Title: 1.3pb4b games
Post by: Red Spot on March 22, 2009, 09:23:16 AM
Whats up with the constant 1.3pb4b games?

Is it released or is it only released to a certain few? No offence but seeing the lag issues in 4a and that the 4b games always have the lowest ping its kind of like "in your face". Feels a bit that the largest part of the pb4x users are left without something 'good' ....

pb4b is in testing.  That is why you periodically see those games up.

Unfortunately it isn't getting as much testing as needed since 99% of the testers don't help out.

Decided im gonna help test a lot more when i can. The RV for it can wait. I have scarce time to work on RV's or my mod as it is atm, may as well do something useful while i am around.

Well as I've modded this game in pretty much every (v1.2)aspect and even did some coding I really wouldn't mind playing pb4b games and giving feedback on those games, if that's the type of testing you're interested in.

But where would I make apparent that I'm willing to lend a hand, there's nothing in the form of an 'apply here' topic/option that I know of....

We don't need more modders, we need more hardcore players, to find new issues.

Has Ultraken been informed of what is going on? Is he available? etc...

Im not sure ultraken is even wanting to work on it anymore. After talking to GSH a while ago i found he had an unfortunate job turnaround with pandemic or whoever owns them now.

I doubt thats going to make him want to work on BZ2 much more, and with GSH's baby on the way i highly doubt any testers will be needed until/if GSH wants to or can work on it in future.

Would it than perhaps not be more usefull to just release pb4b and let GSH spend his time on being father. Than by the time he may be back he has a load of (usefull) feedback about the patch.
The "PB4A Bugs" thread it already dead anyway, and the issues reported are likelly known and for all we know perhaps even fixed.

I do at least hope there will be 'some' update in the near future, even if its just a word from the developer :), as pb4a is really starting to get on my nerves in respect to constantly lagging out, locking MPI-games at 3 players, and even IA-games crashing before you can finish them .....
(issues I didnt have, iirc, in pb3)

pb4b is not ready yet. It has more changes than the top 2-3 complaints about pb4a. Not going to announce them yet.

Sorry, but may I ask why my posts get deleted ?
Was stating that pb4b is now 1.3ta5 such a problem? Everyone can see it by looking at what servers are up ...

DO NOT BLASPHEME!!!

Also, you really don't request to be a Tester. Rather, they choose you out and convert you into a Tester. :P

Normally someone has to suggest you, and give details, and then you are vetted, and the person who suggested you can have his ass in the flames if you screw up.

Well. Im sorry then, I was just offering my help seeing as how you guys said that you need people who test and not mod, And well I don't mod, But I guess I was wrong :/

I will put you on my list for future beta testers for mods. :wink:

heh, Thanks, but you don't have to do that

EDIT: I have to be to nosey, but is there any major changes to the upcoming patch
maybe a lagout bug fix? Or am i pushing my luck :P

I generally don't announce features or fixes in advance of public releases.

Im sorry, it just i was curious because the lagout bug is a pain. I guess I shouldn't of asked
Title: Re: 1.3pb4b games
Post by: Nielk1 on April 06, 2009, 06:13:14 PM
Changes are not announced because they may be removed because of issues. You wouldn't want to hear "In this next version you can make flying cows!" just to find when it comes out, you can't.
Title: Re: 1.3pb4b games
Post by: Purplehaze on April 06, 2009, 06:17:57 PM
heh, Funny way to put it, But I see your point



heh, flying cows.

If you could make flying cows, Av would love it, because then he could do his flying Mauler.

O_- Flying mauler would seem a bit unbalanced, but i'd love to see it ingame
Title: Re: 1.3pb4b games
Post by: AHadley on April 10, 2009, 03:11:03 AM
There would be something made to balance it eventually, I'm sure.
