I don't know if this is related but i experiment quite some Timeouts accessing to the site. (repairing, marketplace, and so on)

I didn't notice the same problem on Scout hopefully.

It's not unbearable, but i encounter a freeze about 3 requests or so, and a connection error/timeout about every 10 requests or so.

I'm not the only one, Tinker told me on the lobby he also had slow access today to the site.

Edit : just got a freeze during downloading data on a scout Map.
Of course internet acces on all other sites i use is working well

This patch adds an option to strip weapons and tyres from a vehicle in the Publically Lootable box. The engine remains in the vehicle and it remains drivable (but weaponless/tyreless). The tyres and weapons appear in the loot box (the latter only if successfully removed without being destroyed)

This patch also fixes a bug with the patcher program which was incorrectly identifying 64bit Intel Macs as having PPC processors.


does stripping a car count as your turn? do you get to then take something?

my suggestion that if you chose to strip a car it should be your turn but chassis, tyres and weapons appear in your temp items not teh loot box makes MUCH more sense...

you have looted a vehicle and choose to strip it.


EDIT.... thats ridiculous.. i see it does... why cant I TAKE a car and then strip it? whats the difference (also allows you to use your mech skill not the best in the scout which seems reasonable)... stripping a car so the next player can take the good bits is ludicrous...

AND WORST OF ALL..

it will lead to the situation where people try to stay in the loot screen till everyone else has gone so they can strip and loot the cars with duff engines but good weapons.. it may make for interminable looting.

WELL DONE RULES COUNCIL... once again we see what electing morons does for thoughtful discussion on issues...

Before you go insulting the RC goat (oops, I see you already did) - they didn't define the precise fine details of how this was operating, I did. In fact the concept of it not using up your turn was indeed mentioned. Wouldn't be hard to fix.

I agree with the point that once you loot a vehicle, it should be yours to do what you want with it, so weapons should show up in your temporary area. I mean, the same thing happens if your car becomes lootable, why not cars you're working on?

I think that the chance to break the weapon when removing it is enough of a downside. Having other players be able to swipe them from you after *you* did the work of removing them doesn't seem right.

Since this latest patch, the Java lobby updates every time I log in. Is this intended? (PC version, for what that's worth.)

If you're using the .exe rather than .jar version of the lobby then yes, that will happen until you do a full download again. But it's not doing any harm.

Hello Sam,

Nice work. if you're working on the looting system, can I make a plea for a "loot all" button on a solo scout. It would shift everything to your temp area. I think it should only work if the scout was solo from the beginning (not just if everyone has left) due to the potential for people who drop connections or leave by mistake missing out.

And goat: I'm sure you weren't this incendiary when I left.

Glad you mentioned this.  I didn't know there were two versions.  I figured out how to get my horn working!

If I use the shortcut: "C:\Program Files\Darkwind\darkwindLobby.exe" then my horn doesn't work.

If I launch darkwindlobby.jar then it works.

Makes sense.
