Title: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: fromhell on May 28, 2008, 04:00:58 PM I love the 0.7.x generation.
Anyway, this is mainly a bugfix release. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you upgrade from 0.7.6 to 0.7.7 (or rather, from 0.7.1 to 0.7.6 to 0.7.7 for half of you) - Fixed "Getting stuck bug" - Fixed logging bug - Fixed UI crash - Fixed overflow in Multiplayer list + Some of beast's changes to server list (longer names) - Instantgib and All rockets disabled during single player startup - Clears nextmap after single player - Windows only: new SDL.dll allows Caps Lock and Num Lock to be used as keys. - Using protocol number 69, this should only now show servers running 0.7.7 (In other words, no more lotsofservers with 'invalid game folder' error) Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released!

Download the 0.7.6 release, then download the patch. Extract 0.7.6, then extract the patch over it. Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: jackoverfull on May 28, 2008, 05:27:55 PM very well. :-)
remember, mac users: to correctly install this patch you must overwrite both your OpenArena application in oa main folder and the pak7-patch.pk3 inside baseoa. Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: danj0r on May 28, 2008, 06:52:49 PM AusGamers mirrors for these are now up

great job all the people working on this one! Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released!

Download the 0.7.6 release, then download the patch. Extract 0.7.6, then extract the patch over it. i already have the 0.7.6 release - ive been (trying) to play it for a couple of weeks now! so if i download this patch thingy - what do i do next its a zip file so i can guess the rest but where do in unzip it to?? Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: sago007 on May 29, 2008, 12:34:50 PM its a zip file so i can guess the rest but where do in unzip it to?? The zip file contains a folder called openarena-0.7.6 that should overwrite your current openarena-0.7.6. Make sure that you overwrite the existing files replacing the files that needs replacement.Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released!

Its been quite a few weeks since 7.6 and still most of the servers are 7.1 ...... Is it worth it to upgrade now? Will this mean that once again playing online is basically not possible?

Post by: jackoverfull on May 31, 2008, 04:48:04 AM But its still the same that with 7.7 you cannot play on servers with older versions, right? right. and multi-version online playing isn't something that will be introduced soon in oa (f at all).Quote Is it worth it to upgrade now? the soon the better.Quote Will this mean that once again playing online is basically not possible? as people updates we will have more playable games online.Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: Narses on May 31, 2008, 12:33:09 PM good work,
but that fu mouse i've never seen....is here some chance, it will be in normal?? Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: kilgore on May 31, 2008, 04:46:58 PM hmmm ok.... so I just have to get used to the idea of having all 3 versions at once for a while...
Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: kilgore on June 01, 2008, 04:08:50 AM SO now I have the patch for mac... it would be really nice if these things came with *clear* instructions on how to install them. What do I do with all of those files? I now have so many baseOA folders from all the different recent versions and I don't know what to replace with what.
You say "overwrite files that need to be overwritten".... how do I know which ones that is? Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: sago007 on June 01, 2008, 04:20:31 AM You say "overwrite files that need to be overwritten".... how do I know which ones that is? Well it is a 0.7.6->0.7.7 patch so it is 0.7.6 that should overwritten. All files from the patch will overwrite an old file. If a file does not need to be overwritten then it will not be in the patch. Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released!

What do I do with all of those files? I now have so many baseOA folders from all the different recent versions and I don't know what to replace with what. on mac you just need to replace the OpenArena application (in the game's main folder) and pak7-patch.pk3 (in the baseoa that is in the same folder of the application).You say "overwrite files that need to be overwritten".... how do I know which ones that is? Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: kilgore on June 02, 2008, 01:53:22 AM Thank you jack, for the clear, understandable-for-non-programmer instructions :)

Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: kilgore on June 03, 2008, 06:53:01 AM funny though, now that the majority of servers have switched to 7.6 we have a new update... I certainly expect that once all servers are finally on 7.7 we will have another update so playing online remains frustrating :P (ha ha ha)
Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: kit89 on June 03, 2008, 08:16:30 AM Quote funny though, now that the majority of servers have switched to 7.6 we have a new update... I certainly expect that once all servers are finally on 7.7 we will have another update so playing online remains frustrating Tongue (ha ha ha) That's what happens with a game that is still heavily in development. Though now that the worst bugs from 0.7.6 have been resolved with 0.7.7 patch. The next major update will most likely be the 0.8.0 release. :) Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: sago007 on June 03, 2008, 08:30:38 AM funny though, now that the majority of servers have switched to 7.6 we have a new update... I certainly expect that once all servers are finally on 7.7 we will have another update so playing online remains frustrating :P (ha ha ha) Originally it was the plan to just add an extra pak-file, so that 0.7.7 would be backwards compatible to 0.7.6 (like 0.7.0 and 0.7.1). However a few things required engine changes: UI crash and protocol, so it was not to be. I have a strong feeling that there will be an 0.8.1 a month or so after 0.8.0 just like 0.7.0-0.7.1 and 0.7.6-0.7.7 but I hope it can just be pk3 patches. And the way I think it can be archived is by freezing the engine a lot earlier than 0.7.6 Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: jackoverfull on June 03, 2008, 09:32:03 AM i don't think so. oa 0.8 still needs a lot of work to be ready...right?
Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: kilgore on June 03, 2008, 09:34:32 AM Well I guess development is always good.... though I'm a bit weary about putting my laptop in the freezer....

And the way I think it can be archived is by freezing the engine a lot earlier than 0.7.6 imo we need to prepare a release and then playtest it for a week or two. i'm pretty sure most of the bugs would get squashed. the aim must be to make a 0.8.0 version that replaces all the old versions so we don't get a divided community. it would benefit openarena a lot, i think :> Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: cosmo on June 03, 2008, 03:17:29 PM Let's have a real testing phase before releasing 0.8
Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: jackoverfull on June 03, 2008, 03:46:45 PM i agree: a solid 0.8.0 would be a real benefit to oa.
Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: fromhell on June 03, 2008, 08:38:01 PM Testing for 0.8.0 could begin August 1, where 0.8.0 RC1 would roll out then.
RC1 would probably be a reduced quality release to discourage the spread of it, news, and more version conflicts Also during testing there may be some demo recording fun involved because I want to include a few demos to ship with OA to demonstrate the game with humans playing rather than bots as well as some benchmark tests. Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: jackoverfull on June 03, 2008, 10:14:16 PM ok, but i have to inform that i may not be available on middle august and middle july for the compile (on july i will stay a week totally without my macs with some friends and on august i will pass some time in japan, leaving the macs at home...).
i should be able to be there on august 1 and other dates, as long i know the date some time before. Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: kilgore on June 04, 2008, 01:53:46 AM I hate to bring up a bug, but it seems that in 7.7 mac version, the game consistently stalls when logging into a server. I get all the way to "awaiting snapshot..." and then it never goes any further. However, if I exit and then log in again it goes fine. Always have to do it twice. what gives?
Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: jackoverfull on June 04, 2008, 07:28:45 AM no idea...on my mac this doesn't happen...
you may try to reset openarena (trashing the folder "OpenArena" that is inside your user's "Library>Application Support" folder). also, maybe you should try on another network configuration. Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: kilgore on June 04, 2008, 01:44:56 PM thanks, i'll try it... just not sure which one is which (7.1 or 7.7).... still want my 7.1 files...
buts I guess no hurry... there are no 7.7 CTF servers yet where my ping is below 150 so until then I'll be waiting anyway! Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released!

I defenatly getting stuck to other players, i think its when the other player just respawned but Im not sure as it happens in the heat of the battle I pay more attention to the game as to bugs therefore I ask: Did someone else have the same problem in patch 0.7.7? How Did it happen to you? Reply please so we all can help out in making this game better. *getting stuck bug is NOT fixed imho* (and DONT say it is another getting stuck bug) You either get stuck to a player or dont get stuck. Like I sed before (somewhere) Im not ta techie. But I like to help out if/when I can Title: Re: 0.7.7 patch released! Post by: rancid punx on July 15, 2008, 03:47:07 PM to be honest i NEVER stick to players since i got the 0.7.7 patch
but the play is still very choppy hopefully this is going to get sorted in the next version as its a real mess IMO |
