3.103 Reality-Bending Tooltip HotfixNew build! This one is a hotfix: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Finalizing_Multiplayer#3.103_Reality-Bending_Tooltip_Hotfix
It fixes several mods that had exceptions in the prior version, but it also in general fixes a pretty apocalyptic and mind-blowing bug in the prior version. It was just a few lines of code where the ramifications were not clear to the code author (that's kinda on me), and this was easily fixed. But it created a really amusing portfolio of possible results. Some of my favorites:
- Units transforming into other units as you mouse over them in the sidebar. But not the ones you're actually hovering over, and not always.
- All of your units of some sort exploding randomly as you mouse over unrelated units on the battlefield.
- The very idea of some unit type disappearing from a fleet as you moused around.
This absolutely was savegame-corrupting as a bug, and we apologize for that, but hope you also enjoy the humor of the resulting reality bending results, at least. We had the first report that something was up within a few minutes of the build going out last night, and so rolled it back to be only on the beta branch until we could figure it out this morning. So hopefully it actually affected very few people in practice.
More to come soon.
Enjoy!
[ 2021-06-09 16:56:37 CET ] [ Original post ] AI War II is a grand strategic RTS against an overwhelming, inhuman enemy who has conquered the galaxy. The enemy has made only a single error: underestimating you.
You must steal as much technology as you can, and take enough territory to fortify your bases and launch your attacks. But every conquest you make turns the attention of the AI ever more in your direction... so choose your targets with care.
It's "a sequel to [Arcen's] enormo-space RTS AI War, which we called'one of this year's finest strategy games' back in 2009" (Tom Sykes, PC Gamer)
What's New?
We still have a lot of work to do on the game, and we're undergoing some major work with our beta testers before heading to Early Access, but a lot is already awesome:
- The game is crazy moddable.
- It's multithreaded to take full use of modern computers.
- The new 3D graphics are working out great.
- The UI has already been dramatically improved by the introduction of a tabbed sidebar in the main view, and streamlining of several other mechanics that felt very difficult in the past. More to come, there.
- We’ve got art for over 130 distinct units (not counting different mark levels), and there's more to come.
- We’ve got over 1500 lines of spoken dialogue from more than 25 actors, focusing primarily on the human side at the moment; we have a few hundred lines of AI-side taunts and chatter, some of which is recorded but just not processed yet.
- There are hundreds of high quality sound effects for a varied battlefield soundscape (with distance attenuation if you’re far away, and positional 3D audio if you’re down in the thick of it), all routed through a tuned mixer setup for optimal listening to all the various parts.
- We have a set of music from Classic that is over four and a half hours long, and the new music from Pablo is partly in, but mostly set to be mastered and integrated within the next week or two.
- There’s also a ton of map types, many of them new, and with a lot of sub-options to make them even more varied.
- And a whole lot more.
