When i type, real cursor hiding. As a result, it may looks cropped around the edges of the map, because fakecursor exist only on bitmap. Anyway, not a critical issue.

Ok I see what you mean. Yeah not losing any sleep over it.

"actually... you are wrong there" (c)Lambchops

Haha sorry mate, no copyright on an edited quote ;)

These 'tiles' behave absolutely different in game, so providing info about this on map is better.

Certian trees/rocks are not allowed to exist on their own, I assume because they don't fit with the game graphics. This is dependant on what is in the surrounding tiles.

A tree tile can not exist without another tree tile either above or below it. This rule holds regardless of whether the 2nd tile is a border tile or not.

You have demonstrated this in your chopping example which chops 2 solid tree tiles from a vertical column of 5, causing the entire column to be removed.

If you do the same thing to a horizontal row of trees you will only remove the 2 trees, but your color scheme marks these 2 situations identically.

  --  --

In the end it comes down to personal preference. I actually like the colors you have used for the light/dark grass, water and trees. They look nice. I think the rocks look messy and ugly as balls lol... but that's just me.

I think most people would prefer your color scheme, but do me a favor and try out some different rock colors. Maybe the dark mud needs to be slightly darker too.

General Discussion / Re: Was Visual Studio the program that made Windows?
« on: December 17, 2019, 04:08:11 AM »
The first version of Visual Studio was VS97. Windows 3 was around long before that. Even 95 was.

Its a snake eating its own tail.

MS are developing Windows with their tools and developing their tools using Windows.

Much of windows was developed in C++ but most of the important (core) parts were made with MASM.

"VisualStudio" is just a brand name. I would expect that the current team uses it. It's their thing after all....

Here is a better example:




Any of the 4 peons can chop the "tree" next to the hall. This is because there is 2 trees, not one.

Yes, they will ALWAYS double chop, but the rules of double chopping don't change, you can see them from just looking at the tree blocks.

    but it seems to work ok.

Yes, when user typing, the fakecursor will be cut on edges only, but this is already excellent compared to no map or no cursor at all :)


Cool :) Glad it helps. If you are using the updated LC.dll the map won't disappear so you won't see that.

    The original colors mark each tile by how it behaves in the game -> i.e. a rock border tile still behaves like rock and must be sapped to pass.

Just the opposite - rocks and woods marked two colors because:
1. for better recognition rock vs dirt (original blended a bit when dirt squares too thin)
2. thin rocks edge differs and better visible where is a chance to break through with one sap
3. same things about forest pieces where is a chance to use one peon.


No. I actually think you are wrong there. Gow players tend to think there is only 1 tree next to the hall spot at 11. Chop players know there are actually 2 but they will always double chop ;)

i.e.




This is how gow spot 11 is as far as the game plays.

There are no spots that are easier to sap because there are border tiles. A border tile with rock = a rock tile. They are just pictures. This is my exact point.

Mods & Development / Re: F2 COLOR ALLY plug in.
« on: December 16, 2019, 12:54:33 AM »
I think the return to start is the original game function of the F2 key.

On my system the call to GetAsyncKeyState() intercepts the F2 key before it gets to the game. If it is activating both the allied colors and the return to start then the only fix would be changing the allied colors to a different key.

You can change the activation key with a hex editor if you want.

If you edit allied_color.w2p you should find a 0x71 byte at offset 0x00000572

This is the virtual key code for the F2 key. You can replace this byte with a different code to change the key.

i.e. if you make that byte 0xC0 you will change it to the [`/~] tilde key (next to the [1] key).

when someone recording video or streaming with commentary, he can point at lobby minimap positions with that cosmetic stuff ;)


@iL @Available

Ok. Fair enough.

Have altered the lobby map plugin so it draws the cursor over itself. Bit of a kludgey fix TBH, but it seems to work ok.

SOURCE is updated.


    -------------------------


As for the updated appearance wher you have made the boundary tiles different shades...

I agree it looks more pleasing to the eye from an artistic standpoint. :newthumbsup:

I have found that the lobby map actually improves my gameplay a bit because I can strategize in the lobby while studying the map before the game starts. :thinking:

IMHO Having these different colors actually obscures things from a strategic point of view. The original colors mark each tile by how it behaves in the game -> i.e. a rock border tile still behaves like rock and must be sapped to pass.

For my own personal taste, the extra colors just add confusion.

However this is very much a matter of personal taste and I'm sure other people will prefer prettier looking pictures.

The tile colors can be edited in pudthumb.cpp (or just hexedited into the .w2p file if you want).

They are here:

Code: [Select]

// this just gives 3-letter names to some color values
// you can add more if you want

#define LTW 0xD4
#define DKW 0xD5
#define LTM 0xAA
#define DKM 0xA9
#define LTG 0x98
#define DKG 0x96
#define TRE 0x90
#define ROC 0x7D
#define OWL 0x7E
#define HWL 0x7F


DWORD tilecolors[] = { 0,
                       LTW,     //     <--- these are the sold tile colors
                       DKW,
                       LTM,
                       DKM,
                       LTG,
                       DKG,
                       TRE,
                       ROC,
                       OWL,
                       HWL,
                       OWL,
                       HWL,
                    // --- //
                       LTW,    //      <--- These are the border tile colors       
                       LTW,
                       LTM,
                       ROC,
                       LTM,
                       LTG,
                       TRE,
                       OWL,
                       HWL   };

Yeah the updated LC.dll hooks the screen display right at the end just before the new screen is updated, this is also after the cursor has been drawn, so the map is drawn over the cursor.

It is much more efficiant this way than how I originally did it when I was developing the framework.

The cursor not being visible over the map is only a cosmetic issue. Next time I am looking at it I might try hooking it just before the cursor is drawn to reverse this, but it isn't an urgent priority.

[HERE] is the updated version of LC.dll which I reccommend people use.


If anyone wants to play with it, the source for the lobby_map plugin is attached. I also removed a bit of unneeded code when I cleaned up the source, so there is a slightly smaller version of the plugin included in the zip.

Make sure your windows firewall rules are the same for the 4.5 exe as the 4.4 exe.

Rofl, "hater" speech, mate i had no problem with you until you started calling me dellam  multiple times for years and when confronted about it you ignored it, edited my posts into blah blah blah for no reason upon proving you wrong about something  simple like discussion on the runes spell, I didn't flame you in it or anything, you legit had a problem with me for no reason then when i didn't even insult babyshark, just called her out on her nonsense, you got super creepy protective, got called out on it, then tried really hard to frame me for hacking and bragging about your shitty data, and then you got caught hacking not even a month later rofl. Then you made a thread about my family, and everyone called you out on it but yeah, im the creepy one rofl.

You are a creepy weirdo bro, you started logging peoples ips because babyshark friendzoned you hard and you wanted to try locate her address. you did something similar to tk not even a month ago by looking up his ip and posting shit a few miles away from his address rofl. So It's really obvious you're doing it to everyone on this game, and you're probably still looking at every house on google maps in Babysharks area to be like "this might be babysharks house!"

No wonder your wife left you you creepy fuck. she didn't wanna be around when you get busted for child porn in the next couple years.

And you're one to talk about concocting stories about other people, considering you made multiple threads about me and trying to frame me, then constantly changed the topic. My topics are consistent, you're a creepy fuck who cyberstalks people, uses a program to help cyberstalk people, cheats at video games.  And is terrible at said video game despite playing it for 20+ years. Anything else I talk about to you is something you yourself have concocted and im bringing it to you and you're avoiding. And you bring alot of random stuff up then avoid. 

Even when one of the head admins (blid, who you have no problem with, its not like tk said this to you) had to tell you dellam was doxed when you tried to frame me, and you were like "pics or it didnt happen" yeah bro, you want to know another persons real life information from someone who doesn't know him, you're a creepy fuck. It actually took a female admin saying to you "it actually happened" for you to go be like "oh ok" and retract a frame attempt, yet another strange coincidence eh? I got a strong feeling if iL, dugs, warbux, tora all told you the same thing you'd have "pics or never happened" them too. Like people are as creepy as you to want to keep that information saved.



Ok your insane imaginary garbage seems to have reached critical mass, so I'll briefly address it here then go back to ignoring you as per usual.



Your obcession with BabyShark is seriously creepy. The only reason I ever mentioned my (very unremarkable) sex life is because you started accusing me of whatever weird garbage goes on you own head just because she is a friend of mine.

Yes definite "friendzone" lol exactly you idiot. We are friends. I am well aware of her rl name and she's told me the location but I don't really remember the place name - other side of the world, who cares? I have remote accessed her computer at her request on a number of occasions to help her with stuff. I have seen pics and videos of her house / garden / pets etc. simply because we are friends and if you had any friends yourself you would know that that is perfectly normal to exchange such things. Over the years I have spent meny hours gaming, chatting and voice calling with her because I enjoy her company.

The fact that simply because she is female you can't imagine this possibly happening without some kind of sexual overtones is exactly why you are a total creeper.

From there your head somehow makes the jump to child pornography... which is a thought process that really should have you red-flagged as a risk to the community. Like seriously WTF?

No my wife did not leave me, I think you are referring to my ex-girlfriend who was 12 years younger than me and ran off with a guy who was four years younger than her. Tough shit, that stuff happens when you have a life, and congrats on stalking your way back however many years to find that.

I was accused of hacking by the game's most notorious hacker who actually proved he was hacking himself in the replay he posted. Yes I have been automatically logging IP addresses for years. I publicly announced that on this forum not long after I started doing it. One of the main reasons behind me developing that was because people would accuse me of being dellam simply because I was in Australia.

I made a thread pointing out that you used the aka "Della.AUS" and since you mentioned blid I'm sure you also remember that he agreed that this was your aka (we all know this was you duh). Eventually after hearing enough of the pathetic garbage you spew I had to agree that you are just too stupid to be the original Dellam, because my words actually mean something, and that name has been banned for so long that it's hard to really know anyway. Nobody tried to frame you - YOU DID THAT. YOU PRETENDED TO BE DELLAM. So don't complain when someone accuses you of it.

I couldn't be bothered looking up the post but I'm pretty sure I would have said "SS or it never happened" which is the usual line, no doubt with a wink or lol emoji after it. As usual you have extrapolated that into some crazy scenario that bears little resemblance to reality.

No matter how many times you spam your just plain stupid theories it wont make them true

You have real issues with women. Somehow as soon as there is anyone female involved in anything your pathetic little brain turns it into something creepy and sexual. I strongly suggest you leave your parents house and go out and meet some actual rl women. Who knows, one of them might even let you touch them. It could change you llife. In the meantime this is a gaming community, please stop projecting your creepy fantasies onto the female players.

.... and there's why. God what a complete tool. I am embarrassed to be associated with this community.


We're all embarrassed that blah blah blah I have nothing to say except posting lame hater speech because im an obcessesive compulsive shut in.


LOL here's the original version of my post. I amended it because I didn't wan't to be seen as encouraging you.



This story about me that you are concocting in your head gets a bit weirder every time you tell it. Seek help you creepy little man-child.
