We've tried this. Turns out there is no "we" in "branches".

Per wrote: But the most important question is - does short range accuracy actually add anything useful to the game?
You bring up a good point - is short range accuracy actually needed.

As long as accuracy changes with the distance of the target then that should be all that matters - short hit is not needed for that, only long hit. Although I don't think anyone would even notice if accuracy mechanics were changed. I have never experimented with long/short hit values because it's a minor detail compared to other outstanding balance issues. Also because it's a lot of work to implement for little return. It's best to remove short hit for now.

On a different note, it's hard for me to let go of the short/medium/long range options on the unit menu. I want to try to make them worthwhile but I'm not sure that creating "accuracy profiles" for the weapon lines makes sense because IRL accuracy deceases with range on all weapons (physics). No such weapon becomes more accurate at longer ranges. Therefore it's not an opportunity to strategically distinguish the weapon lines but rather just another trivial step needed to implement them. Attempting to get closer to your opponent as a strategy has a cancelling effect because it equally benefits your opponent...
I can't think of a use case where I would want to get closer to my opponent for the sake of reaping accuracy benefits.

There would have to be big differences in long/short hit values to make short range worth pursuing but that means there is low accuracy at long range and it's too much time to balance all of that.

Per wrote: Keep in mind that in the original game you only had the dice roll accuracy. We also have hit box intersection, meaning you can literally dodge bullets by moving around and hit stuff that accidentally gets in the way.
That's good to know, I wondered if wz worked like that or not. I thought that it did based on observations but wasn't sure.

To test accuracy in general, I would use a light cannon vs a hardpoint at varying distances and count the number of misses and hits over a minute time interval.

To do this,

1. I would go to /stats/structures.json and make some random hardpoint have many HP's (say 50,000)

2. Then go to weapons.json and set light cannon max range to 10 and note the long hit value.

3. Then go into game and count how many times light cannon fires in 1 minute (we'll just guess 28)

4. Note how much damage light cannon does to hardpoint (How many HP's does it remove per hit)

5. Record how many HP's are missing from the hardpoint after 1 minute of attacking from light cannon. Divide missing hp's by light cannon dmg to determine number of hits and misses.

6. Repeat step 5 at varying ranges to see how accuracy changes with distance.

bug or something: units dont do anything if enemy's range longer than yours. they just stay and receive damage, like nothing happens.

Long story short: It went missing somewhere during the CSV -> INI -> JSON conversions and the back and forth HQ changes we did before 3.1 was released. It does not seem to have been terribly missed? There is a ticket, but it seems to have been mistakenly closed: #3437
Done in 64c1b8cd4b2ea1101cfa23fcd6012c57becf312a. I also made the command turrets depend on a command relay being built.

Until someone volunteers to re-implement removed unit orders in time for the upcoming release, such discussion does not belong here, and posts on that topic have been moved to the relevant thread instead.

Thanks to MIH-XTC I can do this now without the wzscript AI asserting. Here is my proposed change in this commit.

I already made this point and Berserk Cyborg made some adjustments to campaign mode to make units that get hit react, its not brilliant and the reaction is still a bit slow but at least they do seem to react now so its a step in the right direction, not sure how this affects multiplayer haven't tested that.

Although this does still needs a bit of work to make enemy units react instantly when they come under attack regardless of whether they can see you or not.

You can see this quiet well on alpha 6 use a single mortar and then bomb 1 member of a group from beyond sight range and the rest of the near by units will come after you even though you attacked them from beyond there sight range, apparently part of the issue was to do with the fact that groups that had no units where not removed which caused a lot of lag time in the units response which usually resulted in the units just siting there taking damage till it died.

So what is the current status for campaign - good enough for release now?

What about other issues - which ones absolutely need fixing before release?

Yep. Better than 3.2.0-3.2.3 for sure.

  • The keys F1-F6 still do not work correctly (see ticket #4715)
  • The display scaling patch has made it impossible for me to use this game. And for how many other users, I wonder?
    I'd like some more time to test at least the most popular Linux distributions. Current problems:
    • Window size can no longer be chosen without trickery.
      Previously, it could be set via command line (using the '--resolution' option), config file or in the game (using the 'Video Options' menu).
      Now the game maximises the window, overriding the chosen screen resolution. That new resolution can cause the game to crash for anyone sharing my graphics driver.
    • In windowed mode, the screen resolution can no longer be changed in the 'Video Options' menu, which is a terrible and illogical UX choice. Instead, the user should be informed that applying a new resolution will require a restart -- if the operating systems is affected by resizing problems in the first place.
    • Fullscreen resolutions can also no longer be chosen freely: Any resolution not in the list of recommended resolutions will be overruled by a false "default resolution" of 640x480 pixels.
    • The game now crashes when failing a mission, as Berserk Cyborg has just discovered (read this post)
    • The game now crashes when cancelling repeat build orders, as OFelix has just discovered (see ticket #4734)
  • Due to buildbot problems, `configure` lacks dependency checks:
    • SDL >= 2.0.5 (you added this check, but reverted it)
    • Qt Script >= 5.4 (see ticket #4637)
    You have suggested skipping dependency checks for MXE builds. I would also like documentation on creating these as well as buildbot's environment, so that developers could test more rigorously and avoid broken builds in the future.
  • The minimap changes I introduced are too radical, and it is my responsibility to accomodate more users (read this review).
  • Templates are still broken in multiple ways, especially in the campaign. I have started to work on patches.
  • VTOL rearming behaviour is still far from ideal.
  • Despite countless requests, unit orders have yet to be reinstated.
  • The documentation is very much out of date. I know what needs to be done, but am unwilling to commit to a deadline right now.
  • The ChangeLog is out of date. I have attached an improved version. We should habitually update it with each important commit.
  • Translations could be improved. How about a shoutout in the translations coordination thread?

This works fine for me, here?

Can you push your Changelog changes, and make tickets for bugs above that don't have tickets yet? Thanks.

I think you can run something like "ac_variable=yes ./configure" to make it use that value without running the actual test. Or maybe have a newer Qt in /usr/local/ instead of using the packaged version.
We want information... information... information.

Does executing `warzone2100 --resolution=800x600 --window` create a window 800x600 pixels large?

Done, albeit with a bad mistake. I miss force-pushing :x

Not done yet.

Still, could you explain to me how to set up MXE builds and which environment buildbot uses?
Forgon wrote:You have suggested skipping dependency checks for MXE builds. I would also like documentation on creating these as well as buildbot's environment, so that developers could test more rigorously and avoid broken builds in the future.

I wonder if we should write a script that checks out a tried and tested version of MXE and cross-compiles Warzone with it, and put that script into git. Vincent made something similar to that using Docker, but I'm not too familiar with that (see docker/Readme.md). And whatever we make, we should use with buildbot a well, so other people can reproduce whatever we do for releases on their local machines. Ending up with too much "secret sauce" on the server is not a good thing.

For now, the best documentation we have is http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/Compil ... dows/Cross
