Known Game problems and helpful links (please read) 12/05/09

[Tammys post hijacked by Psychout]

Please note that Heavy Metal War only has 1 programmer who holds down a full time job as well as spending his spare time designing and creating the much anticipated sequel to HMW. Therefore Omega Sentinel has placed HMW V1 under a code freeze and will be leaving any bugs that do not impact on the core game to allow him to concentrate his limited time on getting HMW2 completed as soon as possible.

We hope you understand and bear with us as we all have the same issues to deal with.
Thank you,
Psychout.

In-Game Issues
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.

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.
(Another reason to stick to the missions ;))

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

Altmode Issues
Update: 12/05/09
Common and Rare altmodes are no more
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/altmodes.php
After a recent server switch, the only altmodes that are available now are from the Core list. This bug is not likely to be corrcted until HMW2 is released.

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*


High Score chart Issues
Update: 12/05/09
High Score charts
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/high.php
Due to the server switch, the High Score Tables no longer updates. This bug is not likely to be corrcted during HMW V1.x's lifespan and will be restored for HMW2.
Fearless Echoes (a.k.a. Redimus) maintaines a player list that can be applied for in this forum or there is a list of the top 200 commanders available here.


Forum Issues
Faction board access
It's bugged. You will have been given access to whichever faction you were in 3 months prior to the reset, sorry. It is likely to be fixed in a single update further down the line.
*this has now been corrected*

Thank you Tammuz.

If you encounter a bug that is listed here, please be patient. We know about all of these, and you can be assured that they affect everyone and not just you, and in time they will all be addressed.

Thanks.

EDIT: have updated the list above to make it more comprehensive and to add in some helpful links.
