If you downloaded 1.1a prior to Friday night you should redownload it at this time to get the correct version.

The following problems indicate you should redownload:

1. Forest rendering / culling problems
2. Missing Forest 'Meshes'
3. No Player v Forest collision
( not an inclusive list )


If you are not sure which version you have you can do this.

1. Open this file: Templates/Full/game/scripts/server/game.cs
2. Look at function onServerCreated()
3. ...
// Load up any objects or datablocks saved to the editor managed scripts
   if (isFile("art/shapes/particles/managedParticleData.cs"))
      exec("art/shapes/particles/managedParticleData.cs");
   if (isFile("art/decals/managedDecalData.cs"))
      exec("art/decals/managedDecalData.cs");
   if (isFile("art/datablocks/managedDatablocks.cs"))
      exec("art/datablocks/managedDatablocks.cs");
   if (isFile("art/forest/managedItemData.cs"))
      exec("art/forest/managedItemData.cs");

If you are missing the last 2 lines which execute art/forest/managedItemData.cs then you should re-download.

Apologies to everyone for the inconvenience.

@Chris
I am most aware of my own last minute work on Forest and its editor. So, if it does not, you may want to make a 1.1a bug report in the forums.

That's why it's called alpha ...

@Chris
Skybox has been a reported issue since Release on some cards (7series), go bump the bug report if you want, but I guess that they do know.

Steve,

I did not have the issue on my series 7 card until the 1.0 release. So with Tom aware of the situation I was hoping/praying maybe a fix had been put in for 1.1 :)

James,

Just a lot of praying on my part :)

I think that right now, all of GG are crammed into a beat up old Campervan, driving around in circles trying to find Nevada.

Cheers, James.

That fixes the previous forest issues, nicely.

Though I'd suggest that this needs to go back in linky
