Hey Skyline Developers,
With all the major changes happening right now within skyline which i must say are pretty cool, the main release is still a few weeks away due to testing and the new visual mechanics editor is taking a little longer to get ready, but we would prefer to release a good working version that is as close to being a polished first version as possible.
We have also heard you all about wanting a new update which we cannot provide at this time through the auto update service due to another job needing done for the next version which will change the way we handle patched versions. So we have decided to release an optional patch which is essentially an V0.9.7 Preview but is still V0.9.6 so when the real V0.9.7 is released, your updater will work the same.
Here is the download:
Skyline (V0.9.6)V0.9.7 PreviewThe file provided is only the "Skyline Editor.exe" and if you need a player or game build, then please PM me and i will compile and send it your way.
Instructions:> Please backup your current "Skyline Editor.exe" in your "Win32_Release" folder.
> Download and extract the new "Skyline Editor.exe" in your "Win32_Release" folder.
> Load skyline.
Information on the Build:> We have removed the Visual Mechanics editor as we want to surprise you all in the release
> There are no player or game builds.
> Not all the jobs are done, but we deem this version stable for releasing to the public.
> OVer the past weeks, we have talked about many subjects in the blog for the next release and you will find most of them in this build as well as many bug fixes such as navmesh, attaching crashes, animation, editor plugin improvements and much more..
> No changelog yet.
We hope there are not any major bugs now and that we have already fixed them and we will also not be providing the changelog as we want you all to work with the new version as if nothing has changed lol
. If you encounter any strange effects you did not have happen before or you get crashes, then please send the details to us on the forum or to "support@aurasoft-skyline.co.uk".
Thanks again, and hopefully this will buy us the time to complete the next version officially
Edit: (Rare Bug) If your exe refuses to load and shows no crashes etc.. then try backup up your registry first and then remove the aurasoft folder from current_user/software. Then boot skyline and activate. If you experience a crash on activation, then try again and it should work
