Build 265 released!

one thing, when you change the chat back to the old one when you can't see the unit counter anymore. :/

nevermind if fixed itself xD

 

Chatbox position has ben changed, it's great thing.

//EDIT by Furai: Speak English.

 

I have a question:
Why banning people on servers ?
My friend play with me and suddenly he was banned and that in a couple servers.

 

I really don't like the chat on the top. Would it be possible to have an option to put it into the top or bottom ?

 

Is it that option read a MM post.
@MM say's
(if you want to change this open KAG/Base/Scripts/config.gm
global cc_valign = 2; - for the old bottom chat)

 

ok, thanks.

 

I'm not really sure what's going on, or if I'm just being an idiot, but my client doesn't update past build 263.
Tried re-installing, still build 263.

 

I like that you're trying to make chat less invasive, but here's my suggestion:

Why do we need to see the entire chat window every time we type one little thing? Typing is when you're most vulnerable, so it's imperative you can see all around you. I understand you need to be able to see the details sometimes and view the whole chat log but that is not something that is needed for every message. The button to pull open the whole chat window in front of your screen should be different than typing. Something like shift would open the chat to have a look, whereas enter just allows you to type with no change to the chatbox size.

 

In my opinion, this sort of thing belongs in an Options or Settings menu. Asking end-users to edit config files for basic settings is poor presentation.

 

Can't find global cc_valign in config.gm, not sure why it's changed it was easier to edit the parts in the older version.

EDIT: Blue's just said it's in autoconfig.gm? C'mon MM I'd like to be told the right thing first time <3

Edit II: Cannot play KAG with the chat up in the way of the units and changing the global cc_valign to 2 does NOT work, it will just revert back to 0 when the game is started up.

 

When i put back the chat, i don't see units ...

 

This is great, I feel like all my worries I had at 262's release are completely gone. Everything that I felt was wrong in the test build, and in 262's release, are completely gone and fixed in this one. Great job MM, you took a lot of criticism over the last few days, so it's time to give back a little graditude. Thanks. :)

EDIT:

I was in config.gm for me, and it worked. It's in the higher section of the .txt file.

Code:

// * //// * //// * //// * //// * //// * //// * //
// config variables
global module = `Game.dll`;
global configfile = `Scripts/config.gm`;
global guimainfile = `Scripts/gui.gm`;
// * //// * //// * //// * //// * //// * //// * //
// engine variables (will override autoconfig settings)
//game
global n_master_ip = `master.kag2d.com`;
global cc_valign = 2;
// * //// * //// * //// * //// * //// * //// * //
// run commands

If you still can't find it, it's probably not there, did you try redownloading?

Also, as stated in the code above, config.gm overrides autoconfig.gm, that answers your questions BlueLuigi. ;)

 

Really happy to see map collisions fixed.

I don't know if it's just me but since 262 I've been getting disconnected from every server I try and play on. Usually I get five or ten minutes before the d/c. A couple of servers where I have low ping won't let me join because of suspected speed hacks (I think it said) but then let me join again later.

I'm finding myself at least temporarily banned on a lot of servers.

 

I do want to express one little thing I still very much dislike, the 5% delay in charging.
It really forces me to use stabs most of the time, which is usually just about luck.
Without the 5% charge you could usually just in-time get that charge in his face, when you're in combat, (outnumbered or 1v1), but with this 5% delay thats just impossible, and it always comes down to a stabbing-fest, which you can't ever win when outnumbered, and even when it's 1v1, whoever wins is usually the lucky one, not the better one. I feel extremely nerfed. :<

 

It all feels much smoother, i like it a lot more. Knight combat feels...homogenized skill wise, like the way its set up seems like...its to easy? Maybe its just me and i',m not used to it. I just enjoyed feeling like it took skill to play a knight well...maybe its just getting used to it. But much better over all!

 

AFAIK, the only new thing for the knight is that the charges take 5% longer, which IMO made it easier for the lower skilled players, but much harder for the higher skilled players. So, bad knights are buffed, good knights are nerfed. Means everyone is at the same level and it's all about luck (read my post before yours how I came to this conclusion). /wrist. :(
