Server.War2.ru / Re: War2 RU Ladder......

« on: January 24, 2024, 11:15:32 AM »

myleague.com(aka IGL) > ru site
but the current playerbase sooooo small =[
ran the most sucessful one. already registarted again and setting up outta boredom waiting for ppl to log on to play the video game.
if someone goes inactive they lose rungs automatically. has tools to discover abusers. the information on league rules and ettiquite is customizable (at this point would allow any agreed on map/settings). can host tournaments (teams use to be a thing but i cannot figure that out(contacting support for more information regarding team ability for ladder/tourny(tho i think it had to be separate league vs solo league))

i have found a site that sells the myleague source for 30 bucks, someone could buy it and host it on the server.war2.ru server.
* the map pool for ladder ru in the ladder folder is tiny(can they be added to just by placing in that folder??)
but i just dont think the game is taken very seriously anymore with the prevalance and dominance of big games (tho why its locked to classic gow is mindboggeling)

oh and look at the thread, its fromm 4/5 years ago hehe

The entire top 5 of war2ru ladder his in ostage by a bunch of dodgers and abusers.

What about that?

@iL @Mistral

 Let's get a reset of the ladder? Lone isn't active and sounds like the players want to compete on it.
We should come up with some kind of system to reset it every 3 or 6 months I think.

Strategy & Replays / Re: Recording war2 live with hypercam 2 - newbie guide

« on: January 22, 2024, 06:03:42 PM »

file not found.
insight didnt seem to work unless the game needs to be already started too.
what are people using these days??

1. Download hypercam 2:
http://www.hyperionics.com/hc2/downloads.asp
install & start it

2. SCREEN AREA:
start X: 0
start Y: 0

width: 640
height: 480

Leave hypercam Window opened




3. Hotkeys
You can customize them, but you only need F2 to start/stop recording basically. F3 to pause.

4. Avi file
You can set FPS here, 30 is OK, less if your PC slow
Video Compressor: Auto Select is OK. Feel free to play with it if you're experienced/bored/worried about the AVI file size

5. Sound
You can record the sound and choose the source of it (stereo if you want game soundz, mic if talking)


Now the important stuff: start the hypercam 2. if you want to record w2, you have to WAIT FOR THE GAME TO START. as soon as its started (you see your peon and grass n shit), press F2 to start recording. If you start it before the game start, the screen will be black n messed up.

also rank 1 (which disables rank 1 LOL(and other top ranks) been AFK awhile

also if there is a definitive RU ladder thread why isnt it stickied?
the how to play is burried at the bottom of the page, and to me is vague on how to get games to count.
also i enjoy (sarcasm) how when a tournament has passed it is not removed from mention ie when you log in
among other things.

« on: January 22, 2024, 01:07:30 PM »

yeh, i know i mentioned that. oh TE that was it, the 'other folder' looked in all but that one didnt even notice it
besides why not a rebrand/slight update of TE to RU?  FOR THE NOOBS AND BIG GAMES!!!11 atleast heheh.
but from staying 8 lately i would build hall up high to negate the delay, but the double whammy of needing to chop 2 chops to even have decent gold flow felt like that needed addressed. this quest began before i originally departed a decade ago (due to ingame mouse being unplayable) i will continue to fight the good fight!

the ru ladder is a mess, rank 1 (and others near the top) afk 4 or 5 months. details of ladder at the bottom of the page (shit to read anything i have to highlight coz it hard to read) and not clear how to get games to count.
shit ill fuck around and admin IGL solo/team league again (why not pleanty of idle time waiting for users/games =[
i still argue i had the most succesful IGL league that i admined in the early RU days.

if i could program id fix the combat edition to ''just work'' for the lazy/unknowledgeable people who ive gotten to come to the server just to see them say 'not bothing figure this out' and bounce. also add to the game new music/unit speach. converted a bit of war2 human/orc theme orcastal/misc style. midi is cool but lets buff the music!  i actually found my buddys 30 year old custom unit speech he made. those make for good luls. freshen up the audatory expeience.

reallly its just a shame that the community was unprepared/did not try to capatilze on recent coverage by tasteless and grubby etc..
but like i said. ppl today are unacustom/unwilling to spending a lil time to make a game install work as intended. the genral idea is ''click install shit should work''

tried to get a young teen to explain why they are playing war2 with all the other options out there to get an idea of the draw of the game after 30 years to kids. didnt get an asnwer eheh. im still gonna try to get an answer on that one.

also gonna keep posting to the war2 videos/streams i see about this place being a thing.
still occasionally prodding the sewer mermaid to come check out war2 =]

anways this is one way to kill time hoping ppl log on and still getting that nostalgic hit.

i even poted in the devleopment section like, whats up with the state of the game, whats going on, anyone in charge here?! is there no plan??
silence. heartbreaking....
atleast there is a few guys left who can help with issues.
btw thx for what you do =]

this thing was already existed very long long ago
and it is called GOW TE version
it is even installed in war2 combat by default in maps/other folder
still no one plays anyways
everyone just fapping over gow classic for 25+ years straight and not even want to hear about some fixes especially for spot 8
spots 8 and 6 must always be a shit spot for losers if they decide to stay here and not run to s9 s5 anyways

Server.War2.ru / GOW RU.PUD

« on: January 22, 2024, 10:52:42 AM »

Garden of War RU.pud

Many moons ago our dear friend KHB created GOW fixed, where the required chop at 8 to create a close town hall was removed.
This was intended for tournament play (i do not remember nor can find the map) but it may have also had grass edit for better 6 gold flow?

So with what seems to be much more common these days with the big games (maybe even 1on1s coz fuck self nurf moving? hehe(and guys crying with me staying 8 haha)) here is big game Garden of War RU.pud

In the Past I have tossed out a reimagined gowBNE (what bne should have been(gow classic but ''balanced'')
I have called that version GOW CE (combat edition(mainly rearaging 6/8 so that it closely plays like 12/2(ie with 6/8 having similar choke openings and the lower path between bases closed off(but i have never been happy with the lower left tree design after removing the water and closing the path off it was basically a big ass fucking forest))))
With GOW CE.pud I have to restart due to somehow breaking the melee mode (it crashes on start)
That was somehow due to fucking with the AI, changing its stupid build placement to proper placement. Also I was  trying to do a paladin/range rework. The knight/pally was gonna be interesting hehe. But with the combat equation idk. Not to mention the changes never showed up in game.
Also i had 2 versions of gowCE, one original goldmine size, and one with buffed gold mine size. Like 30ks got 10 or 15k more. mid got about the same buff. and start locations i thhink i put to 75k. the mine buffs were for big games. wonder how that would play heheh.

Today my friends and enimies I present to you Garden of War RU.pud
A farless radical change compared to Garden of War CE.pud

Below is additional information on GOW RU!
First the Overall map followed by the locations of 8, 6 ,4, s12

Garden of War RU.pud

8 o'clock
Dirt change (atfirst it allowed to wall in 8s goldflow(cool but nah)) Tree edit for hall placement and goldflow (not all tree chops removed(i like a lil more chopped out persoanally))


6 o'clock
Just a lil grass for proper gold distance giving multi hall placement option.


4 o'clock
Added in 2 trees behind the mine


s12
Tree edit for proper gold distance

Mods & Development / Re: Handy PUD bitmap maker.

« on: January 22, 2024, 10:38:42 AM »

i want this utility but it keeps telling me some kinda network error =[
oh the later post with new verison worked, why not modify OP with new link/vers to help solve confusion. this is common not just this thead.

Looks like mostly my SS grabber is only being used to make pics of maps - not really in game SS, so this is probably much easier to use.

TuPaC asked for this so I just did a very quick and nasty hack of my pud editor project and made it a console app.

Just unzip then drop a .pud file onto pudpic.exe and it will make a .bmp file, without having to use war2 at all.

128x128 full map bitmaps are over 16MB so you will probably want to convert to png or jpg or whatever.

There's no error checking - if you give it a rubbish file it will just crash.


UPDATED 9/2018

Will now resize &/or save to jpeg format (see below).

is the laptop lowkey a rock
thats some enourmouse delay issues you discriobe =[
since its vs comp it cant be internet lag, sound like laptop lag

Hey. great to hear!

So I just played a custom gow ef map vs a computer and during the match I noticed either something is wrong with my client or one player mode has some bugs..?

Example: I selected my barracks and hit G but grunt wasn't building and then suddenly 5 seconds later it registered.
At one point I was building peons with 4 farm space and it was registering I didn't have enough food.
I was trying to patrol and nothing was registering.

Do I need to download a patch. or modify settings or is this just a solo play issue?

i have just returned from about a decade.
there is soooooo much 3on3 and 4on4 played compared to times past.
equal opportunity participation i guess.
the game has gotten several nice quality of life additions. unfortunaltly its still not just install and it just works. i had to manually add my desired resolution into a file. i had been trying to snag guys from streams of warcraft 2 on twich to come to RU. one group came played one game and said fuck it coz it didnt ''just work'' and didnt want to ''have to make it work''
plz bring some friends. playerbase needs buffed badly =]

still a low mid high skill base. lotsa chill fuck around w/e. and still a few who talk like its 20years ago =]

just get some hardware and come.
glhf

I am glad someone decided to promote war2, it's a fantastic game that just needs marketing. You are delivering quality entertainment, not sure if I'll even enjoy playing as much as watching but that depends on the availability of games including skill compatibility. I admit, I prefer watching top tier players play 1s or 2s, but if enough newer players join the community it will be enjoyable to have more recreational play as well. Keep up the good work!
