Shorah Everyone
Do I have great news for the fans out there! Tonight I managed to get the first Sandbox Shard working, and with almost no errors. I have tons of screenshots attached, and I know I might be shouted at for posting them, but you guys need proof. I promise I wont post so many screenshots again, but this is a special occasion! : ))))
Some nuts and bolts stuff:
I used the defacto MOULInsataller877.exe without updates from Cyan, so there are a few differences I will mention.
You can't set the fullscreen mode at the start of the game. There are no options.
There is no sound if you dont put "wrap_oal.dll" in root of the Sandbox Client.
First, when you get the engine running, you dont land in the Cleft age, you land in Relto.
You will notice there is only one bahro pole, and that links to the Cleft (ok?... I here you say)
When you link to Cleft you get 6 errors... just click ignore... Cleft loads just fine!
There is one book on your shelf... it links to Bevin... and it works.
In Bevin you can link to Gahreeson and Eder Delin... just remember to pick up your KI by passing through Gahreeson.
Linking back from Gahreeson to Relto kicks out 4 errors... just click ignore... and you are back at Relto.
Oh yeah... and you can wear what you like!!
The purpose of the Sandbox Shard is to give age builders a testing platform while the main engine is being streamlined by the excellent GoW Dev Team. At least now, knowing that the Sandbox works, builders will be able to test ages, animations, and content while we look forward to the engine coming out of a major overhaul.
I have some personal and warm thanks to the following people who helped in the creation of the Sandbox Shard wiki on GoW which still needs a few tweaks but is almost done based on the events of today.
