I was hosting that game lol! it was supposed to be called doom by the way.
Also I had the same lobby bug - it looked like LOTS of player was in the game. Imagine if we could have a game like that someday... 16.5millions vs 16.5millions of players. Funny! xD


About bugs, I was having a 1v1v1 FFA in multiplayer with elio and suicideidiot. We remained in two, then I went to attack elio's base. But before I got there, I found out that a consistent group of MY units was attacking without recieving ANY order. They even produced themselves because I didn't even design those units (mini rockets arty viper wheels... when I could had heavy bodies and scourge). They moved around and attacked without receiving any order.
That was really strange, I immediately thought of Nexus.

It was Nexus that was taking control of my units!

We are going to need better resistance circuits.

Heh, just think if we still had the same interface with those 16.5 million people. O_O
I think we would run out of colors for flags. lol

The smoked units are known, and there is a fix, but...not in svn.

The AI taking over your units:
I have seen it happen, but I can't replicate it all the time.

would this happen to be the 2v2 game we had a few days ago?
yeah, what a game of warzone, 16.5 million v 16.5 million
but it does look silly, and should be fixed

3- Private "extra" massege, with some trash.

Not a bug, a feature. (no, really!)

You can direct your chat-messages to single players by writing that player's number as the first character of your chat message. At least that's what I think it is.

I'm not about prefix " (private) ", its about extended chars that uppers in your string like "zero" in the beginning. (too bad that I got only one exemple)

Well, that isn't a bug either. If you type "0123456 BOO" you will see '(private)0123456 BOO'.
Why? Because it didn't get stripped out.

I guess it could be done.

OK, ok, fine! I fixed it.

Hope your happy... as soon as Kamaze or whoever wakes up, and runs the new master server code, it will be fixed.

Well I think Private massages should be just another color in consol & to cut off that index "(private)".

suicide: you played sucks term =) //private massage

And what color would you use? We already have team color coded text available.
White is normal, yellow & red are used for team color coded text.
(hit shift-tab I think it is to turn on/off)

Personally, I'm against mixing color-coding into this. I would prefer the indicator not to take (that much) space, however.

I can think of two proposals to solve this:

1) use italics for private messages,
2) use just "(p)" or "(*)" indicators. "(private)" is way too long.
