Server.War2.ru / some updates yesterday

« on: July 07, 2022, 07:16:42 AM »

1) game mode and ogre hidden on players if they default (make lobby more clean maybe)
they will be seen only if host changed someting
2) host can hide them on self too by pressing F6

3) iL updated status now show team number from lobby (so u can see with what teams game started)

4) more colors
press Alt then input onto numpad codes
for example alt+03 then text after it will be red
by default war2 had 03 red, 05 gray, 06 cursed black where all pixels is black (unreadable)
now we have combinations of some codes for more
alt+06 then alt+06 again make text ORC green

some other combinations:
03 06 default orc
05 06 default human
06 06 ORC green
013 06 Water (depends on tileset and in lobby those pixels is light orange)
03 03 06 Red player color
03 05 06 Blue player color
03 06 06 Green player color
03 013 06 violet player color
05 03 06 orange player color
05 05 06 black player color (better than just 06 cuz pixels not super black but... maybe can be ok on winter tileset)
05 06 06 white player color
05 013 06 yellow player color (but in lobby those pixels all super blue, in game its a little more yellow than default orc text)

« on: June 06, 2022, 12:56:55 PM »

new ogre mode on serv
when 2 (or more) players control 1 player (like ogre with 2 heads lel)
set teams to work, players of same team will be controlling 1

p.s. u prob can even try some cursed combinations like 1(7)v1, when 7 noobs control 1 player and play vs 1 pro LOL.
p.s.s. if u didnt know this thing was in Starcraft and was named Archon mode (or Team-Melee) from 1998. Now we have in w2 too.

Cartography & Custom Maps / Hero survival map

« on: September 02, 2021, 04:58:22 PM »

Hello all.
So this is new map called Hero survival.
This map was created using Triggers Editor: https://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,6242.msg95189.html
I add to attachments the last version of map itself and triggers from it.
Anyone can change anything to create new maps if you want.
To play this map host it on server from War2Mod channel in UMS mode.

This is defence survival type of map.
its still in develompent stage and needs many fixes and balance but main mechanicks all should work ok.

1) This map have 3 difficulties which u can choose at start - its determines how many enemies will spawn (1 line spawn, 2 or 3).
2) You can have only 1 unit (your Hero) but if you are Peasant then u can build towers.
3) all players start from building Peasant unit from TH and then you can evolve it into different units. Just go to the right side of map to a specific building. All evolutions cost some lumber.
4) players get 70 lumber after each wave of enemies.
5) players get gold for killing enemy units
6) you can spend gold for upgrades on the left side of map. Lumbermill = +1 damage to archers 10 gold. Orc smith = +1 armor to all 15 gold. Human smith = +1 damage to all other units (including towers) 15 gold.
7) After wave 5 secret area with resources opens on right mid side of map.
8 ) You regen HP and MP near runestones.
9) Players regen Oil - max is 100. Oil needed for special abilities - grunt and ogre from barack.
10) You can build Grunt and Ogre from orcs barracks - they WILL DISSAPPEAR and then your Hero will use special ability or get buff.
11) Grunt = hero will get buffs, all heroes get different sets of buffs.
12) Ogre = Hero using ultra ability. Peon - AOE repair all allied buldings on 100 HP within 10 squares. Paladin and Tyralyon - AOE heal all alied units around. All other Heroes - AOE damage enemy units (some heroes with certain effects, some have more range) (this thing can pierce even through unholy armor).
13) Protect Portal.
14) If u get to final evolution and not know what to do with lumber - keep it for respawn if you suddenly die. Because if you die - you start from peasant again.

15) new versions coming soon... (probably with new bugs...)
16) and bugs will be fixed later...

Server.War2.ru / Auto obs + Auto teams {BETA test}

« on: July 28, 2021, 02:46:42 PM »

Added Auto obs and teams feature to server.
Still in BETA test so will be many bugs - use with caution. IF you found a bug - please write. We need to fix all bugs.

How to use this:
1) its working ONLY in LOBBY.
2) its working ONLY for HOST.

host need to write
-team player_nickname team_id
where team_id can be from 0 to 9 or obs
0 is default (nothing changes)
1-8 will auto ally+viz other players of same team on game start
9 or OBS will become observer. They are spawned without any units and get auto viz from all players.

host additionally can write commands:
-check
-teams
to check mod version and teams of players

if you want you can write command like
-team slot_id team_id
where slot_id is player slot in lobby (its considered from PUD map colors)

P.S. examples of commands:
-team mistral OBS
-team MisTRal 1
-team 2 1
-team Droid 2
-team Droid obs
