Also, sometimes when you click the build or research button, it doesnt pop up.
EDIT: It is just because of lag. Nvm.
BUG5or6:Cant climb down outpost.
If you destroy a building, the bullet holes and arrows are still there.

yes... And the axe but the server is down right now.

Bugs(Mountain Peak map)
1. When you switch to hammer you can't switch back.
2. There is a little green button on the top left corner???
3. People on the list do not appear on the list but in the game.
(they only appear when they reconnect)

Suggestions
2.Slow down the cloud effect. If it is snow drifts or mist it is fine but if they are clouds they go really FAST.

We are getting close to solving the bugs for the Mtn. peak map.
I have been updating the list up above so if you know some more just tell me and I will keep posting the ones for the map. I just want to know when we will get to use vehicles.

Wow, thanks so much for all the bug reports everyone!

Sorry about the server, it's up again now. And now I am going to tackle bugs, the first being that server list problem! Is your server up The Nerd?

whoot!!
@ Uncle Sam

Make sure you look at the list above. We have almost complete the list of my bugs that I found. There might be more but I need to test.

We need someone to host a server. I wish we could private host were we can test stuff without having to have someone host the server. It would be easier.

On the pic I uploaded, before that I unlogged out. You can see 3 dots on the minimap. From before. The mouse sprite was also from previous game.
Sci-fi stuff isnt supposed to recover from recoil. Oh errr pic attached is the bullet holes staying.

Will do.

You can actually, if you can handle two copies of the game open. Just host, then open another copy and press "i" and enter your local IP Address. But yeah, we need another server up! I'd do it in a second, but I'm afraid to do it because in the terms my ISP says not to host.

EDIT: Still not sure, but I may have fixed the server list problem. I need a server to test it with!

EDIT: Going to eat, will be back soon.

EDIT: Thanks for the info Eminent.

Any fixes for the

"Runtime error 7008- object does not exist at line 12277
Object number not found : 2"

error? I tried to connect to thenerds server, but when it was fully loaded, I saw a few buildings. Otherwise, everything else was black. Then, the game crashed and I got the 7008 error...

Well, the server doesn't seem to want to stay running, but I think it's a computer issue. I think I'm just going to leave it off for tonight, I can't stay up and watch it.

@ Eminent

Yes That is a bug. I found it earlier but never posted it. Thank you for posting it.

Also I dont know if it has not been compiled yet but you can not place a garage and you can not upgrade to an axe. But if you spawn at the gun range you can choose your gun. If you spawn at the Lightning post thing you can choose your sword/axe. I dont know what happens when you spawn at the barracks but I think you choose your lazer gun. But the Archery does not work like Eminent said.

Good news! I remembered that we are actually with Frontier internet now, and I called them and they say I can host a server since I'm not yet commercial, so as soon as I find the password I'll forward a port and host a server on FIOS internet.

Cool I will post an updated list of bugs.

Bugs(Mountain Peak map)
1. When you switch to hammer you can't switch back.
2. There is a little green button on the top left corner???
3. People on the list do not appear on the list but in the game.
(they only appear when they reconnect)
4. You cannot repair buildings
5. The lightning stand thingy cannot be destroyed once placed.
6. When you choose to spawn from archery, gun storage, Lightning thingy, etc. You do not receive the gun you want but a random one and sometimes you spawn where you died. Also one the building is destroyed the spawning point is still there.
7. When you spawn at Archery range you get a runtime error and the game crashes.
8. You can build a barracks but it will not say how much resources you will loose when you hover your mouse over it.
9. In the options menu you cannot change normal mapping??

Suggestions
1.Slow down the cloud effect. If it is snow drifts or mist it is fine but if they are clouds they go really FAST.
2.In the archery section how about you make another upgrade where you can get a crossbow??

Log Entry
11/19/10: Tested that all the buildings worked. SUCCESS

11/19/10: Tested that all spawn points give you weapon you choose to have. FAILED

11/19/10: Tested that you spawn at your spawn point you choose from. SUCCESS/FAIL

I beta testing...

Thanks again! That's some awesome detailed work you're doing there.

Wish there was an easier way to keep track of all this. I guess I can just go through the posts, that's actually pretty easy. I should create section on my forum (on my website), but until then this is fine.

GREAT news! After literally hours of struggling with code, I fixed the bug. It will now really update the server list! It takes about 5 seconds to show up, and 10-15 to disappear when you quit the host. Right now it does not show the map name or correct player number for some reason, but at least you don't have to enter the IP anymore! No update necessary on your side.

Cool, because strictly speaking, I shouldn't be running a server on this connection... since it doesn't use port 10 or 80, it'll never get detected, but it costs me.

One thing is, you should really be autokilled once you glitch through tthe ground. I've survived several glitches and I've had to reconnect.

8. You can build a barracks but it will not say how much resources you will loose when you hover your mouse over it.

Err no it does say actually. It is just the Time Front only checks for clicking and hovering and keystrokes in every other loop or something(am I right?) to have less work for the comp to do. So it's just that or lag from the server.

Ill put the bugs I found in a list so it's easier for you, Uncle Sam.

BUG: You can still click outpost even if you haven't researched it. You still lose your resources -.-.
BUG2: If someone tells you to go somewhere and points there with a map marker, you lose your player marker.
BUG3:THe commander role does not pass on if the commander leaves.
BUG4: If you made a new building and its still ghosty, you can glitch and see what behind it. Pic attached(to the original post). Its my resolution so its very big(the pic).
BUG5:Cant climb down outpost.
BUG6: You can glitch randoly through the map. I jumped off a mountain glitched. But I survived it. I had to reconnect. If you want screenie tell me.
BUG7: When in spawn jail you're not really in the jail, just stuck to the spawn side of it.
BUG8:You can see the feet when climbing the ladder. Pic attached
BUG9:If you jump from a fairly large hight(outpost) you can glitch through the ground
Bug10: Can't spawn at archery place.
Bug11:If you are beside a player and he jumps, you jump with him(sparkys collision is messing this up I think.
BUG12:If you jump and press chat to chat in midair, you don't come down. You stay there until you've typed your message and pressed enter.

Suggestions:
Make a grenade!!! I could model it for you if you want.
MOAR GUNS!!! Seriously, very little guns is boring.
Modern age guns. M4A1, A-15, AK47, the likes.

I really hate how it looks right now. I'm gonna do a new one. What do you want it to look like?
Current one looks like the old school Counter-Strikes grenade(1.6).
It looks like this:

Doesn't look so bad to me. If I had a choice, though, I would say probably something like this:

EDIT: Though there's one like that in Dark Matter.

EDIT: I've created a section on my forum for bugs. If you guys want, you can post there, but I might just copy them there myself if you don't want to.

Just press refresh and you can see Uncle Sams server.
Uncle Sam, I finished making the grenade. But, I forgot I was supposed to make the sci-fi one and I made a modern one, only to activate it, you use a button.
BUG13?: You can see through map in mountain pass. Pic included.
Im on the server, anyone up for a game?
