Steve, > is 4 ready for production? if so ill give that ago. I am looking > at it for a project thats all. Either way it doesnt explain why > i cant log in.
I am personally using FC4 for two new projects I am getting ready to release. However, the official answer for any Beta would be no, this Beta is not ready for production. Being in Beta means things might change in core files that might break your code by the time it reaches final release. And many files are changed on a daily basis (mostly bug fixes or minor feature enhancements, but you never know). With regards to FarCry 3, I use 3.0.2 in production on several sites. Even though 3.0.2 still has yet to be officially released it is stable enough in my book (its basically just bug fixes and the like for 3.0.1). Currently you can only get it from SVN or the nightly builds found on my website (the beta of 3.0.2 shown on farcrycms.org as a download is slightly out of date now, but is still better than 3.0.1 IMO). If I were a betting man, I'd place my cards in building all new websites in FarCry 4.0 (even if it is in Beta). Due to many changes in the 4.0 framework upgrading from 3.0 is not a simple point-and-click upgrade, so I personally suggest building new sites in 4.0 Beta (as long as you don't mind watching for file changes between now and the final release). > so no one knows how to fix this? I have a feeling the answer is much simpler than I'm thinking, but I just can't seem to place my finger on it. Try upgrading to FarCry 3.0.2 (grab the latest files from p300 for both "farcry_core" and "fourq", run the updater and choose b3001 and b301, then after updating the application scope try logging into the webtop. If the login works, go into Admin/COAPI/Types and tell it to deploy anything that might be missing). If upgrading to 3.0.2 doesn't work, then give 4.0 Beta a shot. Since this is a new site, you might want to try a fresh install using either 3.0.2 or 4.0 Beta. > Off topic though, i downloaded your video tutorials but they had > no sound :( The audio codec used was Windows Media Audio 9.1. I suggest installing Windows Media Player 9 or better (http://www.microsoft/mediaplayer). If you're using Mac OS X, then I suggest the lower quality version of the video I offer. If you don't have access to Windows Media Player or don't want to install it (like myself ;)) there are awesome codec packs available on the web that will install the codecs of your choice to be played in most video players (I can't suggest a particular one because most of them offer free codecs that you are supposed to pay for). Why did I bother recording the videos using MS's codecs? I'm glad you asked Steve. Microsoft may be a lot of things, but those there codecs they done did right (yeah, I watch old western movies ;)) and they do a great job when used for screen capture when frames per second can be kept to a low rate. This allows me to keep the file size down drastically. Granted, I've been making those videos for a couple years now and haven't bothered to research a better solution since :). But one thing is for sure, Flash files take up way too much bandwidth and file space and their video codecs still have a few years to go to catch up to the late 90's let alone 2007 (I know I'm going to get some hate mail for that statement, but it is what it is :)).
