yes, but OTHER game require you to have money,....and in THAT particular area I am severely lacking..... I DO have a Wii , but I only have the Wii sports that came with it and Wii games that I bought to get a 2nd controller :-/

Anyone wanna give me their Wii points card and I'll download a few old school NES games to play? haha,...didn't think so :-/

Oh well, back to my yard work and laundry,...errr i mean my wonderful Easter Celebration,...or something.

(wish HMW was just back already) =P~

Indeed.

I just got Lego Star Wars II for my B-day, good timing since I probably would have been spending all my time playing that instead of HMW anyways. Image

ahem.

For anyone who might be a little curious ...

OS has been indisposed with personal matters and has said that once the Easter break is over he'll take a look and sort things out.

So there's no time frame on WHEN it will be back up but he will be taking a look at it in a day or so.

Here's my guess to when the game will be working again, Friday. THree reasons being one OS will be back possibly today or late tonight. IN which case He'll take the time to look around which may take a couple days, then he'll work on the problem with the rest of the staff and sometime friday evening or early saturday morning. Mind you all of this speculation on my part and I'm most likely wrong.


Please bear in mind that I'm not staff. I repeat I am not staff and I am more than likely wrong!

I just updated some of the HMW code and made a few other modifications with the site. I think I've got the game working properly. Please let me know in this thread if you run into any further problems in addition to what actions you took to generate the error.

Thanks!

Guess what, you were wrong.

YAY it's back up!

EDIT: But it's still being weird, because I'm in a battle, but it says that there are no combatants.

Not fixed. Missions still not working but I haven't tried arena yet.

Edit: Yep arenas and missions still broken. I would recommend that you not put your guys in missions because its not going to work and you will have to pay the CR costs for the recovery. OS or Seibertron will tell us when the game is fixed and we will just have to wait patiently. Its ok, kick back, have a drink, and maybe take a long walk on the beach.

Yea, I was just so happy to put my bots into some missions.

They just lost to a bunch of unknowns apparently...

I just dropped one of my guys into a mission to test it out and see how it goes.

Also, i notice that with Firefox the health bars are now working...Or least they're showing up, if they actually work, i'll have to wait until i take some damage i guess.

I just made a few additional changes. I'm not sure if what I did fixed it or not but I'm no longer receiving any errors when I execute the script that runs every minute. Please let me know if it appears to be working for you guys now. Thanks.

I'm thinking the Arena is still buggered.

Dropped 6 Preds into the waiting list, they immediately were listed as fighting, clicked on the link... shows no combatants.

Agreed with Name Violation. There's something to be said for being a level zero still though. Free CR. Yes, I ignored Evolution Prime's warning about the unknowns just to see what would happen. Missions are still doing the Unknowns bug. Not to mention no combatants either when I check out the links to see who's in there. Especially when I know there's combatants. Interesting thing though, it says the number of combatants who have joined on each side, but not who the combatants are. Did anyone note if the missions said anything about numbers before Seib's made some changes?

yea, I dunno what changes were made today,...but it didn't do much of anything :-(

ALTHOUGH the status bars ARE working in mozilla 3 now though :-)

so there is a "bright" side to everything i guess :-/

I know this will clear up,...just hope the status bars stay fixed, cause that's just cool that they are working now :-) Now if we can only get these "unknowns" to get out of the arena/mission area and we can get back to whooping each other :-)

(I say just throw the beta for HMW2 out to all of us early,...we'll just beta test the living crap outta it!)
