Warzone 2100 Forums

For your first save: Yeah, that's a big traffic jam. There are bunch of units trying to repair blocking other units wanting to get out of the base against a 1 tile gap. Campaign weapon balance hasn't been touched other than the campaign testers and I making the Assault Gun weaker and weakening some ...

To my knowledge, none of the original devs from Pumpkin Studios are here. I do know Alex Lee made an account and posted a few times and answered a few questions. But that was many years ago.

Were there any crash logs generated? Also, does it make any difference with or without video sequences available?

If your on Windows then try this developement installer or portable build which should fix additional graphics driver related crashes (especially so for old Intel based chips).

I'm currently creating some new measures for the drum spawn code for issue #606 and saw the randomly spawned drums are only allowed to appear on non-islands. Would it be a good idea to allow drums to be placed on islands? An alternative is to preserve the current behavior then switch it to check if ...

On second look, it's mostly the frontend backgrounds, structures, and the terrain that look bad on DirectX / OpenGLES. Using the latest feature update for Windows 10 and I have the latest graphics drivers (Vega 8 + Ryzen 3 APU). Might just be a side effect of those errors, though. Anyway, attached l...

Looking for anything in particular? Vulkan and OpenGL backends are working fine on my end. Tested with simulating bot battles and entering Beta campaign. Trying DirectX or OpenGLES (which falls back to libANGLE) gives this error and the graphics are... pixelated to say the least. error |17:49:53: [s...

Probably caused by weird instructions for a, not so relevant anymore, problem when SDL 2.0.6 was the latest release (see the mint and ubuntu sections in our linux compile guide). The compile guides need to be cleaned up and updated.

Yep, old bug. Nobody has found any reliable way to reproduce it so far other than it being "random".

Hurricane requires twin MG and Whirlwind requires AG. I haven't noticed any of its upgrades depending on cannons at all. The weapons don't but the damage/ROF research do. "R-Wpn-AAGun-Damage04" requires the seventh cannon damage research (HVAPFSDS Cannon Rounds). "R-Wpn-AAGun-ROF04&q...

Cannon-AA gets the short end of the stick when compared to all the other AA weapons. I suspect few players actually use it and the only ones who do are newbies who quickly learn it's almost a sure-fire way to lose against VTOLs. It's funny, really, because machinegun-AA requires cannon research far ...

In terms of overall performance it's probably the graphics code that is one of the worst offenders. Pastdue's gfx PR at least no longer makes Warzone melt one of my modern CPU cores, lol. Hopefully 3.4 comes after 3.3.1. Pathing can be still be an issue, especially if a situation occurs where the mi...

^ I made a workaround where I randomly offset the locations passed to pickStructureLocation() up to three tiles. This made it possible for Cobra to build its base on Startup position 0 and all Butterfly map positions. It shouldn't negatively affect anything and hasn't from my tests so far. Another f...

So, problem is that cobra trucks at base do nothing, despite there are 3 more dericks built. Looked to later commits names - not sure if they affect this. I know about this one. But it's not a problem with the bot. It's a failure with pickStructureLocation() . It can't find anywhere to place the HQ...

1. Chess like defense struct layout. The shift seems to happen at some point due to bad alignment with terrain. Though units usually try to move between diagonally placed structs, it happens so slow, that they are practically unpassable. If Cobra has no base structures to build anymore then it star...

Er I'm kinda lost, not a programmer here. Also do you mean "changePlayerColour(player, colour)" or "setPlayerColour", cause on the wiki it says the former. Do I just add on line 242 before "setCampaignNumber(1);", something like "changePlayerColour(0, 3)"? :l...
