Right hand column in the mission page isn't laying out properly, can't see who else is in a mission without clicking the link.

Ryan,

If we try to set CR Chamber to auto for missions and arena, it defaults back to manual (page in question)
https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... ptions.php

Looking on the Edit HMW Player dashboard though, my options are already set to Auto for both.

Thank you for the link. So much easier!

This has been fixed.

This should be fixed as well, though I can't figure out what's causing the fonts from the briefs to be so much larger than they should be. Regardless, this version of Seibertron.com is on borrowed time so that's how it will stay for now.

Not a new bug but I've just been reminded of it. On the Buy/Install Armor page.

The 'install cost' column hasn't worked for as long as I can remember, they just remain at 0/0

Also, not sure if it is deliberate, but not-resetting before installing a new type adds extra time to uninstall the previous armour (e.g. Uninstalling 10 tons of Iron takes the same time as installing it, on top of the install time for its replacement.)
Those of us with awarded altmodes (e.g. the Sharkticon) that can't be reset are penalised heavily this way.

Appreciate these are only minor issues/questions, but thought I'd raise them anyway.

Fixed! Thanks for pointing this out.

As for the other issues you mentioned, I'll add them to my list of things to take a look at.

Don't know if this is a bug or a bit of maths I don't understand. Top two places both had exactly the same XP score, but different energon winnings.

I'm assuming that there's nothing in the programming to manage ties, but it still sorts them in an order based on who came into the battle first or something silly like character ID or perhaps randomly (if tied). It looks like you received the amount you should have received for coming in 2nd place. Something to look at later down the road once I understand the game mechanics more.

I'm not at a computer and not gonna try to figure it out on my phone but it most likely it was just a difference of who you hit. By a weird twist of fate the xp payouts ended up the same but because the Energon uses a different calculation than xp those didn't match.

[Psychout]

Both of those make sense, either way its the XP that counts.

An actual, if minor, problem:
Arena CR seems to default to manual despite setting it to Automatic in options.

I think I also fixed a couple of minor problems that was preventing new users from joining HMW earlier. It's still not pretty, but I think people can get to it now. The changes I made on Seibertron.com that prevented new players from joining happened the better part of 5 to 8 years ago, unless I'm mistaken and some of you are newer players (i.e. from the ground up). Very frustrating to see that this wasn't even working properly yet very encouraging that there's a lot of you who are still very much involved in playing after all of these years. Thank you for sticking with it. Hope you guys enjoy the ride from here on out. It took over 15 years to get to this point, talk about a long wait for something fun to happen!

Even though the Con clearly dominated the bots were declared victor in this arena bout.
https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... na_id=2374
Add that to Predacon wins
https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... na_id=2373
And Maximal wins
(No easily found link but trust me it happens too)
And it's clear the Arena Judges are drunk & need to go home.

Arena Judges remain drunk and I managed to find a Maximal victory.

The alt index. Until recently, this page contained an image of every single altmode, both past and present, inviting people to use them as avatars. It was used by some of us as a reference for finding altmodes relevant to certain games like althunts.

last time I used it would have been around 6 months ago.

That page was not setup like that. Just verified it with a backed up file from April 2018 and one from March 2012.

However, there is a page that does what I think you are talking about at https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/Complete_altmodes.php

though I'm unsure how people are supposed to get to that page. If you can let me know how people are supposed to get to that page, I can verify that the links are programmed correctly.

I may have explained it badly. https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/index.php was just a block of hundreds of .gif images that had all of the alts on it in a giant unnamed list. I have https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... tmodes.php bookmarked as well, but it doesn't have the inactive and unused altmodes the index did.

There are/were no pages linking to either of those that I knew of though, but /Complete_altmodes could probably do with going in the help section to replace the dead altmode database?
