0.8.0.A-4 Notes

Warmap specific
- Battle results now affect sectors
- Default action for warmap
   If no warmap action has been selected, or you have not been deployed before a battle, you will automatically defend (And deploy to that sector)
- Doctrine points are now displayed on the warmap

Launcher GUI specific
- Battle results now show after a battle
  2 phases:
  1st. Shows the battle result and gives the ability to choose Tech, Doc or Bonus points (Which boost your next warmap action, 20% per point)
  2nd. Shows the allocation of points (and in the future, the warmap cards you recieved)
- Add PMs to chat
  Left click to select a person to PM
  Left clieck a person again (anyone) or the icon beside the cursor to turn off PMs
- Added additional info to chat player info (AFK, In Battle etc)
- Ranking removed from battle display (irrelevant)

Misc
- PP is no longer gained as an individual
  PP is now dictated via the Doctrine points system of the warmap.
  PP is currently set to 500 - to emulate the rank 9 we had previously
- SP is no longer purchased
  SP is now dictated via the sector you are in, and how far from supply you are
  SP is set to 5 if you do not have Warmap access
- A lockout system has been added to allow me to patch, but disallow people from logging in
- I accidently deleted all of the Advantages, oops

cool

[Tymathee]

Hmm, how do I put this?

On one of my accounts I can't select a doc ability

its
1000
1111
1000

and

001
000
011

with advantages unlocked and i can't get the t2 doc ability

basically, 500 pp limit doesn't seem enough.

Yep.  Its not.

[Tymathee]

so, it's meant to be that way?

[8thRifleRegiment]

Im confused, only sdt can see the warmap, so why implement changes that heavily effect player-playability to those who cannt use the warmap? Unless its comming shortly. Im really liking the idea of 500maximum Pps, just not without the warmap

[Groundfire]

It's the only way to properly test it. Cant test the warmap in an isolated environment.

[8thRifleRegiment]

Ahh kk, thank you for clarification. Just a suggestion, the advantages should be reduced to the same prices of the T1,T2,T3 doctrine unlocks, so it can seem more like you have a choice between the 2.

[AmPM]

Couldn't you have 2 builds? With the test one connecting to a test environment that is exclusive to the Dev orgy?

Shouldn't be that hard to run 2 instances of a database and so forth.

[Smokaz]

Explain with 3 words why there is a "Stage" of testing where everydayguy7 can't play which aims to debug?
When something doesn't work, threads go up at the forum from the community. #eirr #stupid #inb4groundfire

I'm having to update the Launcher everytime I run the Autoupdater #hashtag

Did we forget we are still in Beta........ You are the test enviroment

More importantly - we do not have the resources to create a second environment - and frankly 2 or 3 days of bugs is not going to make the world come to an end.

[tank130]

I just increased pp to 600.

It's hard to forget EIRR is in beta, considering it'll never get out of it.

we are having the rest of the community test the rest of the launcher. the warmap can be disabled if the issues were too serious. it all needs live play practical testing

[Tymathee]

just a suggestion....a windowed mode to the Launcher. BK launcher has it, would love to have it in EIR
