REPACKAGED AS A .RAR

it's a zip.

I get

0.6.2 not supported?

This is the kind of project that could benefit from image distortion. Imagine instead of having raised squares, you could stretch the ground textures to the contour of your landscape and avoid the stepped pattern.

Shame I can't try it since I have 0.5.0 and 0.6.2 but this one seems to require 0.6.1.

Uh, what? I'm running 0.6.2 on linux, it's working fine Just tried it in windows too, open happily.. Maybe it's a one off error, I'll see if there's anything more sinister is going on.. Oh it's also possible the conf file still says 0.6.1, it's been a while

Indeed.. Though I do kind of like the stepped feel sometimes..

I get the same error as qubodup. Something with the Vegetation LUA file. Or something.

[Geti]

Really? have you tried redownloading? I just grabbed it off the drop and tried it on windows and linux again to see if there had been an issue with the upload, but it worked fine

here's just the .love straight off my HDD

See if that one works .. This is worrying

Great to see finally some use of those smilies!

It seems to take a loooong time to load, by the way.

No error, though.

I just tried it in 0.6.2 in Linux, and it worked just fine. It did take a long time to load, but once it did, everything seemed to run smoothly.

bad argument #1 to 'random' (interval is empty)

Let me make a guess here, just a stab in the dark.

Are you calling math.ramdom() with results coming from math.random()?

[Jasoco]

The error I was getting was on line 41 of Vegetation.lua. Which is part two of an IF statement:

Code: Select all

and math.random(self.lifetime / 10) == 1 then

But after a few launches, once in a while it works. You might need to look into that. Maybe I'm wrong. But it is random when it will crash and when it will work.

"Interval is empty" is the problem. Occasionally "self.lifetime" is being passed as empty.
