Until the box at the top of the forum is restored, this is stickied. Thanks BigJoe. :) :thumbsup:
Speaking of that, what happened to b323? Unless I've just gone plain insane, there was a b323 on there at one point. It's been working fine for me, and I can't recall any of the other builds ever being taken down. Is there some reason I shouldn't be using it?
Well i've also got b323, but i suspect not for long. ;(
The way the repository is currently set up is that any time any dev commits files to a special output folder, a new build is published. To prevent a build from getting published, I then just uncheck the box next to the files in the output folder, so that they don't get copied from my computer to the repository.
Simple, right?
Well, there's a bug in my repository client that occasionally causes the files to be uploaded anyway; when that happens I occasionally go manually into the build SQL database and undo the publish.
So yeah, go ahead and keep the build; I didn't intend to publish it, but there's nothing gravely wrong with it, to my knowledge. It's just even more untested than usual ;)
Can someone please post a link to the latest build in a normal, unzipped folder. My computer has a major bug (so major it won't even display the start menu) and I can only open things with task manager, and that only recognizes unzipped folders. So once again I implore, please someone post an unzipped folder for the latest build.
you can't upload folders that contain files =) its a limitation of teh popular internet transfer protocol (FTP ?)
you must compress the folder and its contents into a single file.
Can you download winzip? It will open the files for you.
I have winzip, but the thing is I couldn't acsess it. But my computer fixed itself this morning, so please disregard the previous message and I apologize for the first post.
Linux build updated.
hey koopa, the changes from the next build have merged with the changes in the linux build you released.
EDIT: Oh I see. That's a consequence of the way the automatic publishing works; it assumes that when you publish a build, it includes all of the changes up to that time. Let me go in and manually fix 319.
