have many new features.

If you want the new features you can download a 2.3 development build, but be aware that it won't be stable and can crash, etc., and is more for bug-testing than playing.

You can also install both 2.2.1 and 2.3 at the same time, I don't think they conflict as long as they are put in separate folders/directories.

I'm a bit confused as to how to get the latest development build. Do I have to checkout the project through SVN? Do I then have to compile it myself? Thanks for the help

--EDIT: Nevermind I found it. Thnx for the help. Great game guys.

Hi Sarudak,

Yes, if u r thinking of using the latest dev Revision, u have to in summary:
1) checkout the project
2) Compile it (codes and workspace) - using CB (Codeblocks).
3) Compile the maps
4) If u r compiling the installer, compile the pk3s, the NSIS scripts too.

For more check out the wikis. :)
Or post a question specific to the area stumped ok? I am sure alot of nice folks here will help.
