that is cool, i suppose the balance changes wouldn't be too hard to implement, i never even noticed they were in the game.
I think you'd have to default the settings in the game to get people to use them, which is why im just hoping blizzard gives us multiplayer features so we can all play the game in one place. although it'd be a shame to leave all the hard work people have put into modding this game over the last many years
well everything about remastered is better outside of the multiplayer features, so basically everything. graphics, balance changes
im hoping blizzard has eventual plans to add some multiplayer features to the remastered version of the game
otherwise i wonder how hard it'd be to rebuild this version with the changes?
Hello everybody!
I have discovered sources of war2mod in mistral's repository here: https://github.com/Mistral-war2ru/War2Mod-Server and found that some functions I can try to change to work faster (all functions doing auras just iterating all units. Instead we can store for each cell which unit is in it and instead iterating all units just check nearby cells. So if auras have range 5 we can check only 11 * 11 = 121 cells, that will work faster if we have at least 122 units. And the same we could do with autoheal)
(It's all started when I making some map with triggers found that it was too laggy and unplayable when there are many units with auras so I wanted to know why, and when I saw the code as competive programmer it blows me up)
Also I am thinking on doing some AI improvments.
So this is my question, how can I join the server with my custom build of war2mod (I understand that I will drop in all games this way) or any other way I can play games and check it working? And if it will work faster to change the original version?
hey knitter nice to see you, yes it's me!
so here's the thing and why i'm wondering about this tournament. It's coming up this saturday, I've got a youtube channel about warcraft 2 and I want to promote the tournament
If I make a video, post it on all of the blizzard subreddits and get let's say 20k people to see the headline, let's say a few hundred of those people actually take the time to watch the video,
and then I say "hey guys, there's a free tournament this saturday where 9 grizzled veterans are going to beat the shit out of everyone on the same map and resourcecs they've been playing for the last 30 years, why not join?"
vs "hey guys, download this free game for a good chance of winning 50 bucks randomly just for signing up and having a good time on all of these cool maps and resources where you might have a fighting chance"
why not limit the random prizes to the amount of participants. So let's say you guys are expecting like what, 30~ people to join? Let's say we manage to market the tournament to people outside of the community and pull in another 60 players so now we've got 90 players - how many random prizes? maybe we have 2 random prizes for the first 30 players, and one more random prize for each additional 10 participants?
Either way, if I knew that I could make a video simply saying "sign up to win a piece of the $1000 prize pool with random participation rewards of $50 I can work with that. I'll promote it either way but if we want to bring new players into the game we need to market it to them, the guys already playing dont need marketing.
thanks
maps im thinking fierce ocean combat, nowhere to run or hide, no way out of this maze, one way in,
probably start with single elimination on one way in
and what i mean is when you download and install the game, windows says this program could be dangerous
I'm in support, but I've noticed that most players are strongly attached to keeping things the same. A lot of it seems to come down to ego. They resist change and justify problems in the game as skill-related instead. I think it's more about not wanting to adapt.
