In response to yesterday's list server termination, 1.9.75 is now being released. Once you have played around with it for a bit and can verify that there are no glaring bugs, I will point the 1.9 autoupdater to it - and everyone can come and join us in the latest and greatest version ever!
Slightly smoother buggy walldriving and skipping off terrain
Server setting defaults no longer "stick" from your last played game - Igizmo
Server settings text field has been moved to the bottom of it's panel, and now always shows the latest "serialized" settings for you to edit, copy, or paste into
Tank track rotation locking and overall tank autoleveling tuned for utility and realism. The tank can still drive straight to top of any hill - but it now takes a bit more skill and strategy to prevent yourself from being "ratcheted" off the steepest cliff faces
-Aubrey
P.S. Sorry it took so long to get this released. I have been trying to upload it for hours, but my internet is practically offline right now... In fact, as of the time of this writing, the native windows and dashboard builds are still in my upload que - so they probably won't be available for download right away.
Thank you! I am rather exited, though players probably will not be pouring in until tomorrow, players get ready to boot! Don't boot on contact, try to teach, and make contact, there will be a major downpour of question, and criticism! Keep your cool people!
Back to thanking Aubrey, I pretty much derailed my own comment LOL!
Again thank you! This will be exiting! I apologize you are unable to do this the way you wished, but good luck!
^That happens sometimes, depends on how much you got shot, then if you join the same game you were shot in, your score can get a little screwy. It's been happening for a long time.
great job aubrey!! this new version rocks! the flying is amazing when agility is up :D. thanks for such a great job!! and i think it is actually good that all the newbies will be joining this version. we can teach them how awesome the game has gotten and (hopefully) be able to keep a straight face when they ask" whats this giant purple thing?!"
This version has plenty of "Shock and Awe". No other online dogfigting game comes close without a game box and maybe not even then. Thanks so much!
I love flight Agility set high and low for different effects!
re; 1.9 joining us - I am looking forward to a target-rich environment! :P
I have found 4 glitches so far;
1. Non responding vehicle are seen by others as shooting from a stationary position and are easily rammable for quarry by others though text still works. This syndrome used to begin at 6 or more players in 1.97 but has been reduced to about four. The vehicle in this pic was shooting . The (not responding) sign is not always there with these vehicles and I suspect it's less of a game bug and more that the host computer/connection can't handle hosting.
2. I see no games listed from the browser version and many games from the app for Mac.
3. Opening a server in-browser sometimes freezes the world choices. (not the computer)
4. Please view my Lava Alt slider in this pic. It is set at max low yet there is no land. (wide screen pic taken with Mac built-in "Grab" Timed Screen and saved as .jpg 100 kb)
5. Air to ground lasers (buggies) almost never register. I know that you know this Aubrey, I'm simply reporting everything that I can.
its gonna be anoying with all the noobs but after a while i think the veterans i.g The dude Kruncher Babag, and of corse flyclub will be able to de noobify at least some of them
And if no thers all ways the great saying " if they deserve the kick u can always EVICT"
Im a bit peeved to be honest. Like kruncher said, no games in browser. Please fix, i would beg but im to tired too. Also, i dont care how but make a ban feature. bring peace back to mars.
OK! Now i take back the app being annoying..for now. But more importantly, The Worst bug i see is the server settings bug which i have posted about before-It still exists. To sum it up, Certain people in my server cant see the specific settings i have, i believe they only see the default settings. Its a bummer to reset everything. Thank you.
There seems to be a bug with the air-to-ground lasers not registering, and another one with people not responding all of a sudden. Any reason why this could be happening?
Baba, I had the same problem but I found out when ever I "refreshed server list" the list would go blank and so I tryed "comand/R" to reset the whole screen and it would reset but the server list was still blank, so finally I just closed the screen ( I was useing a widget) and then brote it up again and I finally got the server list, I've had to do that tons of times ('cause i keep forgetting that if i click "refresht server list" it blanks it )and it gives me the server list back! I hope I helped with your problem!
I have an idea for the lava. Now that you can go under-lava, mabye the vehicles should be tinted red because everything else is tinted red. Just a thought.
Hey, here's a sidenote. There is a group of kids in a school in Alberta of about 30 people, and that's about 75% noobs. They're pretty persistent. Just sayin'. FYI, they are hardcore pathetic occasionally.
1: Not an issue: a comment: you can drive up the lava in the volcano?!
2: i dont exactly remember the term. basically it was limits for sanity. they stop settings from going over what the bars can do. TAKE THEM AWAY. PLEASE?
is the widget on apple.com yet? we get more players that way you know. its how i found the game. plus it totally pwns every other dashboard widget known to man every time.
I know I am a little late on bug reporting, but I thought it would be good to include this. When going into someone's server and they have all these funky physics set one decides they have had enough and starts their own. The physics from that other server are still remembered, they even register as "default" no matter how many times you click the "Default All" button. Also, sometimes physics are carried over separately. I was in an "anti-gravity" server one time (Very annoying), I left, then, I joined FC's server, I was still in anti-gravity even while he was not. His physics were set completely different.
Yeah, I am wondering what those energy(?)/plasma(?)/gas(?) rings(?) are..... Could they be the distance out that you can ram somebody/be hit by lasers?
Suggestion: For simplicity, why not just call it 1.9.8? That way we can get back on track to 2.0, as 1.9.75 is half way between 1.9.8, and 1.9.7 lol, it was just a half version called in emergency. Not even a beta, an alpha until it needed to be released...
Oh Aubrey, allot of us would like to have sane server settings only an option! WE LOVED INSANE SETTINGS!!! In fact, if you agree with me that it should only be an option, please leave a comment saying so! (large text so that this is easily seen when many other comments are added after it)
I just experienced what you described. Every game I joined had the exact same unplayable goofball physics (no grav, max lava, max fog, no badges, flight cranked to minimum)......except the one where I joined as a bot. It's been a while since that happened.
insanity |inˈsanitē|nounthe state of being seriously mentally ill; madness : he suffered from bouts of insanity | [as complement ] he attempted to plead insanity.• extreme foolishness or irrationality : it might be pure insanity to take this loan | the insanities of our time.ORIGIN late 16th cent. : from Latin insanitas, from insanus (seeinsane ).
- Well It sounds like most good players I know... They fool around on Mar, which is highly irrational.
Could we please have some insanity brought back to this all to sane world of yours?
- Only as an option of course. *s*
Also, it would be cool if you added the option of limiting the numbers of players allowed on a server, so a host could play with a few players and not get flooded by random players all the time.
-My server sank into the ground when we were eight players, and none of us were able to play, so please give us the option of limiting the number of allowed players on our servers.
Krunch, I am glad you experienced this! :D Erm, not glad you had to go through it...jus'...just...glad I'm not the only one. Haha. +F (<<<Muh bu'k-teeth-squi'tin'-cyclops!)
I would usaully be using a mac but my mom took it and my dad almost never has time to stay home and let me use it so I have to use my old windows computer except if I play it on the internet it's to slow and when I download it I don't know what to do!
