about the game project

[Mezdan]

i like what i have seen so far but i have seen aleast a dozen bugs.

in the bugs i have in order of the worst.

1. vehicle range is not comparable to other enemy vehicle attacks, so instead of attacking it doesnt do anything but get shot at sometimes.

2. campaign breifing voice narrative for each mission, some of these dont seem to be working.

3.- 6.when cheating, after typing in the code for all structures and research, i build a scavenger wall segment and appears smaller then the original wall piece. additionally, the cannon hardpoint walls are facing in only one direction and the scavenger power generator is upgradable, but when upgraded it comes up with an upgraded power station without the floor base when upgraded..

7. the gun fire is passing through solid ground when the vehicle is firing at an object higher then itself.

8. when a vehicle is near an edge of the map or a certain direction at the edge of a cliff ontop of it, the full shadow of vehicle appears in a place it should not be.


9. when in the video breifing sometimes when i wish to skip the sequence i press the mouse button, when the sequence jumps to the next or into the game mode, it sometimes freezes until you click the mouse button again.

10. 11. vehicle path finding is below average, sometimes the vehicle would go around in circles or get caught by the landscape through no fault of its own. additionaly, when returning from a attack mission away from the base, the vehicles would always appear inside each other until one is ordered to move.

12. when typing in the cheat for all technologies, most of the early end tech is nowhere to be found and even a few high end techs.

13. the video breifing sequence writing is not properly aligned giving me the feeling of it being rushed and the game not getting the attention i assume this place was built for.

14. the mission on the gamma side where you need to rescue alpha survivors, when rescued apart from the repair and build vehicles the rest all have hero status with approximatly 3000 to 4500 kills each.

15. the game seems to have an inbuilt kill switch, which puts me into windows and exits the game abruptly and without any warning.

16. when enabling the cheats and bringing up the demo, the ai running my base does suicide runs with the units instead of building and resourcing and attacking properly.

17. the video sequence rendering is terrible.

18. the failure of a mission brings up the end of mission stats window, however pressing escape and doing it again allows you to continue playing.

in suggestions (IMO).

1. remove the unit cap speed when grouped with slower units or build a fuction to toggle that.

2. remove the extra buildings that are not in the project campaign when typing in the cheat for that feature.

3. add extra cool down time for rotary mini mortar on vehicles and speed up the slower longer range rocket support weapons slightly.

4. improve accuracy of light weapons like machine gun a bit.

5. add an auto target, turret movement and fire solution for flamer units so they can be useful on the field instead of a waste of time and resources.

6. increase the video aspect quality, or revert to the original videos from before this project.

Dude, they tell you cheats are not stable, so don't bitch about them. Over half the sh*t you talk about has to do with cheats. :rolleyes:

The vids are as good as they will ever get. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3384 Source material is low rez, so don't view them fullscreen and make them "1x" size for better image quality since stretching them to 1680x 1050 looks like crap.

All vids have voice AFAIK.

1. remove the unit cap speed when grouped with slower units or build a fuction to toggle that.

already there, try pressing F11

2. remove the extra buildings that are not in the project campaign when typing in the cheat for that feature.

It's a cheat for "all" so you get "all" ?!?

3. add extra cool down time for rotary mini mortar on vehicles and speed up the slower longer range rocket support weapons slightly.
4. improve accuracy of light weapons like machine gun a bit.

Balancing. Why change? Look there for the balancing-thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3644

5. add an auto target, turret movement and fire solution for flamer units so they can be useful on the field instead of a waste of time and resources.

Don't get it, sorry... What??

read it or dont respond, i wont change what i wrote.

i put up the bugs i see, and a few tweaks i see, i did not come here to be chased off by other disgrutled people who wish to pick what i wrote to death. read it or dont respond. But there are the bugs i see, deal with them as you wish or ignore them.

it's the internet; build a bridge, and get over it, or close the door on your way out. everyone has differing opinions on everything. there's nothing wrong with a little naive ignorance, however you really need to learn to LURK MOAR and learn how this forum operates, or you're going to get what you deserve.

Very well, here's an official developer response:

Bugs:
1. needinfo (I can't understand this. If English is not your native language, please use your native language; we probably have someone who can read it)
2. known
3. wontfix (We will not fix any "bugs" that only come up because of cheating)
4. wontfix
5. wontfix
6. wontfix
7. known
8. needinfo (Screenshot would be nice)
9. acknowledged - please report using the bug tracker: dev.wz2100.net
10. known
11. known
12. wontfix
13. needinfo (Again, try a screenshot)
14. invalid (Why is this a bug? You've obviously rescued experienced survivors - if they weren't experienced, they wouldn't have survived)
15. known (It's because your video card is overheating and crashing. Try throttling it, or updating video drivers, or something.)
16. wontfix (That's what the AI is designed to do. If you want a better AI, install a better AI. Like BP.)
17. known
18. acknowledged - please report using the bug tracker

Suggestions:
1. invalid. Already exists, please press F11. Also note that it's incredibly rude to disregard someone else's attempt to inform you of this fact.
2. rejected. Guess what "all" means. Cheats are intended to help developers test the game and only that. If you want other cheats, write them yourself. Also note that it's incredibly rude to disregard someone else's attempt to inform you of this fact.
3. external. If you want balancing, you'll need rationale, and you should either start a new balance thread, or post in an existing balance thread. Also note that it's incredibly rude to disregard someone else's attempt to inform you of this fact.
4. rejected. MGs aren't exactly accurate weapons to begin with. Research accuracy upgrades if you want more accurate machineguns. Also note that it's incredibly rude to disregard someone else's attempt to inform you of this fact.
5. needinfo. I have no idea what you're asking for. Also note that it's incredibly rude to disregard someone else's attempt to inform you of this fact.
6. known. This is already on the to-do list.
