I have two suggestions for HB improvements:
-Holes on mole shopper maps hosted with HB do not seem to be randomized correctly. Without testing exhaustively I think they are always the same.
-If possible please display map dimensions in green text along with the other info (# colors, holes etc).
Thanks!!!!
Added, please try it. You can change the hole seed with "!seed hole random" followed by a "!reload".
Works beautifully. This removes the guesswork out of hosting "bigger than regular but not unplayably huge" maps. The seed hole command works great too. Very nice work. Thank you CyberShadow!
Hey Cybershadow, could you possibly create a "!holes" command which combines the "!seed hole random" and "!reload" commands?
All mole shoppers, burning girders, and holy wars hosted with HB should by default force a random seed even when the map is changed. Even if this has unforeseen negative effects on certain maps, the benefits would outweigh those problems.
And the commands should be added to
http://worms2d.info/HostingBuddy. Currently nobody knows about "!seed hole random" command because it's too long, it's not in the wiki, and because it requires a !reload.
I for one greatly appreciate the work you've done already upgrading HB. Adding the ability to see things like number of colors and holes was huge. And creating it/hosting it in general. I am one of the people blocked at ISP level who cannot host without HB or WormNAT.
