Post by: Entamis on September 26, 2004, 10:40:06 pm: I think I\'m doing pretty well, I\'m 10 on the high score list now. I have some questions though.
1. Either I don\'t understand something or there is a bug. When I attack it always says I lose 1 unit or no units at all, but when I check I see I have much more losses.
2. Why when I attack someone only my first attack succeeds? When I attack again I always fail.
3. I have some negative numbers in \'we own\' part of the buildings table. Weird.
4. How can I advance to next era?
5. How can I research more than 4 technologies?
EDIT:
Wow, I have many questions indeed. :D
6. I made a deposit in the world bank (over 100 millions) but now I have only 10 millions. Maybe it reached the maximum balance and went crazy?

That is a bug of course...since last version military underwent total rewrition....therefore bugs there that shall be fixed.

Quote
2. Why when I attack someone only my first attack succeeds? When I attack again I always fail.

That is not bug. That might be because your just can go through enemy\'s defenses..but when you attack you lose health...health directly responsible for your offensive power...therefore it is less...so you might not have enough power to go through enemy\'s defenses now.

Quote
3. I have some negative numbers in \'we own\' part of the buildings table. Weird.

Thats bug too for whole building needed to be rewriten in order to suit new terrain rules that wil be fixed too.

Quote
5. How can I research more than 4 technologies?

Note that you can click on the name of research...if you do that you will be able to access new technologies.

Quote
6. I made a deposit in the world bank (over 100 millions) but now I have only 10 millions. Maybe it reached the maximum balance and went crazy?

I am sorry never ahd time to fisnish world bank properly..so there it is it just eats money...i\'ll try to fix it up as soon as i can.

There you have it. Anything else?

Its in research...after you research basic economy or production...:P Can\'t remember which...
Title:
Post by: Entamis on September 27, 2004, 05:21:59 pm: Est. Production: 0
Est. Income: $0
You can build 0 structures per turn.
Something is definitely wrong.

Indeed, this is actually a beta testing so i could see how new things work/don\'t work, how balanced they are...etc...i myself can\'t do such testing...well even though last version was stable it wasn\'t as good as this one...

If you go to Game Guide in military section you will see the stats for the troops...but if you are lazy yes the more expensive the better...

Post by: Entamis on October 02, 2004, 11:25:05 pm: OK, no income bug seems to be fixed, but I spotted 2 more:

1. When I build a lot of buildings of one type, numbers of other types of building decrease by 100. I\'m sure it\'s the reason why there were negative building numbers, now they stop decreasing when they reach 0. So it\'s only partially fixed.

2. In research some technologies are incorrectly marked as researched/not researched. For example when I click on Scale Armor to access new technologies it says \"Scale Armor have not been researched yet!\", but when I try to research it I get \" Already Researched\".

I like this game, when you get rid of bugs it\'ll be very good. Good luck. :tup:

Post by: Myrtl on October 03, 2004, 06:52:04 am: omg! I have some with like 10x my networth attacking me! That is not fair! He took like 150k of my land:(

Post by: Phinehas on October 14, 2004, 05:16:27 pm: Ok, I have some questions, since your manual is a little lacking. Also, some of this may be bugs, I\'m unsure.

1. I attacked another empire. Totally kicked butt. Captured a bunch of land, but... when I go to build, it doesn\'t show any of the land. How come? :(

2. Also, it\'d be great if your magic help file had explanations for all the spells, and maybe add a building helpfile and stuff.
Title:
Post by: John_Thazer on October 14, 2004, 06:14:09 pm: Hm...first apears to be a bug what land type did you capture? As for magic...well I didn\'t update it because the new magic system will follow up soon (when i get some time!!!)...

Ye this is uber strange bug...it appears that the game cannot cope with very large numbers...well this set is a beta of v3.0 v3.1 should have all these fixed...hopefully...
Title:
Post by: Zeraph on October 15, 2004, 04:20:52 pm: well, depending on if you know anyone in 3D, you could start working on a 3D version of your game, maybe even a 3D client that can connect to your server so the text based play is possible aswell... I haven\'t seen an online 3D game like this...
Title:
Post by: John_Thazer on October 15, 2004, 06:58:52 pm: Haha a 3D Chaos Wars..lol thats a thought...although I am not as good with other programming languages...alhough they all preaty much the same...and then I will be a engine...:P...Ohhhhhhhhhh...I do know someone who can do 3D LOL...meeeeeeeeehh...

Let\'s look through sorceforge and see if they got anything there...dum dum...

*EDIT* Hm...Crystal Space 3D LOL...well will do :P

Mehh this is stupid...why am I bothering...wel maybe \'cos i am bored with waiting for CB :P

Post by: Zeraph on October 15, 2004, 11:46:26 pm: I\'d start with making a client that can access the Internet & submit & retrieve information just like one of the web pages, then maybe you can get some people to help code 3D stuff such as graphical representation of battles or whatever happens in the game...

Finaly I know why that was happening! It\'s not the game\'s bug but PHP bug, PHP cannont handlt Square Rooting and when it tries to square root number above 500k it gives out negative. (And I thought I messed something up)

Play us on http://www.chaoticwarriors.uni.cc

It can handle them...but it does it wrong so the number is negative...and so enemy actually gains units instead of losing them. But don\'t worry I am going to fix it...I\'ll just change the formula from Square Root to somethign else.
