Congrats to Croat for another successful event! This live format was something totally new for atWar and I think it worked really well. It was great seeing everybody online and having fun.

So is the border glitch is gone now? I can save my borders and cities and they won't disappear when I test the map? Is that this fix?

I have no idea. Try it and let me know

Just tried it, Its still not working.
Its Mesos problem that is sill here https://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=44971

You either have to keep re uploading the background image to, fix? this issue. But even then, that doesn't work all of the time and is insanely tiresome to keep going in and out of testing the map and back into editing just to make sure the borders,cites and some cases units are still there, or have not duplicated

Im aware you have lots on your plate. But this/these strange bugs have been in the editor for 3 years now and is affecting different map makers in different ways

I don't understand what issue you're describing here. Would you make a formal bug report for it, in the usual format (https://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=39713) including the steps to reproduce, so I know what you're talking about?

Please follow the bug report format: https://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=39713 (as @LukeTan already stated)

Closing this since it's not actually a bug.

This is caused by the borders of countries not being properly aligned on top of each other which leaves small pixel sized gaps in between them.
Sometimes when you try to move units, the unit's path just so happens to align on top of those small gaps and the game won't let you move the units
because it thinks you are trying to move land units over water.

Here's a quick example I made up.
In the map editor, I purposefully made a border that does not line up and there is a tiny gap in between them. Even on max zoom in the editor, it's still hard to see I made this mistake.


While you're in game, this gap is impossible to see because you're more zoomed out and so you think the borders are perfectly normal.


But occasionally when you move units, you just so happen to cross over that tiny gap and it won't let you go through.


This only happens with land units because they can't walk on water. Air units have no problem.


Here's the actual gap that stops you from moving sometimes.


The way I try to avoid this problem is to keep borders simple with as few nodes as possible. When I overlap borders, I never hold ctrl to place the node wherever. I always make sure the new node snaps to the node on the old border before placing.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I hope this will be helpful to other mapmakers as well.

I have checked the IP of that guest and it was Flume, not CC.

Also i do not know about the forum thread that got archived but i will look into it.

^^ Agree 100%

I can only give opinions about places I've actually been to, so that's why most of my map is empty.

Yellow = idk or 50/50

Top 5 disliked places in order:
1: China
2: Russia

>atwar is literally spying on your real life with the reasoning of "confiriming good promotion"
didnt know the chinese government had enough money to buy this game

I can't find the forum post anymore (I guess it got censored), but I actually did make an announcement a while back about that Chinese consortium taking over atWar: (April 2019 I think it was)

The map name is Cold War RP 1979 V1.2 and the link is: https://es.atwar-game.com/map/?id=28499
You will see there are no longer the region os Kasajistan and Uzbekistan but now USSR: Ural is bugged.
There are no steps as i just did what i always do when mapping. Draw the borders, create de country, add cities and save de map.
When i tested the map, i made it 50k and thats all.

The map is a clone of an other map which was a clone of the world map (only to have the option that premiums have their generals).

Sorry but if you can't give me steps to reproduce it, there's nothing I can do about it.

You said your map is a clone of a clone of a clone. If the map you cloned from is bugged (even if you didn't know it), every future one will be bugged too. The problem could have started anywhere and it will be impossible to find it now. My advice therefore would be to start over using a clean clone of the World Map. That's the only way to make sure you're not cloning old bugs into your map.

Can it upload pics without saving them to my pc? It seems it cant so its a no from me.

If you use zippy you can just copy and paste the image into your browser window, you don't have to save it to your pc.

/end shameless plug for ZippyImage.com

Dave is the owner, he's the only one who'll unban you here. You didn't do anything but play the game normally?

When is someday? Is that something you have planned?

Lol someday means someday. When I say I'm planning to do something that means its on my to-do list and won't be forgotten. If you want a specific date, I have no idea when I'll actually get to it. atWar is not the only thing I have to deal with, you know

Why not use the game start on hold feature? That's already there and seems like the code would play nice woth that feature. It would be on the host to come back and release the game for play but seems like a developer could make that work.

I already tried that. The code is a shit show and it just doesn't work.

Sounds like you're giving up?

Not giving up. Its just there's no point wasting so much time trying to fix it with the existing code. We would be better off throwing it out and rewriting from scratch... which is what I plan to do someday.

1) Which map are you talking about?
2) You've omitted the "Steps to reproduce the behavior" , which is the most important info I need. Assume I'm starting from a new, blank map... tell me exactly the steps I need to do to reproduce the same issue.

No, that post is in "Maps/Scenarios - bugs" forum. That's where you post to get help from other map makers. I'm not a map maker, I do not read that forum.

If you have something you want me to look at, you need to post it in the Bugs forum like I just said: https://atwar-game.com/forum/board.php?board_id=1. Be sure to read the "how to post bugs" post at the top of the forum so you know the required format.

Skrivet av Atomkrieg, 15.11.2020 at 03:01

Ok Dave no offense just trying to bring attention to the issue. As far as the players, we are for sure less important.

Well casual players are not any less important to me. Especially since I'm one of them

Skrivet av Atomkrieg, 14.11.2020 at 08:04

I'm surprised thedog didn't know this but from my experience with him he seems like a good guy. The real blame is on atwar for not fixing these problems after the posts have built up over the years. The casual room should get the same attention, they are paying customers of your business. Also map makers keep us in mind and move t0 events to t1 please.

I, Dave, the owner of atWar -- I'm primarily a casual player myself. So why would you imply the casual room is somehow less important?

Yes I'm aware of the requests for some "t0" feature. The code left to me by my predecessors is so tangled up I haven't the foggiest idea how to make something like that actually work. On the other hand, the rule about hosts not expanding t1 seems to be pretty well known and followed already. So its not that urgent a problem in the grand scheme of things. But apart from that, anything the casual community needs I always support.

If you were interested in investing you never said anything about it, so that's a convenient claim to make now.

Look back your forum topic. I did comment it.

Lol, you want to win on a technicality, okay fine here you go:

Skrivet av ITSGG1122, 05.05.2020 at 07:53

Is there a way of crowdfunding?
Since, i am interested but i am not likely to invest something like 10k.

That was your comment, I had to go look it up because I had no memory of it. One comment asking about crowdfunding, not a serious indication of interest if you can't even put up as small an amount as 10K.

To be more clear, I should have said we never had any conversation about investing, which is certainly true. So my point remains that its convenient for you to claim interest now in something you were obviously never serious about before. Nice try though

I wish I could share @Lord Aragorn's optimism, but sadly it seems nobody else on my side of the aisle has the stomach to fight this. As usual, Republicans appear (to my eyes) to be rolling over and capitulating. At this point I expect President Trump will win some token victory in court but still lose the election (although I'd love to be wrong about that), and then you all who are not from California and don't already know her will get to see how bad Kamala Harris really is for the next 4 years.

Remind me, why Gigi isn't banned already?

And on a side note. To ever think i was genuinely interested into investing in your business when you were asking if people were interested last year. God thank i did not pursue that.

If you were interested in investing you never said anything about it, so that's a convenient claim to make now. But in any case, the last thing I'd want is having to deal with a business partner who, when he's losing an argument, resorts to calling his opponent a "retard"... or who seems utterly incapable of letting anyone else have the last word, ever. Dodged a bullet there.

Also my post about why you're not banned yet was a joke, but that went way over your head apparently.

u ought to know that globalist government will most definetly re pass net neutrality, which is a cozy name for "we control the internet", which the corporations are actually in on.
might wanna purge atwar of all right wing stuff, bc they will be able to shut down any website they want to if Biden stays.

Sadly that does not seem far fetched at all. Considering the stuff that's said here in the forums, I'm surprised nobody has come for us already. But don't worry, if and when it happens I'll move atWar to Switzerland, or whatever country I can find that still values free speech. I will not bow to the political correctness mob.
