New bigbullets (4x upscale)

[qan]

Looks like Wirah beat me to it. Packed it all up and then didn't need to upload, heh.



There was a small bug preventing the new automatic season rollover feature from activating. Should now be fixed. Sorry about that.

Thanks for taking the time to post the update. I'll set a reminder to update the graphic in the arena ASAP.

For S11, the code and graphics are in for using alternate ship colors (gold, silver, bronze). Hasn't been extensively tested, though. This...

Hm, still?

Those with the apostrophe to question mark issue, are you using an iPhone?

Probably "Smart Punctuation" is on -- an ironically-named feature, as it's pretty idiotic, breaking forms, passwords, etc. all over the web.

One possible idea to offset cap's value as a "free" pick: rather than a random draft, have draft order be based on cap's total star value, ascending.

[qan]

Gave it a shot. With the upscale, the L3 with a hole in the center was a bit too much, so I took that out. Also did some minor pixel touchups. You have essentially a very bright but still rounded bullet at 4x. I'll have to try this version out a bit more and...

Hahahha



He says he'll be able to get to them soon. So all shall be well in medal land.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Makes it a lot easier to take care of. The problem with not having a leagues team that remains on board across multiple leagues is that this kind of thing ends up falling through the cracks far too often....

True, but who can be bothered to completely revamp the TK module? I'm trying to be realistic here.

I checked it just the other day, seemed to be 5s rather than the 2s claim for small games. Claim time adjusts based on population. Should be 2 to 4 seconds. If you do some field tests and notice this isn't happening, I'm definitely interested to hear.

Would advise apologizing when you TK, then, and ask that they forgive your TKs. This can be done by PMing "np" to TW-Guard0. It refunds back your TK tax, and also nullifies the TK points received.

There's only a message that comes up...

Increased claim seconds required by Weasel from 5 to 6 to give a slightly longer time to recover from a surprise attack.

Old forums archived. Left two current discussion threads.

Yep, same one, except bouncing bullets are fixed in this version. Not a big deal for most TW arenas, but noticeable in other zones....

Right now you can find the standard version that was available on ssdownloads here: http://trenchwars.org/ssdl/Graphics/BigBullets.zip That's the one we decided to use for the Steam install, at least. There are at least 5 different versions, though. I wasn't...

Not sure where to put this. Here's good enough, maybe. Working on a new version of bigbullets.

Intentions:

- Scale bullets up to visibility comparable to the original. Original 5x5 bullets were made when 800x600 resolution was considered...

[qan]

It does, but only if you win....
