For those of you who haven't found out yet, the download link for TGB is now for Beta 2! Get downloading!

Oh...
Grr. I checked earlier and the link still said beta 1.1 so I didn't bother to check what the actual file was called. doh. =)

Will Beta 3 have D3D enabled as it was for Beta 1.1?

What do you mean by "have D3D enabled"?
For me it is enabled and works without problems if I decide to switch to the D3D instead of OpenGL (although I would not do it unless I'm forced to)

@Marc: Just to clarify; whenever I open the TGB executable, I only get Opengl as an option in the dropdown from the video options dialog, the D3D option is never available. I downloaded and unzipped the Beta 2 zip file twice thinking the original download was corrupted - but to no avail.

Is this just me, or is any one else experiencing the same problem?

Much appreciated:)

D3D is not an option on my machine, either. I think this beta has some things missing because they are not completed yet, so we can hopefully expect beta3 (or RC1?) :) to be more complete. Just guessing, though.

Can you check the prefs.cs file and see if AllowD3D is set to "1" instead of 0?
I've overwriten my previous beta 1 with the beta 2 so it might perhaps have interfered somehow, can't say ...

$pref::Video::allowD3D = "1";
And D3D isn't available.

By the way i notice a copy/past bug fix :)
(yeap the pdf log isn't up to date)
The new GUI is awesome !

I also have a new error when i try to run my game done with beta1 and i can't figure it out :
Quote:
Loading compiled script T2D/gui/mainScreen.gui.
Loading compiled script T2D/gameScripts/game.cs.
Cannot find menu FormMainMenu for clearMenuItems.

there is no menu neither FormMainMenu or clearMenuItems function anywhere.
My $defaultGame folder is changed but TGB still looking inside the T2D folder...

thanks ;)

Did you call the T2D exe with -game gamename?

Hum... Yeah but normaly i don't have to do that.
When i try this command there is a bunch of other error and the screen is cover with "scratch buffer".

I will try to solve all of these error later cause i don't have much time.

Note : As a graphic designer, the TGB level builder is more what i was waiting for when i buy T2D :-)
