sorry but i wanted to know if it would be better to update to the stable release or the Experimental Build (7.1 i think)
Neither. Download the source code and build it yourself with codeblocks. You’ll have an easier time with bugs and errors, as well as having the benefits of the truly latest build.
i don’t know how to do that D:
go here and download and install codeblocks with everything (make sure everything is installed!)
Then download this (it is the latest repo):
https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/archive/master.zip
Finally, after you install codeblocks, unzip the repo into a folder and open up CataclysmWin. Once open, click build->build, wait for the build to complete, and in your repo folder should be a brand new cataclysm.exe.
You can also modify the code in the various .cpp and .h files and build it again if you want to give adding new features a whirl.
Edit: Good catch. I’m still used to just using the quick link.
That’s the wrong link (it’s still pointing at the old repository).
