Fair enough.

Oh, I bring saddening news.
The server splits persist and I only have a single more day until my unavailability. It seems the release will be delayed by at least 2 weeks.

Apocalypse now!

When does the server split happen anyway? never noticed before...

The split doesn't happen in Beta 1, but only in Beta 2 so far. It seems that Non-german wc3 versions are splitted from German versions. It happens in every game as long as there are different versions. During our tests the time where the split occurs shifted. It was at ~15:20 for a few games, then ~18:xx, the last few games it was at ~27:xx.
We've tried to locate the error by turning off groups of triggers or using the Beta 1 settings, but so far it was unsuccessful.

Its that damn warcraft 1.22 pach of theres..the've caused more ploblems then they solved.I mean I know DOTA has that rune bug and some say that in NotD AM there are more fatals now then before. +angry

Told u picolo, i knew that the 1.22 was a bad idea.. if some1 comes to ggc, ask picolo or me, for a game, with the 1.21 ofc , but he has the 1.22 and so do i.. but i have to resolve a few.. technical problems.

Another thing, s3rius, i think u should fix the AI of the "special forces" u should try asking illidan from the notd:am community, or the www.undeadassault.net , the umbrella characters have a good intelligence, they avoid frags +shock

I think the 1.22 wasn't that bad, it brought a lot of balance to 1 vs 1 games, and is it really the patch witch makes the troubles?

anyways, if the server split problem is solved, there is no need to talk about it.

I didn't really feel like reading through the whole topic about bugs and ideas for dotd 6.0 but i do know that the medic got the same hotkeys for everything basicly ... it's just [E] and [E] and [E] and so on... And then in his abilities there are two with the same hotkeys too it's [F] and [F] .... kinda bothers me because i use hotkeys a lot to make the game easier for me ^_^


Yeah i'm a lazy ass...

Yes I agree the hotkeys are something that should be fixed. I'd prefer to have em like ZXCV or QWER so they are near eachother instead of having like QPMZ (example)

Okey I found another texture for the sidewalk this time I think it will go well with the asfilt texture I sugested earlier.Only problem the filesize its a bit to big I would say,but here it is anywhay link

did you fix the evil splits? hotkeys are a good idea yes i use them too but not to any greater extent.

well i don't think he's here for now.. seems he's "afk" for 2 weeks...

wasn't serius on some kind of vacation?

Ehm.. dunno, but, how much time do we have to w8 for the next beta? +blank

At least when s3rius comes back.

There's some people who wanted to search for the cause of this split during my absence. With some luck they'll have figured out where the problem lies.
I am flying back on the 4th of August, by the way.

Ehmm i have a question , where do u guys play?

Northrend (europe)

Hmm.. some1 on US east? :/ there are a few ppl hosting there too, i played with them a few times, and we get till the 2 hell spawns, and they killed the medics.. what a shame.. k, i will try to get into europe then, i hope i can play a few games with u guys

I don't mean to come from the wrong direction, but I really liked dotd5. It seems to me like you were trying to copy swat. The first time I played this I still thought it was awesome but it reminded me too much of swat.

I will still be hosting it because its a great map. If you can't ever find a game on US east message me on Bonez.

Well indeed dotd 6 is a mixture between notd, the original dotd from un-aquarius and own ideas. Never played swat duno what it is like.

May i ask something again s3rius? when will u release the beta 2? =/

He will release it when he has found a cure for the evil server split.

I'm sorry it takes so long, but it's hard to find something that occurs randomly, has no apparent reason and behaves in a way I've never seen before.
In addition, I couldn't contacts my bunch of beta testers for the whole week.
