Preview code update

Marc Duffy · 03-02-2007, 02:39 PM

Ok, thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered so far.

On Monday, we'll be selecting the 100 people to get limited code. Still time to pre-order ... it could be you!!

Today, we sent preview code out to online commishes that I contacted earlier in the week plus some other selected individuals (so you may start seeing feedback from some people soon)

Thanks for all your continued support guys!

I love how it is called "Preview Code" and not a "game" yet.

Makes it sound like people will be receiving a bunch of "if, then" statements in an e-mail..hehe

Marc Duffy · 03-02-2007, 02:57 PM

How did you guess?

You just need to figure out how to compile it, in order to run it.

bulldog55 · 03-02-2007, 03:20 PM

And people complained about last year's interface....

Hotwheelz · 03-02-2007, 03:39 PM

Bdog....you've got me scared with that comment, lol.

chimanbj · 03-02-2007, 03:52 PM

Code is cool...I was wondering if there was going to a port to the SAS programming language...

Bishop · 03-02-2007, 03:57 PM

IF you want to download the preview THEN click the link ELSE don't?

BusterKing · 03-02-2007, 04:29 PM

Good idea, great pr work.

This company named Tripwire gave away a whole bunch of beta keys about one month before their full release of "Red Orchestra" game, public sure appreciated it. When the full game was released, the betas would no longer work, they needed to buy the game.

And some of us would really be interested in seeing those "if, then" statements, including myself.

Marc, should we be checking our email, PM's, or will you be listing the lucky 100 on the board?

Bishop · 03-02-2007, 05:25 PM

Hopefully some love for the true believers who preordered by the first deadline, without all the lovely RTR goodies for enticement

Joe Canadian · 03-02-2007, 05:33 PM

Marc, when should we be seeing the preview forums up?

You may want to follow-up with this guy:

Quote:

I told the game to install to my E:\ partition where my program files are. This seemed to confuse it in a number of ways. Since I only really care how OOTPB 2007 works with my online league, I immediately tried to import a copy of my current OOTPB 2006 league file. I use the word “try” because I have to use the word “fail” to describe the process so far.

Why can’t we get a normal Windows Explorer interface when we look for files on our hard drives in OOTPB? And why can’t I select the correct directory where my online league file resides in OOTPB 2007? OOTPB 2007 installed a bunch of stuff on my C:\ partition. Don’t know why – because I told the game to install on E:\. So when I go to try and import my league file, the game defaults to something under My Documents. I hit the explore button, go to the weird version of Windows Explorer that doesn’t let me drop down directories, but I click away until I find the correct folder under my OOTPB folders. I find my world.dat file, click on it, and…nothing. The sad part is that the “explore” button doesn’t mean that it will change the directory that it is looking in for the league file to import. It sort of teases by letting you know it knows where the correct directory is, but it’s not changing its My Documents ways.

Did anybody with multiple hard drives and partitions try and import a league file during beta testing? Since I am not copying my league file onto my operating system partition, it may be a while before I have something to say about OOTPB 2007.

Because I only care how it runs my online league…

Why doesn't OOTP use the default Windows interface when loading files, etc.?

They are already in place for a select set of invited people, and more should get access Monday.

This might be related, from Marc's preview email:
Please let me know your name on the forums so I can assign you access to read and post in this forum.
