2.25... Released!

APC rushes require skill, both to counter and execute.

 

Well the idea being we hope alot more people will go gren randomly and often, apc rushing past a gren or 2 at round start isn't all that likely to survive.

 

Graphics: Amazing. :eek: 10/10
Coding: Reading the change-log, saying anything short of 10/10 would betray my ignorance.
Balance: I don't know yet. :p
GUI: 0/10 Next version, please!
Nuances: 8/10 Lots of great little changes, especially the new tips system. From an unbiased viewpoint, you deserve a 8/10. However, I'm still freaking fuming over the fact that not even my very best suggestion has influenced this release at all. :beaten_nf:

While the developers do deserve all the compliments they can get, I'm still disappointed. That's about all the ranting I'm going to give on the subject, even though I feel alot more strongly about this stuff, so I hereby declare myself mature.

 

Put it in the bugtracker, the suggestion forums are an ocean of fail that we don't always have time to swim through to find the couple of shiners

 

based on the changelog, empires development is heading in the right direction. good job, guys.

 

....... If putting it on the bug tracker means it will get fixed, then I'll do that.

Edit: Done.

 

First impression:
Vehicle code optimization is just fantastic, servers can cope with the double number of tanks now without lag. 20 vs 20 tank battles are awesome especially combined with the new particles. There is potential for great trailers.

 

AAWWWW YEAAHHH!!!!
:D


Altough i still tought it still had a crapload of bugs and was still in Beta phase.
Guess that changed.

 

That really makes me wonder... What was wrong with it before?

 

Empires is a beta :p There's the beta (public) and the beta thats so beta it's for testers :eek:

 

Mostly empires just really needs a GUI overhaul now that most of the underlying stupid is gone.

Also, yay pretty particles.

 

awesome, can't wait to d/l it.

I play with you guys in about 3 weeks once my NZ internet has managed to finish the download.

 

I didnt make the installer

also, It's been MOOtant's fault all along, he is the one that does the linux builds

 

+ Removed unnecessary (un)parenting when getting attachments.

 

You don't want to know.

Also, Linux builds have been added to my hosted installer.

Yea yea GUI, I know, I know XD. My schedule got bumped back a couple weeks XD.

 

I remember hearing about parenting issues with tanks (random outbursts, screaming, etc)...

 

i found a lovely little bug.
the engi calculator had 0 charges... and it didnt recharge...
it wasnt possible to drop any engi stuff either...

yay.

 

Yeah we know about it, have any specifics on what you did? It's a tough bug to fix.
