I talked with IPA and we decided that "b" was needed to avoid "which version" confusion.

OK I think I've got the last of the fixes and updates for TBP v3.4b.

The big hang up on v3.4b is getting it compiled, the vp editing tools are giving me some trouble. (i've already communicated the issues to IPA, we are working on it ) Maybe we can have it sorted in a week or two, real life may cause delays with the holidays and all.

So hopefully (but not promising) v3.4b will be out before Christmas

P.S. - Santa may bring an extra little stocking stuffer too... a TBP DVD

cool.

What can we expect for the "b" version ?

[IPAndrews]

Nothing new. More stability. Less bugs.

[karajorma]

If you're compiling the VPs again I recommend not having any VPs with more than 4000 files in it so that tools like ModelView will work with them. BtRL also ran into a few problems with anti-virus and the like which were also most likely due to the large VP size (They never affected the same people using FS2_Open for instance).

Look forward to it

and nameplates

[Vidmaster]

the nameplates by skullar will be integrated? great, less file size for my next campaign.

Will we get the new BtrL glide code? PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE ??? 

[IPAndrews]

Not sure. Karajorma could answer that since he kindly compiled us some new executables.

[jr2]

Sw3333t.  When it is released, let me know... I'll re-up it to FileFront in my funky way.  (turds.. they've got something against files labeled "The Babylon Project" )

Looks like I'll have to use another cypher code rather than Pig Latin... they trashed my Ethay Abylonba Ojectpra 3.4a upload.  to them.  Maybe I'll name it it's own MD5 hash, just to make them sputter.

[Skullar]

and please ask karajorma and taylorif they can get the no-glowmaps-with-texture-replacement-bug  fixed till then.

You got lucky. I didn't have enough space on my hard drive to download the 3.6.9 branch again so I just swapped icons on the BtRL build and compiled that for IP Andrews

[Vidmaster]

so that means yes?


STRIKE!

BtrL

Beyond the Red Line. The Battlestar Galactica mod.

hmmm.... Thanks Kara as always but to make it clear. My priority is and always has been stability and bug fixes. To that end the AI class bug fix is much, much more important than the BTRL glide code.

[karajorma]

Yeah, I added that before I compiled it.

You should have all the bug fixes you asked for. The BtRL changes were rather minor and by now have been pretty heavily tested anyway. Consider it a bonus.

[Vidmaster]

a much appreciated bonus!  What exaclty is that AI_Class Bug? The one that let the whitestars be a sitting duck?

[karajorma]

The one that prevented you from having Vorlon Fighters in missions.

[IPAndrews]

And a myriad of other ships actually. About half of them. I was suprised so few people complained about it. Thanks for the builds Kara.

[Vidmaster]

is that AI_class bug the reason for FRED's crash every time I set the player's ship to a Drazi Sky Serpent or a shadow fighter, or ... ???  I will need some of those possibilities in the near future...
