WCS Server INFO

[ZERO]

The WCS TEST SERVER IS UP!!!

The password is: ibiswcs

Yes you read that right! IBIS has taken the first steps to restoring the WCS server. Doing this will take a few months but hopefully with everyone's help we can be back up in no time.

It is important to note that the testing will be done in STAGES. Currently we are testing base abilities for races. Once we get the abilities for all the races working we will then be testing other things.

This thread here: http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4600
is to track the progress of race development. Anything that you see in yellow is what is currently under testing. Do not report problems with anything not in yellow.

Here are some other notes for this release:


There will be no xp saved, you will get free levels by typing levelbank in chat. This makes it easy to get all the abilities for a race to test that they work.

Commands are the same except powers now use +ultimate and +ability

NOTHING is configured, yes I KNOW THE SHOPMENU DOES NOT TAKE MONEY. It can and that is all that matters right now.

We are ONLY TESTING ABILITIES. The point of the public beta at this stage is for ABILITY TESTING ONLY! All other "bugs" will be ignored.

Over time we will be testing different things, regardless of what we are testing keep an open mind for ideas, it is possible that we may want to change some races abilities a little bit from what they were before.

Mani admin console commands DO NOT WORK. You must use the menu accessed via esc after pressing your admin bind. THIS is a test server, anyone who had ADMIN a few days ago on the PUB will have admin. Anyone who does not will not have ADMIN on the test server. It can be requested if you need it that badly but this is a test server only.

[ZERO]

MANI WILL BE OFF UNTIL I FIX IT. For some reason mani prevents the password from working if it is on (who could have see this lol)

The important thing is that it steals health. Armor can be added, we are just testing base functions. :wtg:

Mole bug - Randomly moled without buying the item on night elf and then moled about 10:45 PM (EST) on orc when i switched team without buying mole item.

human:
i think you can update bash and teleport to light green.
invisibility seems to work on-and-off

edit: can you also increase the levels in levelbank by alot? 30's not enough to test all the abilities w/out leveling manually...and the new xp progression pretty much rules that one out (6000 xp to get to level 12 from 11... o.O)

I did it o.O

Warden:

Current Vengeance ability allows for a respawn every 30 seconds you are alive.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

I did it o.O

what level to what level?
you must admit, requireing upwardsof 8000 xp to gain another level is a bit much for ability testing.

and blade, how'd you come up with that figure?

[ZERO]

I did not alter any xp settings. Everything is staying vanilla for now until the release an auto cfg for the latest version. This way I will have access to all the settings.

looking forward to it

we're just testing to make sure the abilities work at all right?

or that they work, but not the correct way (i.e. teleport)

ive played undead 80% of my time on the test server so far and have not seen that problem once.

[X 1 Viper1]

I am not sure which class it is, but i think it is warden where you have the chance to respawn when you die? But there is a problem if you are another class then die you can switch to warden, and still have a chance to respawn. Idk if that is supposed to happen, because i never played wcs before but just trying to help find bugs.

yeah that's not good.

plus the respawn now occurs whenever you've been alive for about 30 seconds (i.e. die, respawn, be alive for more than 30 sec., die, respawn...)

well, when they die, about 7 econds later they should reappear at spawn.

and that's it. you respawn once, with a higher chance to do so w/ each level. it's not like orc where you can just, keep, fucking, respawning.

at least that's how i remembered it. i rarely played warden towards the end

orc can only respawn by themselves once, thats a bloodmage fucking with you is all.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

orc can respawn many times. the main problem now is that respawns are immediate. before there was always 5 seconds or so before the respawn.

[ZERO]

The time does not matter right now, only the actual respawn. When the current beta goes live we will start programing races.

[taz1stP]

seems the humans invisibility is working better today.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

seems the humans invisibility is working better today.

keep in mind it caps at about 65% (if we're following the old numbers)

and flame pred capped at 80%. human w/ max invis is still easy as fuck to see in most normal cases. they're just harder to track well in darkness or shadows, and it helps keep opponents from following them through the air (with teleport like it is supposed to be)

[maynard]

dude, you've been told like 10 times... THIS IS JUST BETA TESTING!!! stop freaking out over the little things that don't matter right now. we just want 2 make sure all the abilities work, that's all that matters. all the timing, and everything else can be changed later, but obviously the abilities in them self's need 2 be working.

crypt lords ultimate doesnt reach the target, it says tht the target is not in range even if they are right next to you

shadow hunter wards are sketchy too

[maynard]

it works perfectly fine. they're either 1, using necklace of immunity which makes it not work, or they're shadow hunter which has a % change 2 avoid it happening 2 them.

[Wolfenstinger]

Human Alliance
Teleport: The user's model now appears at where they aim; nolonger catapulted through the air. Allows them to go anywhere (and i mean anywhere) they can see as long as they are within range and there is no ulti blocker.

Night Elf
Entangling Roots: Roots 1 player, not multiple. Have to target?

Blood Mage
Banish: Still does the drug effect but now adds a black screen (blind) in it.

Warden
Shadow Strike: Acts as a poison now instead of an actual +dmg ability. Ex. 100 hp, get hit by a smoke gernade to the face; shadow strike activated. 99 hp from smoke grenade, ending up with 85 hp or less due to shadow strike.

Shadow Hunter
Hex: I know it nolonger slows but been playing with it being able to resist enemy skill attacks. I GUESS it somewhat works out but not entirely sure.

Rest of abilities seem to work fine. (i know this is beta but obviously the %s and stuff need to be adjusted.)

P.S.
im such a WCS whore... :lmao:

EDIT:

Undead Scourge
Vampiric Aura: Life Steal allowed you to leech hp to your heart's desire (in otherwords, you could go over 100 hp.) Now it just keeps you at 100 hp.

the server is up for ability testing. as long as the ability is working (and I don't mean how it was working prior 2 this, just working in general.) it's fine. zero can fine tune all the rest once we move on and progress further with the server.

once again for every 1, the server is just up for ability testing, nothing more.

in that case... everything seems to work ability wise.

should we be testing shop items as well or no?

[ZERO]

Not yet, in a few days I hope to start to modify some of the races to make their settings work the way they did before. We may switch to look at shop menu items if a gap in development opens up.

Shadow Hunter Wards are broken, when u plant one in the air they dont hit the enemy even if hes directly under them, even plain jumping into it wont do any dmg, you have to jump + crouch directly under it for it to do any type of dmg for a split second.

[Jewbat]

Finally, here I am posting...

Anyways, what is broken to my knowledge (I know most of this has been reported):

Shadow Hunter:
- Small range on wards (have to be IN them to be affected)
- Wards are PERMANENT. Don't ever go away.

Orcish Horde:
- CL does not go through obstacles. Not sure if this is intentional. Originally they were able to go through walls at enemies within X range.

Night Elf:
- Same issue as Chain Lightning. Targets that are obscured cannot be hit\ with Entangle.

Blood Mage:
- No limit to amount of revives.
- Flame Strike hits for VERY little damage, and same issue as CL and Entangle.

Warden:
- Respawn has no limit to it, after a uncertain amount of time (People have said 30~ seconds) he can respawn with no end as long as he is not the last person left.
- Fan of Knives seems to have an EXTREMELY low rate of working.

That's about it. I would suggest some changes or ideas, but I know it is beta, so I will suggest when the time comes.

Also. will we be getting our levels back after beta testing? i.e. Levels prior to switching to this new version of the mod.

dude, the things you pointed out have already been done so by other people...

if you read the entire thread you would have seen that, and that zero has said a few times and myself "that the server is up 2 test the abilities, we just need 2 know that they work(not like they did before) just work is all"

which means your post is pointless. zero is not fixing the timing and all that of the race abilities till they have ALL been tested more then likely... like I said, read the thread before posting, it's all there.

[ZERO]

It is not as if any of the progress was lost. I am basically waiting for the current beta to become a stable release before actually doing anything anyways. In a few weeks when my dam computer is rebuilt (for the last time) I expect the beta to also be done and then things will start moving really fast. I have even been coming up with some ideas for some cool new races and so I am really excited to get wcs back up so that I can add them!

ummm I dunno bout you guys but has anyone else noticed the cataclsym server and joinwcs both are up an running on the same program base as Zero is implementing and don't say it's different because all the races are exactly the same as when the test server is up.

since i must assume zero looked into obtaining those mods

Yea that just means they are planning on actually using RAW WAR3. We are using that as testing functions only and will be ditching the races for the ones we had before.

Most of the races that require abilitys are nothing like our old ones. Aka shadow hunter blows / any teleport skill sucks dick / invisiblity is trash cause you are highlighted blue/red

not true. the reason it seems like that is because it's so different from high school, and high school DOES NOTHING TO PREPARE YOU!!!

what really screws people up is the freedom. the fact that, you can completely blow off classes, and they won't come looking for you.

Once all of these are confirmed working I will add a few more of the popular ones while also getting the final settings on the current races configured. Once that it all done we will then go into the final quality and settings check before live.

Right now the largest impacting factor on public release is the speed you guys can get this stuff tested :wtg:

I got blackmage 2 help me, and all have been tested. they all work fine other then claws of attack. wasn't saying or showing us that any extra dmg was being added when we would shoot each other. other then that, everything else worked fine.

Other comments:

Although the server doesn't give xp when it's a solo player, tomes still do. Also, and items bought when solo carry over when other players join, relevant for if you have items that cost 800 or less, or empty server times. Suicidex7 = 1:30 = 200xp.

Limit is at a time, not per life. (Only really relevant to Mole currently)

Also, the limit of 3 items does work.

Ankh can be bought while dead, and grabs Secondaries back, but not nightvision and defusal. (not sure how it worked initially, but that is how it does now). Scroll of Respawn works the same way.

Have never seen the deagle spawn for Archmage though M4 certainly does. This is on all 3 lowest levels of Weapon.

As Maynard said, claws were not working, we tried with guns, neither of us got any showing that it worked, and it did not work with knife.

Could not figure how to shortcut the necklace (neck, necklace, immunity did not work). The following are mislabeled:

Reincarnation does not work, ankh does. Peri.. doesn't, health does. Respawn doesn't scroll does.

Tome, ring work as well as what is listed.

Edit: Ring doesn't stop healing you. I jumped off part of Assault 30 times for usually 19 damage and it was still healing me. The unlimited item, flaming gloves of warmth does work for the entire round.

Constant healing doesn't do it either, bought ring and gloves, never let my hp hit max, still healed constantly:

Damage Given to "Blackmage" - 965 in 18 hits

Scroll of respawn and Ankh give you a free Kevlar and helm. (What I said in a prior version was wrong)

As an aside, server still shows any time anyone says the mod commands.

Buying an item while dead gives it to you the next spawn (used to be unable to buy most items while dead)

I will be working on some minor bugs and patches over the next few days to get the little bugs cleared out. Hope to make another update on Wednesday.

[ZERO]

At some point this week I am going to start the manual recoding of the races we got to get the settings back the way they should be. I am going to start by getting the wards to work the way they should.

[Swifcfer]

It does seem everything works good right now, but as acoylte suggested could we get a refuel on our level bank ? :)

[ZERO]

I just added more levels to the bank. Also patched some settings issues.

[Christmas]

How is the server coming along?

[ZERO]

Expect updates on Wednesday. We are still on track for a live launch this month.

[ChronicVT]

At Live Launch will previous Experience and Levels (basically will I get my Vagabond back, maxed out...) be restored... or will we all be on the first level and restart from scratch...

[BladeTwinSwords]

If I heard correctly, we will be back at square one.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

If I heard correctly, we will be back at square one.

it's going to suck, but i suppose it's good because everyone'll get used to the powers combined w/ the new reg.

it seems like you're going to die far far faster now cause reg is better

[Wolfenstinger]

:ball:
anything else we should expect? :S

[ZERO]

Updated to latest:
MM
SM
War3

These will be the final versions of all of these main plugins unless valve breaks them before release. As a result this is the final major bug test prior to release so please make sure everything it working. I will be editing some of the races to get their settings in order for the final quality check.

Also note that release will not occur until after the new website is up so we can switch admin systems for the live release. The new admin system will also be tested on this server prior to public release.

[Blackmage]

Ran through all the races solo, testing as much as I could. Everything looks the same as before except for:

General:
Using commands still isn't hidden(yes, this is normal for now, but it bothers me)

Orc:
Reincarnation Spams you when you use it, testing says it is showing each slot it can respawn, and if it had an item (shows c4, but I don't think it respawns a new one).
No longer respawns Kevlar at all. (Scroll of respawn works the same as before though)

Archmage Proudmoore
Lift off : Doesn't Gain health

Crypt Lord
Spiked Carapace: Does not give armor (visibly at least)

New Item note:

anti head shot helm, given some new name, black helm of coolness or something of that nature. Can't test, just saying.

[ZERO]

I am now starting to make the code adjustments to the base races. This will permanently branch us so that all of our races will be custom and we will no longer be on stock configs.

[ZERO]

Keep in mind that some things will be different for example the undead will have its ultimate activated manually instead of by chance. The main focus now is to get the level dispersion we had before and the same general balancing as in min and max values for the power of abilities.

[ZERO]

Expect all current races to enter final quality check stage today for abilities and leveling. I am currently coping the wcs server to my computer for local rapid release testing before updating the remote server encase I some how blow it up. Next week I will start to bring in the final features and log/stats tracking into testing so that we can be ready for LIVE.

[ZERO]

Major Update!

All races are now in FINAL TESTING. Confirm that all abilities still work. Now is also the time to suggest tweaks to the settings for the races for adjustment. Right now though the focus is to make sure they work. Also keep in mind that they will not work like they did before. Instead use the current in game raceinfo to determine if it is doing what it should.

Also once we got everything confirmed working I can work with you all to adjust what we need to and to get the final pices in place.

Note that the powers have been greatly altered on some races. For example the wards should now be ten times as large.

[maynard]

ok I took aco in there and we tested everything. all works other then claws of the attack again.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

ok I took aco in there and we tested everything. all works other then claws of the attack again.

yep. after the claws of attack, looks like all that's left is final adjustments for timings/percentages (bash lasts too short and procs too seldom for example), adding the visuals (if possible), the sounds (again, if posible), removing gore mod (seriously zero? like, you had to put it on the test server?), and get levels fixed (once again if possible). then it should be ready for release ^_^

[ZERO]

I will try to get claws working this week so we can test that. Then we can start the final quality check sometime next week. We may dip into the first week of December due to the holidays. But we are very close to getting a release out. Also once the semester ends I should be able to crunch out a race every day or so, once I am in the swing it is really easy to code back to back. So once it gets running we will be updating it quickly.

[ZERO]

New beta version released, I will need to recompile all the races for it to work. Expect us to jump on the beta soon so that I know that everything still works.

[ZERO]

Oh crap! I feel so bad, I wanted get the update out this week so we can move to final beta test. Unfortunately I need to recompile the races for them to work. However, all the sourcecode is back on my main computer...

So now we got to wait until I get back. Expect no updates until the second or third. I really wanted to get everything in before then but we are pushed back just one more week. I may be able to get everything tested that weekend and move into live the week of the 6th if all goes well.

Server has had MM and SM updated.

WCS is updated and all races recompiled. The database has been cleared and all users will now get 300 levels for Final testing. Please ensure that everything is working and ready for release. Final settings and RC1 will be ready next weekend. This is the final beta test before RC1.

[ZERO]

As seen in test race area new code has been found and a number of new races will be added to the test server in the next few days. Only races that have all abilities completed will be released for testing. The rest will remain in development until the needed code can be found.

[ZERO]

As shown in the Test Race Tracker 6 new races are now added and under testing: Flame Pread, Molecule, spider man, Succubus Hunter, Panorama and Genocide.

Note that settings still need to be adjusted for these for example Succubus is doing 1.9, 2.1, 2.4, 4.4 instead of 1.5-1.9 on knife hits just for testing.

Figured out how to get Flickering Shadows to work. You can see it on the server now but the actual skill is not programed so it is just always on. This was a major find as the old skill literally required mani admin to work. So far I am the only one I know of who found a way to do it without mani.

Yea, I think we all recall how stable the old wcs was not to mention how great hit registration was... :violin:

[ZERO]

So here is the plan, as we get close go going live I will be throwing a lot of the old threads into a subform.

This forum will be overhauled with info on the new settings and classes.

A subforum will be created for tracking new race and other software development.

A small 4 slot server will be created at the same address with 2016 port for development testing. This will prevent new races from messing up ranks and stats as they are tested before being ready to go live. This server will be open to the public and will give free levels for testing purposes. Note that the development subform may have additional subforums to help organize information.

Hopefully this will allow me to speed though new development after the server goes live while also being able to make and track balance changes as needed on the live server.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

i am very impressed and excited

Ok for Vagabond I need to know how you guys want the ultimate to be leveled. You have two settings:

Cooldown and PushForce

Logically the cooldown will go to basically 0 like before. However what should the ranges of PushForce be compared to now?
Currently it is .7 @ level 1 and 1.7 @ level 10 and just 1.3 for everything in between as a placeholder.

This race is now in the server for testing. The others that are similar will be released soon.

Also Flickering Shadows [NOT Activated] is just there as a test, it will be removed in next version.

Yea, as in how fast you "teleport" to your location. You can be killed in transit just like before! (hoary!?)

[ZERO]

I have done it, I was no hacks... also it is going to be much more possible now due to the improved registration.

I got to redo everything but ultimately I am able to convert the old settings over. When you see something in dark green the settings have been fully converted and it is exactly the same as before. If it is light green only the basic ability has been finished but the settings still need to be converted.

Also now that we have so many we may hold off to release until all races are done so we can get the levels back. However we will look more into this in the coming weeks.

I love you

it's not the end of the world if we dont get our lvls back but would be beyond awesome if we did.... I really don't wana work my way back to lvl 1500 lol

[ZERO]

oh crap just realized a problem...

If you get your levels back there can be no ranking system as for it to work everyone must start at 0 from the time it is implemented...

[maynard]

I think we should keep it the way it is. keep the lvls and just keep the showtop10. we don't honestly need a bigger version of showtop10 at sacrificing every 1's lvls. ranking doesn't really matter on WCS anyway, most just see it as a scoreboard of how much time you've invested playing, instead of skill. also you can check ppls total lvl and compare it 2 your own as a way 2 also show how you rank up amongst others.

if you can re add the lvls, I say go for it. it would actually be really cool 2 step back into the server after all this time, and see everything just like it was before.

we also got this for a means of ranking.

i wouldnt mind my lvl 467 back but hey, maybe its a good thing?
its been so long since we all played wcs why not start from scratch with an even BETTER way to see how much time you have invested into it.

i dont really care which you choose, ill just be happy either way once its live again =D

this. while it would be awesome to come back to my 850+ levels (worked my ass off for those too. you know how bad i am at css) i just want a running server.

[maynard]

well that's the thing, zero said restoring all our previous work would only delay the server by maybe a week at this point cause he's already done half the work needed 2 implement our lvls back.

id rather wait 1 extra week 2 have all my lvls back then play a week earlier and start from scratch.



its been so long since we all played wcs why not start from scratch with an even BETTER way to see how much time you have invested into it.


it's easy for poeple like who you barley played and wernt server regulars 2 not really care, but myself and the other server regulars who've put in a shit load of time don't really want 2 start from scratch, and if it's not going 2 be an issue for zero 2 re add the lvls like he originally thought, then he should re add them.

the only reason not adding the lvls back ever came into play is cause it presented a SERIOUS delay in the server coming back, and due 2 this I told zero 2 not 2 feel obligated 2 getting them back. now that half the work is done we might as well finish it

[ZERO]

Ok so here is the deal:

Currently the server is in a condition to go live after next weekend.

Here is what we would have going live then:


All races currently under testing along with possibly a few more.
Psychostats ranking based of xp or possibly a combination of xp and levels.

Will allow you to track how your xp has changed over time just like how skill is done now. You can also see what powers and abilities you and others are getting kills with along with all the normal functions of psychostats.


Everyone starts back at 0
Level database stored locally or remotely

Or we can wait until all the races are done and hope we can get the levels back. Note that I say hope b/c while I do have the programs that restore the levels there is no way to know if it really works until we actually use it. Now while I said that it would only add a week you got to consider that it is also the holidays during that time. Realistically it will not be until after new years. The only reason we got all this done so fast was some guy converted like 5 races and the effects over and publicly released them. As a result I was able to quickly go and reprogram the parts that were not the same to they way it was before.

Here is what would need to be done:


Program all the unfinished races abilities

Should not take too long as I should be able to copy N paste


Configure all skill settings to be the same as before (for balancing)

This can be done in about a day


Program all the effects

This is the problem, I do not know how to program the effects and so I do not know how long it will take to do
Also I do not remember what the old effects looked like so I half to read all the old programs and figure it out
This alone could take 1-2 days per race so about half a month if that is all I do every day...




Here is what we get if we wait


All races from before exactly the way they were before at launch
All your XP and levels back (hopefully)
Launch sometime next year
Internal stats logging

remote database




So I think the choice really comes down to if you want to be able to play over the Christmas holiday or not.

[maynard]

meh, I say just launch it then. if there's no guarantee we can restore the lvls and we gotta wait that much longer there's no point. lets just get the server back up and running.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

wait, by "after next weekend" o you mean, the weekend of the 4th, or the weekend of the 11th?

[ZERO]

The 11th as I still need time next week to finish final phase testing. I should have all the current races getting there settings fully converted over the next few days. Expect updates on Saturday for a new beta version followed by a bunch of small updates to each race to adjust their settings.

All development and programing work will now focus only on what is done right now and preparing it for release status. This will also include all needed additional server plugins and configuration settings.

[ZERO]

I got all the base races set to their release settings for now. Unfortunately I am hitting delays as my registry is corrupted and I can not reformat until I go back to ATL. Basically what this means is that the computer will crash randomly when moving any file, this dramatically shows down work speed.

[szakalt]

Is it possible to import to hl2ep2 particles to the mod. To make the effects better. EP2 has some really cool effect and Ive seen HL2 portal effect on the Styder Hyru's ultimate. That is just an idea for the later part of the development. :icon_mrgreen:

Actually yes, all effects that are on the OB engine should be possible now. However, I do need to know what the commands are and how to use them in order for us to see it in game.

If anyone posts up links or code to some cool effects they want to see it would be easier for me to program it in then.

[ZERO]

Ranking question:

I need to know before we go live what sort of ranking system you want to be the default for psychostats. I can make it so that players are ranked by XP so that skill=XP. I could make it so that ranking is based off of levels only where skill=level. I could make it so that rank is based off a combination of the two where skill=XP(XP_Multiplier)+levels(LEVEL_Multiplier)

So what sort of system would you all want?

Personally I think XP based would be best because it allows for the best indication of how well a player is doing over any time span. If you look at the pub and zm stats for your profile you can see that there is a lot of info about how your skill and in the case of wcs possibly xp has changed over time. You can see your skill change map by map along with your kills and deaths. You can even see your skill(XP) graphically over recent weeks. Other useful stats could also be created like xp per min or per kill ect.

[maynard]

xp:wtg:

[acolyte_to_jippity]

think of it like this:

xp will be a linear scale, while level will be more like a power scale. in that i mean that if we base it off levels, it will become progressively harder to go up in ranking as you rise, where as with xp it's far easier. since all races gain xp at same rate (vaga, flame pred, rapscallion and succubus hunter excluded) then people will expect to get an immediate return for each xp point they gain. based off of levels though, it will take more and more effort as you climb higher, because you must gain more and more levels.

personally, i'd say xp is the way to go, since adding new races (and thus easy, quick levels) won't fuck up everyone's stats.

[BladeTwinSwords]

I vote xp as well. I have always preferred linear to quadratic.

Do not forget though that there will be that one camper race that literally earns xp based off time. However it will be balanced to get the amount your would obtain normally over that same period in game play. I just wanted to point out that in advanced b/c I am totally still planning on making that race when I am doing getting all the old ones on.

Also I hope to get some more updates over the next few days, I really want to go into final testing this weekend. Next week I finish school and then I will be back in GA, reformatting my computer and pumping out updates!

[maynard]

soooo how does this camper race complete an objective? or contribute 2 it's team in anyway? like does it literally just hide/camp all the time?

or is the raace more complex then that?

It will literally camp, it will not benefit the team in any way I can think of just like a real camper. It will not be possible to make kills using this race. It will be totally useless other than for camping. Now I may give it some sort of other abilities that help out team members near by but so far it does not help the team in any way. This race would be limited to 1 per team. Logically there will be a lot of testing when this race comes out before it is added to the main server to ensure balancing.

if it doesn't help the team in any way and can't do anything other then camp why make it? it seems like a waste of a race if it does nothing other then just camp. would be boring 2 play also.

you should make the scorpion race like we were talking about, would be a hell of a lot better. sounds like all camper race would do is take up a server slot and force people 2 go hunt down a camper every round someone is on it, which would also constantly stretch the rounds out making them far longer then they need 2 be.

at the very least do what aco said, have it give some kind of bonus 2 it's team if it's in range of them or something so there's a point in playing it.

Please test shadow hunter healing wave to confirm it works and that there are no glitches. I have reprogrammed it so that I will be able to control how often it activates on a player by player basis.

Yes it is an ingenious programing strategy called kill the method before creating it. This should stop it from ever having more than one loop per client. However I can not test if it actually works or if it is stable and or has no glitches. I played it myself and did not get any crashes so at least that is hopefully ruled out...

Mage and shadow hunter are now done. There settings are final now!

Also I got wards to slow people down! In addition the slow ability is a bit different than before. You will be slowed 50% when in the ward and will go back to full speed when you leave. Wards will always deal 20DPS however the damage will be sent 10 times per second at 2hp per send for the total of 20DPS. I have also made it so that you can level how long the ward lasts just like before!

I vote for the camping race, they can be killed by friendly fire, so you can nuke anyone who uses it :P But, yeah, I can see it needing balanced, so we don't get ragers going on it saying "but I'm doing what my race is SUPPOSED to do!"

blood or arch?

i can't think of anything that needed to be one w/ either, except archmage's weapon spawn percentage being fixed

[ZERO]

Well for every race even if the ranges are the same as before I am adjusting the settings for each level to be exactly the same. This is to ensure that they keep the same balances as before though the leveling process.

Warden and Crypt Lord are now in final release stage

I reprogrammed some of the Crypt Lord abilities so they would work exactly the same as before.

Spiked Carapace: Has been reconfigured so that you now get Armor on spawn instead of randomly when getting damage. It no longer has the ability to reduce damage you get. It now also sends damage to attacker by chance instead of always so that it works EXACTLY like it did before.

Locus: steals 25HP and 10-30 armor from one random enemy just like BEFORE. It no longer takes a percentage.

Please test to confirm I did not break these abilities with these changes. I added a lot of code and commented out entire sections to get it to work like before.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

can you make locusts target a ranom enemy each time? since before it would stick w/ same one til they die. i think it would fit the race better

[maynard]

since before it would stick w/ same one til they die.



not true, was random before.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

oh? i always remembere it randomly selecting one, sticking w/ it, and then moving on. most of the time the person woul ie fairly quickly.

[ZERO]

The stuff you use is more similar to this: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Special_effects

However using those requires an api that links to the raw engine so for me to be able to use everything I would need to talk directly to the engine: we are talking about literally hours of programing per line. Could literally take days to get working, however I already have run across some cool ideas that may be faster to implement.

More logically I have access to these prebuilt effects:

Succubus Hunter is now in final status but needs some testing on all of its abilities.

It has been virtually totally reprogrammed to work exactly like before. 3 levels per ability except for the ultimate that is 4 levels. Head hunter works exactly like before even granting xp just for damage(if activated)! Cap on heads removed and changed to 25 so that the max health you can spawn with is 100 extra if you have 25 heads. Totem Incantation now works exactly like it always did! Assault Tackle reprogrammed to hopefully make it work exactly like before, code referenced directly from bunny hopping plugins! Cooldown on Assault Tackle removed, yes there was a 3sec cool down and that is why you could not keep hopping! Daemonic Transformation totally reprogrammed to work like before! Replaced crappy coding and method usage to properly handle ending the transformation. Transformation lasts all round, cool down set to 5 like always. The cost of heads is now exactly the same as before.

So that took about 3-4 hours but hopefully there are not any glitches...

[ZERO]

Well there were a lot of glitches but they seem to be fixed now, I did not get to test the ultimate though..

[maynard]

I did not get to test the ultimate though..

ill do that today for ya. 2 drunk right now and no 1's on.

I actually did test it after that post but could not see if the invisibility worked.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

so, with sucubus, o you need to kill w/ a headshot to get a skull, or will a regular heashot (not kill) give one? i on't know why you needed to change it from how it used to be

[ZERO]

If you see I edited that part out b/c I did not actually do that. I can if I want though.

Archmage is on release status with some slight changes:
The weapon odds now work more similar to before. In that you will first get only a degal and then at higher levels get the m4. However unlike the old version that only gives the degal and later on the m4 it gives both at higher levels. The odds have been reprogrammed so that at higher levels if you will always get a degal if you get a m4.

[ZERO]

Genocide and Flame Predator are in final release status.

Genocide had some slight changes to make it work exactly like it did before. Also the invisibility ability was removed.

Remember to use resetskills on the updated races to avoid problems.

[ZERO]

ALL RACES NOW IN FINAL STATUS

Please see: http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/showthread.php?p=80963#post80963

Anything in yellow needs to be confirmed working before release. With this all that is left is developing the stats tracking plugin and configuring general server settings. I will be able to work on it a bit next week but with finals most work will come next weekend. As stated before we WILL RELEASE BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

We are now in the FINAL DEVELOPMENT STAGE.

i you ever figure out how to efine the xp for next level as a function base on current level an 2 cvars?

i think it use to be xp_needed = (current_level)*(100) + (100), other than level 1, which was aware by any xp at all.

[ZERO]

Actually the old system was simply level*100.

Currently it only lets me go up to 1700 as a requirement as it only supports 16 levels. After that every level requires 1700. I have put in a request to have this changed asap. If it is not supported in a week I may need to figure another solution like perhaps automatically reducing the xp you gain by X% per level after level 16 to compensate. In addation I may attempt to reprogram the actual core to just add support for a larger level definition.

[ZERO]

Beta stats test success:
http://www.ibisgaming.com/wcs_stats/ (http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/../wcs_stats/)

I got it so that it will rank according to XP. Right now it is for test only so the only people that have xp as far as it knows are people that got it after I created the xp log mod. You can confirm that it works correctly be seeing that the bonus points = your skill.

We also can use another web based stats system in addition to this one if you all want an example is here:
http://war3source.com/war3stats/

Note that using the example one requires us to save the xp remotely on the web server. This also means that if the web server goes offline then there is a chance xp will not be recorded.

Note that the only thing the other stats does differently is it is able to state your current max level and what race you used last. These may or may not be things anyone cares about. The rest of the info such as the race tables just list all the available races and will be listed in the forums anyways.

Ownes says it will take a lot of time to change it so that people can easily adjust the values for what xp is for a given level. So for now I have reprogrammed the core plugins to allow for us to support races up to level 100 with the xp requirement increasing 100 per level just like before. This will ensure that your race will level exactly the same as it did before.

Because this value is a hard coded change it requires me to recompile the mod any time there is an update. So expect updates to new releases to be delayed as a result of this. The test server that will be created when this goes live will not have these changes in order to ensure that any glitches we run into in the future can be ruled out.

With this change the WCS mod is in COMPLETED STATUS. I need you all to check and see again that everything works correctly and that I did not break the leveling by making this change. So gain some xp and level up your races to confirm everything works. The only work needing to be done now is to configure and set all secondary mods. I plan to launch the server BEFORE I go back home to GA. This will however, PREVENT me from being able to make any quick fixes after launch.

[ZERO]

As you can see the forum here is being redesigned in preparation for the server launch in the coming days. This thread will remain in this section until the server goes live and will be used as before to continue to the the main source of information about the current server status and what needs testing.

Note that for now it is planned that you will need to select your race every map load. This is currently the way that the plugin must work to prevent people from being able to bypass race restrictions in the future. I have already theorized a way to automate it and still prevent the bypass and have submitted the idea to the war3 developers. If they update the mod to include my suggestion we will be able to have races auto assign from that point on. If this never occurs I will do it myself after I convert all the races and then I will release the code so that it can be used in the actual releases of war3. (Otherwise it would not be worth it b/c I am not going to run a totally modified version)

[maynard]

so what happens if you forgot and didn't select a race, would it auto default you 1, or would that xp earned just go into a void?

[ZERO]

Are you asking how it works right now? I do not think you get anything if you do not select a race.

Actually it will have a limited live release for at least 24 hours where it will be open to the public under BETA. This is because I also need to see that when mani is turned on it does not break anything. Then after this open test the server will go offline as the stats are cleared out and reset and then the server will launch.

as you may know mr WCS GUY
wcs dosnt have a psycho stats page there for enabling me to do ANY sort of research period.

but to attempt to make you look better on a thread that you should be staying realvent to ill say, when admin is finnaly renewed on WCS server and there is a hacker who joins it is a hell of alot harder to distinguish it then other servers do to other players abilities and "shopmenu" items.

With that said, Zero and maynard (the WSC GOD) is there any way to control potential hackers and if not what exactly should one look for in the WCS sever.

it's called knowing what you're looking for. I find it disturbing you're already playing the "he's a hacker" card and the damn server isn't even up. not 2 mention it's against someone whose been around on and off for like a year + (well.. sorta he goes AFK a lot)

if you don't know if someone is hacking, then ask a more expierenced WCS admin for there opinion.

it's called knowing what you're looking for. I find it disturbing you're already playing the "he's a hacker" card and the damn server isn't even up. not 2 mention it's against someone whose been around on and off for like a year + (well.. sorta he goes AFK a lot)

if you don't know if someone is hacking, then ask a more expierenced WCS admin for there opinion.

your disrespect in the forums and server's is not appreciative.

back to what is relevant... Zero what are the plans now that all the classes are complete, what are the next classes we will get to be testing?

[maynard]

the only abuse thread against me ever was by acer(which wasn't even legit), how many you got?.. lol... get over yourself and learn how 2 do your duties as an admin properly. if you don't know what a hacker looks like on WCS, then quit trying 2 ban them, getting really tired of you trying 2 ban the server regulars.


what are the next classes we will get to be testing?

races are being done in order by there required lvl 2 play

have you not realized that i have no interest in continuing any further conversation with you?
admin abuse threads are relevant? is this the way you make your self feel more "above" me?
then to continue by insulting me?

again stop attempting to insult me i want nothing to do with it.


please back to the topic at hand.

[maynard]

I found the problem in my welcome addon I just needed to wait a second before I run the commands so there was time for the data to be put into memory. If you connect now and are <level 20 you should see the welcome menu/txt after 30 seconds. If your above that level you should see nothing.

[maynard]

nice, that will prevent a lot of questions being asked once the server comes out and new ppl start showing up again.

The final test server is now up on port 27016.

Release version will now be branched for the live server. Open public testing with mani enabled will begin soon. Remember that this is still part of the test and the stats WILL BE RESET when we go LIVE.

I am now synchronizing the remote copy with my local versions this will take a few hours.

[maynard]

when we go live it's a clean slate, every 1 is lvl 0.

Got half way though the transfer and crashed. As you all recall I need to reformat my computer to fix all of these problems I have been having. As a temp solution I have restarted the transfer in safe mode and that should fix everything for now.

lol, I lost 1500 lvls, so I can't really feel bad for ya. but yes, you can regain them =) cause the server goes live soon :icon_mrgreen:

[ZERO]

It could take days to sink the files b/c this computer is so unstable. I do have a rar of the current copy so I will just do everything remotely for now and just sink the data next week after I reformat.

Ok Public beta is now up this thread will continue to track issues and changes until release.

[=Aca[d]ieN=]

also fyi, Aca[d]ieN started playing on WCS a couple months after it opend and he has 1 of the best K/d ratio's on the server. do research before you cry hacks.

Thanks you maynard for the nice intro (; hehe
Actualy, i was playing on the server way before that. When it was still an RPG server for a while.. Was there when WCS first say the day on IBIS.
As for my long AFK, most of you already know that i am in the army, i just got posted to my new permanent unit and my boss i've been sending me on course all over the freaking country for the past 8month.. sigh ..
So anyway, you'll see more of me in the futur, i'll be 6month off for my paternity vacation, getting my first boy around the end of Feb. (:

Soo, ill see you guys around.

[Wolfenstinger]

ieN=;93766']Ohhh boy, the server ain't up yet, and some peoples just started calling me an hacker, why so much hate agaisnt me already? (:

*pat* don't worry, im not there to stop your killing spree. Or just be that completely annoying WCS whore that'll be on almost 12 hrs a day getting all the kills. :smirk:

So, outta curiousity, anyone wanna tell me how the vagabond teleing is? Or make a vid and ill love you long time? :S
