-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a resume of yours frequently asked questions, hope this will be helpful:
Question (Q.)
1) What do you mean with :- "Save the demo of your last of 2/3 turns. (Look at the FAQ How can I get my demo?) "?
Answer (A.)
1) To win you must win 2 OUT OF 3 rounds. To prove you won the game, you need to post the last match you played with your opponent.
EG. wolfmarc vs Dj.LisT
1) Dj.LisT won
2) Dj.LisT won
In this case Dj.LisT will post the Demo of the 2) match!
EG. wolfmarc vs Dj.LisT
1) wolfmarc won
2) Dj.LisT won
3) wolfmarc won
In that case I will post the Demo of the 3) match!
Q.
2) Is this tournament restricted to Pro. players?
A.
2)NO, This tournament is OPEN to all the people desire to join, doesn't matter if you are Pro or n00b, there won't be differences from the playes. More people will join this tournament more happy we will be. What are you waiting for? sign up !! … aw right we got to wait until October 2nd , was forgetting this
Q.
3) what map are we playing in?
A.
3)Ropes map, with borders. your teams composed of 4 hedgehogs each, don't forget to refresh the map every match you play.
Q.
4)How about disabling teleport as well?
A.
4) First of all be sure to remove from the weapon set the following weapons: Hellish hand-grenade, Ballgun and Watermelon bomb. Teleport must not be taken off, in this way it will be the same as regular shoppa. As claymore wrote, you can start your turn by pressing f9 then f8 to be sure you select the rope.
LAN server
Hey guys,
I run a small to medium size LAN event, I'd love to get a Hedgewars tournament going at my event.
The only problem is there is NO internet access.
I've tried playing around with the various options trying to get a working LAN lobby going, but with no success. I can get the server to run, but it does not broadcast to the lan/clients, or the clients dident look for a server. Does anyone have a "guide" or any tips on how to setup a LAN lobby?
Cheers guys,
- Castiana
Mines???
Ok I've noticed as i play on the server that people seem to use a lot of deployable mines. If you use them, why???? My argument is that grenades are just as powerful, but they are usually unlimited and you can even set a timer. Just wondering... maybe mines should be a bit stronger than grenades or something... or if their power varied that would be cool
What IDE do you use to program in pascal
I've looked through the forum but didn't find any mention to what IDE the developers use to edit the pascal code. Does anyone know or could suggest some good IDEs (preferably for ubuntu)?
Hedgewars Wikipedia - outdated - help needed
Ok, I'm sure a few of you already noticed the Hedgewars Wikipedia page is kind of... outdated to say the least.
And before anything else I'd like to take this opportunity to ask anyone with Wikipedia documentation editing experience and very fluent in English to please update such an important page if they have the chance and will to do so.
Here are some suggestions of things that could be updated:
- The first 2 sentences make reference to both Wormux and Worms, this really makes Hedgewars sound like "just one more clone". It needs a way better start, pointing good things about Hedgewars like how clean and crisp the visuals are while keeping a consistent visual instead of comparing it.
- Swap the illustrating image available (which is from an old version) with a new, maybe of the Desert theme (this one is very colorful and will surely grab more attention) with 3 or 4 teams, all with different non-country flags @ 1024x768 or close (1024x600, 1280x800 or 1366x768 will also do) resolution. - Feel free to submit your images here! Everyone can participate!
- A Hedgewars release history wouldn't hurt and it would kind of serve as proof that the game is still being actively developed! (think this is already available in a non-english language.
- More references to the weapons that only Hedgewars have and how cool they are, as the current "weapons" part only mentions the "look-alike weapons" you also find in other look-alike games.
- Mention all the different themes and hats!
- Mention the online cross-platform capabilities more!
- Reference to the inclusion of the new Portal Gun in the upcoming .14 version as a tribute to the awesome Portal game!
- Recycle and update the "Reference" links available, at least one doesn't work, and some are way too outdated or just not very relevant.
Thank you for your attention.
