Yeah...soon I think.

Julius: Thanks for the interview and review. 

Anyways, thanks Softcoder and titi, finally 
I hope you got that issue fixed though...anyways yes, we can think about other features now...
One problem now, does this mean I have to download the whole installer again? If so...oh well.

Where is the release though where it is with out the data such as the megapack...etc.  oh well.

Thanks again, sweet. I guess all that testing came out to this finally.

I was using the 3.3.5 beta version before, I downloaded just the data files (linux 32 bit, for kubuntu 10.04), and copied them in megaglest dir, but when I run the game it still says 3.3.5 beta 12.

The MegaGlest logo has changed a bit, so I think the game has been updated, not sure though. How can I check the version of game?

Update: Just found the info in other post, I tried running ./glest.bin --version to check game version but this is the error I got:

Code:

./glest.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxerces-c.so.28: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director

The games runs fine though (except for the fact that I haven't been able to see any games in 'internet' section).

[softcoder]

Try this:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH bin/glest.bin --version

Thanks

[aqeeliz]

Try this:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH bin/glest.bin --version

Thanks

Thanks, it worked, here is the output:

Code:

v3.3.5-beta12 built: Jun 24 2010 07:54:36 Compiled with GNUC: 40204, STREFLOP enabled.

Does this mean update data files didn't actually updated my game?

Yep, you're using the newest data with the same beta executable.

The 'data' is just the tech-tree / factions / tilesets / maps / and menu/loading images.

You need the 'binaries' package (for your platform) from the first post too, that's the actual program.
