Andy Rixon Posted February 14, 2010 Author Posted February 14, 2010 Yeah me to, do we need to send a pm to become beta tester of beta5 ? Yes, keep an eye on this topic, there will be an announcement when an official opening of beta testing is available :D
Smokey-Rev Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 So we can't run Beta 5 on our live forums even if we chose to?
AngelFire Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 So we can't run Beta 5 on our live forums even if we chose to? you could, but if it screws ur forum (not likely) or you have to do a new install of the stable version, and loose all your games and scores, dont come crying here lol, my advise is, you have waited this long, wait a bit more. and this is coming from someone that has tested this (so far) and is using another arcade on his live site rofl Keep up the good works guys

We will not be offering a tool to upgrade from the beta versions to the final version so we strongly warn you not to install this on a live environment, we also have not tested any of the code outside our own install, so we have no idea if it works well or not. After beta 5, we expect to open up all public boards for RC testing. Long story short: If you use this on a live board and it breaks, we cant help you. Its not our fault :P PS: For anyone waiting, it looks like the 12 hour beta signup window will begin in a few hours. :thumbsup:
Amy T Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Ok good, I just got home and can not wait to sign up.
Windwalker222 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Same here, been watching all day and working around the house. Looking forward to it.
Smokey-Rev Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Sounds good. :) I'm in. :) I'll set up a test board asap and then install beta 5 to test out. :)
Collin1000 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Just as a little teaser of iArcade BETA5: http://screencast.com/t/YTJlMGE3OGI (I apologize for the horrible sound quality, I have an awful mic. I'll let Andy stick to the voiceovers from now on.) The only things left is for Andy to write the installer and for me to update the documentation, and then we will begin to accept beta testers! Stay tuned, folks!
Bobby D Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I'll be waiting; I already prepared a test board just for the occasion. ^_^
Amy T Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Looks good is there a way to import more then one game at a time?
Windwalker222 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Amy asked the question on my mind, importing more than one game at the time. I thought the video looked fantastic and the audio really helped out in the explanation. Thanks! It looks great.
Smokey-Rev Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Great! i'd like to be in the beta but if not, i guess I can wait a week or so for the public beta/RCs :)
Collin1000 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Looks good is there a way to import more then one game at a time? Ive not found a way to make a multi-uploader work without running into errors, so not in this beta.
Windwalker222 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Not a huge loss as it looked to go pretty fast all depending on your connection of course. Maybe later.
Collin1000 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Not a huge loss as it looked to go pretty fast all depending on your connection of course. Maybe later. It depends 100% on your server and your connections speed, because we moved the untaring into a separate function. :thumbsup:

To add to this, you will need to do a fresh install of BETA 5 since there is no upgrade path yet.
Andy Rixon Posted February 14, 2010 Author Posted February 14, 2010 Update: I have updated the SQL install files, and the settings files, I am now updating all the template bits for the installer, I am working slower than normal because I am full of the cold :( but will be today you lot get BETA5(oh the hell I go through for you guys). I am then going to do a few test installs to check everything then its upto Collin to update the docs and send you the files (which I am going to send to Collin soon).
Windwalker222 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Don't overdo it Andy. I noted your Status said you were tired and a cold on top of it is not good. We're all excited, but won't kill me to wait. Thanks for all the super hard work both of you have done on this Arcade. :thumbsup:
Andy Rixon Posted February 14, 2010 Author Posted February 14, 2010 Thanks, well just finished everything, just need to do a few test installs then Collin can update docs etc and then send you the files.
