Call for beta-testers of an iOS build

I'm currently working on reviving an iOS verison of Hedgewars (once again!)

Right now I want to test a build with just an update to 1.0.0 of the engine.
Maybe more goodies to come, we'll see how it goes ;)

Requirements:

- Have a relatively modern iOS device (anything with arm64 processor will probably do)
- Have an iTunes account (needed for an invite and downloading a test build from TestFlight)
- Wilingless to actively test and report bugs :D

If it seems like a right job for you :geek: , please don't hestiate to drop me a DM with your iTunes mail :crown:

P.S. Old iOS version is still availible here https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hedgewars/id391234866 in case you wonder :bunny:

Restricting hg.hedgewars.org

We were having a lot of issues with excessive AI bot traffic. This isn't really unique to us, the entire internet has been struggling with this, and it hits small projects particularly hard. We tried range bans at first of the worst offenders (Huawei and TenCent figured prominently) but they simply shifted to residential ranges with the same rate of traffic.

I've added a user called anonhog for read access to the repo.

The password is ilovewatermelons.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

hedgewars.org technical issues

Aghh

This website and its related services are currently experiencing various issues due to a sudden loss of server infrastructure.

We'll do our best to restore full functionality as soon as we can.
Thank you for your patience

DLC issues for Hedgewars 1.0.0 on Windows

[Update 2021-12-02] Thanks to sheepluva for a manual fix to our cert, 1.0.0 direct link should work again in Windows. However, the unit22 link will not, at least for now.

One of the interesting things about Windows is that almost all distribution is similar to the "Snap/Flatpak" model - instead of distros managing packaging and updating with a single library used by hundreds of apps, all libraries have to be included by the app, with hundreds of copies of the library instead. This lack of unified package management probably explains 20GB C:\Windows\Installer folders too.

It appears the version of OpenSSL in the 1.0.0 Hedgewars is no longer functioning with DLC. This could be due to: https://scotthelme.co.uk/lets-encrypt-old-root-expiration/

As a workaround pending a new release, Windows users can access the DLC page here (it's the exact same page that is shown in client):
https://hedgewars.org/content.html

You can then download the HWPs off that page and manually copy them to your Data folder which should be My Documents/Hedgewars/Data. The icon in the lower right on the DLC page should also open this folder and should still work.

New Antarctic theme

The forum user “KIRA” recently created a beautiful new theme called “Antarctic”.

This theme has been added as optional add-on.

You can download this theme in the “Downloadable Content” section of the game.
Just click on “Downloadable Content” in the main menu, then on “Antarctic_v4”, restart Hedgewars and you should be ready to go!

Enjoy! Smile

You can give feedback in the forums.

EDIT 2020-10-09: Today, two more cool themes by Kakcoo from the year 2016 have been added as well: Doktor_v1 and Teknologi_v1. Discussion.
