------------------- Change Log of XTA 9.738 Svn 661 'I'm Still Looking'
------------------ by Jools

- Core Pillager is now transportable by air
- Added mod option to allow transportation of hovercrafts (key: mo_transporthover 0|1).

- Relay awards to replays.springrts.com

Am i seeing things, or...

Does that solar clip into ground? And the fac in background hovers 10 elmo above earth?

[Jools]

I'm not sure. Maybe those things are built on water. You know, there is the shadows on sea bottom instead of surface glitch in the engine. Or ir may also be that those things are really build into ground.

I don't know what xta version that image is from: we need more commander looking at things images...

Well, the original caption of image was "looking at a bug"

Writing here for reference:

We had some lag in a recent game with not so many units. I think it could be something with the nukes, maybe the minimap X causing it. When I shut them off the lag appeared to disappear.

[21:30:16] <[PRO]Jools> we had a game yesterday with motion and rabard, there was monstruous lag
[21:30:20] <[PRO]Jools> then it just went away
[21:30:32] <[PRO]Jools> we didnt have a lot of units really
[21:30:50] <[PRO]Jools> i think it's tied to something with mininukes
[21:31:02] <[PRO]Jools> i had 8 of them line attacking rabarb
[21:31:12] <[PRO]Jools> fps was like 0.2
[21:31:21] <[PRO]Jools> after i cancelled order fps was about 50
[21:31:52] <[PRO]Jools> could be minimapX, dynamicLights or maybe customFormations2
[21:33:41] <[PRO]Jools> if it says "packet limit reached for Jools" or something similar
[21:33:58] <[PRO]Jools> does that indicated synced->unsynced communication is the problem?


And an old bug: when player resigns when gamemode is not commander ends you have to kill his stuff before game ends. I think that bug must have always been present.
