> you the spell is not added anymore to your spirit. Even if you cast with item, nothing happens
What do you mean by that? The spells are no longer working after a rematch?

> IMO, hotkeys sucks.
Totally agree but you know - there are around 20 spells...
I think it's possible to make something like QWERTY casting but it would require around 100 new spells. I'm going to have a lot of free time soon (2 months lol) so I'm gonna try to do it...

About the balancing I'll talk to Bloody since he's best at that part.

AddBot still has some bugs which I can't seem to understand why they happen (like AIs doing nothing other than just wandering around). For now it's best to start games with preset computers and using AI only at the start before the 30 seconds mark. :| These bugs seem to occur when adding bots after 30 seconds mark or after a rematch.

WTF. Terrain is from forest to some empty Dalaran place?
Gameplay still remains the same actually.

So, there is nothing that new about this. except terrain =/ and 2-times cast bug gone.

Well since blizzard butchured Jass this version works for all wc3 patches.

Also the terrain is meant to be empty, more place to manouver.


Yes, the game play is rather unchanged. You know, every map has life into it. I am sad to let this go, but it is time to make something better. And, it wouldn't have ended like this if Blizzard didn't fail. :) (Note: There is no place for hotkeys of spells. People with laptops don't have numpads and I don't want to be called a discriminator so... )

Since Bloody and I started working on something new, this project is going to be ended. Expect just a balanced next version with the bug fix - stable and pretty much finished.

Yeah, thanks for the kind words, Vylatin.

Tyrande, you must agree that mapping pays off, while... oh forget it, I am not the type of an ass...

Well, perhaps there will be some small updates in the future. At this point our effords are going into something different then Spirit Wars, but I am not the type of an ass that will forget his projects. As long as there is a suficient ammount of feedback/bugs/downloads I don't see why we shouldn't make small balancing and mode adding updates.

When I add abilities by triggers to a unit I often get spikes. Your item->ability system is very smooth in that way.

JASS? :eek:

You have to preload your abilities :)
Otherwise, the first time the ability comes into the game, you'll get a spike.

Yes, what Zack said..... also, everything is in Jass/vJass....

BlackRose, pretty much, yes, but this will get small updates too... you see the problem is that we have as much spells as we have hotkeys. I wanted to make it by another way, but with the limitations of Jass, it would r equire to have arround 100 if/then/else actions for each spell....

Not sure about doing -tm2 from the start, but if you do a regular match (default settings), then do rematch, and -tm2 the computers start wandering around. Also notice that the teams' damage is totalled on the first player in the group, but it still has a multiboard displaying everyone's name and 0 kills, 0 deaths, 0 damage.

Also atm blade toss is e and impale is t, why not switch them around o_O Actually has the letters in it :)

Edit: Played a 2nd rematch.. seems that buggers with the computer AI. It's FFA and they're still just wandering around back and forth :eek:

Yes, that's the bug that's going to be fixed next version. I already found how it happens (stated previous page):

AddBot still has some bugs which I can't seem to understand why they happen (like AIs doing nothing other than just wandering around). For now it's best to start games with preset computers and using AI only at the start before the 30 seconds mark. :| These bugs seem to occur when adding bots after 30 seconds mark or after a rematch.

> why not switch them around o_O
Dunno, it has been like that from the start... ^^

> Also notice that the teams' damage is totalled on the first player in the group
That shouldn't happen, when does it bug that way?

It was me and the rest computers, did a normal deathmatch, then changed to -tm2, and the damages started doing that (all of them had 0 except the first computer on their team, and same for my team, whereas I had all the damage)

Sorry didn't take SS, and CNR. However I did encounter a different one ;[ I bought the meteor spell thing, but it didn't add spell ( i have SS if you want).

Would appreciate that, yes, and some more info on when it happened.
I can't seem to reproduce the bug with the wrong damage displaying ... Any chance you could set the same scenario and see if it appears again?

okay there's the screen shot attached to post. I tried once to replicate the bug but the AI started wandering around so no damage was dealt on the rematch at all :[ I'll keep trying until I get a result one way or the other ^^

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
