[Crystal-core] Crystal Core Prerelease of Tech Demo: testers wanted!

[Jorrit Tyberghein]

Soon I want to release the first tech demo of Crystal Core. But before
we do that I would like more people to test Crystal Core. So I made a
binary package for windows that should be relatively easy to install
(the real tech demo release will use an installer). You can download
the two needed packages here:

http://www.crystalspace3d.org/downloads/crystalcore/celstart_cc.zip
http://www.crystalspace3d.org/downloads/crystalcore/crystalcore.zip

Extract both archives in the same dir (so you get a 'celstart' and a
separate 'CC' directory on same toplevel). Then use the 'start.cmd'
(or 'start.sh' if you're on mingw) script to start CC.

Let me know how things go.

It seems to work just fine!
Thanks!

Greetings,
Anders

why is there an empty celstart.cfg file in the root directory of the
crystalcore.zip file?

I was hoping to have a look at this on my linux box, but haven't had any
luck getting it to work using the celstart for linux from the
crystalspace site. Is the celstart you've included in the zip here
different?

Yes, it is based on latest trunk. 1.0 celstart is not sufficient for
CC. Easiest on linux is to just build celstart on your own.

I'm getting very little feedback. I would also like to hear from
people who managed to use it well with no problems.

Hi! I also tested it with svn celstart and seems to work pretty well.
Only noticeable problem i had is when resizing the window the aim
pointer and aiming go totally off (starts aiming at random places and
also the pointer goes somewhere else).

though)

One small issue.

In menu: Settings:System then click back expect to be back in Settings
but goes back to main menu. Other than that it seemed to worked fine. It
looks great and has come a long way since i saw it last.

Great work.

Brendon.

[Bjorn Hansen]

erm, yea, I reported this back in November
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=37503996) but
there was not bug tracker at that time. . . kinda illustrates the need
for one mb.

Looks like there might be one now though:
http://crystalspace3d.org/main/Bugs
but there are no tickets there, so I'm a bit skeptical as to whether it
is used or not?
