Build 939 - Partial unicode support, Water and Saw Tweaks + Many Fixes

This is mostly a fix build, but has a few nice additions too.

There has been partial unicode support added. We’re looking into the areas where support is not so good (anything that doesn’t get entered or shows up as ). Either way it wont mess up the console output any more, and you can now say the other team got rekd™.

Votekick now has a confirm dialogue to prevent a mis-click from making you boot someone you didn’t want to.

Saws teamkill again (no more seas of saws, thank god) but turn themselves off after they saw a teamie. This should help curb griefing and accidental loss of life and limb.

Lots of crashes have been fixed, obviously not all of them but a fair number of independent ones.

Buckets also no longer stun anything. Thank god for that. You may optionally thank me for that too ;^)

Kag is broken, on a servers where i get low ping 33-66 and with no lag showing in console, my framerate was around 10fps.

Other people noticed it too, knight combat is unplayable

 

Thanks, soulless DevBlogger!

e: [fixed] buzzing sounds on Mac/Linux
:^))))))

 

yea theres probobly some kind of netcode problem messing with the game. hopefully the devs find it ;3

 

YUUUSSSSS

 

lowest ping went from 30 to 110.

Knights are unplayable.

 

Really ? So, why you don't remove them ? Without the stun, that stuff is clearly useless.
Nobody cares about a poor wall that will be burned in a fire by useless archers.

It is exasperating to see a new saw system to replace the old one which was perfectly suitable. We already lose a lot of time with all these unhelpful menus and if more we should turn on and off each saw because some people are unable to see where they put their feet, it will take another century.

One build with a good logical sense would have been better than two.

 

Except now saws turn off after grinding a single team-mate and can be turned off manually. They still grind unlimited enemies, so for all intents and purposes they are the same as three builds ago, just less annoying.

 

archer logic by an archer. useless archers is just words that exist only to hide the truth

Also way to go devs. Removing bucket's stun was removing a feature which I've never used in the first place .

 

Water buckets put out fire. Fire burns down structures. Unless you want to buy a water bomb / arrow every time a building catches on fire then go right ahead and remove them.

 

Not to mention it was just as easy to stun yourself as it was to stun an enemy. :P

 

how is no one mentioning the lag plaguing kag

Also cata lag is back and worse than before

 

The new build is crashing A LOT for me on Mac. It never crashed before, and now it consistently crashes at least once a game.

UPDATE: Had about 10-12 crashes over a 2 hour time period. Multiple servers. Sometimes after playing a while, but often immediately on joining. Right now, the game is essentially broken on Mac.

 

Network code needs a lot of work, not that I'm criticizing, it simply must be horrendously difficult to work on.

 

Wish I could say I knew what caused it to crash. I've seen several crashes that happen as soon as I join a server. Some that happen after I've been on for 10-20 minutes. None of these happened before, so I feel like they logically have to have something to do with the newest build. If I'm able to capture debug logs, how should I send those in?

I've been playing for about an hour now and haven't had any crashes. The difference is that I started via Steam instead of standalone. Could be a coincidence, but I'm not sure.
