Bugs and helpful links thread 17/09/09 (now with minicon goodness!)

Postby Psychout » Thu Sep 17, 2009 10:26 am

Motto: "This post clearly was meant to offend, and if you are affected by it in any way please close your browser and discuss it with someone who knows not to take the internet seriously."
Weapon: Black Magic
Please note: HMW 1 is under a 'codefreeze' and is being re-written from scratch by Mogwai Prime, due for release at the end of 2009.

Therefore there will be no further changes to the code, missions, altmodes, tactics or any other aspect of the game of any kind. Below is a list of the known issues and bug HMW v1 has, which the staff are well aware of. Please do not make any further topics regarding these issues.

Thank you,
Psychout.

In-Game Issues
Minicons ("Murderplex ate them all")
Minicons will not be returning to this version of the game. They were added in by a previous programmer as a(n eventually unsuccessful) test and due to that programmers recent departure the Minicons link will remain in the sidebar for as long as this game still runs, but will remain empty.

Armour
Armour Is bugged to be more variable than it should be, additionally the armour install page doesn't calculate the install time/cost of the selected armour.
Armour is also bugged so we only pay install costs, not the energon cost of the armour itself.

No Recharge Weaponry
Certain No-recharge (NR) weapons, do in fact have a very small recharge.

Mission Generation
Looking at the Mission page with a stasis locked TF causes the page to generate a new mission each time you look at/refresh it.

Mission levels
The missions only go up to level 4. If you manage to climb higher in the levels than that, congratulations! ...it's the Arena for you from now on.

Battle Time Outs
When an arena battle/mission times out, it's bugged to award the win to an non-competing faction and does not award the win bonus.

Beast Faction Arena Logs
They don't show up on their index page.



Altmode Issues
Complete Altmode Lists
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... tmodes.php
This doesn't work for beast factions; they will see the Decepticon list

Altmode Icons
There are numerous alts with the wrong mini-icon, non functioning icons, the in-abilty to change colour and misspelt alt descriptions, please post them here

Altmode recolouring
The palette does not display the colours while using Firefox until a colour is selected, it still works though; the alt icon will still display the colour.
*this has now been corrected*



Forum Issues
Faction board access
New players may not immediately be able to see their faction forums, please leave it for 48 hours from when you first start playing but if you still do not have access, leave a message below.

The tourneys forum
Currently unavailable to players, this forum will be reactivated in due course.
