Need Beta tester!

[FML|Renaud]

I made a little web rts, it's still missing a lot of features I wanted, but it's good enough.  What I need now, is help on how to improve it!  So anything from balance, to color choice, something being too big (that's what she said!!), too small, sound volume, pathing, suggestion, bugs, etc... is appreciate!

Currently i'm going to work on the pathing, because... well it's easier if you just go and see 

PS: Usually this would go in off-topic BUT THERE IS NO OFF TOPIC SECTION!!!

Edit: and it colors the images as needed, so if you pick the same team color, the loading will be faster the 2nd time

On the opening page the gold lettering "Description" "Victory Condition" "Team Color" "Enemy Color" is hard to read and does not stand out.

Seems like your recreated Warcraft 1.

Things are built fast while golding mining is really slow.

Pathing doesn't work well.  If the shortest path is blocked...unit will stand still and do nothing (when trying to building something on the shortest path)

When you start building something and the building is underattack... it damages both the building and the peon inside.

Just gonna go through and edit this post as I play.

The first mission has a typo:

"Leave you in charge or troupes?"

Actually, all mission descriptions have typos or poor grammar. Did you write this all up yourself? o.O

The hotkeys are all kind of terrible, very very difficult to get used to the building hotkeys, as opposed to the simple "B + whatever"

Buildings/troops train insanely fast in comparison to gold which is mined incredibly slow.

You only need 3 workers per gold mine?

I really like the music  Where did you get it from?

The first intro mission you were able to create more different types of buildings then the next one.

It's hard to scroll across the screen, because your mouse will go outside the browser and the "game", it would be nice to somehow make the game fullscreen to eliminate this issue.

Sometimes units move in an erratic behavior, like they are spazzing out. Usually happens if you spam click them to go somewhere or they are walking alongside a building/other units.

As soon as I encountered the first enemy units, my computer "lagged out" for like 15-20 seconds during the entire battle, then everything suddenly caught back up. Not sure if it's just a problem with me.

Yeah it happened again, whenever I go into a battle everything just stops, I can see the battle animations but I can't scroll the screen and the battle sounds just stop until the catch up after everything is dead. Guess that's a game stopper for me. Not sure why it's happening

ty for the feedback

You don't use QWER ASDF ZXCV hotkeys?! How do you manage!
the music is by WaterFlame http://waterflame.newgrounds.com/
Really not sure about the spazing/stopping, unless it's the game taking to much memory?

Ill try to look into all those things! (problem with fullscreen is that it disables the hotkeys :( but there must be away around it!!!!)

Oh and i just noticed, i wrote Color instead of Colour!!!

[DarKNeSSCaLLs]

The spazzing you can see on your own, just walk a worker vertically, you'll see his animation is all messed up

[FML|Renaud]

ok, i fixed most of the problem (pathing is only slightly better), but i can't reproduce the spazzing/messed up animation

So i'm wondering, 1) does your cpu have multiple core? 2) does your graphic card have a gpu?

[DarKNeSSCaLLs]

I will try it again when I get home from work.

Please also tell me how to obtain info on what GPU my graphics card is, I'm not very comp savvy. I do know that I have a dual core.

[FML|Renaud]

Darn, was hoping it was single core :(


in xp
start > run > (type dxdiag) > Display Tab > Approx. Total Memory

in vista/7
start > (type dxdiag) > Display Tab > Approx. Total Memory

edit: for normal hotkeys, you have to go in options
edit 2: wow... i just tried to play the missions honestly for the first time, getting raped at #3, and it does slow down quite a bit to have 50 unit killing each other T_T, but i still dont get the jittering

[DarKNeSSCaLLs]

256 MB

Yeah when I move workers vertically they keep shifting direction in their animation. Not sure whats causing it. Not sure how I can take a video of it to describe to you

[FML|Renaud]

Hahaha!! I finally found/fixed the problem!!!!!
I figured you computer was too slow, but its the freaking opposite it was too fast!
(now the sad part is that I was able to reproduce/fix the problem on my mom's computer... since when is her pc better than mine!!!! i must have to many shit running at once? T_T)

[DarKNeSSCaLLs]

My computer is like 5+ years old and has XP, it's too fast? Really?
