[Strategy / Risk] War of the Clans

[kakuzu]

Yeah , sound very good , but you can make them ?

 

[Argos]

I hope so. It will take alot of time yes, but i dont see a big problem.

 

[kakuzu]

Great , good luck !

 

[Argos]

Just great...our alpha version started to lag as hell after few seconds of testing. After several "leak" inspections from our amazing programmer Chaosy still no explanation of what is causing it. Seems like a lot of problems ahead

 

[kakuzu]

That is very bad

 

[Vinz]

It's not always about leaks. Memory overload, perhaps.

 

[Wa666r]

Argos, maybe you're asking too much for this old game engine to handle. :c

 

[Argos]

It's not always about leaks. Memory overload, perhaps.

Of course, we found only 1 leak so far and we're sure it's not causing that lag so it must be something different. What did you mean by "memory overload"? This map compared to big ones like Iceborn seems like nothing.

Also the interesting thing is that the map started to lag after we implemented those new hero abilities and systems. I don't think the terrain or destructibles are our problem.

 

[kakuzu]

Argos if you think you can , or if you think you cant , you are right

 

[Tal'Rarity]

Argos, maybe you're asking too much for this old game engine to handle. :c

You'd be amazed at what it can actually handle, though yes there is the limitations.

Need some help Argos?

Stuff that lags really badly is double-loops or more as well enumerating too many things... Like picking every unit too fast/often.

 

[Vinz]

And referencing stuff many times without storing them into variables.

 

[Argos]

There is no problem to share the map with you. I really want that lag fixed.

EDIT:

Alright, we found immense number of leaks in our ability systems. Chaosy is currently fixing all of them.

 

[Chaosy]

As far as I am aware all of the leaks has been fixed. The memory is no longer slowly increasing, I can confirm that.

However it's too early to celebrate, Argos did apparently experience the lag way more than I did before the leak fixes. So until he can confirm that the lag is gone too, it's kinda in the air for now. If not, I have to look elsewhere.

Argos had to go just as I sent him the map so we'll need to wait until he wakes up.

cheers.

edit: the leaks wasn't the issue. It was two triggers that was causing the lag. I still don't know why, because the triggers didn't contain leaks nor was it a fast loop. But solved, anyway.

 

[Argos]

After hard fought battle, we finaly managed to find and destroy the "Trigger of Doom". All lags and leaks were also cleaned. Planning to release ALPHA soon.

 

[Vinz]

Have you tried the /fps command and compared FPS?

 

[kakuzu]

Great news Argos !

 

[Argos]

Have you tried the /fps command and compared FPS?

Nope we didnt, but we found the issue so it's fixed.

 

[Wa666r]

Good Job guys! It was all a plan to keep you guys on your toes. (not really)

 

[Chaosy]

Come out Satan, I know you're in there.

 

[Argos]

Chaosy, we must find a way to kill that demon inside Wa666r's faul body.

 

[Vinz]

Good Job guys! It was all a plan to keep you guys on your toes. (not really)

Just curious, can I see the trigger you made?

 

[Chaosy]

before or after optimization?

 

[Heinvers]

That sounds good.

Beer to the whole team

 

[Wolffman]

That sounds good.

Beer to the whole team

What kind of Beer? Hein-e-Ken?

 

[kakuzu]

You guys deserve a champagne !

 

[bethmachine]

Apple juice for me please!

 

[Tal'Rarity]

Chocolate milk for me.

 

[Wa666r]

I'll take a Russian Water.

 

[Chaosy]

I'll take a too-much-off-topic-drink

 

[kakuzu]

I prefer a white wine

 

[Vinz]

So, can I please see it?

 

[bethmachine]

I'll take a too-much-off-topic-drink

Ohhh that's to expensive! *laughs*
Back to the topic have you added any mew systems, or what sytems are you planning on adding?

 

[Argos]

So, can I please see it?

Chaosy asked if you want the optimized or the older trigger to be posted.

Ohhh that's to expensive! *laughs*

My NewGen editor seems to be bugging and Warcraft 3 is lagging every time I try to play War of the Clans. Chaosy however had no lags at all when we had been working yesterday. The alpha release is scheduled for today, so I need to fix it quick.

 

[Vinz]

Oh, sorry. Both, please?

 

[Strydhaizer]

The alpha release is scheduled for today, so I need to fix it quick.

Alpha! . Beers!

Dont rush man

 

[Heinvers]

Here's a cookie Strydy <3

Sounds good Argos

 

[kakuzu]

Cant wait to see it !

 

[Chaosy]

Too bad I got some stuff to do on the map first. I guess I'll be done in a few hours, depending on when I decide to start. Just worked on my cinematic for 2-3 hours non-stop so I need a break before working again.

 

[kakuzu]

Dont warry take a break , it is not the end of the world

 

[Argos]

My head i going to explode...need a break too. Spend like 5 hours fixing my NewGen, such a waste of time...

I hope we will manage to release alpha today, but as i said, the whole team is exhausted either from school, work or other life situations.

EDIT: Lol, kukuzu, you posted at the sime time i did. Mind reading?

 

[kakuzu]

@Argos . Maybe , maybe i knew that you will say that i read your mind

 

[bethmachine]

Finally, just to notify I saw your map size I bigger than 8mb isn't it meant to be below that? Unless you haven't optimised the map yet?

 

[Argos]

Hold on, Chaosy put here the map in haste. Please dont pay any mind to it (it's buggy).

 

[Chaosy]

Alpha Released!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are proud to present you our latest version of WAR OF THE CLANS!
Our team worked really hard for the project to be born. We hope you will enjoy this trial demo version and prepare for upcoming Beta which will include completely new HD terrain and fully finished clan storylines.
Go play it!

 

[Argos]

Oh come on Chaosy, be patient!

 

[kakuzu]

Great , it finaly arrived . So all the bugs have been fixed ?

 

[Argos]

Not by far, my World Editor is broken and Chaosy worked as my right hand to fix the last issues. We were quite short on time and did what we could, but despite all problems and obstacles we hope you will enjoy this new Alpha version of War of the Clans.

 

[Wa666r]

It's alright. Alphas are meant to have many issues. Hopefully not any game breaking ones.

 

[Argos]

Yeah btw Wa666r your new icons for Strenght and Wisdom heroes are still missing

Prepare for beta! D
