(st) Rivecoder · **Posted:** Thu Dec 18, 2008 10:39 pm

We're almost ready to release 97d3! In this marathon, we'll test out Terminator. If there aren't any last-minute bugs, we'll hopefully release 97d3 in time for Christmas!

WHAT TO DOWNLOAD

Build 1848 (Windows | FreeBSD | Ubuntu) and SkullDizzle.
You might want to update your IDE while you're at it.

WHERE TO GO

It will take place on Saturday, December 20th, 2008, from 11 AM to 2 PM, Central Time (GMT -6). Look for the "TESTING MARATHON" servers, and join them!

See you there!

I'll try to be there, but i can't make any promises. Let's just hope, the sever will be up, and running on time. :nod:

Is there a changelog of what's new in this version? Or will that wait until the official release?

Why, yes there is. Next time, try looking though the forums.

FYI, that's the log of the changes since the last marathon test binaries. The changelog from 97d2 is much, much longer.

Half an hour and nobody's hosting it, so I tried to host a temporary unofficial server myself.

However, I keep encountering "ERROR: No Blue team starts!".

I'm assuming I need to set it up so that it has custom teams. Hold on, going to figure out how to do this...

Terminator shouldn't need team starts.

Oops! I got it to work. I was doing something very wrong. Anyways, a temporary test server is now up.

Dude, your server is set up as Skulltag, NOT Terminator. You need to change that.

Ah damnit...I gotta go somewhere. I hope this marathon lasts long.

Yeah, that was my problem that I fixed. =P I was thinking "Skulldizzle=Skulltag" for some reason. I apologize for this.

[edit: I took the server down because it's already 4 pm central time. We never had more than 6 people at a time, and half the time nobody was in it, but I didn't notice any bugs. PM me if you want it back up.]

For the record I played on the unofficial marathon server for about an hour I guess and everything went smoothly. I didn't notice any bugs at all.

What the fuck? Why didn't official server appear? Game was lagging as hell! Also the wad is fail :/ . Stupid starts, stupid music and no gameplay :mad:

Stop complaining about lag. Either get a new ISP, or buy more memory.

I think part of the problem was he lived in Ukraine and I was hosting from Maryland, US. =P The other part was the fact that I might have capped on upload rate at certain times, especially during the start of levels.

Hetor - why don't you host an unofficial marathon server for EU people if the official server isn't up next marathon? :nod:

I can't host from both Europe and United States at once since I'm hosting from my home connection, but if you help me out here then it might be better for everyone (also might prevent me from hitting an upload speed cap).

Bad idea, my server will suck.

3 month bump, sue me.

What's going on with these? Are they going to be ressurected when we near 97E completion, or are they gone?
