Battleships Map

[Flaminfirexxx]

Recently I suggested the changing of the hosted Battleships from 3v3 to 5v5 like it's supposed to be played. Admittedly, I hadn't played on ENT's Battleships bot before that. I noticed upon joining that I had to download the map, which struck me as odd, but I didn't have a problem with it since I figured it was necessary in order to get information for W/L/ELO etc.

As soon as the game started, we voted Same Random Ships just for the fun of it. Turns out we were all given submarines. No problem.


The problem was that the image model for the submarine got lost somewhere in the process, and you were left with just a shadow (an empty model). You still had all the abilities and skills which led me to believe the problem was with the submarine image model.

Further, you can't click on your ship or anyone elses. It's unclickable. This makes it impossible to be targeted by target spells like torpedo (which in subs-only, is significant). In addition, you can't click your allies ships or your opponents to see what items they have, which also plays a significant part in the game.

I started advertising in ships channels to start playing games on this bot, and recruited a bunch of testers to test it out. This made one leave at the start since he couldn't figure out how to click his ship and everyone else attempted to play it out. Of course, we didn't have fun because we couldn't see each other, all the ships were essentially invisible, and we couldn't click to see what items each other had or target them with spells (which almost all spells are targetable).

If this map is to continue to be hosted... This needs to change ASAP. This is something that should be relatively easy to fix, but will break the map if it's not. If there is any way this could be fixed, I would appreciate it if it was done as soon as possible and the updated version hosted on the bot so I can continue to try to bring people to ENT's bot.

Thanks!

/e I forgot to save the replay.... but I have repeatedly tested this and every time it comes up the same way, and only with the submarine. If you purchase a submarine, you'll see what I'm talking about 100% of the time.

Ok, thanks for reporting. Yeah, the map is protected so when reconstructing the file with the stats code there might've been some missed files. I tried it now and the submarine model shows in the new map, and bot is updated.

Damn. Thanks for the quick fix! Also, let me know if you need an unprotected version.

Unless something else is missing it should be okay.
