Scyndi's Forest Quest Files

IMPORTANT NOTE at the bottom of this ReadMe.Txt file

Well, the switch from Alpha to Beta was pretty quick, I know, but I had a lot 
of time on my hands. While I should be lying in bed during illness... well,
that's just not me.

Anyway, I hope you'll like this beta version.
It should be fully functional in the same way the true release is gonna be
except for a few minor things
- The PPC Mac version won't be there in the BETA, the true release will be 
  (though the PPC releases can often be released a few days later then the other
  platform releases).
- The 'small' version won't be in beta, but in the release it will be there.


When it comes to bugs there are a few known to me which still live in this 
Beta:
- The system will act very odd when you fill out a name for a new player file
  that already exists. This is resolved by quitting the game and running it 
  again, but a fix will be there in future updates.
- Dragging a row to the left does sometimes not work as it should. I'm not sure
  what causes it, when I do, I'll fix it.
  
When you find any other bugs (and as this is the beta I know they must be there)
please write me a ticket in the SourceForge ticketting system and describe the
bug in full.



When you downloaded the source code of the Alpha Version you probably couldn't
compile it in any way regardless if you had all external components or not. I
forgot to include the Import/SillyRound.bmx file. My apologies, pretty dumb of 
me. It's included in the source zip file now, double checked it.



With this Beta Release also comes the first release of the official game manual.
This manual is bilingual, meaning there's a section in English and Dutch 
about how to install and play the game. 
The copyright and license section and the 'nerds only' section are both in
English only. Download this manual from its respective folder.


Well, download the game, and tell me how to improve it. 

See ya

Jeroen



IMPORTANT NOTE:
During the BETA testing it came to my attention that some downloads will
get you an error about the "Patches" folder. First of all I deeply apologize
for that. This error should not pop up in the Mac version (if it does, 
let me know). In the Windows and Linux version you can easily fix this
by creating a folder named "Patches" in the same folder where the game
itself is installed, then I mean the file where the executable file
lives. A fix for this will be present in the next full update, the
BETA test is almost done.
