So, for 1vs1, is it supposed to have 2 starting positions or only one?
I started a 1vs1 yesterday, we started with 2 starting positions.
I just played 1v1 few minutes ago and we had only one starting positions. ( and that sucks, especially because we were playing nuke and I got my only slave entrance nuked..........)


Btw, would it be possible to code, that nuke can NOT be a slave entrance? Because it kind of make it very lucky... think to a 8 player games with nuke :S

What game number?

Game 12548417
Game 12548529

Both 1vs1, both start with only one position per player.

And 1vs1 the game is really unbalanced I think.
I dunno if it will improve a lot with 2 starting positions. But I think the pegasus with only 1 neutral are a problem here.
It allows you to be very fast on your opponent. And with equal dice on both side it means the 2nd will never be able to hold a bonus, while the 1st will have it almost all the game.

[nolefan5311]

There were a lot of rapid-fire changes to the code to try and identify the problem for larger games. I believe the issue is now sorted.

Game 12546113 was started really early this morning and we were both distributed 2 starting positions, so it appears the issue is corrected.

Edited to add that it appears both of those games started after the one I referenced. I don't understand what's going on, lol. I will get with koontz and nobodies to see what the problem is.

Nole can u clarify this?

When this prometeus thing is fixed(we just have seen an example where someone didnt hold prometheus and won a game by killing enemy), my currently game will be fixed too?or only when i start a new game?

Thanks

If the XML is updated mid-game, it will be active.

Just to let you know - 1 v 1 is still only giving 1 initally slave deployment to start.

Thanks. Will look into it.

I'm supposed to update the xml? If not, nolefan let me know when you're ready so i can send it. prometheus problem is a non problem, it won't happen again.
Use the file i posted, but double check it.
Please let me know what you will change exactly.

Thanks

The only change I would make is listed below:

Code: Select all

<positions max="1">
	<position>
		<territory>A1</territory>
		<territory>J16</territory>
	</position>
	<position>
		<territory>A16</territory>
		<territory>J1</territory>
	</position>
	<position>
		<territory>N1</territory>
		<territory>E16</territory>
	</position>
	<position>
		<territory>N16</territory>
		<territory>E1</territory>
	</position>
</positions>

And I would reinstitute the underlying neutrals for these positions.

[Gilligan]

conditional borders fixed, by your friendly neighborhood XML guru...

[koontz1973]

nole, do that but do not put in the neutrals.

Leave the max of 1 in though.

All neutrals again.

[Gilligan]

Whatever update happens can just be to the link I posted just two posts ago. It has removed the neutral start of E1, E16, J1, J16 and fixed the conditional borders. I did not touch anything except that, and got the file from CC's XML list.

[koontz1973]

Well, not sure what has happened with this map, but bugs have been cropping up all over the place. gilligan, you say your xml is correct? If so, nole can use that for the changes.

Can you give me a list of what bugs you speak of? I will double check it.

[koontz1973]

You got them all gilligan. Just looked.

I forgot to mention this before.

<positions max="1">
	<position>

		<territory>J16</territory>
	</position>

		<territory>A16</territory>
		<territory>J1</territory>
	</position>
	<position>
		<territory>N1</territory>
		<territory>E16</territory>
	</position>
	<position>
		<territory>N16</territory>
		<territory>E1</territory>
	</position>
</positions>

And I would reinstitute the underlying neutrals for these positions.

How is this going to work with 4+ players? It will give Player 1-Position 1, Player 2-Position 2, Player 3-Position 3, Player 4-Position 4, and then there are no positions left for players 5-8.

[koontz1973]

More than 4 players, positions are ignored. So in 5 players, these are ignored and as the slave entrances are not coded neutral, they are the only ones given out in a game.
So 1-4 players, 2 slave entrances each, 5+ players 1 each.

Right, right, good call. It's late here.

[koontz1973]

And it is bloody early here. Imagine my surprise when I log in this morning and I do not have isaiah waiting for me giving me the bad news.

I made problems occur. I used the ring of fire without Prometheus to destroy two. Unfortunately the third wasn't allowing and then the stuff was realized. We aren't sure what should happen.

I am seriously happy, too happy. Lots of people haven't noticed.

That's an old game, just waiting on admins to delete it.

I will post the corrected file here momentarily.
