2.3 Ilu edition (2.3-ilu1) has been released!

[NoQ]

What is server list screen?
upd: oh yeah, i think i know what he means. Is this build network-compatible with the original 2.3.8? Is game between the two different versions allowed?

[Iluvalar]

No. Since the new version forbid to fire trought cliff and make half-build act differently, it brake compatibility with 2.3.8. You'll see "2.3-ilu1" in the lobby much more like you see "2.3.8" or "2.3.5"

which means that it is official if it is listed on the main server list page.
or are you guys trying to say anyone can do versions of the game and still use the same server list?

Code: Select all

[b]Important
This is not an "official" release. I you like the changes in this build, make sure to write positives feedbacks here !! Also, i'm the only one responsible for this release. If you find any bugs that occur only in this build, do not bother the other developpers with tickets. Say what is wrong here.

what is your question... does it have to do with cheating...

your asking questions but i dont think anyone is getting the reason behind your questions... could you please tell an old man exactly what it is your after... my brain hurts from all the back and forth going on here in the forums... thanks./

[medusa]

yeah, I see that here.
it don't show that in the fracking server list screen.
it looks like a new version is out.

quite possibly... things do change - and people do actually try to improve maps and mods and such... wouldnt surpise me in the least... if your of a mind...take a look at the nightly... even though that is a misnomer... as somedays there isnt any nightly...

make sure your get the right one - ie: windows is the .exe one... not that you need to be told that... just ensuring you and all are on the same page. thanks.

Oh no ! I'm feel so bad you were leaded into thinking it's a new version.

We made efforts to release a fully up-to-date 2.3 branch build with some consensuals¹ new features nearly 3 months after the last official release. It would be [blink]so much frustrating[/blink] if random players were progressively changing to that new build.

¹ I wait to see reaction to half-build behavior. That one is a bit of a test actually. But we talked about the remaining on the forum since quite a while.

Thanks guys, I will give this a whirl!

It's open source. We can't really prevent anyone from making a version called "fluffy bunny" and using our lobby server. Then that name will appear in the server list as well. As will any of our test builds, like for example the 2.3-projX builds.

[macuser]

Mac build.... did I hear someone say "mac build"?

I'll get right on it.

[cybersphinx]

It is very good idea about rankings. Also, it is good work in general

Yes, we can.
This really should have been done a different way.
Like it or not, medusa does make a valid point.

To make this crystal clear, this build is in no way affiliated with this project, and is not supported at all.
I assume this was only done as a favor to the OP.

[Iluvalar]

I'll make one other statement crystal clear too, "that" project is not supporting the 2.3 branch anyway. Even if they had a single button to fix projectiles to go trought mountains they wouldn't care about pressing it. Never. Because they chose to leave the 2.3 branch as much buggy as possible.

Obviously some of them now recourse to cap locks and fire red font ı to intimidate developpers that would care enough about 2.3 branch to improve it.

This un"affilliated" build is open source. Any developper that care about the stable branch can join freely our developpement git. "That" project dispose of a "merge button" they could use anytime they want their 2.3 branch being fixed. I really hope this ridiculous situation will end as soon as possible.
