Legacy of Kain: Revival beta

[Vincent]

And you didn't pick up the power by mistake, you don't have Strength Boost in your powers...?

Okay, I'll make some tests.  If you don't have the power, you're stuck...    Sorry.

[bluemonkmn]

I loaded the same game again and went into the room, and this time I learned the skill.  Maybe I didn't pick it up last time because I didn't see what I was looking at so I didn't jump?  It's hard to tell that there's an item there -- hard to tell what I'm looking at I guess.

Right on the other side of that obstacle is a teleport device, but the message says "fonctioning" instead of "functioning".
In other dialog: "and now you seem as old and powerful than me" should be "and now you seem as old and powerful as me"

When I picked up the skill that I can use to get boxes out of my way I missed the first page of description because there was such a delay before showing the message.  I was pressing Activate or attack at the same time the message appeared, so I missed the page.  I'm not sure if anything can be done about that.  I guess it wouldn't be a problem if the encyclopedia worked, but I still can't view the encyclopedia without errors.  So I'm not sure what skill I got or how to use it.  Maybe it's time  I get back to playing my other games until another version after the first beta is available .

However, I am quite intrigued by the game, and the graphics, even so small, help me get into the mood and story.

Thanks for the pointers.  I will keep all of that in mind when I improve the project.

If you want to keep playing with this version, there is a way to workaround the encyclopedia problem: start a new game, open the menu, cycle through all the encyclopedia, then load your game.  that way you can read the whole encyclopedia in your game.  Annoying but it can be done.

If you don't want to go through this trouble, I will make a nother version of the game , probably in February.

Thanks bluemonkmn!

Hi everyone!

I just made another release, probably the last one of my game.  You can get it at the game's website.  http://lokrevival.webs.com

Bluemonkmn, are you willing to host the sgdk2 file in the game repository?  It's about 80 megs.

Thanks everyone!  Enjoy!   

[bluemonkmn]

I'll have to see if it allows me to host something that size.  I would like to try.

[Vincent]

I uploaded a .rar version of the sgdk2 file in the repository.  It's abuot 40 megs.  Can you approve it?

[bluemonkmn]

I don't see any uploads.  It must not have completed successfully.  The site is configured to allow 50,000 KB uploads, so I don't know what would have happened to it.  Do you have another place you can upload it so that I can try putting it up there other ways (unless you just want to try again) or should I create some FTP space where you could upload it to me?

Edit: It looks like there may be a PHP setting that would override the Joomla/Remository setting that says the max upload size is 7 MB.  I will investigate to see if there is a way to change that.

[Vincent]

It's strange, I never got an error message when I uploaded the file.  Everything seemed fine.  I will try again tonight.

[bluemonkmn]

Don't bother attempting the upload again until I figure out how to get around the 7 MB limit -- unless you have a different place to upload it where I can try and transfer it up to the site a different way.

[bluemonkmn]

OK, I think I figured out how to modify the configuration to allow uploads up to 50 MB.  Try again if you like.

[Vincent]

It doesn't seem to work, I get this message now:
"Although you may have attempted a file upload, no file was received. "
Before I had no message...

[bluemonkmn]

I can't figure it out .  Is there another place you can upload it so I can transfer it myself directly?  Or should I provide you an FTP account to upload it?

[Vincent]

I stored it there temporarily.  Can you pick it up and host it yourself?  Thanks!

Thanks; I downloaded it -- I will try posting it tonight.  You can take it off the other site if you like.
