Seems to resolve some of the unusability I was getting from 43.6, though I've only done force-building in it so far.

I seem to get a problem accessing files error?

Any reason as to why this might be?

Everything is working fine here... as always... attach your logs. Which file is it having a problem with?

That's good to hear.  We've already found a few bugs with it so far and I will be making another beta tonight at 8pm CST so that we can have a good stable the more we test everything.

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. I'm having issues with MML 0.43.6 and .7 in OSX. When I try to run either of them from Finder, it fails to launch. When I run it from the console, I get:

Error: Could not find or load main class MegaMekLab.jar
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: MegaMekLab.jar

Given the error, I think something got left out of the OSX build. Thank you for your time.

Not the Mac expert on the team. But in the past we've suggested people download the Linux version, and then do this:

Download and unzip the Linux version, then from the command line enter the folder and issue:
java -jar MegaMek.jar
java -jar MegaMekLab.jar
java -jar MekHQ.jar

Is this new development or something else?  I'm too used when you guys announce a new Development verse now Beta Testing.

Is this new development or something else?  I'm too used when you guys announce a new Development verse now Beta Testing.

Beta testing versions are being released by Bloodwolf, who's is one of our main artists and testers, and are released with the MegaMek teams full support.  My schedule has become crazy in the last few months so the Dev releases are taking longer.  He's doing Beta's to help out.

The main difference is how the packaging scripts are run, the Beta's pull from his local copy, where the Dev scripts pull from the Repo. They are identical code wise, but he doesn't have access to the main repo to create Dev releases. 

Basically it's a way to get releases into the hands of players that want to see the bleeding edge, or get bug fixes between the Dev Releases.

All this said there will be a new Dev release next weekend, that will be a Release Candidate for the next Stable.

Known and fixed. Try the new beta or wait for the next dev release. Should be the 20th, or at least that is the day Hammer is shooting for.

Posting here because this is the version I'm using; e.g. 0.43.7-betaJan3...

oh yeah; playing AtB:
When looking at purchasing edge, it is only charging me 1 xp per edge purchased.  I'm using higher xp awards and costs to emulate AToW xp.  is there a way to change the amount of xp to purchase edge?

Every new release I have made it a habit to go through and look at all of the options for each program to find out what's new.
