Server.War2.ru / Re: Why doesn't everyone move to GOG?

In addition:
1. - strange connection issues with no REAL issues at all
2. - more susceptible to hacking
3. - starting with random empty channel, so no normal chat possible until you find where all others is ... this is a problem, because of:
4. - no comfy chat commands like /con, /games, etc...
5. ...

Sure "doesn't matter", LOL.
GL then, try gog, then return.

Hostile buildings is far better than allied until the ability to choose is implemented. 

No, it is not. You still can manually attack neutrals, but can't do NOT attack enemies.

BTW neutral is much closer to original gameplay "watcher's last farm".

So is better for watchers not go /obs too early, and that's why self-proclaimed obs is bad also.

Available was very wrong.

No, I was not mistaken, may be incorrectly formulated, sorry for my bad English then. I will try to describe it here futher.

wanted to build towers so I started building one that I had space for thinking it would destroy the buildings but it didn't.

omg...
At first in ORIGINAL gameplay you need to turn ON ally on watcher and OFF if you need the units behavior like you written.
so, then it

Seems like the original gameplay has been altered and not to the better

is nonsense.


"Hostile buildings" is not a solution,
On the contrary, it is creating a more serious problem:

Imagine that you play NWTR 2 vs 2,
you were killed
you going /obs...
But your buildings stay as "enemy" and continue to distract the enemy catapults, that clearly helps your ally win... BG.


The player should have the ability to set or remove alliances for "killed /obs", but Edo is too lazy for now to fix it. Waiting... lol.

What advantage

Where can i see you playing war2 multiplayer?

to get minimap quicker

If there are no limit, minimap may be useless for small maps that completely fit in 'wargus mode'.


Anyway need three types of game, related to visible area:

1. Classic - restricted to 196 squares (14x14).

2. Modern - upper limit ~384 squares. Keep sense as cybersport, damnit.
 ...24x16 for 16x9 (currently known as 960x544)
 ...19x19 for 5x4,
 ...19x18 for 4x3,
 ...21x18, etc

3. Freescale - no any limits. Mostly for wargus newbies, single player, or watchers (before game start).

date for launching new warcombat version

IDK, but looks first of all, we need to do something with false positives, most likely that the next version appears after that.

today is possible to play with ANY warcombat version

If you asking...

A. about "widescreen" feature only:

Tested with GOG.com version and War2Combat

B. about all new features as a whole:
Anyone can play with any Warcraft II BNE version, including Combats, but with some clarifications.

There are two main updated version of original exe:
2.0.2.0
 - compatible with all new features
/most war2combats with default exe options
/classic cd installation patched to 2.0.2.0

2.0.2.1
- incompatible with most new features and got msg in lobby kinda 'unsafe'
/gog
/war2combat with install option 2.0.2.1 for gog compatility
/classic cd installation patched to 2.0.2.1

Is there any contradictions here?

most active players are not reading forum

Make a vote

...Where is the sense to start verbal battle?

I personally do not like it, but I treat it neutrally, because it is made by a separate mode: No one forces you to play this mode.

my requests are critical to game play

Yes.

can the neutral player be an enemy instead of ally?

No.
Your buildings will continue to distract the enemy and help the ally this way.
(yes other situations are possible, but not very often / not so critical)

P.S.:
In any case "self-proclaimed obs" w/o confirmation of at least one enemy(or host) - is a raw solution.
P.P.S:
BTW host still needs some more rights in his game.

Relax guys.

Mistral is working on solving this issue so that everyone is happy and no abuse at all.
But he is too lazy to do it right way, so just wait a little.

Just to explain

He wrote that I told him to do how it look now (which is not true)
In general, next time when you see the "lesnik said/told me", you should not blindly trust it, better to ask directly from lesnik
