Zanzarino (Lead Developer) speaks about new features

[Kamietsu]

[03:24:47] zanzarino: Good... lots of people in the chatroom

[03:25:03] zanzarino: I just updated the trainer with some new stuff

[03:25:23] zanzarino: I added a "you lost" screen that lays on top of the game field instead of clearing it

[03:25:35] zanzarino: That way it does not feel like omg the game crashed and I lost

[03:26:18] zanzarino: And, since it felt like catapult did not have much interaction with other element I added a little bit of easter egg twists

[03:26:31] zanzarino: frozen creatures get 20% binus on damage

[03:26:58] zanzarino: and poisoned ones transfer the poison counter to the opponent

[03:27:20] zanzarino: Yes i also added game time and turns

[03:27:43] zanzarino: all of them (the poison counter) [In regards to poisoned creatures being catapulted.]

[03:29:27] zanzarino: Oh I fixed a couple of bugs... skeletons being visible even when Ai is cloaked

[03:29:44] zanzarino: And graveyard randomly not working for AI

Fixed it

[jmizzle7]

[03:27:20] zanzarino: Yes i also added game time and turns

jmdt just cried tears of joy.

[EvaRia]

[03:27:20] zanzarino: Yes i also added game time and turns

jmdt just cried tears of joy.

I thought all the people in testing in the ttw thread use third-party programs to get stats.

It will help other people more for the preliminary testing than jmdt and co.

I'm happy, I always lose track of what turn it is
Absentmindedness ftw.

And third party programs, wasn't there something about those in the rules?
Don't wanna risk bans...

[Mastermind79]

The screen also dims and says, "You Lost" [Details] [Main Menu] upon loss.

1.26 is awesome.

EDIT: Picture added.


I'm gonna test loss by damage next.

EDIT:


You can still see the last card, which should mean no more completely unknown fire bolt etc kills.

I will cross-post this in the Elements 1.26 thread.

Of course it also helps in story telling and bug catching, and probably other as yet to be found ways.

[teffy]

Nice addition.

Small bugs:

- spelling mistake: "game lenght".
- The game time is saved. If you lose, the correct time is shown. If you win more than one game in a row, you always see the same time (e.g. 40 seconds in every game you win in a row).

Edit: fixed.

[jmdt]

[03:27:20] zanzarino: Yes i also added game time and turns

jmdt just cried tears of joy.

Maybe I'll start believing the stats that other folk send my way now, lol  .  Prolly not, but there were a number of ways people calculated turns, and only 1 was correct.  Always great to see a random idea of mine added to the game.

[Memorystick]

[06:44:06] zanzarino: I decided to go a different way for the new cards in 1.26
[06:44:15] zanzarino: I updated the lvl3 decks
[06:44:28] zanzarino: And added the new cards here and there
[06:44:49] zanzarino: That will be the only way to get the new cards for a day or two
[06:46:07] zanzarino: Yes I'll put those in the bazaar soon... but in teh while i'll let the community have some fun finding them and
[06:46:11] zanzarino: panicking a little
[06:46:39] zanzarino: New AI3 should be online about.... now!
[06:52:04] Dragoon1140: Also, Zanz, are you fixing the "Playing after game ends" bug
[06:52:05] Dragoon1140: ?*
[06:52:40] zanzarino: It shuold be fixed already
[06:53:10] Dragoon1140: Cool cool.
[06:53:16] zanzarino: You mean the spacebar thing from the "you lost" screen?
[06:53:35] zanzarino: yep, should be fixed

EDIT:
[06:58:44] zanzarino: Yes the old ones really really needed a revamp
[06:59:23] Dragoon1140: By the way Zanz, if you want a revamp on a FG, replacing Precogs with Catapults for Osiris wouldn't be a bad idea.
[06:59:53] zanzarino: Yes osiris really need a couple of catapults
[07:00:12] zanzarino: The AI is not very good at using those but it still helps

EDIT2:
[07:05:03] zanzarino: Most AI3 decks cam from here:
[07:05:04] zanzarino: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,10881.0.html
[07:06:21] zanzarino: And I forgot to add silence!
[07:06:35] zanzarino: I am going to add silence to the aether one
[07:07:02] zanzarino: It will take me a minute or two
[07:09:37] zanzarino: Ok, now we also have silence
[07:10:08] zanzarino: But just for the main site... too much work to add it to kong as well

EDIT3:
[07:33:23] Memorystick: oh crap >_>' zanz, can we have a way for the code to change the matk too ^^'
[07:34:02] Memorystick: mark**
[07:34:05] zanzarino: matk?
[07:34:21] zanzarino: ohhhh yes that will be done too... sooner or later

EDIT4:
While this wasn't from zanz, it could be useful...
