Prerelease 3.173 (Bugfixes, Children Of Neinzul Beta Opens!)

[keith.lamothe]

Oh, oops, looks like the directory structure got a bit gummed up there, sorry   I'll have to leave the resolution of that to Chris, but I'm sure that won't be long in coming.

In the meantime, yes, the structure is supposed to look like:

(ai war path)\Expansions\2
(ai war path)\Expansions\2\Version.txt
(ai war path)\Expansions\2\Images\
(ai war path)\Expansions\2\Music\
(ai war path)\Expansions\2\Language\

thank you. ^_^

I'm already enjoying what i see for the crazy looking maps. O_O

[keith.lamothe]

Yea, I'm really happy with the way the concentric-circles and x-shaped maps came out   They're good examples of the intense ends of the path-length spectrum; c-circles has rather long paths from homeworld to homeworld, and x-shaped has rather short ones.  I also like geometric map types in general.

This is a nice update to return to after a nice long vacation

Looking forward to test it soon

Thanks for all the support, all! We'll have a new 3.174 release out this morning with a few fixes including that directory thing for the expansion -- sorry about that! For now, the workaround posted earlier in this thread will indeed get you goin until 3.174 comes out. Lots more coming today in general -- exciting times!

Awesome

It seems trial mode is activated for me when I activate the expansion. Is there an option of buying it on steam now? (I have turned into a steam junkie, I seem to get most stuff on there now a days... )

[keith.lamothe]

Right now it's just our store, but we'll be asking steam for the usual register-outside-key-in-steam functionality as exists for AI War, TZR, and Tidalis

Edit: and we'll be going for putting CoN on sale on Steam for the official release (if not earlier), of course, it's just not there yet.

Well after seeing the maps, and the insanely quick responses and promise of patching I've bought my key. ^_^ *winks*

Credit to Keith, and x4000. =P!!

Anyway, you know the X map. Why not make a H map as well? =P

O_O! with like Pentagons or circles on each end with a planet in the middle of the circles.

It'd be interesting, at least I would think so. Doubt it'd be hard to make.

I logged in for duty, suited and geared up, and was briefed on my new tour of duty. Who could pass up all that action for that kind of entrance fee?

The extraneous "2" directory threw things a bit off, but was easily rectified and I am now registered for the complete AI Wars package. Yay!  You know...I was thinking after staring at the intro screen that it would be really cool to have a screensaver mode with the background. Maybe throw in some distant parallaxing stars and some minor options for cloud coloration. Perhaps just a button to temporarily hide the Menu and return to it with the Esc key or something. Just a thought...

Anyway...thanks for another mega-pack full of action and I'll be looking forward to watching this one bloom out of control like the last expansion. *laffs*

Thanks for all the support, guys!
