It is almost one month after the release of 2.25. Therefore it's a good time to have a review. Likes: - overhauled maps - particles - vehicle camouflage - soft player collisions - small hud overhauls (current research, vehicle customization) - Speedometer - Tickets used instead of deaths - Steam avatar Dislikes: - free APC spawn (haven't seen heavy tanks on maps like duststorm for a long time) - district (prefered _alt5) - Nuke and Arty explosions (only display time should be halved. Currently Nuke effect is visible for about 5 seconds) Should be fixed: - crashes - BE medium tank viewpoint - wrong smoke for buildings (already fixed in 2.25b?) - NF commander vehicle (physbox) - Lag when first vehicle spawns on conquest maps And for the balance I haven't seen major issues. All trees seems to be useable. For the next balance change I would prefer to have statistics from every round first. Players count (all servers):
interesting graph. where did u find this? no. buildings still look sapped/damaged from time to time after they have been repaired to full health.
Made a little program which is parsing this website http://www.game-monitor.com/GameSearch/empires2/Teamplay.html for the number of players. Program: http://www.pfffr.de/Emp.class Source: http://www.pfffr.de/Emp.java Execute: java Emp [interval in ms]
Fuck yeah Java. I fucken love Java. Your graph should have weekends or Friday-Sunday marked clearly on it imo.
lol the player count crashes towards the end... anyways. soft collisions are fucking annoying as shit. although i do agree, that they are better than hard collisions.
.:.HeXi.:. emcalex329: Ignore the last peace of the red line. It's only a statistic calculation error. No other opinions about likes and dislikes?
why is that flashe? it just would grow and disappear twice as fast unless, sip though about making it totally disappear in the middle of the effect, which would be stupid
