when I goto fight in the arena (as a maximal) if cons are waiting to fight the button says wait instead of fight (but clicking the button does start the fight).

If Bots are waiting, everything looks and works as expected.

It does the "waiting" thing with Preds as well.

:MAX:

It's been a while since I've been here, seems like my team still exists but my bots are gone...and I have zero money to buy a new bot. Any ideas on what happened?

Must be some sort of Autobot/Maximal conspiracy because the same thing happened to me.

just a guess here:

It's something with how the retreat algorithm is done.
(Fact)...With regards to the retreat algorithm, the side that incurs the least damage is the winner. (this is the same thing as saying the side that does more damage is the winner)
(hypothesis)...The algorithm considers all factions and not just the two competing...so obviously the other 2 haven't had any damage done to them so they win...and a tie goes to the first faction (aka autobots in this case)...of course this hypothesis implies it's choice 1 (least damage incurred) and not choice 2 (most damage dealt), which are no longer the same thing when considering more than 2 factions.

Very good. And it is a situation I haven't been able to recode yet.

This game was originally built for 2 factions so little things like this popping up is not surprising.

Another bug here

Same bug as I've had before, where a faction that isn't participating in the battle wins.

by **Ouroboros** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 4:15 am

Erm, I though this problem had been fixed?

Even though I would have lost I suppose I should still bring this up.

by **Terror Prime** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 9:05 am

well small bug problem. I cant see my arena logs

by **Rat Convoy** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 2:48 pm

Does anyone else who has an alt attached to your profile still have access to it? I reset some bots recently and noticed I can't seem to find my Rat alt from the Xmas tourney any more (good thing I wasn't resetting Rattrap).

Nope, I reported this myself earlier. Raider's alt is no longer attatched to my profile (which I discovered <i>after</i> resetting him...), but I told this to OS and I'm sure he's aware of it. I think he still has that prize alt data on some backup version of the game or something... :-?

HELP i can't seem to log out of my account, Hollow say he and Kamjiin have the same problem but hollow thinks that it might be due to loging in twice in order to see some mission logs. if this is true can some one please fix it and my logging out problem please

by **sumowrestler** » Sat Oct 20, 2007 9:05 pm

Here is a real minor bug and almost moot but figured I would post it anyways. In arena battles, which I still can't see on the main page, the mission log should be filled with red and green boxes. This arena only has green boxes for me.

Today I reset some Maximals to take advantage of the current rotation before the rotation tommorow. Along with them came autobot robot modes. But one of the modes I picked for this character, a bulk-type, turned into a snowcat after I picked it and will not change back. I know I have heard others point this out before, so is there a way to fix this or am I stuck with it? :???:

Its a minor bug but when I went to the arena there were 3 maximals waiting, instead of the button saying fight, it said wait. I clicked it and it put me in the arena battle. A minor thing but I figured I'd let ya know.

by **Ouroboros** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 6:33 pm

I tried clicking on the Detail button for performance summaries of my characters, but it doesn't work, does anyone else have that problem? I'm assuming it's to do with the recent loss of mission and arena logs.

that hasn't worked in years! i think it worked for about 6 weeks or so and then majorely killed the site's performance

the bug where you get dropped from missions, stasis locked, and don't get put into CR is back.
