[19-Sep-2006] Live chat, auto-attack, and more

[MeDeFe]

good work, there's only one thing I don't like (please redirect any flame to the flame boards I don't visit anyway). The new dice take about 1/10th of a second to load and thus slow me down. And now you have to check which dice are glowing yellow insted of just keeping your eyes on that line where it told you which country lost how much. Maybe I'm being sentimental, but I liked the old (AND random) dices better.

Otherwise it's a great update.

Almost all of these updates were thinks that I'd previously though "Gee, I wish..." about.

But I have to agree with cletus and MeDeFe; I find the dice a bit disturbing. I liked being able to see right above the attack dialog how many armies I had lost or destroyed just as a digit. Also, the page sort of "hops" every time you click attack now. It's enough to give a person a seizure. Is it possibile to make it so that a player can choose between "dice view" and "I'm-too-lazy-to-move-my-eyes-to-the-right plain-digit view"?

I also noticed that my cards are listed in the dice "box" as well as where they used to be. Is there a reason the cards are listed twice?

firstly well done!!!!
Noted your edit at the bottom - have refreshed several times but no joy in getting rid of the black dots - any suggestions?

[martijn]

Awsome dude!

[wcaclimbing]

i have a problem with gabbly
is there any way to stop people from making copies of themselves and impersonating others? its really annoying

[Twill]

lusi, read the "greasmonkey 0.5" post in the general forum

wcaclimbing, not until the next version of the chat comes out...we know it's annoying, we are working on a fix

[Bugsy]

Anyway to turn of the new dice?

I liked the auto-attacking though.

[qeee1]

Hmm...

I don't like the new dice, I prefered it when I just read attacker loses 2 or whatever.

And the logout link shouldn't be like that.

Everything else, very nice, particularly the smileys

If anyone has problems, take these steps:

1. Hit refresh (F5) on the screen that looks funny.
2. If you are using Tr0y's greasemonkey script, update to version beta .5

I am going to make the dice a bit less obstrusive (smaller and shifted to the left) in the next day or two.

Also, I've noticed that massive auto-attacks can slow down the website. I'll be coming out with a fix for that as well.

Good job, loving the updates. Adds more polish to the game.

banning Icee?

[lilwdlnddude]

love the updates

[cowshrptrn]

i tihnk the dice are great, but they keep on appearing waay off to the side, so i have to scroll to see the outcomes. Also, i find it easier to have the won and lost armies spelled out for you...

but in general i tihnk its a great update!

[retrochuckrio42]

after defeating a player and gaining their cards, have you disabled the ability for us to cash them in? i was in my turn today when that happened.

[casper]

you have to have 5 or more cards to do that.

[retrochuckrio42]

ahh, haha, didn't know that. thanks!

[boogiesadda]

Auto Attack is the best thing ever invented love the easy access too! great job

[PaperPlunger]

2. If you are using Tr0y's greasemonkey script, update to version beta .5

why has the number of people logged on to cc suddenly shot up so much?

Session improvements

Sessions are extended to 1 hour before they expire. I also synchronized the main website session and forum session so you'll never find yourself logged into one but not the other. A nice benefit from this is that the Who is Online section of the forum is now accurate (before it was missing people and had a bunch of bogus guests)

[Coug]

I'm new to the forum.

I noticed after the new update, Firefox doesn't have the status images to show whose turn it is and if there are players currently playing.

[w3a2]

it didn't for me at first but does now.
