Ok, I'm about 90% done with the First Level Catacombs. I was also thinking of adding all the new game content to the 2.4.4b base. This would enable a number of bugfixes, updates and new game content without all the 2.7.5 bugs (and features). I think this would introduce some compitabillity errors, mainly script bugs and some particle effects.

Sounds good. Keep up the good work. Smile

I still wonder though why 2.4.4b works on my computer while 2.7.5 doesn't...

Yes, that would be nice. It's what I used to play K'nife's Heist.

Phew. Final puzzle is finished. Sometimes I surprise myself with my scripting abillities. This ought to be one of the most advanced I've worked yet:

Could you post the .zip or .rar so we can play it on either version?
Coz this sounds awesome! Great work!

I'm about 99% done. Checking through the final stuff and making the final treasure chamber Smile

I made the module for the 2.7.x branch so it will work best there (Flawless as far as I've seen). In 2.4.4b there will be texture bugs and a few AI errors. But the module should be fully playable.

Finished! I discovered some bugs that only appear in the older 2.4.4b version:

- Background effects are missing, making pits look messy
- Some AI scripts are missing (nothing bad)
- The wrong music is played at all times
- Some specific objects do not spawn (nothing important)
- Various coloring of different textures are less quality or inverted
- Sliding down pits doesnt work. Slopes are treated as flat ground.
- The grand start effect scene uses particles not existing in 2.4.4b

So if you want the full atmospheric experience, it should be played with the 2.7.x branch! (I really used a lot of time on the starting scene!, so it's in the least worthwhile to try it in 2.7.x, even if it is a little buggy).

Are the current downloads updated or something?

No not yet. I'm currently working on getting 2.7.5c ready for a release. Ill then look into getting the new stable 2.4.x release ready. I had some problems with my laptop stopped working, disabling me from coding anything with c++ (All my coding stuff was there). Including the loss of utilities and programs such as uploaders, editors and install makers with all their settings.

All this slows down progress (Luckly I managed to backup the HD for most important stuff).

Zefz: do you commit your updates to SVN? If so is it the one of Sourceforge?

Progress makes me feel guilty for doing absolutely nothing.
