Our Own WOL?

[Gobalopper]

Well Olaf allowed custom games because originally we thought QM didn't work but if it does its easy to switch that off again. But I don't think the QM matcher is very good right now so it might be best to stay with custom until we can get that changed.

btw, anyone in the Netherlands have a copy of Emperor they can lend to Olaf for a few weeks?

[god2ghz]

i like it the way it is because we can choose the way we want to play we should just tell people that it is a ladder game and if they dont want to play it they can leave that is the way i think we should keep it

[DjCiD]

It's not possible for three Ladders is it? One for the QMs, DMs, and BCs.

I don't think it would be fair to group all the DMs with ppl that are only playing QM sets.

It's a shame WW turned off the Clan Manager cause thats all the DM games are really... I liked the QM since it would pick a random map and it was on set sets.

Me and Zamb didn't have a problem getting matched up. We were in a room and said he lets go to QM and we matched up in less than 2 seconds I fell out my chair cause I didn't think it would still work. ;D

[Gobalopper]

We might be able to turn custom into some sort of battle clan ladder but controlling who is in which clan would have to be done on our own server...

hey hey im rank 17 i beat acelethal although i also beat many more... >:(

[DjCiD]

If RA2 clan manager is still working why can't we get Emp turned back on? ???

I was able to create a clan through the RA2 clan manager hoping it would show up beside my name on Emp since your WOL names can be used on other WOL games. Didn't work... but if I ever buy RA2 I have a clan ;D

[Duncan_ghola]

this program is unconstant i win good victories over good players but i have ntohing to show for it? why doesnt it work

[zamboe]

Good news and bad news.

Djcid and me were on wol, we agree to practice some qm, using the qm match up option, we go there at the same time, to my sourprise I got matched up with 2 guys 3 times, I mean with one guy 2 times and one time with other, I was like, wow, there is people now playing it again, great, that's the good news.

Bad news is that both of them ducked me 3 times, lol, finally I got matched up with djcid and we could play good games.

Well, nothing is perfect ....

[graveside]

none of my games seem to get recorded aswell i managed to get one vs icecubes but the others dont show up.

i got ducked in qm yesterday aswell

[Ice_Cube]

It probably recorded because I was running the program. Are you sure you have the latest version?

[ken124578]

I hate it when people record my games, i don't want to be involved with FOL or its ladder.

[Ice_Cube]

hmm, I don't really care about the ladder as I am not good enough (apart from the fact that it might mean more eplayers on-line). I just wanna play people and get better....

[graveside]

yeah i gots the latest version, u asked me that yesterday

[Harkdawg]

well it still aint working for me.

Oh and that 127.0.0.1 games2.westwood.com it aint in my host file. I had to take the Read Only off so that i could modify it, now the line is there imma give it another try as soon as i get chance.

Oh and something else. Do i understand correctly that if 1 player has the program open and the other doesnt, the game will be recorded and sent to ladder?

If so then, maybe i dont want to play atm but the other player i playin agaisnt has the proxy open, so basically it got recorded even when i didnt want to play a ladder game.

Wich brings me to my other question, lets say im playing on ladder using Harkdawg nick, now i log Hark off and come back to play some nice non ladder games with other nick, but since maybe my opponent has a proxy running and my other nick gets sent to ladder also, thus im having 2 nicks on ladder eventho i didnt want to - and so will i be a cheater????

[Gobalopper]

Keep in mind that we are still testing this out guys there are bound to still be some problems.

We could always make it a requirement that both players need to have the program running for the game to count.

[Gobalopper]

Olaf has sent me a new version of XCL_Proxy that will send the results to this server. I hope to have something working tonight so we can test it out. This will give us more control over the ladder and be able to set out rules like both people must have the program running, how long games have to be, starting cash etc.

[DjCiD]

What about using QM? will there be two seperate ladders or whatnot? Whos palm do we have to grease or child to kidnap to get clan manager back up ... ???

[Gobalopper]

Well since we would be able to check most of the game variables it should be possible to only allow games that use those rules to be added to the ladder.

As for BC games we could possibly create our own clan manager but it would take a bit of work.

[DjCiD]

I am willing to help in any way. Would there still be a [TAG] to affect our names on WOL? or would it be more like a list of this person and this person in a clan and these guys are in a clan... ???

[god2ghz]

good luck on getting the clan manager fixed i hope it appens that way we can finally be able to establish or nicks into a clan

[XTF]

Is chat enabled on the servers?

[Harkdawg]

Chat is disabled in channels, u can talk only by pageing or in stageing room or in game.

[Scy]

i had few problems with "XCL Proxy", in some games i can't deploy my mcv,when i press tab the diplomacy box doesn't shown till i closed the program!?? any help

[Gobalopper]

I don't think the program would cause those problems.
