new download begla-Blockmania-8feff3d

[metouto]

On Github begla said today on network ....

Here comes a big one!
- Adds tool item prototype
- Adds axe and pick axe to the inventory by default
- Re-enables physics by default and modifies default block tool accordingly
- Adds explosion item to the inventory by default
- Adds some more advanced lighting effects to the chunk shader
- Rewrites the way custom blocks are created
- ... and much more

this leads me to 2 questions ....

1) will the download have in it what is talked about in the above quote or is that setting up for the future things?

Make sure to update Blockmania daily (and to remove your saved world when you're upgrading). We're currently advancing rapidly gameplay-wise.

2) the above quote was given to me by begla and I would love to keep up to date .... I would guess I would put the new download ... 8feff3d .... in with the other download 95F60ea and my 5e2bfb6 download

or have I done it all wrong :? :? :? :?

and thanks for helping a complete newby with such easy :roll: problems for you all

I don't recall exactly when the downloadable game is updated - whenever there's a check-in to GitHub you can get the latest via Git/IntelliJ and run the game from source and have the latest and greatest

Generally you probably don't want to juggle several different downloads on your system. If you want to keep up to date with the lastest, use the DevSetup page and run straight from source, it isn't actually too bad

So this is not the place to get the newest and greatest ????

and if I download from above I end up with this because the only way to launch it is with the launcher ....

Generally you probably don't want to juggle several different downloads on your system. If you want to keep up to date with the lastest, use the DevSetup page and run straight from source, it isn't actually too bad

do you mean here ..... http://wiki.movingblocks.net/Main/DevSetup

and do these steps ......

Steps

Download & register for the following (if you don't already have them handy)
Download a recent Java SDK - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... index.html
Latest 1.6 or even the new 1.7 should work
The OpenAL library is needed to make the game sound work
Download from http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/ ... Items.aspx
Note: This may no longer be needed as the OpenAL DLLs are included in the code
Git for source control - http://git-scm.com/download
Pick the option to run Git from the Windows Command Prompt (middle option) and check out windows, commit unix
You can otherwise follow the install steps at this tutorial: http://help.github.com/win-set-up-git/
IntelliJ for IDE - http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download
Be sure to pick the free community edition
Sign up for GitHub - https://github.com/signup/free
Keep following the steps at http://help.github.com/win-set-up-git/ to set up your SSH key in particular
Optional: Download Groovy (only needed for some dev tasks) - http://groovy.codehaus.org/Download


I am sorry for being such a pain


edit 12/29/2011 3:11 am ... have been downloading things and trying to do things right as I understand them to be but after working on this for 3 hrs (???) I find it is way beyond my understanding so ..... I will just go back to my corner and play with the latest release and pray I have not messed (???) anything up


I should say that I did see we have newAdds tool item axe, pick axe, a light for digging in the dark and an inventory to collect (but not craft ???) and hold stuff. Each box holds 16 of an item (?)


looks real good to me

The dev setup probably can be sort of tricky if you've never had to deal with source control or IDEs like IntelliJ.

I'm not sure when the GitHub downloadable is updated, but the nightly build might be a more sure thing since it is, well, nightly!

game :!: :!: :!:
