Back in Action

Submitted by DraconisRavenix on Thu, 07/22/2010 - 02:08

All apologies for yet another long-term delay in Hack Wars' development, the developers are all still here and hard at work with several things at once. At this point in time I'd like for players with a few moments and enough frustration to be sure to post bug reports to the forums. I would like to make sure that a lot of the content related bugs are fixed (i.e. broken quests). TerribleTrioJoe will also be keeping an eye out for other bugs that are really irritating and consistent. What I have right now:

  • Ombeke quest and a few other "Beginner" quests
  • Ignore is still broken
  • Disappearing Items (although I do believe this is mainly the HD refresh problem, we'll look deeper)
  • Game Store (Credits) issues
  • High Score list... whoah.
  • Display for quest rewards, however this is a problem between the NPC website/messages and game messages. The "~GAME MESSAGES" output doesn't round any numbers, making it confusing.
  • Popup Message spam for things like loops that contain file i/o functions pointing to files that don't exist (just one example).

There's a few others floating around, of course and we'll do our best to get to them. Thanks for the time, patience and dedication!

Sidenote: There's a few developer twitters and blogs running around the net. If you'd like to keep up on some information regarding Hack Wars, Game Development and programming, you can follow some of us:

Good to know the devs are still alive and dev'ing. Especially looking forward to a fixed up and shiny new chat, and high scores that update, oh, once every month or two... ;)

Network Map bug: please reply

Network Map bug: please reply if you can.

[EDIT] DoSCDatabank bug has been squished, if there are any more let me know.

I believe there are still issues with the network map being glitchy. If anyone experiences a bug with the map (crashes client, or doesn't display map correctly), if you could post the relevant java console logs here, or any other information (like what network the bug happens on), that would be great. Thanks.
