first ninja'd jk this is awesome. But one question... does the rank get reset when this gets pushed to stable? Also, I think I'm going to buy every commander when I get a job in a few weeks. EDIT: the Stickman9000 should be Stickman9001
I'll be on that automatch starting in a few hours. I'm very excited! Diremachine looks really good. Definitely my favorite out of this set.
So my day tomorrow will start around 7:30. It now is 21:37. Well you tried hard to not release at 1:00 at least,.
Do rankings from PTE will stay in stable? I'll screw over my ranking while trying to make PA Stats work with it. EDIT: Also everyone disable PA Stats while playing ranked, it is broken there. You'll create broken data like this: http://pastats.com/chart?gameId=233537 EDIT 2: new_game_ladder.js loads mods for new_game. The scenes are not 100% compatible, so this is clearly a bug.
Not all are for sale. If they are custom for only the one person, we usually let them be the first to see them.
/pa - new file: pa/terrain/brush_list.json (also, decal and feature) EDIT: loaded, but not usable yet. - new file: imperial_base_alt01.json Appears to have foot jets; not used anywhere. /server-script - now has a lobby subdirectory; color and commander tables moved there - color-manager and commander-manager - lobby has ladder_systems_table (3 systems currently) - new lobby watchdog to track player abandonment - state for ladder_lobby - game types are no longer numbers (affects UI as well), now represented by strings ['FreeForAll', 'TeamArmies', 'VersusAI', 'Ladder1v1'] that I've seen. - misc changes and refactoring /ui - obvious stuff for ranking - added to game over screen, etc. The existing matchmaking scene was used and overhauled. - new_game reworked pretty extensively; looks like there may have been an earlier attempt to host ladders in the existing lobby. - new_game_ladder scene; as cola observed it loads mods for new_game - lots of localization - touching many in-game panels - action bar, build bar, economy, players - live game unit alerts no longer using ko conditionals for messages - load system screen overhauled - I see functions for import and export system - related: api.file.loadDialog/saveDialog - system editor overhaul; probably easier to just look at it ;^) - api.game.setFullScreen(boolean) - toggle fullscreen keyboard command saves setting when switching. - common.js touched - new file: db_utility - new ko extender: db
