Beta 49

Everything since the published Beta 47 · 17 entries

Loading screen

New loading screen, using the full width of the screen

It used to sit in a 4:3 box with black bars - that box is the standard loading screen model, which every map spans at 4:3
The model was widened to 16:9 at the same height and centre, and the colours are right as well

Shuffle - your side

Your town comes with you

Builder, workers, hall, achievement building and barracks moved to the new lane, but the town stayed behind in the old one
It is rebuilt rather than dragged, so shared resources and the worker rally keep working

Your barracks come with you

Both barracks and the buildings a mode unhides later now change hands with the lane
They keep standing where they are, because the mode triggers address them directly - a rebuilt one would leave those pointing at nothing

Hall and achievement building are back on the right side of the town

Their start positions come from two markers that are consumed at game start, so after a swap a rough fallback rule placed them on the wrong side
The positions are now remembered per lane and reused

Your workers go back to work

After the swap they were set down at the new base but kept standing; they now get the harvest order for the trees of their new lane

Lane players stay on lane, mid players stay mid

A mid player could be thrown onto a lane, which is not what you loaded in for
The swap only pairs slots of the same role, and the team search only considers splits that can be built that way

The hall row under the Discord sign follows the new teams

That row is built three seconds into the game, long before the swap, and was ordered by slot number

Shuffle - your king

Your units go to your own king

The warp in round 36 sorted units by the slot number of their owner, and groups 1-4 go to the left king, 5-8 to the right
A swapped player keeps his slot number but changes lane, so his units ran to the king of his old side

You can control your own king after a swap

Control over the king comes from being in the same team as the king player, and the swap never moved anyone between teams
Swapped players were left holding the enemy king, creeps stopped attacking and the game could stall

Teams, win condition and "team has left" follow the new lanes

Which king a unit belongs to, who won, and whether a whole team is gone are all decided through alliances - those now follow the lane after a swap

Shuffle - the vote

Every vote is announced, and clicks are no longer dropped

With several dialogs open the game does not reliably report which button was pressed, so votes were silently discarded - three players voting yes could end up as a single vote
You can also type -yes or -no, which does not depend on the dialog at all

The vote runs 15 seconds and closes as soon as everyone has clicked

At five seconds the window was so short that the first click often landed right before the timer closed it for everyone
The closing message now says whether everyone voted or the time ran out

Nothing can be done while the vote runs

Units are frozen, and the game is released afterwards even if something goes wrong on the way
The minimap no longer sits shifted after the vote

New accounts no longer pull the teams apart

Players with fewer than 10 ranked games count as 900 rating while the teams are balanced, instead of the 1000 they start at
Only the shuffle uses this value - your real rating, the ladder and the booking are untouched

Ranked

Leaving no longer saves a win streak

The streak was only ever written for players still in the game, so a leaver kept his run and could protect it by leaving a lost game
Your best streak record stays, and a leave does not create a loss streak

Beta 47c

7 entries

Loading screen

The loading screen is in and uses the full width of the screen

It sat in a 4:3 box with black bars left and right - that box is the standard loading screen model, which spans a 4:3 rectangle in every map
The model was widened to 16:9 at the same height and the same centre, so the picture now reaches the edges
The colours are right as well; the tiles had been written with inverted samples and showed as a negative

Shuffle

Your town comes with you

Builder, workers, hall, achievement building and barracks already moved to the new lane, but the town stayed behind in the old one
It is moved rather than rebuilt, so shared resources keep working

Lane players stay on lane, mid players stay mid

A mid player could be thrown onto a lane, which is not what you loaded in for
The swap now only pairs slots of the same role, and the team search only considers splits that can actually be built that way

You get your vote back

After clicking you now see what you voted and how many have voted so far

The vote no longer runs the full 7 seconds

It closes as soon as the last player has clicked
The message now says that the swap happens when the mode starts, so you know what you are waiting for

New accounts no longer pull the teams apart

Players with fewer than 10 ranked games count as 900 rating while the teams are balanced
A fresh account sat at the 1000 starting rating and looked as strong as an established player
Only the shuffle uses this value - your real rating, the ladder and the booking are untouched

Ranked

Leaving no longer saves a win streak

The streak was only ever written for players still in the game, so a leaver kept his run and could protect it by leaving a lost game
It now ends with the leave
Your best streak record stays, and a leave does not create a loss streak

Beta 47

16 entries

Fixes

-troll works again

It only ever checked one unit handle, so after a repick, a random builder or the race picker it silently did nothing
It now checks the builder type, so it catches whichever builder you are actually walking with
Building is still allowed and finished units stay where they are - only movement is restricted

The Elo readout matches the ladder you are actually on

In 1v1 and PvP the balance line showed your MAIN rating while the game booked on the 1v1 or PvP rating
That is why a shown 70-30 could pay out 15 Elo - the two numbers came from different ratings
The line now says [1v1 Elo], [PvP Elo], [Double Build Elo] or [Elo] and uses that rating; -elo does the same

Your win is saved the moment the last opponent leaves

Until now nothing was booked until a king died, so you had to kill the king to get your Elo and your win
From round 3 on it is booked immediately; the rest of the game then counts as a test game
The round 3 limit is deliberate so remakes cannot be abused

Starfeather has its model back

The model file had been truncated to 1 byte and dropped from the import list
Only the variant whose texture paths point inside the map renders - that one is back

Marrow Leech really goes to 500

The aura already scaled that far, but -bone and the tooltip still said 100
The reported damage also stopped at 100, so it under-reported above 1000 Bone Points

The 200 achievement models are ordered by value again

The list had fallen out of order in 52 places, worst between 700 and 900 gold
They now rise strictly by total unit value; the point thresholds are unchanged
The Retards were taken out of that list

New loading screen

Balance

Unholy T2 archers: poison no longer slows attack speed on the lower two

Forsaken Archer and Forsaken DarkRanger lose the attack speed part, Silvana keeps it
Only movement slow was ever intended - the attack speed part came through by accident
Poison damage is unchanged everywhere

Unholy T1 attack speed

Goddess of War - Dual Sword attacks 20% faster
Goddess of War - Long Sword attacks 8% slower

Holy T4 U2 Templar: Oath Of Protection cools down faster

10 seconds down to 8; duration and mana cost unchanged

Demon T2 U3: the Dark Spellbook summon brings one unit instead of two

The random spellbook spawned two Damned Soul fighters at once, which was too strong on mass
The other spellbook effects and the odds are unchanged

Darth Revan is immune to stuns and slows of every kind

He already had magic immunity, but most slows in this map ride on attacks and ignore it

Uneven teams weaken the bigger team's sends

10% less life and damage per extra player: 4v3 is -10%, 4v2 -20%, 4v1 -30%, 3v2 -10%
The smaller team is never weakened
Full strength returns the moment the teams are even again

Behind the scenes

The library sync runs by itself

30 seconds after the start, -merge still works by hand

Admin list extended

samoDotovi and kNeLe added

-version shows Beta 47

Beta 46b

1 entries

Profile

Classical Hybrid counts as its own race

It used to share a slot, so games on it did not show up separately in the profile
It is now race 18 with its own name, wins, best wave and best income
The profile checksum still covers the first 17 races, so profiles written by an older version keep loading

Beta 46

3 entries

Performance

The lag from wave 10 onwards is gone

At the end of every round the profile text was rebuilt on every machine for every player
Each of those builds allocated thousands of strings that Warcraft never frees during a game
The text is now built only on the machine of the player it belongs to
Level and achievements are still updated for everyone, nothing is lost

Admins

Admin list extended

Everyone who was an admin stays one, the current Top 50 was added

Ranking

Rank glow updated to the current Top 10

Beta 45c

1 entries

Nothing to report

Same build as 45b, only the version label changed

Comparing the two published archives shows no difference beyond the version strings

Beta 45b

9 entries

Unholy - Archers

Killing Blow finishes the target off for real

It used to drop a creep to 1 life and leave it walking, which made the whole skill pointless
The poisoned target now dies the moment it falls to the threshold
The gold and the kill go to the archer that poisoned it
Thresholds are 8% for Forsaken Archer, 12% for Dark Ranger, 18% for Silvana
The tooltips state those numbers now - two of them were promising more than the game did

Arrows fly faster from the first upgrade on

Projectile speed used to drop with every upgrade instead of rising
Dark Ranger 1800 to 3000, Silvana 1700 to 7000, Forsaken Archer unchanged

Silvana is back to her old strength

Damage 108 back to 98 and attack speed 0.33 back to 0.42
She had been quietly buffed on both at once

Tower and fighter now share the same attack speed

All three archers showed one speed on the tower and fought with another

Unholy - Tier 7

The feed ability works again

Consume had been removed from Smaug and Deathwing together with its whole trigger
Outside a round they can eat one of your own towers again and inherit its skill
Prime Matron, Silvana, Lilith, Blood Queen Lana'Thel, Lich King and Arja can be eaten, each type once
Prime Matron also grants 20% more maximum life
Restored exactly as it was, not rebuilt

Unholy - Tier 4

Self stun lasts longer

0.4 seconds up to 0.6, so it is actually noticeable

Shadow

Marrow Leech is no longer capped at 100 damage

The aura stopped scaling at 1000 Bone Points
It now keeps rising up to 5000 Bone Points, which is 500 damage per second
The rate is unchanged: 10 Bone Points are 1 damage per second

Behind the scenes

Games are counted properly now

Each match gets an identifier that every participant records
The website can count real matches instead of adding up everyone's game counters
Nothing about this is visible in game

-version shows Beta 45b

Beta 45

11 entries

Download

The map is 34 MB smaller: 119 MB down to 85 MB

449 imported files were removed that no unit and no script used any more
The Creature race was never playable - it cannot be picked, drafted or randomed - so its models are gone too
Everything still in use was checked against the object data, the script and the models themselves

Game end

The end of a game no longer stops halfway through

When the king died the game sometimes showed nothing at all - no pause, no victory screen, no end boards
Stats, Elo and achievements were saved correctly, only the display never ran
Every player's bookkeeping now runs on its own and can no longer take the victory sequence down with it

Leaves

Every leave counter was reset once, for everybody

Your old leaves are not deleted, they moved into an archive counter and are shown in the Hall
They no longer count against your win rate or your reliability score
A restore from an older library entry can no longer raise your leave count again

1v1

1v1 games have their own ladder

Until now a 1v1 counted as a full ranked game and went into the same rating as a 4v4
A 1v1 now has its own rating and its own win/loss record, starting at 1000
XP, level and special achievements count as usual, so playing 1v1 still moves your profile
Income, hold, MVP, workers and all your records stay untouched by 1v1 games
-elo shows the rating, the Hall has a row for it

Computer players

The AI now plays in every mode combination

The AI mode is gone. Computer players were being removed from the game whenever it was not set
That is why the AI 'did not build' with some mode combinations - it was never there to begin with
A computer slot now always plays, no matter which modes are picked

Shadow

Marrow Leech was stuck at 1 damage

The aura read the bone points of the wrong owner, so it always landed on level 1
It scales with your Bone Points again: 10 points are 1 damage per second, up to 100
New command -bone shows your current Bone Points and the damage the aura is dealing

Night Elf

Starfall stopped working on level 5

The spell had no area of effect value for that one level, so it hit nothing
Filled in, the series now runs 800 / 825 / 850 / 875 / 900 / 925 and up

Nature

Ancient Sylvan is back to its original design

Three damage auras with 500 range had been added to it that were never part of the unit
What is left is the old pair: the damage aura affects the Sylvan itself only, and the team aura gives movement speed and life regeneration within 600 range
The life regeneration had no value on levels 2 and 3, so it only ever worked on the last level. It now rises 0 / 3 / 6 / 10 per second
Its buff no longer collides with Monkey God and Megazord
A form that has been alive for more than 100 seconds is reborn as form 1, and every rebirth restarts that timer
The tooltips state the real numbers now, and -sylvan shows your current state

Orc

Garrosh - Shockwave

Cooldown back to its old value of 0.85
Damage reduced by 10 percent

Profile

Win streak and loss streak

Your longest win streak and longest loss streak are stored in your profile and shown in the Hall records page
They only count in ranked main games - 1v1, PvP and Double Build leave them alone

-version shows Beta 45

Beta 44b

5 entries

Fixes

Profiles could lose their stats - fixed

Two profile lines had grown longer than what Warcraft writes into a file, so the line was cut off in the middle
The favourite units moved into their own lines, the special counters as well
Every line is now measured before it is written, nothing can be cut off again
Your profile is now saved a second time as a backup file once per game

The admin library now stores everything

Race MVPs, 0 leak stages, kraken sends, boss specials, the PvP ladder and your favourite units were never part of the library
A restore rebuilt everything except those, so the badges built on them were lost
The library carries all of it now - a restore keeps your badges

Balance - Shadow

Marrow Leech now grows with your skeletons instead of the wave number

Damage per second is Bone Points divided by 10, the old 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 per wave bracket is gone
Bone Points: Bone Warrior 1, Skeletor, Fire Archer and Dark Mage 10, Dead Eye and Skull Splitter 50, Kel'Thuzad 100, Skeletoro 550
That is roughly 1 damage per 100 gold of skeleton value, capped at 100
Wave 11 with only the three base skeletons is 3 damage instead of 8
The small Bone Warrior carries the aura now as well
The requirement is unchanged: one unit from each of the three skeleton tiers

Interface

Rank glow fixed

The glow sat below the ground and could only be seen when running up a cliff, it sits on the unit now
Rank 4-10 is red - everybody used to glow gold
The builder keeps his glow after picking a race

Balance - Mech

Rebel Scum is now called Elite Veteran (upgrade of Veteran)

1,950 HP (was 1,350)
127 damage (was 115)
Melee now: 90 range instead of 500
New model: Elector Count

Balance - Blood Elf

Mana now equals the unit's total value (all gold spent on the line), not only its own upgrade cost

Base units keep their value: Loranar 25, Theronil 50, Aelor 95, Zaldor 190, Elandir 290, Ael'thal 460
Anasterian stays at 2,500

Tier 4 line has a flat 250 mana

Valerius 125 -> 250 - he can cast Arcane Spark (250 mana) again
Myriel stays at 250, Silandor 380 -> 250

Anasterian - True Leader cooldown 30 -> 60 s

Anasterian - True Leader is now visible

Battle roar on Anasterian and a floating text with the number of units it reached
Every unit it reaches shows a red burst over its head

Bonus Survival

New first bonus wave: Soggodon and the Iron Giants

In the first bonus round every lane gets 1 Soggodon + 3 Iron Giants of each kind instead of the Old Leviathan
Soggodon: 38,500 HP, 50 armor, 1,000-1,500 chaos damage every 2.0 s

Lord Vader joins the bonus survival after round 7

75,000 HP, 2,696-3,110 chaos damage, cooldown 0.85 s, range 120, armor 29
Mana Shield: 10,000 mana, absorbs 70% of incoming damage at 1 mana per hit point

Darth Revan still comes after round 10

Achievements & Profile

New special achievements: Kill Darth Maul, Kill Darth Vader, Kill Darth Revan, Kill the Ancient Leviathan

Maul and Vader: the player who lands the killing blow gets it
Darth Revan and the Ancient Leviathan: the whole team that kills it gets it
Each one is worth a mastery point - 19 special achievements in total

Your profile is saved to the library automatically from level 10 on

Achievements now only unlock in ranked games

No more unlocks in debug, FUN, PvP, draw or duo games

Bonus rounds raise your best wave by one each

Surviving the first bonus round now counts as wave 37, the second as 38 and so on
Before, the first one still read as 36

Hall record 'Workers' shows your average at game end

Your all-time best is still listed next to it

Hall page 4 lists your top 20 favorite units

It used to show only the top 3
Score counts damage, kills and healing of that unit across all games

Hall: the badge page is gone, a Duo/PvP page came in - the Hall has 6 pages

Page 5 also shows level, XP, Elo, W/L, best wave, best income, workers and badges
Page 6 lists the ranked, Double Build and PvP ladders plus practice, debug and leaves

Achievement points and a growing circle model

Points = race badges + global achievements x8 + special achievements x18, 2003 at most
The -ach overview shows them under Total earned
Your achievement circle takes the model of one of 200 fighters sorted by total gold value
Every 10 points, so every 0.5 percent, the model steps up: from a 20 gold Ent to THE MOUNTAIN at 8,420

Winrate score now weighs how hard your lobbies were

Every counted game stores the Elo prediction for your own team, so you get an average predicted win chance
The score is winrate x 1.5 x factor: nothing is taken away for easy lobbies, the harder side is rewarded - 50% predicted keeps it, 25% gives x1.5, 0% gives x2
Farming weak lobbies simply stops paying extra, playing the underdog side pays more

Special achievements repeat now

Every earn counts, also when the achievement is already unlocked
10 times turns the entry red and gives one extra mastery point
50 times turns it gold and gives another mastery point

-ach pages no longer have gaps or cut-off text

Every page wipes all cells before it draws, so nothing of the previous page can stay behind
Label columns are wider on the global, special and race pages

New PvP ladder: PvP games now have their own Elo

Starts at 1000 with its own games and wins, same formula as the Double Build ladder
PvP games stay out of the ranked ladder
-elo shows all three ratings

Get MVP and Win Games now step 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 150, 200, 1000 (was 10, 50, 300, 500, 1000)
0 Leaks until wave: 5, 10, 14, 17, 20, 23, 25, 30, 36 (was 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 36)
Send Kraken by round: 19 down to 10 (was 17 down to 10)
Reach wave and best income keep their tiers

PvP mode

Boss rounds now spawn three times as many creeps

Only boss rounds spawn in PvP (10, 20, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35), so the armies were too small

New rule: damaging the enemy King pays workers

As soon as one of your units damages the enemy King, EVERY player of your team gets +1 Worker
Once per round and team, no matter how many units get through - it used to be +1 per single unit
The Worker appears at your own Town for free and counts like a bought one - worker limit and max economy still apply

Autosend & No Saving

Autosend sends summons that fit the wave

Melee waves: Blood Orcs / Ghouls
Ranged waves (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 29, 32-36) and the slow waves 2 and 9: Bowmen / Chariots

No Saving shows its old, clear messages again

Autosend only starts switched on in duo games

In normal games it starts off - turn it on at your builder

PvP mode

Reaching the enemy King gives workers instead of gold

Every one of your units that reaches the enemy King gives +1 Worker, counted once per unit
The Worker is trained in your own Town for free, so it comes out of the Town like a bought one
A unit that reached the enemy King only pays half bounty when it dies
Boss waves are excluded - nothing is paid out there

Hand-sent summons no longer disappear

Assign_Summon ran into an endless CreateUnit loop and ate the summon

PvP can be selected in the mode window again

It used to fall back to Auto Mode
The mode is now called "pm" instead of "pv"
Auto Mode loads whenever it is ticked, also together with PvP

Still available in FUN

Race Mastery

Your race achievements count
