      Barrack Hack (Bug or Feature)

      By Thalatta · Posted

      Ah, I was confused. This has nothing to do with "losing health" or "health bars". You mean capture points. Now that I think, maybe that should be called loyalty or allegiance, to pair it with "health", since saying "losing capture" wouldn't make much sense.

      Screenshot below shows another test but with the health bars so you can see the decay clearly

      Barrack Hack (Bug or Feature)

      By manowar · Posted

      @Atrik adding detail here about why your approach (and what I tried first myself) still has problems. (reference PR comment) I added your code, built and ran the game twice as player1 (blue) and player2 (red). In the attached first screenshot player1 has built a barracks close to player2 CC. The new code stops the CC from decaying BUT notice that buildings created by player2 have auto reverted to being owned by player1  AND while they are in the process of decaying the territory line of player2 starts flashing and it is not possible for player2 to add any other building within his own territory (see building highlighted red).  It is for this reason that I approached the problem from another angle i.e. allowing the host to impose a CC distance in the Game Setup. The alternative of messing with the weights of buildings, owning tiles, decay rates felt like a more dangerous change.

      Why end uff server?

      By ffm2 · Posted

      Yeah, that was the thing. As I understand it wfg can't just let any bots run on the lobby. Uff was honest about his bot, but it wasn't approved (yet). I can understand that some boundaries have to be set e.g. to avoid adds, spam etc.. But I liked uffs host. I can also understand that it is not so attractive for a developer to have everything approved of the ideas one wants to try out. For me, I would appreciate such a host in combination with a fast automated pairing system like the LocalRatings Team-Balancer Mod. The hoster could build up a better database than I could by only manually spectating and playing games. This way one could also experiment more with parameters of the pairing system.

      Why end uff server?

      By Seleucids · Posted

      I have some machines which can be used as dedicated servers for 0ad, but I am not fully sure how to achieve a constant lobby presence. Also how to handle the end of a game session  If you are willing, we can work together to pull this off. I can commit my main account to host for people while I'm sleeping. This does not breach TOS as there are no bots (in the sense of xmpp bots) inside the lobby and there is no use of multi accounts. I have seen some promising progress from sanafur who was automating his host largely yesterday evening. Players can allocate themselves and start game by typing commands so that sanafur doesn't have to read the chat and do things manually. It's a good starting point and people with the resources can carry on
