Empires Vet Pug- Friday 30th March 21:00 BST/4pm EDT/1pm PDT

I can harrass enough to get people to care though, look at marcin, I made him look into the model falling through building thing after enough spamming :D

 

Stop wasting the time of my coders. We have 3 fucking major bugs left to fix, and then we can release. 3. We get them done, we get the release done, then you can go wild with your spam, but let them concentrate on fixing the last 3 issues holding us back.

Custom content.
Skill bug.
Collisions.

 

Never looked into it paradox :D

Fixed Collision bug , me and SPIKE tested it out and seems fixed ( collisions are solid now )

 

Fuck yeah, 2 left.

 

nope, getting out of a tank stops bio damage, 3 left atleast.

 

What? Are you shitting me? I already had to hackjob fix bioML not dealing impact damage.

 

bitch please, the ragdolls falling through buildings is imo way more important than skillbug, skillbug is just minor rage, seeing someones arm stick out of the floor is not normal. I mean I've asked multiple players in the server, and they all agree skill bug is not that big of a deal compared to players falling through building models and sometimes through the fucking map.

 

skill bug is minor rage... calculator bug not filling up is major rage!

 

OW GAWD FIX THIS

 

Release patch before mod dies, fix that shit later. Release it after May when most people's exams are over.

 

what he said, btw why cant you guys like just release a new patch whenever you fix 1 thing?

 

because they have to send it to steam. If they send too many updates to steam they get annoyed(I guess). What I don't understand is look at NS2 they put out updates like frigging crazy... we could put out updates as fast as them couldn't we?

Besides that, I mean seriously... we can't get a hold of anyone who has custom content in their games from external sources(not in gcf) so we can figure that out? It also seems like steam says F you guys, your not paying me to help you, so rot in hell.

 

I thought calc bug was fixed too

Also no, we can't just release patches all the time, Valve already take ages to commit them when we want to. And I don't see how you can even slightly compare us to NS2. You pay for NS2. You don't pay for Empires.

 

Another thing, Particles.

IMO Particles are way too overdone in the SVN, Mortar is a mini Atom bomb, Nukes are 0_0, Plasma is friggin lighting, etc etc.

Also your fps will die.

 

And the missing texture in vf build menu needs fixed. That said if each dev could afford an hour or two of their time it should be enough to fix these bugs

 

I tried to get Empty's attention on the mortar explosion like half a year ago but he pretty much refused to change it because he couldn't see the problem with it.

 

Has Empires even released a single patch since it was put on Steam?

 

.... No?

Says you... I was having a 2x boost in fps. Well by myself anyways I haven't seen a server online to connect too.

 

No we haven't, but I do remember how much hassle it was actually getting the steam release. There's a reason we're on a version of Empires older than 2.31. It's because Valve took so fucking long to release.

 

Yeah, but that was the release, i'm pretty sure that now any Empires patch will get the same treatment as any other game patch: Upload to their FTP and wait 2-5 days for a Valve employee to transfer it to Steam. That's why Valve offered mods the Steam service, so they can bugfix often without hassle.

NB: I am not in any way proposing that we should release the new patch with known bugs in it. That would be terrible policy.
