[Audyssey] looking for mysteries of the ancients beta (preferably 18)

2014-09-01 Thread john

Hi all,
	As the subject says, I'm looking to get a copy of mysteries of the ancients, preferably beta 18 if anybody has it. Its been a while since I've played, and I've been having hard drive troubles, so if anyone with a copy could get in touch with me 
I'd really appreciate it.


	I fully understand that the reason MOTA betas have not been distributed officially is because of bugs and a desire to avoid pointless emails. I hear by declare that, should I receive any beta version(s), I will send no such emails. If you have a 
version and are willing to upload it, please contact me off-list, as posting download links here may end up creating said emails.


Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Is there any specific reason why you want beta 18? There are several
newer betas than that with bug fixes, and updates available. So I am
curious as to why beta 18 specifically?

In any case I just checked my backups and the only beta I have on hand
is beta 22. I deleted all the older betas and just kept the newest
public beta for myself. If you want beta 22 I suppose I can put that
back on site for a while until I roll out the newest beta. If it
absolutely has to be beta 18 I'd have to build it from source and roll
out an installer for it which would take time.

Cheers!

Any beta would be great. The reason I wanted 18 specifically was because its 
the one I personally enjoyed playing most; I found it quite a bit of fun to 
come up with challenges for myself revolving around jumping various 
obstacles without ever actually letting go of the keys. Plus, the full 
restores from the shield/armor were awesome, heh.
There's absolutely no need to do an installer; I'd be perfectly happy with 
whatever  you can throw together. I'm certainly not looking for production 
quality here, just some way I can get to play with an old distraction that's 
vanished into the abyss of hard drive errors.

Thanks,
John

Beta 18 seemed to be the most stable. That's probably why.

Hi Charles,

that is true. Of course, keep in mind at the time I told people not to
share the Mysteries of the Ancients betas I was expecting to release
an updated beta within six months and had no idea that development
would drag on for years.

My primary motivation at the time was to keep users, possibly new
users, from pestering me with bug reports, feature requests, etc that
had nothing to do with the new beta I was working on and was intending
to release. However, as I know the project has slowed to a halt I can
probably locate a copy of beta 22 and at least put it back up on site
for the end users' enjoyment until I can roll something else out.

Hi John,

Well, since many people have requested that I put the betas back up if
I am going to do it I might as well do it for everyone rather than one
person. that means a production release and not just zip up the
contents of the demo and slap it on the USA Games site. that's also
why I was curious to know why beta 18 verses a newer release.

I have not played beta 18 any time recently, and only have beta 22
installed on a couple of machines. So that is why I was wondering what
if anything was so different about beta 18 that made it preferable to
the newer releases.
