Well, it was released a bit in a hurry so we didn't put it in. Soon beta 7 should come out with all the files

Please also test the current SVN if you want to help us on Hackontest.

Finally a new OLX beta, cool!

One question though, how are we supposed to install this again?
I unzipped the win32 download into a new folder and from there i copied everything into my old OLX folder. When i try to open the .exe (in both folders) it sais Windows can't start it because it's configuration isn't right.
Do you know what i did wrong, or do i have to redownload it?

Please give the exact error. This sounds a bit strange to me.

@Karel: Do you have an idea? Perhaps the EXE manifest is missing?

Fix is being worked on.

hey, is it possible you can make aiming just a bit faster, or ad a little dial to allow people to set their own aim speed, because beta5 was way slow compared to beta4. i didnt like that much.

It was a bug in Beta4 that it was so fast (and it also depends on your computer). It's like cheating because other clients also cannot use faster aiming.

If we would add this as an option, then only with also skipping compatibility to old clients and also only if the server allowes it. (A bit like mouse aiming.)

Aww It doesnt work for me!

Savory · « **Reply #15 on:** September 25, 2008, 04:45:27 am »

I'm not the only one it works for right? They're the MINORITY! Right???

MissingNo. · « **Reply #16 on:** September 25, 2008, 04:47:08 am »

It works for me. As does the SVN

albert · « **Reply #17 on:** September 25, 2008, 06:15:23 am »

Nice to hear that it works at least for some people.

Another new feature: Notify application on event (on Win/Linux, the window blinks in the taskbar, on MacOSX, the icon is jumping).

We have less than 4 hours left now. We are working still on copy&paste support for the chatbox (which implies for work in the browser widget). That is probably our last real feature. We will do some more testings now and we have to write also a documentation about what we have done. And we have also to make a new release for the Hackontest jury (that they can easily test our results).
