Title: I Need Battle Reports!!!
Post by: MaleMaldives on April 25, 2011, 09:08:50 PM
Hi, I am making a program right now that you can copy and paste a battle report script into it, and it will then show a graphical representation of it. My characters haven't been in any battles in awhile and I noticed I am missing some critical information. Any normal battle medium sized battle should do for now. But I will take any as I will use them to help find bugs. Also I will need weird battles eventually such as a unit moves past the enemy and then falls back. If there is a way to spoiler the message here(can't seem to find it), then post it here. Otherwise send it to me in a message. Thanks a lot.

Hmmm I'm not sure how to access those. I tried previewing them in a message and opening it, but it game me an error.

I guess you can only view them if you have a character in the right continent/realm... maybe a dev can help you out here?

O oops I was on wrong continent. So cool I can read them from Atamara, EC, and Dwilight. Any others do this:

You can go into the battle report do ctrl+a to highlight it all then ctrl+c to copy it. It will highlight all sidebar and stuff, but I don't think that will be a problem. Then in the forum send me a message(not in the thread) use ctrl+v to paste it all to me.

Send us a screen when you get something.  This sounds pretty interesting.

Thanks for the Battle Reports so far. I got some needed information. I am almost ready to start the graphics part. Before that though I need to see a battle reports that contains: a noble dying, a wall, a unit advancing too far and moves back.

Still will take anything else.

A battle with a wall: [Scribe:222693|046f87f53b5166d6]

It's in Nahad on FEI.

Hey I got another question. Does anybody know if it is possible for a unit to retreat from melee. I know Archers will move backwards if melee is too close to them, but will they ever move backwards once they are already in it.

And if anyone is curious I hope(keyword) to have an alpha version of my program done by tonight.

I think I've seen archers fall back from melee, but I wouldn't swear to it.  I'll keep an eye out.

Well I failed to get it done tonight, and it's past 5:00 AM  :( . It is a point where I could send it even though there are some known bugs, but I couldn't get the compiler to work  :'( . I got quite frustrated with it, so I may take a couple days break from it.

Where would be a good place on the forum to create a thread for it, and anyone have any recommendations on a good free file sharing site?

I've always found this one very satisfactory.

And this one, which I myself  often use for file transfer, being as no limits on size or amount of downloads etc.

Yes, archers will definitely retreat from close combat. I *think* they may even retreat if close combat happen on the line in front of them, as well.
