Game Patches & Updates

Chat shortcuts

When Campaign #46 went live, we slipped in a little feature. I'd coded these a long time ago but never enabled them because I didn't get a chance to test them. While I was waiting on the scoring processing for today's campaign reset I decided to run my little test battery. Chat shortcuts are 5 letter codes you can type into a chat message that the server will swap out for meaningful information. Each starts with a '$' symbol followed by a four character "subtitution name"

    $orig
    $targ
       Are replaced with the name of your mission's origin or target respectively.
    $lead
       Is replaced with the callsign of your mission's current leader.
    $unit
       Is replaced with the short form of your current brigade, e.g. 1.Division/1.Brigade
    $miss
       Is replaced with your "mission" name, which is the same as $unit/$miss... E.g. 1.Division/1.Brigade/KFS1

v1.29 Production Update- Keep on killing in the spree world

Ok boys and girls, it's time for a quick word about current (v1.29) production tasks. We're hard at it as usual, and since this is such a large development cycle with the Chinese (client/host localization) requirements creating a huge amount of work we otherwise wouldn't be involved in (translating everything and creating that client compliancy is enormous just by itself!) but things are humming along, if humming means tearing your hair out. 8]

I vividly remember my first day in WWIIOL. I spawned into Vireaux and wandered around aimlessly for an hour or so. I checked out the buildings, the AB, perused the landscape. I randomly pushed buttons on my keyboard and clicked on stuff to see what would happen. Then I got shot in the noggin and understood why tourism dropped drastically in France in the late '30's.

AAR - A Drop to Remember

Day 2 Campaign #47 12am - The German paratrooper sat silently in awe as the noisy engines of the Ju 52-3M chugged into life. A thin smile spread on the young man's face as he thought about finally getting a chance to put his training to good use. He checked and re-checked his kit during the short flight and he didn't even notice the rolling and bumping as Werwulf expertly manoeuvred the  iron beast through the skies.

The MailBag got a record 300+ questions (and a few offers for performance enhancing tablets) this past week. Gophur dove head-first into the pile of virtual letters and selected a few for reply. Read on and find out why the nature of a shooter MMO means death isn't what it always seems and why CRS is in love with truck drivers.
