Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

It's cool that I actually get to see these changes now...

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

I hope more bots wont impact your performance too much DeadStretch! I think it might make the matches more strategic.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

let's try getting your game to work on all platforms first before adding new features.

vista x64 needs to be looked into.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

I run Vista 64 at home and we have several Vista 64 machines at work running the game. It could be your specific setup.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

The machine I play and run a dedicated server on is vista 64.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

Is autobalance just for odd number of players per team?

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

Yeah, I'm interested to see how autobalance will work

Also, why are tags being removed? Too many people using things like [F**K]?

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

If teams are off by more than one, autobalance kicks in next time someone respawns but still respects class limits set by the server. On respawn, a message that states "Congrats, you've been traded to..." let's the player know they've been autobalanced.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

If it's dynamically changeable like it is in TF2, jeahsome. Can put your own brackets or whatever you want in your name for a tag.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

Cool, I've been hoping for something like that

Has anything been done to the "changeteam" command to prevent the traded player from just switching back though?

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

Yes,no more changeteam command until we add some more UI features to support it in case where changing team is applicable.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

Thanks Eka. I'm worried though if I get emotionally invested in my side winning... and then I get bumped to the other side. >.>

I really want a change team command though.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

Agreed. In those games you've been going at it for awhile, its incredibly annoying to get swapped because you just happened to die at the wrong time. Alot of people will quit the game when that happens.

I like how other games have implemented it, they will swap over the most recent person to join the team.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

Playing a game 2v5 isn't very fun either on a heavy team based game like ours. We can modify and improve the behavior once it's out and see how people play with it. Autobalance is a server option that can be turned off just like team select in Lobby.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

I agree. But what if people drop from a game and you get bumped to the other team at the 5 minute mark? 10 minute mark? This is what I'm worried about. Are you transferring the newest players to the game first?

I still definitely want that changeteam option. Just implement it Counterstrike style.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

Yeah it sucks to be the person to get switched, but it's usually for the greater good.

The problem I can see is if your team is JUST about to win, and the other team starts leaving. You might get cheated out of your $1000 winning bonus by getting switched at the last second

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

I feel like we have to reiterate this with every new feature but I'll say it again. Try it out before making up you mind on it.

Re: Patch notes for the next update (#5)

I'm just asking about how you guys coded it Eka, and what potential issues might arise.
