Yea it's fixed

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Damn I'm missing out on this because of exams, but heck, I'll try to help you guys make the map more well known after my exams when it's officially released

 

[RiotZ]

Okay, I just got back from a 1 week leave, and now I'm ready to play this awesome shit. !!!

Clan bar @ US East hosts it about 7 times per day we get on about 4:00 Eastern US time to 10:00.

 

[HOooDy]

Hey.. Fingol ! ... Please do not give your models to others.. !

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Hehe, just a little question Fin, I hope you wouldn't mind...
Would there be a way players would be able to shoot down those major bombs/missiles like cruise missiles etc.?

PS: And recycle them to be reused by the country which finds it, even if that country cannot produce the bomb/missile?

Thanks!

 

[Fingolfin]

We have discussed this before.
Just play the game, Foxy. First we fix bugs, then we think of adding more stuff (missiles are not in the game yet).

Physically impossible. Horrible idea.

Awesome, my name is xRiotZx on USEast, I'll stop in when I get a chance.

 

[HOooDy]

If im the terrainer ill use the smooth tool to the shores !... you should fix the shores

 

[Hugomath]

You got that HE-111 model done? It's kinda awkward to use the B-17 as Germany :/

EDIT: Btw, did you decided if Italy will have its own armor or not?

 

[Fingolfin]

Dunno if i mentioned, but Vuorma found a few flags on the optimizer that reduced the maps size by another 400kb. So yeah, we can propably have room for both italian armor and chinese infantry.

@Empire_Jackal: Some shores are sharp due to how water pathing behaves with the small units we use. If the shore is too long, units will be able to travel a long way under water before they reach the water pathing (at least enough to be covered far over their heads).

I love you!!!!

 

[Fingolfin]

I just finished the mesh for the Ju88. It looks like crap, so that means i must have nailed it.

 

[Hugomath]

Have you decided the unique researches for each country yet?

 

[Fingolfin]

Nah, perhaps i will have production cost/speed for the US and something ship-related for japan, i dunno. Vuorma also thought of the idea that you would be able to upgrade it so that airplanes drop a soldier in parachute when they die, which would propably be feasable.

 

[Hugomath]

That reminds me of paratroopers. I know we've already discussed this, but can you consider adding them?

All countries will share some researches that improves units' stats, like damage, armor, speed, etc, right?

 

[Vuormalainen]

Version 1.1 is now available, get it here!

Official post here.

 

[Svenska_0rmen]

There is on thing that u should look into. When i played this 2 days ago with some friends a Heavy bomber bugg so it never stopped dropping bombs, and you couldnt controll it. Started to lagg alot, and the plane just flue around and destroyed everything.


Edit: are there anyone hosting this on Europe? i really want to play but i cant find anyone hosting it.

 

[Fingolfin]

I'm up to play it if someone wants to host it too, just join up here and decide a time! For some reason i can't host on wc3 right now, might be something about my ports.

Anyways, that bug sounds pretty serious, dunno how it could have occured.. it might be related to the airplane freezing bug though; bombs work in the way that i start a timer once the plane is about to start dropping, and every drop, i increase a value in the planes associated struct. What happens in the freezing bug though is that the plane looses reference to it's struct somehow, which would technically mean that this integer could no longer be accessed...

Anyways, thanks for letting me know, we will continue hunting down theese bugs as good as we can!

 

[Vuormalainen]

Edit: are there anyone hosting this on Europe? i really want to play but i cant find anyone hosting it.

Try the U.S east server, works just as fine. Clan BAR or UFN there seems to be hosting it.

 

[Gausslander]

The UI training que is glitched, it's cut off with 6.5 training slots instead of 7. The icons on the left side of the screen are unprofessional, the planes are damn-near useless... this game is quite buggy. I was disappointed when I tried to bomb my enemy's units only to find that none of them were hurt or killed. Please make anti-infantry planes, as well. And make them work.

We know of the UI training que and we plan to make real icons for the "heroes".

If theres bugs other than the airplane system messing up sometimes, please tell. Heavy bombers works perfectly against infantry.

Thanks, and keep in mind that this is a beta.

 

[Fingolfin]

Yeah, a well placed carpet bomb can kill infantry en masse, so i don't know what you're talking about. Dive bombers can also hit infantry. The "bug" with the queue is just related to alpha in the UI overlay, it will be fixed by the next version.

 

[CrimsonDeath]

I just was just playing the game when i found a strange bug...
My friend was playing the soviet union. When we looked at the multibord he had 1750 oil income but ingame he got 5000 every turn. he only had like 4 refineries so it was very strange.

 

[Gausslander]

The planes didn't work for me. I bombed my enemy's troops, and they remained undamaged.

Posting a replay would maybe be helpful.

 

[Fingolfin]

I just tried it myself, bombing chineese infantry as japan. They fell like a house of cards!
It works against ships and tanks too, did you remember to hit the "bomb target" button?

In the future, planes will auto-bomb at the location you order them to launch to, but we haven't quite gotten that to work yet.

 

[clockwork2]

hm..will anyone have certain advantages?like germany has better tanks?

 

[Fingolfin]

There already are such advantages. You can find stats on http://worldinflames.se/units.php.

German tanks have more hit points and damage but less speed and high production/upkeep cost, while russian tanks are fast, cheap, and harder to penetrate (through the armor penetration system used with piercing shots) although they have less hit points and damage. American/british tanks are cheap and have very low upkeep, while japanese tanks are crap overal.

 

[clockwork2]

i see

 

[WOWWARS]

Make china a bit weaker and make it like HELL! make it as hellish as possible for everyone

 

[Destroyer25]

China should only occupy 40% of Japan's income, not sure how much they have now.

 

[Fingolfin]

Please do not post your requests in this thread!!!!

All models will be released in time. I will not make any new ones for you.

 

[HOooDy]

Thats no a request just an idea !

 

[WOWWARS]

Man power really needs to be impletmented in someway its kinda bullcrap how Every nation can out number the chinese i think only ones who could are The British and Russians

 

[Fingolfin]

Two seconds ago you wanted to nerf the chinese?
China has the cheapest and most fast produced infantry (even more so than the russians) so that should solve itself.

Frankly i have not understood anything you guys have been trying to say the last five posts or so

 

[WOWWARS]

okay tried new version fixed alot of stuff thanks and i saw the To-Do list: it was Epic i hope u add events and modes soon.

I was saying that China should only have 40% of Japan's income, as China occupied about 40% of Japan's forces during the war.

 

[CrimsonDeath]

Doing some progress fin and Vuorma?

 

[Vuormalainen]

Doing some progress fin and Vuorma?

Well, everything which we've stored here:
http://worldinflames.se/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=181&p=1048#p1048

Mostly working on game modes and the new research system coming up. Update should be released within a week or two.

 

[CrimsonDeath]

You guys once talked about the option to choose only one of the theatres (European or Asian). When will that be possible?

 

[Vuormalainen]

Could probably get that into 1.2 as well, thanks for the reminder

But we plan to make it exclusive to the european theather though as the asian theater alone isn't well balanced. (China, UK, USA, Soviet all allies vs poor axis Japan)

 

[Fingolfin]

Vuorma has done some great progress on the voting dialog, so we should be able to have that in the next version.

Also, i will soon be posting some shots of the now finished V2 MODEL OOOHHHH MYYYY GOOODD!!!!"#"

Can't wait to see that sexy V2. Btw, top of the morning to you Fin.

 

[CrimsonDeath]

Sounds Awesome guys! I am looking forward

 

[Hugomath]

Fingo didn't you said before about certain bonuses to countries? For example: Japan with a buff for naval units, UK with a buff for air units... I guess it was something like that.

I was reading a certain article suggested by someone in the website, about tanks, and I end up reading that the Japanese made out with some interesting researches about armor. For example, they were pioneers in developing amphibious tanks. Perhaps there could be a little research to improve Japanese armor, since it really sucks...

Japanese armor was inherently bad though. Despite having some amphibious AFVs, which were pretty useless anyway because Japan was on the defensive for most of the war, most of their kit was substandard.

 

[Fingolfin]

I was playing with the thought of having amphibious tanks for a while, but it is very hard to implement since you can't limit the distance a unit can travel in water (theese kind of tanks would only travel short distances in the water, and could not travel on open sea).
Also, balance-wise, japan is very strong in many other fields such as navy, infantry (with the help of an officer) and a very decent airforce, so the lousy tanks was just a drawback intended to even this out.
