There was a very esoteric bug in the game's code that took a bit of examination to find. The important thing is: it's fixed now.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6091768231029611218-405220405483857677?l=battlement-game.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dathgalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18224769027219969092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091768231029611218.post-39355450701325587602010-03-18T11:04:00.000-07:002010-03-18T11:29:43.469-07:00After hearing a few complaints about how difficult it is for some people to understand what they see when the camera and objects move instantly from square to square, I finally took the time to make the graphics move smoothly from one place to another. There are still a few silly glitches, but they don't look too bad. I'll fix them after I receive enough feedback about the new graphics system.<div><br /></div><div>Other changes:</div><div><ul><li>The halberdier can no longer attack through walls.</li><li>The pre-game timer is now 30 seconds for a 1v1 game.</li><li>The pikeman now has 6 energy (down from 7).</li><li>The archer now has 5 vision (down from 6).</li><li>The footstep sound effects now load properly.</li></ul></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6091768231029611218-3935545070132558760?l=battlement-game.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dathgalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18224769027219969092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091768231029611218.post-15156170685001535452010-03-10T10:10:00.000-08:002010-03-10T10:25:34.323-08:00<div>The following changes were made in this version:</div><div><ul><li>Several features rendered unusable by the previous version are now functional again.</li><li>The archer now has 7 energy (down from 8) and spends 2 energy to shoot (down from 3). The 3 energy to shoot did get rid of the automatic bow, but it made it too difficult for the archer to recover from exhaustion.</li><li>Server-side performance is improved, so there will be less input delay (all else being equal, of course).</li><li>The mage is now called the "red mage".

The most important change I made was to completely rework the networking code to make better use of the packets it sends. It's also much more stable. It's now much more unlikely that a network connection will be left in an inconsistent state. I'm hoping this will about cut the lag in half.<div><br /></div><div>Other changes:</div><div><ul><li>Archer spends 3 energy to shoot, up from 2. The fully automatic bow was amusing, but I think this will be more fun.</li><li>I rewrote the manual to make it more concise and friendlier to new players.</li></ul><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6091768231029611218-8405967266220939011?l=battlement-game.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dathgalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18224769027219969092noreply@blogger.com0
