Open version

[RaptorXI]

Hey guys, dear friend or fan of our game

I wasn't the best to take over the job as a mapper and won't have as much time anymore on trying out and learning. Although the traditional way to get to the unprotected version was to contact one of the older and ask, i don't see any future if we keep it like this.
So everyone who wants to continue or just look how everything works, may hereby do so.

So you retire from map development?

[RaptorXI]

Yes.

Do we want to consider re-opening development briefly to try and fix the auto mode giving red fewer hit points on all units? I am guessing it has to do with the way the auto mode uses handicap settings to pass in variables.. But I actually don't know and haven't researched much into it. It just seems like it should be fixed. I know most games are not close enough to warrant this change, but in competitive games, those HP are everything.

Check the code for the HostBot Command Library. The version in the map is probably v1.00, which has a few differences (on two separate lines) from the latest version that I know of (v1.01). Here is what was changed:

Code: Select all

v1.01
- Fixed a potential rounding issue when reading the handicap
- Fixed a floating point precision issue when assigning the handicap


That is probably the issue you're dealing with.

@nvs Thanks for the information. I just checked and we were using the old library. I've updated the map and will try to get it uploaded immediately.

Thanks!

EDIT: That worked! Thank you!

Just saw a new map updated. Is this the only change? Been a little more out of the loop as of late. @XGdeath3

@we-giv-up-u-win There were a few other updates, I listed them in the map. Off-hand, I think they were:
-HCL update
-A few text strings updated
-uhh, I thought there was a third thing, but I forgot. xD

I didn't change balance or anything big.

He is too shy to name himself as author.
And the third thing is change about spy ability, a detailed description is in the F9 log.

To answer to some PMs:
Everyone still can do whatever with the open version, but the current official version is 2.33 by XGDeath3.
