Same, I'm using FIrefox as well. Even though you rename it into a .zip file, it still doesn't work

EDIT: It works now, I belive you have to save the file as name.zip

Yeah, it only saved as a zip file on IE. Not firefox, which I had to get out of.

For the windows version I invited about a dozen people.

We havn't decided how we are going to handle the mac release yet, we may have it open, or first 20, or just have people apply, its still all up in the air.

BrokenDreams: I already said there were no mac signups yet.
Urmom: I believe he wants screenshots of the mac scmdraft, which is pretty boring atm.

SI, am i one of the dozen testers?

check the post above for screenies

Report, edit, etc...Posted by SI on 2005-03-12 at 23:00:32

not unless you have a second account here

the private testers have had various versions for the last 3 weeks or so and listed quite a number of minor bugs and even a few larger ones

most of them are even fixed in this release (I think its at 99 / 130 fixed atm)

i really like the new one

, especially since the things that you do don't show up in green print on the editor screen.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by sckor on 2005-03-12 at 23:53:38

wow! This is neat!

Now I can make sure that players aren't going to see what I dont' want them to see.[U]

Edit - It also has a nice register screen
