Oh, too bad. Well, I guess there are problems with both the Mac and Windows versions. I'll look at them this weekend. It'd help me if you could describe more about what happened when it failed. Was it just escape.exe that couldn't be replaced, or different files? How did you notice you were missing esx/esp files? There isn't any code in the upgrader that should do anything with those files, so it's quite mysterious to me. Are you sure they're still not in the old installation directory or in the attic subdirectory?
BTW, if you want to upgrade manually in the future (and I understand why you'd want to do that, if you're afraid of losing your game data) all you have to do is download the installer or zip from the website. I want the in-game upgrader to perform the upgrade in place without any work by the user other than confirming. I obviously also want it to work correctly and not make the game unplayable (or worse, lose data!). I appreciate any help you guys can give... |

We Need More Good levels and more stuff to work with in the editor, as things are starting to become boring. Going almost 11 seasons (2 and ¾ years) without a new tile/bot is really long. |

--- Um, I play on two computers, one Vista and one XP. The update should just download the new version and install that minus the levels you have already with an altered name in a new folder in the directory. --- Ex: Say you had Escape ver:3.1, the new escape should be like Escape ver:3.175 or something. That will allow an old backup of the game and rid of the dangers of the player's files being destroyed. |

Max also had a problem running it on the Mac. N7, are you on OSX? What version? I'll look into it. |
| |
I think a malfunction is moving around and I'm obviously not the only person. First I have failure updating even though it says "update successful" when at the same time the game is completely resetting all my info by deleting my files, and now Kirima lost the ability to play after updating. It's not the old update problem from early beta 3 because back then the only problem was the update failed. I think we have found a worse problem, but so far only Kirima and I have had the problem so far. (to our knowledge). |

The patch is for downloading levels when the existing target is a symlink to a read only location. Otherwise, it won't fetch new levels on Fedora. |
| |
I did try to update directly, but now double-clicking the icon won't open the game. Just nothing happening! So I did manually download the zip-file: same problem, impossible to open the game. (iMac OSX Tiger 10.4.11) |
| |
Yeah, Adam is suggesting a patch to the update code that might help with the problems that some people are experiencing. It seems like it can't hurt, so I did add it. Unfortunately the update code can't be fixed by updating, if you can't update. :)
More information about updating problems is useful to me, because it's working fine on my computers. That makes it hard for me to debug. |

It's not a script, but it's the output of a programming tool called GNU diff, which lists the parts of the source code that have changed between versions. |
| |
Oh, If you are in the same row or column as the Shybot, it will try to move out of the row/column you are in, But it won't try to walk into a solid object. This allows it to be "Forced" off the wall. |
| |
I'm pretty sure that's a script. I've used simple BASIC and GML(Game Maker Language, For the program Game Maker) scripts, I've looked at some of the escape code, and that looks like a script. |

is that a script because i cant script |

Can there be like a tile called CURTAIN, so you cant see whats under it. But if there is something under it there will be a black shade in the curtain, and to reveal what is under it ONLY in the LEVEL EDITOR with C.
Heres a bot that will be great for my next level - CopyBots - "Copybots copy your everymove like if you press right the bot goes right, and so on... |

Next up plans are a rewritten level browser. No immediate plans for new blocks. Shybots is a good idea, but I'm worried that they'd spend all their time against the walls, with not much to do over there. |

[ The Quartic Formula ]
Isn't there a formula with the x^4 coefficient (ax^4 +bx^3+cx^2+dx+e=0)? |
| |
I Don't Know. Bots that run away from you, or "Shybots" would be interesting. |
| |
will there be any new blocks in the next version? |
