BETA.5 - Feedback

[MetalBeast]

Hi friends,

at first THX for the new beta, looks really good.
So far I can say, it seems, the "stutter"-problem is gone, tested one map only, but played about 7 hours,
save-game attached, if you wanna give it a look, I know you developers have not that time to play so long

Small bugs and things about the new beta 5:
=================================================

- The Laser-Satelite still does not affect units, but buildings only.

- there is no option to disable Laser-Satelite in Buildings-Limit menu, PLEASE implement it!

- Text in "building-limit" and in "Key-Bindings" menu is not affected by language change, still using system language

- please include the "Buildings-Limit"-mod in the next release, if possible > viewtopic.php?p=19225#p19225

- Tucks are still "dancing", if they try to repair any building, which is not accessible,
there should be some kind of "time-out" for trucks path-finding, if buildings are not accesible, until the truck receive new orders.
Or they should start to find for new path, after some time delay, 10 seconds, or something, so they stop "dancing".

Anyway, great job guys!, THX

Ok, playing another map got this error and CTD:

stderr.txt:
error : [droidCheckReferences] Illegal reference to droid from aiUpdateStructure line 2844
error : [droidCheckReferences] Assert in Warzone: droid.c:238 (!"Illegal reference to droid"), last script event: 'N/A'

I was going to check into this, other stuff got in the way...

- there is no option to disable Laser-Satelite in Buildings-Limit menu, PLEASE implement it!

What language? Maybe the .po file didn't get updated?

Hmm...

By dancing, do you mean they start to circle, or are they trying to get to it at all costs, and never give up?

Which map? How many AI/human players?
What were you doing at the time of the crash?

My system-language is german, but I do not like the german translation, so I changed to english,
but in these two menus,the language-text is still german.

I mean both, spinning arround and swinging from left to right and trying go through the wall

- My selfmade test-map,
- 2 players, 1 AI one human
- doing nothing, just wainting for research.

EDIT: found new bug:
- Structure limits do not work for AI.
The repair-facilities are default limited to 5,
seems not for AI, see attached screen.
Already have seen this bug for other structures, e.g. hardened sensor-tower.

OK, this is now fixed.

Someone needs to fix the .po file.

Do you have a link to the lassat fix?

Sorry, it is under NDA.


HA! Just kidding. All my stuff is either in the repo, or one of the trackers.

[Raem_Lylar]

Huh? ... your going to make me search through a bunch of trackers? :mad;

What, you want me to post links? Too much trouble.

Here, extrapolate from this:

ROFL, the second one is a nice screenshot.

I also have one for you:
A picture says more, than 1000 words
[It is AI-player base]

[Delphinio]

lol, a "bit" strong the laser sat.

Can you at least tell me which files to modify and where they are?

Actually, no, it is pretty weak.

That was T1. In T3, the LASSAT is pathetic.

If you do a svn up, then you will get the patch. It is in both trunk, and 2.1 branch.
Or do you mean, you don't understand how to view each patch that was submitted in the repo?
