GFX Requests / Request: donations banner
« on: February 08, 2017, 14:18 »
Request: I need a banner for our Patreon campaign with their logo, possibly eurobattle logo too and some text like "Support us on Patreon" or something along those lines. It should not be crazy but subtle.
It would have to replace the paypal links on main forum and we will also place it on this one, not sure where yet (maybe below menu).

I will also need new membergroup banner for "Patreon Supporter" for both forums in their appropriate style.


edit: just a dumb oversized example I found on google:


Banner has to fit approximately here, similar for LA forum:


edit: patreon logo should not be too prominent, it's not to advertise them but our donation campaign

DotA Discussion / The future of DotA
« on: February 06, 2017, 20:56 »
The future of DotA is uncertain. A few facts:

-W3 1.27a had an exploit which allowed the map to access all memory of PC which could be exploited by hackers. So if you played a hacked map your whole PC could get pwned.
-W3 1.27b patched this exploit
-One positive side of that exploit was that map makers like dracol1ch (d1stats dota maker) could do stuff in the map which he normally could not due to W3 restrictions since now he can access full W3 memory and do whatever advanced things he wants.
-As of right now, DotA 6.85k is the last DotA that will work on 1.27b+ and current beta and all new versions aka 6.88h+ will only work on 1.27a. He decided to rather stay on 1.27a and not support any future versions with exploit removed so he can use the exploit to his advantage.

This is obviously a problem for us because we need to stay current with Blizzard patches. PvPGN supports players connecting from different versions so we could support both at the same time. If we put bots to 6.88 that means we need to implement a version switcher in client so you will have two options for gproxy gateway, 1.27a and 1.27b. Depending on your choice client would then switch you to the desired version.

It would not be possible to play 6.88 with 1.27b+ so if you wanted to play 8MB+maps with 1.27b and then DotA 6.88 you'd have to restart w3 and enter with correct version.

We would also have to enforce correct version on bot level so if you joined a 6.88 game with wrong W3 version it would kick you out.

The other way is to stay at 6.85k but as much as I know you guys you always want new stuff in DotA so this is probably not an option.

Some people are also working on a patch to add exploit back to 1.27b but we don't know if that will actually work.


Discuss.

Announcements / Free server icon for all
« on: August 21, 2015, 08:23 »

    Dear Community,

    We are glad to announce our most recent server update in your favorite game, which comes with a new feature that you will certainly like: NEW ICONS!

    Yes, that's right! Do you want to know what's the best side on it? We are giving these MARVEL ICONS away for free.

    Hulk icon sample:

    If you want to receive a new marvel icon you just have to follow these easy and quick steps:
    Quote
    • Like our facebook page
    • Like the facebook post;
    • Send us a comment in the facebook post, containing:
    • your SERVER ACCOUNT
    • your NUMBER of the icon of your preference (eg: Cen - Icon #04).]

    Once you are done, wait until an administrator likes your comment and your new icon should be added right away.

    PS.: Please keep in mind that NO ICONS WILL BE GRANTED by requesting two or more icons (be it for the same account or multiple-accounts), so play fair and request only one.

    This took a lot of effort from our team so we really hope you like it! This time we brought Marvel icons, but in few weeks we will show you another special icons, so keep tuned!

    Have a nice week,
    Your Eurobattle.net Team.

    Feedback / Summer dev days - send your ideas
    « on: June 20, 2015, 13:54 »
    I see a ton of ideas being thrown around but until now I did not really have time to work on anything. Summer is coming which means I can dedicate some of my time to implement some stuff and make some improvements.

    I am accepting any suggestions in regard to LA or eurobattle in general. If it was dicussed on this forum or somewhere else already, provide a link. Out of all the suggestions I will pick the ones that are doable and then those will be further discussed inside the VIP area to distill it down to what will actually be worked on.


    Go!

    General Discussions / In game lag/spikes
    « on: November 09, 2014, 21:25 »
    There are some reports that games are lagging or spiking every few minutes/seconds even tho the ping to server seems normal. If you experience this problem let me know in a post below and explain when/how it happens. I'd like to add some profiling tools into gproxy and try to determine what is the reason for slowdowns.

    Announcements / New changes on LA bots in October
    « on: October 14, 2014, 17:50 »
    1. New lobby command !games <number> for example !games 50
    Kicks all players with number of games played less than <number> specified

    2. Changed behavior of !games, !min and !max
    These commands are no longer one-time commands but they will keep checking the conditions each time a new player joins so you no longer have to type them manually all the time. Basically, each time a player joins, conditions for all these 3 commands will be checked and player kicked if he does not satisfy any one of them.

    3. Reworked PSR system
    If your PSR gain for victory is less than 5 it will be increased to 5.
    If your PSR lose for a loss is less than 5 it will be increased to 5.

    Some examples from old PSR gains to new:
    +0/-0 becomes +5/-5
    +1/-2 becomes +5/-5
    +18/-3 becomes +18/-5
    +3/-10 becomes +5/-10

    This removes the high player PSR problem with 0/0 and brings some more dynamic to the ladder. This system is meant to be experimental and will be tweaked if necessary in the future. We will closely monitor the ladder dynamics to see what happens.

    Technical support / "Unrecoverably dropped" bug hunt!
    « on: August 02, 2014, 11:50 »
    We still do not know the source of this random bug when a player drops instantly from a game usually while another one is lagging. Other players see this as "PlayerX was unrecoverably dropped from GProxy!"

    I have added an additional error code to gproxy output when it happens.

    When you lose connection go check your gproxy output for a line like this:
    Quote
    [GPROXY] local player disconnected with error: SOMEERROR

    And report SOMEERROR in this topic. This might help us figure out where the problem is.

    Thanks
