We also need a sensitivity entry in the .ini

Nice, I'd love to meddle in map editing! :D

Good news!

No time limit or victory condition yet?

-map editor- Ooo yeeaah! I have BILLIONS of ideas, and finally I can drown the whole community under my maps! :3

The day of Beta 0.37 is the day of awesomeness. Thanks Ben. You are awesome.

Can you change the color of the blocks, and possibly, the water? It would be awesome, because you could make a 'hell' level then, or an urban area.

r u guys gonna fix the server full or misconfigured problem?

My suggestion to the map editor: Paint tool, paints one single block with click, but if you hold shift+lmb, 15blocks area paints.

Not bad, Monsteri. I also like that obviously some wishes of people @forums have been listened while making this update. Sounds cool.

cool so now its gonna be like COD after people start dropping grenades when they die...how is this a good idea?!?! i guess next you will be putting in last stand and juggernaut

Eh, sub-human, how does nade picking make this game a cod, and this has nothing to do with juggernaut.

if THAT is what he meant alright then but if its anything like COD's way of doing it im gonna throw a big ol hissy fit

there should be an option in the map editor for placing blocks that cant be destroyed and nothing can be placed on them.

I don't know what you guys are thinking but you can't pick nades up... i just made it so if you've pulled the pin, but get killed, then nade will still explode after you die. It just makes sense.

The map editor is almost ready but it's still pretty clunky... I'll probably make it open source so I can continue to focus on the game and people can fix up the editor if they want.

You'll also be able able to save maps from inside the game because the client is pretty much a map editor itself.

Yeah that's what I figured it meant. Good stuff- it used to drive me insane in games where you'd have a long animation of reaching up, yanking the pin out, pulling back to throw the ticking grenade, and getting killed... with the grenade refusing to blow up just because you didn't throw it. Arrogant little sod...

Thanks again on ironsight tweaking abilities, by the way. Glad to see it. Definitely needed, too.

I'd agree with live nades detonating after death, as this is just realism. Saving maps from the game is a good thought, for the reason you specified.

Is there scope for indestructable blocks? That's one major feature that could make for some very interesting arrangements (e.g. most of a fort indestructable, and set spawn points inside). Default maps could be made, too.
Something like mapslist.txt could be included in the AoS directory for server hosters which could look like: custommap1, [random], custommap2, custommap3, [random].
The [random] indicates the current terrain generation techniques (maybe with a editable 'height' adjustment in the config) and otherwise it could follow the maplist order and change after a period of time (also set in config).

Something to mull over there.. thanks for the update!

I'll probably make it open source

Hell yeah! I love you, Ben! <3

Sweeeeet. I do have to agree with the public here on ironsight editing (hipfire editing is fine)... Sniping will be much easier and headshots will be ridiculous because people could edit the ironsight to a tiny dot...

Perhaps. But that means we will be able to snipe the snipers easily, too. I doubt that's good though... It may turn in what we call the 'Sniper Wars' in TF2. Snipers sniping snipers, and not sniping non-snipers, so that you barely help your team.

Ok i like the nade drop if pulled thing. Could we edit the Distance a little when thrown. Its like trowing a boulder at someone or thing. Not to keen on the iron-sites thing less its server side controllable.

2. Could it be to hard to add a time limit and or max intel capture to the game so you can rotate maps. Since your going to be allowing custom maps. And @theGrandmaster i like the Maplist.ini for map rotation. Reminds me of the COD days. LOL

3. Can we have trees and editable textures for this game. Id love to hide behind a tree and kill someone =) the landscape just seems to bare.

4. Yes please allow NON Destructible blocks. Would make for interesting custom maps.

Awesome, keep up the good work.
Just for curiosity... rifle damage will come back in 0.37? And, to stop griefers, do you have any plans about the "switching team during game"?
Also, I love map editors. Can't wait to create some awesome battlefield.

Hey Ben,
check out this "Google Moderator"-page. It has many suggestions and also votings.

I'm gonna go ahead and say nope to ironsight editing, just make a good one that still looks like an ironsight.

Map editing, glorious.

Also, I'd say a big priority is actually making changing the resolution useful, right now it just doesn't work.

Alright Beta 0.4 should be out in like an hour. This release is 0.04 better than v0.36.

yaay whole 0.04 !! thats 1/25 !!! impressive =D

<3

ARRRR!!! ... not to push the pressure ... but ... ARRRRRRR!!! =D
cant wait for the custom map feature =)

Edit:
damnit ben you are awesome!
not "just" a great game but also perfect timing! =D
he said 1h .. and it has been 1h!

Edit2:
getting an error ...
A more recent version of Ace of Spades is already installed on this computer.

You may need to do a full uninstall-reinstall if you have problems.

yeah i did that to solve it
i hope its an unique error ;-)

for the custom map editor:
as far as i can see its the "default" voxed you included with its annyoing Y-invert
- is there a way to disable the Y-invert ?
- can i change the maximum map size?
- can i set the spawns ?

and thanks for your work :-)

Edit:
also cant get the custom map load to work picture
including the .vxl extension leads to an infinite loop and ever repeating textwall

Can not install, installer keeps saying I have a newer version even after I uninstall.

Stuck with the "newer version" error.
