When will 2.26a released?

2.26 in general is ok beside the minimap thing.
Nobody likes it and because it should replace commander targets, having the new minimap also on conquest maps is a bug or was forgotten.

- Should we try out it longer or will it even stay?

- Are there plans to fix this soon with a small 2.26a release?

- Or do the developers want to discuss about this longer to find a better solution?

- Or is just MOOtant not available?

 

2.26a will be released pretty soon, MOOtant is rewriting minimap so it's no longer buggy. Some small changes to automatic targeting will probably be made (stuff no longer shows up on minimap, but only on-screen with diamonds and only the radar has a spotting range). Should fix the Conquest map issue. In the meanwhile, we'll (= everyone) be discussing possible extensions to the new spotting system that aren't too much of a hassle (out goes my LoS system )

 

What will happen, if radar is sabotaged? Will it lose it's spotting ability?
And will the range stay at the large value of 5000 units?

 

I dunno lol

 

Values will be decided after the rewrite. Stop crying over such specifics, if it doesn't work, it'll get balanced.

Also, it's more likely going to be 2.27 considering the changes. If we get some new maps in, as well as new scripts, as well as the new target system, then it'll probably deserve to be 2.3.

 

If the additional tasks will cause too much delay then please release 2.26a anyway to have a quick fix.

 

So spotting units and buildings will last longer? If so, it should be able to be binded in the controls. Also each squad member should be able to set a target, so a squad could have up to 5 targets. Or is they being removed?

 

It'll happen how it happens.

 

well i hope you are right about it coming out soon because i went on a couple days ago and it was the first time in ever that empires had no one on.

Yo check it.

 

Mootant had way too much time on his hands the past month. 3 versions released, testing, debugged, updated and released again.

Targets a scout gives with binocs last a full minute now btw.

Radar stealth works right, so does hide. Enhanced senses also work. In other words, scout driving APC should be a decent tactic now.

 

Oh, ok cool

 

it's going to be dead until targets come back.

 

Just wondering here... How come 2.26 was released? Why not wait till what you're working on is done?

 

Because MOOtant is the only person coding, so it's really his right to release when he wants.

 

Because there are no working steamworks nor testing.
