Afx And Tgea (tse)?

#101 That sounds like great news :-)

The amount of deeper level bugs fixed by you and others really makes TGEA a far more usefull technology than it would have been without this community posted fixes.

#102 Sweet

#103 Jeff - do you have a preliminary date?

#104 I'm just about to start work on a project, sorry to be ask the obvious annoying question but. Any idea on a release date? Or time frame?

#105 @ Henry Garle & Sean T. Boyette -- We are on track to distribute the first release candidate to testers next week. Beyond that, the specific release date will depend on the results of testing and some general publishing logistics that are still being worked out.

In preparation for this release we've been internally testing the AFX 1.1 feature set on both TGEA and TGE and both engine versions are very consistent and appear to be stable.

Some new goodies coming in AFX 1.1 (other than TGEA compatibility) include:
- consistent particle system across both engines
- improved C++ mechanisms for adding custom user effects
- new PhysicalZone effects, including simple controlled flight
- preview version of SpellPack2 spell, Chill Kill
- new client datablock caching system for improved load times
- new load-time effects filtering GUI for faster effects prototyping (*)

* -- This means that you can isolate the loading to one or just a few effects that you are working on for very fast load times

#106 That are actually great news :)
Thanks for the update Jeff

#107 Jeff,

I am not currently working on a project, but would love to be a participant - if possible for testing.
If this is an option, please shoot me an email!

#109 Very sweet! Congratulations on the release!

#110 Congratulations Jeff

Looks great :-)
*searching for my hidden money vault to get this ;-)*

#111 I only wish I could buy this directly from YOU so that GG doesn't take half of your money for the sake of just "being".

Cheers and I will buy-in just after 2008 when dev time allows. ;)

#112 Has anyone been able to get the upgrade pricing through the website?
I keep getting the full price.

#113 Has anyone been able to get the upgrade pricing through the website?
I keep getting the full price.

#114 From what mentioned in the other thread, the upgrade is disabled until the "prerequest TGEA" issue is solved so only owners of TGEA can buy the upgrade to minimize the extra work of refunding at GG

#115 Marc is right...

There was a glitch in the GG purchasing system that was not properly checking for a TGEA ownership prerequisite. I think it's complicated for a product to require two prerequisites. In this case, AFX for TGE ownership *and* TGEA ownership.

The update purchasing options are currently unavailable until the correct prerequisite checking is functional. Sorry for the inconvenience.
