I'm sure Deadboy and Snapcase want their rewarded permanent alts as well.
You forgot Optimus Prive's permanent Windracer alt and my permanent Raider alt, too.

Other than that, cool. Nothing that I'd really use, but I did snatch up that Pegasus while I have the chance.

Ransom's going to be happy to hear the alt-rotator is up and running (despite whatever kinks there may be).

So you're either being a sneaky little smartarse and trying to score some free alts ... or there were some prizes handed out for an unofficial competition which there was no mention of. Interesting.

I wasnt aware there were prizes given out for the Scavenger hunt. What are the chances of it happening for Fatal Darkness as well?
Assuming htis isnt just Windy being really quite clever...

I noticed that there were no tactics under the Fox after OS fixed the original bug. I have a feeling that he'll be working out some bugs for a couple of days.
I'm just hoping the Berserk Fury rotates into the alts in 3 weeks

Yeah, we were sneakily rewarded via PM. If I don't get a perma alt again, I guess that's okay. I'd like the windy alt to go into Decepticon rotation, though, so there might be a chance to get it back someday (if I ever reset those characters.)

So were me n OS for coming second... Still not seen them come up on the list of posible alts (we didnt get any asigned, we were only given the chance to select some to be added to the roter).
Wait a min, OS is HMW Programmer now!

All I got for comprehensivly winning the alt hunt was a sif I disregarded for my normal one after not too long. *grumble mumble*

Thanks. That was a piece of debugging code I forgot to take out when I fixed the "unavailable alts" issue. I fixed that problem within 5 minutes right after I woke up so if that's the worst that happens I'm happy.kaijubot_uk wrote:Well, not everything is working.

Here's the deal on "rewarded" alts. I need to treat that as a seperate module in the code. Your alts are safe but they just won't be showing up thrown in with the rest of the regular alts. I was wanting to seperate rewarded alts into their own section on the screen anyway so you actually see that you were rewarded something.
In the meantime, if you need to reset a bot with a rewarded alt just pm me the character and the alt and I'll set him up manually until I get the rewarded alts section integrated.

Dang it, we have a rat alt available (amusingly with the ram tactic) and I can't think of a use for it. Could it pass for a hamster?
And btw, nice work OS.

Thank you sir.Caelus wrote:And btw, nice work OS.
It is probably letting you set them, it just isn't taking the list away when you select one. Go ahead and select a rare or common alt and go to your registry to see if it sets that alt for your character.kaijubot_uk wrote:So far its refused to let me have any none-core alt modes.
EDIT*** This is definitely a bug as it is not picking up the tactics for non-core alts right now. Programmatically this is a minor problem that I will get fixed this evening.

Excellent news. Now to wait 3 weeks before there's any more alts I want.
Good work, OS.

Well, I've finally given up my RiD ultra magnus and Grimlock alt modes... sigh. My only old auto-alts left are ecto-1 and a lion.
