Hello all!

I believe I managed to fix one more problem!
the colors inside the battle.net menu. Which are important mainly for hosting easier games :-)

We need the following stuff:
This ddraw.dll is able to fix the Battle.net menus correctly on Windows.
http://www.bitpatch.com/downloads/war2_ddraw_test4.zip
And here is the source code: https://github.com/aqrit/war2_ddraw/

I think that also iL had mentioned it. But the trick to make it work was there:
https://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/config-wine-main

You need to overidde the dll the procedure is described on the above guide.
I will make an upgraded post of the total guide one of these days!

Cheers

ps: I will also try this: http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc-ddraw/

4. Where is igognito from?


I'm Greek! But for now I live in Portugal. I often play from different PCs/locations. I have noticed that when you do /finger for me you can see: GRC (Greece), USA, POR (Portugal).
It is possible that you might also have seen: BEL (Belgium), SWI (Switzerland) and others.
As I have played from several different airports in the world :-D.

From the other questions:

8. Is claw the best all around player on the server?


That we can easily find out!
We should start challenge him at: KOTH bo7
I will probably lose to him, but I'm game if he wants :-D

9. Can anyone beat Viruz in a bo7 standard cheas match? Can anyone in the world beat viruz in a bo7 old ef gow and chess game?


Again there is only one way to find out!
I'm a decent chess player, but ridiculously rusty. Still I would be up in playing chess with him.

I would like to attend!
But I do not know if I will actually make it :-/
On the 1st normally we have a family meal which ends pretty late.

The ideal day would be the 2nd to be honest. That is always a slow lazy day at home :-D

« on: December 11, 2016, 02:28:51 PM »
Well we should create a page where active clans can register and make a small profile.
What do you think?
It could be very simple.

Cool a mod server!

One change I would like to see is a hit and run archer!

I would like that upgrading to Ranger or Berserker  to also improve the unit speed. (Not attack speed but movement speed)
This way you could hit and run away.
Ideal speed would be +1 from Knight/Ogre speed.

About the balance of the 2races. I always believed that just changing the Sight of the Paladin to greater by 1 from the death knight would balance the game!

Paladins are a great defense unit if you get to see that DKs coming.

I disagree though on having a different server. Why not use war2.ru and the clients just go to a different channel!
Also a version control would not allow 2 different clients to play among them.

Cheers

Mods & Development / Re: Warcraft 2 Ladder and Ironman Rating Ingame
« on: December 02, 2016, 08:54:19 AM »
The website remains as is...

The website is mainly for the Ladder but also reports the ELO!

The ELO is a computed score from the Ladder games. (Different metric completely)
The ELO eventually will be presented also inside the game.

You do not need to host a ladder game to have your ELO recomputed. The same hosting rules that apply for the website Ladder games apply for ELO games.

This way we get 2 different rankings! The Ladder and the ELO ranking.

Cheers

For those that follow this...

The current idea is to maintain the ladder as in: http://ladder.war2.ru/
The games that are considered for ladder are also used to calculate an ELO score which you can also see at the same page.

in the near future I plan to report that ELO in game.
So when you do /stats you will get the players ELO.

Also I think automatically you will see the ELO on top of your icon.

Furthermore, going to the ladder button will show you the ELO of all players.
Meanwhile, we are planning to disable the ladder hosting in game as it is confusing.

I do not know what the ironman games are. If someone is kind to explain me?

Cheers

Server.War2.ru / Re: How to kill 12/2 from 6 in a 1v1 on garden of war ef
« on: November 21, 2016, 07:32:08 PM »
The player's tier alters the K parameter for gaining ELO.

For that reason I have not yet presented it. The idea is that Master players will earn/lose at slower rate.
This is in general the rule for ELO.

When we start having representative elo scores we will set the tier levels!

Another solution would be to give a one time boost to some players. But I don't like that.
Anyhow, suggestions are welcome!

Mods & Development / Re: War2 over Linux
« on: November 18, 2016, 12:45:57 PM »
Hi all,

recently I had a new problem with war2 over linux!
After getting a few units everything was getting slow! It wasn't lag it was just sluggish!

I mentioned it to Disgruntled and he said that it is the graphics card and that I need to install the proprietary drivers of nvidia.

So I went to check and !!! guess what, I had the drivers installed.
I was out of ideas but I decided to check if it happens in single player too.
And the problem appeared there too.
After exiting war2 by accident I noticed that wine was giving me an error message about 32bit and opengl.

I go what???? I have opengl and the drivers work fine (or at least report it works fine)
Then I did what every computer scientist should do when he gets a problem that makes no sense! Reinstall :-D

So now that I shared my pain let me give you an explanation.

It appears that the NVIDIA drivers or opengl got an update! But the link among the two was not recompiled... As a result even if everything was reported fine the two where not working.
Solution: Deactivate driver->reboot->Reactivate driver->reboot

Also useful to know that war2 requires the propitiatory drivers to play smoothly.

To linux players:
Major tasks pending:
 (1) Getting a recording app to consistently work.
 (2) Getting the cpu 100% problem handled.
 (3) Create a war2 package for distribution?

does anyone ever done something similar with (3)?
It would be cool if users could go to the software center and get even just a link to en.linux.war2.ru with a nice step by step description of how to install war2!

That will certainly get us some people trying it out!

Cheers
