[SOLVED] Where to find old openxcom nightlies?

[niculinux]

As title says, may still possible obtain the old nightlies of openxcom? If yes, where? Thanks!

From the repository. =)

You can use the following, when you have changed into the folder with the sources:

Code: [Select]

git logIt will show you all versions. You then can use the commit with the following:

Code: [Select]

git checkout <commit>You can even switch to another branch:

Code: [Select]

git checkout -b <branch_name>

Thanks! But this applies also to windows builds? I hoped to find somethingh more immediate.., just download & extract ol' fashined style, please, tell me there' any chance

[7Saturn]

Sorry, I never use the prebuild versions, as I'm usually not working with windows. In general, you'd be able to do it my way, anyways, but it'd require you to compile it yourself. So probably not an option for you.

... why?

[SIMON BAILIE]

I have zipped nightlies from 2015-04-21-0916 to 2015-08-21-0235 inclusive at the link in dropbox though I would advise use ones no earlier than 2015-05-07 if they're any help.

... why?

That's why:

There are people out there, who just want to play the game, instead of building it first. I can understand that.

@Simon: very much thanks, i was actually searching old nightlies to play some wip tc, these will domthe trick! <3

@Warboy: not very important, but a link to old nightlies may be put in the related download page?

Thanks again to everybody! If these question will be answered, i'll close the thread

edit: once again fixed typos

[Warboy1982]

we release like 10 versions a day. you want us to keep them all in perpetuity? i'll pass.

[7Saturn]

How about archiving the fewer prebuilds somewhere?

https://openxcom.org/git-builds/

we do, here

if you want something older than that... that's what version control is for, use git.
why you'd want outdated builds is beyond me. better to update the mod than stuff around looking for the specific revision it last worked with - it's really not that much effort.

[7Saturn]

Well, I'm not modding... However, sometimes it's usefull to see if a certain problem is new or exists for a longer period of time. What I'd do in this case is in my first post in this thread.

[Warboy1982]

THAT i can dig.

Thanks actually some mods in progres requiring X buikd, some others, Y and so on, the delopers reported that with specific ones there may be problems, that' all . Ok, "case closed".

Modders need just to update their mods. I'm halfway through it myself.
