I didn't have time to read all the comments but hopefully I can clear up some of the misconceptions.
I’ve spent a large part of my life helping to keep AoE series alive; equivalent to 5-6 years at a full-time job. I now have competing requests for time which limits what I have available. The...
When HD launched it helped more than anything to grow the community on Voobly. Players would start on HD and move over after a few weeks/months. Lots of players also played on HD too. It’s not a zero sum game.
I don’t know how DE will play out – hopefully DE will do well and they continue to...
Re: Spectator Dashboard 2 (latest 2.3)
Support is planned to able to run mods from voobly mod center with the offline patcher -- it's been requested for a long time. It's a complicated project as the mod loader is currently tightly integrated into the client.
This is great.
Suggestion: for the column names on the military view, some of the short forms such as "C Arch" and "WShips" feel messy. Possible improvements are multi-line (Cavalry<line break>Archer), rotate header text 90%, or switch from text to icons (for this view).
For the comments on...
I like the idea of a balance patch. It's highly unlikely that after 15 years there aren't any good balance changes.
The mod system on Voobly was built with balance patches in mind, to allow easy creation + distribution + easy updates for the development team and easy installation/removal for...
I don't remember the split between 1.0c vs UP before UP was default. But, I would've expected a sizable % of players had UP enabled before I made it the default. Perhaps not the majority but still a significant chunk of the players.
If barely anyone used it I don't see how I would've had the...
Hah, the survey results are interesting but not surprising. It highlights the diverse player base and how it's soooo hard to get consensus on anything!
WiC had a balance patch albeit small (IIRC). Future tournaments could mandate whatever balance desired.
It's only been relatively recently data mod support became refined enough that it was easy to experiment with balance. It used to be hard to ensure everyone in a game had the mod/patch...
This shouldn't be possible. It should look at all accounts regardless of age.
If it persists please get in touch with Taff, et. al. and we can look into fixing it.
There aren't any plans yet, I'm just seeing this. But sure we'd be happy to provide support to HappyLeaves (if requested); it would depend on what's requested. We could presumably provide hooks for UI integration, auto-launch, API for streaming the mgz file, etc.
Nice, this looks pretty sweet. I've been thinking about something like this for some time :)
Can you elaborate, what is "freezing" when you alt tab? Is it the game or spectator dashboard?
Re: Windows Mode and Win8 Compatibility Improvements (AoC et
That bug was pre-existing, with the resolution enhancements/widescreen enabled with style other than UP, changing resolution in game might not fully work. In other words, if you want to dynamically toggle resolutions while in game, I...
Re: How can i play a record game using voobly gameMod textur
Voobly's focus has historically been on multiplayer. As a reminder there is the group watch tool for replays for those launching through the lobby.
Improving the offline support for some these features is on the todo list. We added...
^ I tend to agree with this
While it would be challenging to prove either way, new AoC usage records were set at Voobly on three different days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) last week. It's exciting to see that after eight years since IGZ launched activity is still increasing.
Few thoughts:
Links to even AoE 1 MP on Voobly are removed when Voobly is the only place it’s played online AFAIK. The game's online population is dwindling and needs all the support it can get. It’s disappointing to see those that have no knowledge and empathy of the broader AoE community...
“after being flamed multiple times by Voobly casters whilst the stream is Live “
I would hope most folks have thicker skin than to hold comments of a few of the members of the community against everyone in it. Those that stream on the Voobly are no different from anyone else in the community...
With respect to the screenshot: if it helps, the context behind that screenshot is I needed to make a few changes to Voobly to support Age2HD on top of the offline mode support provided in the compatibility patch itself. Microsoft changed a few of the file paths which broke some of Voobly...
We added it as a separate server in the short term see what interest there is. If there is high interest and if we're able to solve the technical challenges we'll try to share accounts across. The current server has abysmal connection from china->usa server as in a few kb/sec, can't do much with...
