Why do you take any criticism as big evil?

Quote from: JayP on May 22, 2019, 05:57 PMYou need to move past shite like replay save files

Excuse me, what? How would I do gifs then? And how would a league function without replays? You're not going to say "just record the games", right?

Quote from: MonkeyIsland on April 26, 2016, 01:33 PMI'm afraid to say that you are way off track here. Recording third-party software records video! A video file generated by a third-party software has no value to the community. Why?

1. The file size is large.
2. Not even %1 of the gamers will ever bother with recording their game. Not to mention if their machine is suited for such task.
3. It is only a video. No processing can be done on a video file.

What is a replay file?
The game itself records user inputs such as keyboard strokes, mouse movements/clicks etc. When the replay file is opened, the game simply plays it as if user inputs are coming off the recorded replay.

Pros:
1. File sizes are small.
2. Game auto saves the replay file. The process happens in game and would be tiny. That allows us to ask anyone to provide their match replay.
3. Replay file could store what external modules the user might be using while playing. (catching cheaters)

Yet you suggest moving backwards by cutting functionality.

Quote from: JayP on May 22, 2019, 08:24 AMnew versions come out it gives new content to stream

You seem to imagine the difference between the latest version and Team17 WormNET1's lowest allowed version, 3.6.31.0, bigger than it is. Content (maps, schemes, flags, ...) has always been community's responsibility; 3.6.28.0 is the last version I remember that heavily expanded the possibilities for content, because big maps.

The "Keep everyone on latest version" way definitely has reasons behind it, but wouldn't that make the Elite Caste of Streamers appear even more disconnected from normal players, who'd be kicked simply because they have a different version that barely matters?

And don't bring up 4.0,

, especially when the much more likely 3.8 superfails its deadline.

Quote from: JayP on May 22, 2019, 08:24 AMRealistically speaking Backwards compatibility should not be a thing.

Replay files.

Quote from: JayP on May 22, 2019, 08:24 AM@WTF - no issue with you shooting down ideas

I'd say I merely voiced my concerns on certain points.

Quote from: TheKomodo on May 22, 2019, 03:17 AMwith 3.6.31.0 being popular because it's the last version that works with Project X

Yet PX isn't anywhere as popular as 3.6.31.0; when I was playing PX on public hosts, I've only seen the same familiar faces again and again. I dunno, maybe they want to be on the same version as HostingBuddy, imagining this gives the least desynch chance. Or go "I'll try PX... someday" but procrastinate to.

Quote from: JayP on May 21, 2019, 05:09 PMEveryone will need the same version

You'll miss a chance to showcase backwards compatibility!
On a serious note, I don't think last few old versions miss something super important that'd require banning them. It's also not a good idea if planning interactions with randoms in-game, as 3.6.31.0 is rather popular for some reason.
I'm also assuming that 3.7.2.2 and 3.7.2.1 will be treated as one version, because AFAIK .2 is exclusive to Steam and doesn't have noticeable changes.

Quote from: JayP on May 21, 2019, 05:09 PMgraphics turned on all the bells and whistles

I imagine blackground is pretty common among high level players, following the stereotype of pros disabling everything to reduce lag and distruptivity of visual effects. But yeah, it shouldn't cause major inconvenience in W:A.

Notify MonkeyIsland so he can fix it?

Quote from: Sensei on May 14, 2019, 08:32 PMThis was announced earlier today:

if this means HB and WormNAT finally became usable, I hope it'd also be announced somewhere where more people can see it

now only if it was possible to notify everyone who left because of the lag

would you rather have those 120 visitors idle on snoopers?

<`[6]> I'm a Buddhist, I'd say suicide is a temporary solution to a permanent problem.

Does that include Tower RR maps or Big RR maps with TTRR sections or whatever, or is that just pure Big RR maps?

Quote from: Kradie on January 30, 2019, 06:15 PMboth DC & CS have expressed the motivation to provide incremental update after the release of 3.8

Now it seems you're just saying things to say them. CS told us long time ago he's basically not even working on a game anymore.

but

Quote from: CyberShadow on January 04, 2018, 07:41 PMIt is really demotivating to implement a feature or even bugfix, then see it waste away for years in a row in secret alpha builds that only a few people see.

We are in agreement, though, that we need to get back to releasing updates frequently. Hopefully this can become reality instead of another "when it's done" deadlock

Quote from: basically everybodywhen

Quote from: CyberShadow on December 30, 2017, 03:41 PMWell, it's settled. Update delayed until December 31, 2022. Pack it up, boys! I'm sure all 7 people still playing W:A by then will find the wait worthwhile.

QuoteIf a team uses a lot of super weapons and causes a lot of damage and kills, but also takes a very long time to perform their turns, then they can actually achieve both the Most Entertaining Team and Most Boring Team awards at the same time!

I'd assume worm-specific awards work the same way
