Hi all, I wanted to test the game for few days before posting Feedback.
I play only ShootMania.
Pardon my bad english.
Some problems (perhaps some of them are old ones) :
- Ping up to insane values (like over 4000 sometimes) and get back to normal after a while, but that's an old problem. Sometimes I need to restart the game. It appears often when an new player unknown to me connect. Really this must be fixed. I haven't this kind of problem with other online games.
- On a Battle Server, central starting pad icon always present, even after engagement done.
- On a Battle Server (same as precedent), both teams letters icons of the poles are shown on screen.
- Sometimes I have the feeling there are missing rockets sound when multiple rockets near me.
- Aiming at the head of an non moving target while on top of it (and behind), shoot multiple time for headshot (laser) and no hit, need to aim at the neck to hit.
- In the Interface Designer, help layer appear under the top left layers (properties one & buttons "add" one - add a frame, add a quad, etc).
- Sometimes a green square appear on the background landscape after entering storm station ( i believe it's the map emplacement square).
- A file in my maniaplanet user dir appeared : UGCErrorsLog.txt, content :
Code: Select all
<manialink> file://Media/Manialinks /Common/Echelons/echelon10.dds: File 'Manialinks\Common\Echelons\echelon10.dds' not found.
.
- The feeling that sometimes my rockets get "trough" a target.
- Lots of overlaping textures problems in new maps. The possibility to choose which block overlap the others could be nice.
- When two block with different "physics" overlap,ground & techpath, the techpath physic seem to have priority, be able to choose the one who apply could be nice.
- In Siege V2, when you switch weapon, the amount of ammo get back to zero.
- "Set as ally" button in friendlist does not have any effect in Elite mode.
- Lobby server crashs on Elite.
- Map restarted on a battle server with an error message after a player went spec.
- Sometimes strange effect with vegetation (weed, bushes) when you jump while looking down, seem to flatten then get back to normal.
- In the map editor, the "unlock experimental features" checked choices are not saved when you leave the editor.
- Block mode reset to standard block instead of air mapping or ghost mode when returning to the editor after testing the map.
- When the map is tested whith the Battle.Script.txt file (in advanced tools->test map with the mode), I have a compilation error :
Code: Select all
[763,55] The objects of type CSmArenaScore does not support declaration of attribute Net_LibST_Update.
, and the table score stay on screen.
- The text of a "Mania News" is to long for the interface ( today : "I will stream the ESL CCC match etc...").
Things I like :
- Mapping tools (air mapping & mix mapping).
- New blocks (horizontal grate and so on).
- New gameplay blocks (teleport are really fun).
- The friend list & chat in general.
- The Multiplayer button on station.
- The Home button to access station.
- The Item editor (If I understand how to use it) and the other two of course(even if I think I'll never use them).
Things I don't like :
- Lack of documentation for editors, the wiki maniaplanet for SM is completly outdated.
- New textures for common blocks (especially the black ground asphalt-like and the grey walls), I think we loose the "warm atmosphere" of shootmania, even if contrast is better.
- New design & sound for weapons - especially rockets & nucleus.
- Too much blocks colored by teams colors (jumpers, stone walls panels, stone pillars...).
- New castle blocks design, to much gothic imho.
- The Fan block, the sound of the fan is very unpleasant & the loss of sound is weird, beside I already have a PC for fan noise.
- New interface, the "enter" is to small on the selected station, why not just clicking on the picture as before ?
- New interface, the server list (both in multiplayer & after entering the station). Why not an "explorer" style list with top colonne sort ? Apparently this is an old server browser (in the station), why it is here if it so ?
- New interface, the "join friend on server" button in friendlist is too small, globally the buttons are too small.
- New interface, design, but I didn't liked the old one either.
- Jumping in the Tunnels.
- Siege V2 weapon select.
- The pots with old school flame sprites.
- The colored " organic sparks" when you are hit / you die / are teleported.
- The smoke effect of the nucleus exploding (Poof).
- The new design of the score board : I can't see the number of hit if I am not in the current score page.
- I always have the ping & fps on screen and it mask the text a friend send me trough the chat.
- The mix between old and new interface part.
- Incompatibility with old servers.
- Can't navigate fully with keyboard in menus.
- healing too fast on heal pad.
- Paying for a finished game and suddenly having a Beta game.
Things I wish :
- Getting back the old textures, eventually keeping the two set of textures and using the block texture button to set desired texture color (applying this to the roof of castle blocks too) or at least the possibility to select a texture set for the map (of course, if two texture sets are possible, the default one must be the old textures, so that we do not need retexturing old maps).
- Getting at least the old rocket sound, an option in profil to select old style / new style weapon could be a good thing.
- The possibility to turn off the grid snapping for some block like trees or walls.
- Nadeo Documentation ! Especially I want to know how to use the item editor and how to include items in my maps, I hope we can at least use statics decorations without creating custom title. A tutorial "How to make a Crate" could be cool. As a user friendly game, I think you should explain how to model and texture basic object and then import it in the game (in Blender / Gimp, because they are free ^^).
- Stop jumping in the tunnels, or new underground blocks without nucleus and with the jump activated.
- Telefrag, if it's not already possible.
If I am not clear on some points, tell me and I'll try to explain. In last resort, I'll do it in French ^^'.
If any problems encounter had been fixed or things I wish exist, please tell me (and tell me where I can find the option ! )
If I found something else, I'll post it.
Thanks for reading me &
Bon courage à tous.
PS : If someone know how to use the item editor...
