Warzone 2100 Forums

The 3.1 series is the first based on the new netcode, with new terrain renderer and many other changes. The main target are systems capable of OpenGL 2.0 (with shaders), but at least the important things like team colours should work with OpenGL 1.4+ (some things might look strange though).

Configuration uses a new directory, if you want to use old mods/maps/savegames, you need to copy them (see FileLocations). Note that savegames from 2.3 and 3.0 are incompatible, only those from newer master snapshots might still work. For mods it depends on what they do, don't expect old mods to work either.

2.3 is now officially unsupported.

Known Bugs:

• Loading/saving does not always work (#3103)

Changes since the 2.3 series:

• New terrain renderer
• Support for 3/5/6/7 player maps

Changes since the 3.0 beta series:

• New deterministic netcode that makes sure the same things actually happen for all players, should be much more cheating-resistant
• Support for 9/10 player maps
• Unit targeting is more intelligent, they won't all shoot one target when one shot is sufficient
• Command line parameters now need a '=' (which was optional before), e.g. --resolution=1400x1050
• Apple systems: Drop support for PPC and Mac OS X 10.4, add support for 64 bit Intel on Mac OS X 10.6+
• Everything the master snapshots up to master_20120109 contain (and everything in master up to Jan 29, 2012, see https://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2 ... eb9ac685cd), see their announcements as well:

Bug Reports:
This release probably contains bugs, please report them so they can be fixed. If you have trouble getting the game to work at all, consider a forum thread, you will probably get help faster that way.

See BugReporting for details, in short:

• Search the existing tickets for your problem, if the problem has already been fixed in git, the ticket will be closed.
• If there is an open one already, feel free to add more info to it.
• If there is no report yet, make a new ticket (one per issue).
• Be as detailed as possible in both summary and description, and either log in with your forum account or leave an email address so we can contact you if we need more information.
• The more information we have, the easier it is to fix problems (or the other way around, the harder it is for us to reproduce a problem, the less likely it is to get fixed), so include savegames/instructions to reproduce the bug, crashdumps, backtraces, screenshots for graphical problems... whatever is relevant.
• When you attach files to a ticket, please add each text/image file separately and uncompressed, so we can view them easily in trac (savegames can and should be zipped, they consist of name.gam, possibly name.es, and the files in the name/ folder).

Download:
As usual, downloads can be found on our download page or directly on Sourceforge.

yay!

Will give it a try after I get back from my business trip.

If you want to play old mods. DO NOT move them ! Their must be more snowball in hell than old mod that can work on that version.

Did you installed the balance i gave you, also featuring the correction for the inferno power change that wil (again) destroy everything in their path ?

found 2 bugs.
one is when you are in the screen waiting to start a game and you click ready there is a long delay where there is nothing happening and it seems like the game crashed
the other is when you load a game it does the same thing. there is a long delay where there is nothing happening no progress bar or anything to show you it is loading
no framerate issues with this and the last version

At the second attempt to load the game shows "Crahed Warzone." Often when I plant it has no visible project trucks viper.

can you guys make it show if the game in the lobby is set for low or medium or high power and the same for bases and also what the limits are?

Downloaded linux tarball. Msg about 'hg identify: option -B not recognized', followed by compiler errors that suggest autorevision.sh produced a crappy version.cpp.

Trying to make again to get nice error msgs for cut & paste - autorevision.sh script is hanging...

It's going good except for stuttering when I move the camera around my base or to other bases and some areas.

Please create a bug report and upload the logs there.

Both of those things are from something I committed which unmasked very minor issues in different areas of the code (the issues are more or less purely visual).

zany wrote:no framerate issues with this and the last version

Vsync enabled should be working better now too, I think enabled should be the preferred setting.

It's all looking good here on Mac OS X 10.5.8

Does this release include the latest JS API from master?

At the time of writing, it contains everything in master except for a Semperfi-JS bugfix (and Semperfi-JS is disabled in 3.1), so the JS API should be included.

So we will see some first draft AI's aubergine ?


and new path finding?


the future looks bright

Thanks! i hope more players than before can start play master, even it is not perfect but now i see it competitive to 2.3.9
