Beta Imminent - Start Your Stopwatches

Work

Another good day of Core tweaks:

Jump doesn't always work
When running on a bumpy terrain you can trigger a hurt sound. This should not happen (it's not that painful!)
Water splash plays when you are clearly not near the water
Sometimes when fall from great height, it does not hurt at all

Also lots of testing, which fortunately did not bring up any new issues, which is always nice. My aim is to start the final beta upload(s) before midnight so you all you UK users will be expecting a download around 3AM if you are still up by then :) US users have a more civilized download time of 9PM (ish).

Play

From Saturday I am away for a week to recharge the old batteries. My idea of a recharge is to throw myself off mountains at some speed (whilst conducting research into physics and terrains).



During that time I encourage you to bash the ballast from the beta and have some juicy feedback for me on my return, when I will continue working on Core features. That is, if I make it back ;)

  3. I was about to activate all your BETA links when I found a show stopper, so I, er, stopped the show. New installer made and tested, upload started again so I should be ready to try again in 2 hours (2AM GMT UK). Gives me two more hours of testing ;)

    2. Sound's good :)

      By the way, what time-zone is your blog set to? Although not really important... but for me its saying you posted that at 16:18 and I'm confused if its my Google settings doing it or local blog settings?

      Also have fun on your very-well-deserved holiday!

  5. Enjoy your holiday. Don't try any Bond maneuvers! Still waiting for the update, but will probably catch the update tomorrow by the looks.

  7. Unfortunately my Rift excitement has been haulted for the evening - I keep receiving the following error whenever I try and run in editor or run a saved game:

    runtime error 7023 - limb does not exist on line 27680

    This occurs with rift or non-rift executions?

    1. I've had this issue. Nothing to do with Rift, I don't have one :( It's a problem with an entity. Deleting the DBO object and the BIN file might work. It's definitely an issue with an object you are using, some old models seem to cause this error.

  8. * Jumping into water doesn't make a sound, only when you walk into it.
    * The blood hud doesn't seem to always go/fade away.
    * Objects sometimes fall right through the terrain in some cases.
    * When I opened the Stand Alone game it started me inside the terrain.

    Just a few things I noticed right away

  11. While I uninstalled 1.45 alpha - I did not delete everything in the folder. One I unistalled everything and deleted the folder first - everything is now working.

  12. I can second space123321. Once I uninstalled and deleted everything from 1.45 alpha then installed the newest beta, everything is working now.

  13. Finally got working after extensive deleting and uninstalling.Did a quick map to test and whilst I'm getting good frame rates ,walking and running has been dramatically slowed.Is this on purpose.Also has anyone tried any old entities since update before I start installing them.Thanks.

  14. Just to amend last comment I have realized you can set player speed.I cant wait for segments to be developed as well as some cool animations like fire/smoke etc.All in all coming together nicely.

  15. I think most issues here are caused by old entity files. You need to delete any old DBO and BIN files from your entity folders. This will ensure Reloaded re creates them in the correct format for this release.
    I have also found an issue where Reloaded seems to get stuck loading a previous build, and simply refuses to work. Normally if you can close the message screen off using the x in the top right corner of the message box, and then reload a level that works, that will fix it.
    Hopefully work will continue unabashed now Lee has had some Skiing fun ( I would call it torture, not that I have ever been able to go Skiing, lol). I think this update suffered a little with the deadline and perhaps needed a couple more days testing. I'm always willing to test early builds by the way :) If you need specific things testing!

  16. INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT OF WORK FROM HOME
    Work from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.

    Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline. You have to make a time schedule for yourself and stick to it. There will be a time frame of course for any job you take up and you have to fulfill that project within that time frame.

    There are many things that can be done working from home. A few of them is listed below that will give you a general idea about the benefits of this concept.

    Baby-sitting
    This is the most common and highly preferred job that Women & Men like doing. Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.

    Nursery
    For those who have a garden or an open space at your disposal and are also interested in gardening can go for this method of earning money. If given proper time and efforts nursery business can flourish very well and you will earn handsomely. But just as all jobs establishing it will be a bit difficult but the end results are outstanding.

    Freelance
    Freelance can be in different wings. Either you can be a freelance reporter or a freelance photographer. You can also do designing or be in the advertising field doing project on your own. Being independent and working independently will depend on your field of work and the availability of its worth in the market. If you like doing jewellery designing you can do that at home totally independently. You can also work on freelancing as a marketing executive working from home.

    Diet food
    Since now a days Women & Men are more conscious of the food that they eat hence they prefer to have homemade low cal food and if you can start supplying low cal food to various offices then it will be a very good source of income and not too much of efforts. You can hire a few ladies who will help you out and this can be a good business.

    Thus think over this concept and go ahead.
