In bottom of this I see Drive mode I say ok lets try I make commander and 6 tanks and is fun because it shoot automakly when is seen enemy and is just cool

why is experimental is should be in next release is great fun for all to make iot better if conrol a combat unit make it drive by arrow keys and aim and shoot with mouse is also should be in multiplayer

what do you think

It's still experimental 'cause it needs quite a bit more development - especially on the "battle mode" UI side. The PS1 version of WZ had it more fully deved and functional but the PC version did not at all match it.

hmmmm so what we can do?

Probably Buginator could answer that question best. But my own sense is that a key factor will be the full dev & implementation of BETA widget / LUA.

I would say the short answer is more coders joining the team and interested in working on this.

The following threads will give you a good background of what's up with this:

Off-topic:

@ Rman Virgil : Your latest avatars appear suspiciously mischievous...

Or maybe I'm just imagining things...

[franek12354]

why you have not post this off-topic ok dosnt matter

josh maybe you have any ideas

[JDW]

Well, uh.. if you know how to code, you can help fix whatever issues there are with the experimental implementation and then submit a patch to the project

[franek12354]

coding sounds interesting but well I be true I really dont kno whats coding is and what to do with it developers should get this

[JDW]

In open source projects, it's mostly all about contributions. Most developers choose what they would like to work on. Unless, of course, if you decide to hire their services to code whatever feature you would like to see in the game.

And then there are some who learnt coding and implemented the features themselves...

To clarify, it's not experimental because it lacks features - we can always add features later.

It's experimental mainly because the networking code doesn't support drive mode yet. Because of that, we can't allow it to be used in multiplayer, which is why it is considered a cheat.

I see. That makes perfect sense. (Dang dude, you is pretty durn active for an Inactive fella. )

Yet, in it's present form, even if the net code supported it, it's pretty useless without the combat features (can be a downright detriment in combat group maneuver, & in engagement, a veritable disaster).... but it is super useful for taking neat screen caps, IMHO.

Hey, Buginator's actually made news announcements while inactive. I got nothin' on him.

[franek12354]

so how much time is needed to finish that

True, true.
