Shhhh us Linux boys need something to do.

Yeah. I'm using 32-bit. I'll just wait my turn then. I only ask because I'm also using Win7 and upgraded from v5>v6 on there and performance greatly improved and am hoping for the same results in the linux beta.

also, when i was just gonna take a screenshot of "before", some blue errors appeared on the level.

Edit: just noticed that, on the first image, down at the bottom, there is some darkblue errors too.

That's probably what Maloria looks like regardless of Graal versions. They botched the Hell out of it's release.

Thanks to whoever negative repped me as well, for something so idiotic. ****ing forum trolls.

We have uploaded the first public beta for Linux v6 (5.321). This is quite experimental, so it might not work for a lot of people. The zip is only containing the binary, no graphics files or so. This is for 64 bit only right now, the 32 bit version will follow later:

I need some feedback for following things:
- would it be ok if the client is not shipped with any gfx (just downloads on first login)?
- right now the client is still scanning the current directory and subdirectories, except if it's put in a bin directory; should this be changed and always ignore the current (binary) directory?

Worked great on the latest Ubuntu for me. You might want to note that you will need to install libsdl-mixer1.2 if you don't have it (installed it through apt-get) in order for it to start properly. I wouldn't include graphics in the download, it works great right now. I don't see any reason it would be necessary to scan the current directory.

I don't think you need to include the graphics either, downloading them is fine. I will also say the last few windows open betas have run well with wine

Finally I'll check it out when I have more time.

It's pretty pointless to run Graal in wine when it works on Linux to begin with.

Just pointing it out :P

The version for Linux 32 bit is now up:

This is now version 5.322, the 64 bit version has also been updated. The difference to version 5.321 is that it's now supporting URL redirects, e.g. when linking to a tinyurl image or facebook profile picture or similar.

File download: microsoft sans serif.ttf not found
Loading tile definitions for server Login
Connecting to the game server...
Done.
File download: verdanabd.ttf not found
File download: login_icon_developer24.png not found

Those have been missing in the windows version since the first beta too...

Hmmm the verdana font should be uploaded eventually, and an icon for Maloria.

[Deas_Voice]

Edit:
had to install libsdl-mixer1.2 too on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 (TLS)
