Release Testing

The Patriot source code release is testing. If you would like to test the source code and give feedback on its usability, compatability and any errors you may encounter, you may download it here.

Changes so far
- All memory leaks fixed
- Both Debug and Release mode now work perfectly
- small error in cleanup resolved
- Icons added to executables
- source files updated to auto-include memory manager only on DEBUG builds, and not on RELEASE builds.
- main.ini scene changed. ship now visible, but other items are obscured. Not optimized for any kind of viewing
- jumpgate textures compressed
- Readme.txt now included

This is a "fix it" oriented release. There is no new content.

Release binaries are now availible for pure non-coding testers. If you just want to test to see if the game runs and want nothing to do with the source code, download this.

OLbinaries_patriot.zip

the executable is located in the EXE folder.

Well right now the executable should be mostly compatible. Just boot it up, select your video options from the Ogre rendering window and hit esc to exit from the static scene thats displayed. If it doesn't work, then its our fault so tell us about it and we will try to fix it.

Yeah, thats been a problem, your supposed to be able to view a scene. However, i have just put together an installer for it. I'm not entirely certain about the installer's stability, as i have yet to test it on another machine, but you can try it out if you want.

OLsetup_patriot.zip

That should install the nessacary prerequisites (which are actually just a single 30k DLL , stupid windows) that you need to play it. To uninstall go to add/remove programs and uninstall it from there.

EDIT: I got a few people to test out the installation - its worked and has solved the dependency problems!

sorry bout the lateness- yup the installer got it to the point where you select your render mode. I'm not getting into the actual scene though, it appears to be frozen/half drawn

no, its not frozen, its just not doing anything. I'm glad it worked - the next release will have a main menu you can interact with
