Re: Deliberate FPS limiter

Clean the dust and cat hair out of your machine and it won't overheat.

Unless it is woefully under-cooled to start with.

Re: Changing how armour upgrades work

In the Warzone ecosystem, the only way code gets thoroughly tested is in a release version.

This might change balance, but it is the way we want the code to work. As said above, we need data.

If we have messed it up, we can fix it. Release early. Release often.

Re: How to run wz2100 on raspberry PI

Slowly! HAHAHAHA

More seriously, first you will need an OpenGL video driver.
You will also need to compile the various libraries WZ needs: Physfs, OpenAL, Qt, etc.
Qt might be the show-stopper here.

Here is the Compile Guide: http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/CompileGuide

Re: Changing how armour upgrades work

Seems like a good change. Makes everything consistent. And the code is prettier!

With a turn-based game, you can spend more time fussing over your units. For WZ, doing upgrades automagically simplifies the game mechanics, the same way we don't bother with supply lines or ammo reloads.

Re: Game Wont Boot

Probably the usual bad Windows OpenGL video driver. I don't remember where the log file is on Windows. Run WZ from the command line to see.

Re: Windows 10 Cant Host Warzone 2100 !

That suggests there is some security feature in Win 10 that is blocking the port. Most operating systems run some sort of firewall. This means you must configure *both* your router AND your Windows firewall.

Maybe ask on a Windows forum?

Re: Windows 10 Cant Host Warzone 2100 !

Most routers have a web-based management interface you can access with your browser.

Perhaps your Internet Service Provider can help.

Re: Need Detailed Guide to Host Game Using Modem and Windows

Your system must be reachable on port 2100 from the internet.
What cybersphinx said above.

If port 2100 is blocked, likely you have a firewall running on your machine. Make sure the firewall allows access to port 2100.

Re: Can map design affect in-game performance?

I'm not familiar with your particular stuttering problem, but I do know that in that past, stuttering has been caused by bad sound drivers. Yes, it seems counter-intuitive. Some general thoughts: The size of the map affects the cost of path finding, since the area to search varies with the square of...

Sorry. I was deleting your multiple posts and did one too many.
Usual programmer's "off by one error", eh?

Feel free to post again and I will try to do better.
