Goobers first post says "Linux builds uploaded shortly"

Where are they?

[mikearthur]

As well as that, it would be nice to have the source zip or tarball used to build 3.6.9, for those of us who want to build from source but not use the CVS version.

The source tarball is here: http://fs2source.warpcore.org/exes/linux/fs2_open-3.6.9.tar.bz2

I had redone the Linux builds earlier this week, when I was helping out with the BtRL installers, so I'll get the Linux installer posted at some point this weekend.

Sweet!

Without further ado, here are the links:
The über Windows pack, containing FS2, FRED, and the Launcher
The Mac OS X universal binary
Linux installer for x86/x86_64 builds

OpenAL is required, if you don't have it installed already.

The OpenAL version from the 1st post of this thread :
http://developer.creative.com/articles/article.asp?cat=1&sbcat=31&top=38&aid=46&file=OpenALwEAX.exe

will produce errors on Window 9x/ME and on some instances of Freespace 2, i suggest this 1st post to be edited to point users to the version 1.1 of OpenAL instead of the old buggy one,

The correct OpenAL 1.1 can be found here :
http://developer.creative.com/articles/article.asp?cat=1&sbcat=31&top=38&aid=46
or the direct download link

Ooh!  A newbie troubleshooting with his first post!  Cool!



 - Enjoy your stay!

Err, hmm.... do you want The Welcome Speech^TM?  Or have you seen it already?

EDIT: @karajorma:  Could this be the cause of some of the errors with FS Illegal operations problems lately?

[karajorma]

Don't ask me.

[jr2]

But your a coder.  Y'know, border-line god?

[karajorma]

I avoid both the sound and graphics code whenever I can. Along with all the rest of the code for that matter.

[jr2]

Oh dear... well, is that because you prefer to FRED?  Or are you busy ?  (Horror!)

[Turey]

Oh dear... well, is that because you prefer to FRED?  Or are you busy ?  (Horror!)

Nah, he's just not a very good C++ coder. 

I'd hate to have a Java coding contest with him though. (I'd lose, badly  .)

[karajorma]

Nah, he's just not a very good C++ coder. 

Basically, yes. I haven't done much work with C apart from the FS2 engine.

[jr2]

I'd hate to have a Java coding contest with him though. (I'd lose, badly  .)

... did he help out with the Installer?

[Turey]

No, but he gets paid to do Java coding, and I don't.

[jr2]

Ah.. cool.  So, @kara: is there a way to get that Windows Installer down under 20 MB?  The Java version is 20 KB, I think the size difference is ridiculous.  @Turey: Not to be offensive or anything... just wondering if kara had any ideas.

[karajorma]

I'm not touching the installer. I think Turey's done a great job with it and all but I just don't have the time.

[sfried]

So...have there been any fixes to the OpenGL interface bugs? Exiting the game has been pretty tiring for me...Plus I can't load any missions on the Mission Simulator cause I'm just second guessing everything. (I'm assuming I have to wait another year before VP 3.7.0 gets released)

And I think of the missile launching from Nephelim causes the slowdown.

ogg cutscenes

There, because mdb maxes out sometimes.

[Tahna Los]

Are there any known issues with AMD Athlon X2 processors (namely a 4400) or ATI Hardware (namely an ATI 1900XTX)?  I have been trying to install 3.6.9 on a friend's computer but it hangs when you run the program.  No log files whatsoever.

Otherwise, the only thing I can think of is whether or not 3.6.9 still maintains MVE support.  When I gave him a DVD containing all the FS2_open upgrades and related campaigns and stuff like that, it contained the MVE files and not the newer OGG cutscenes (I burned the DVD about 6 months ago, it had 3.6.9 RC9, I copied the entire DVD to his FS2 folder then downloaded 3.6.9).

[jr2]

Well, SCP supports .MVE files still... I still tell ppl to copy them off of the retail discs if they are available, it saves bandwidth.
