Title: Happy 2nd Birthday Gang Garrison!
Post by: mrfredman on September 06, 2010, 10:22:19 pm
Ok, we lied to you a little bit, and for that I apologize, but let me take this time to introduce you to Birthday Garrison.

Today is the second anniversary (http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=2491.msg72242#msg72242) of the first official release of Gang Garrison. (the link on that page is dead, but if you want to play our first version it can be downloaded from here. (http://www.ganggarrison.com/oldversions/2008-09-08%20Original%20Release.zip))

We are so glad to have made it this far and to still have all of you here playing this awesome game. We've been through some trials and tribulations, and I promise 2.3 will come out some day (hopefully sooner rather than later) but for now let's reflect on how far this game and community has come and play some Birthday Garrison!

I'm AcidLead, and I approve of this update.

Personally I like the new class's ability the best.

Oh and by the way the drops aren't limited per day. Prepare to infinite idle, you scuzzwads!

Hats, the new weapons from Alt Weapons Mod and some from other sources and games, the new secret class, one-use grenades, and Alka-Seltzer for the Bad Manviches.

Just a little tidbit of information to spark some flamewars.

Developers get an exclusive hat. Good luck trying to hack the system to get one, any attempts will add your ip address to a ban list on the machine that the drop system server is hosted on so we can manually disallow troublesome forum members from getting any drops since we can see all of your ip addresses :smiley16:

All of the hats are handled by a central server. Every time you join a game you connect to this server and download the hats, they are added into the game's resources before the first frame of the game even happens so you'll never see image files. Hell, even the hat objects work in that manner so you can't mod your game to not show hats due to your shame in not owning hats of your own.

Post by: cats4gold on September 06, 2010, 11:23:04 pm

The only way i can see an anti skinnable dev hat working is either a code that checks consistency or the devhat is downloaded everytime it's used, to a temp folder

I guess there's also the balance bits, like the quotelauncher now does 17-3 damage, and medic healing beams also cloak to prevent giving away spies, and the Manvich guarantees critical hits if you get backstabbed while eating it, and flame now does 0 damage so nobody can whine about how it's overpowered, and the scoot has a triple jump so every other class can get a double jump.

When they finish porting it to another programming language. (you should probably figure yourself what that means)


It may be some sort of rickroll, yeah. Or WORSE. Or the thread will get deleted tomorrow. Maybe they forgot April fools was ~5 months ago.

Oh, before I forget. We decided to follow in the footsteps of valve and gave special hats to the persons who we as developers deemed the most helpful when it came to balancing the game: people with skill.

you know, im not a native english speaker, so would you explain me? i dont know what porting is.
the word port has something to do with door as far as im concerned
*In Finnish*
port(ing) it to another programming language. = kääntää se toiselle ohjelmointikielelle

I don't believe they will do it >_>

Title: Happy 2nd Birthday Gang Garrison!

So what is "tomorrow" in Valve Time again? 6 years from now or something?

It is bitmixed. You try to draw accurate skeletal arms with 2x pixels at that size.
I don't figure it matters for a one-day update.

Also beholder sniper is awesome albeit makes it hard to play due to size. They eyeball moves around the eye and fires lazers :smiley16:

When will the laggy TCP-based netcode be replaced with a UDP-based solution?

Do you have any idea how long that'd take to re-write 2 years worth of code for networking just to switch protocols?

Title: Re: Happy 2nd Birthday Gang Garrison!
Post by: Agh on September 10, 2010, 08:18:21 am
Ask Medo! He coded the very first version.
Title: Re: Happy 2nd Birthday Gang Garrison!
Post by: MedO on September 10, 2010, 02:21:18 pm
The original netcode was completely dependend on everyone getting every update in the right order, because after the initial sync it only transmitted player input. If any update had been missed it would result in ever-groving desync. After the compo everything was very busy and I changed the netcode to the current concept which doesn't force such a tight sync, but much of the code still relies on the stability provided by TCP.
Title: Re: Happy 2nd Birthday Gang Garrison!
Post by: Dataflashsabot on September 10, 2010, 03:38:18 pm
Games aren't supposed to depend on reliable packets for things like player position and weapon firing.
Of course, I'm not the one coding this awesome free game, so feel free to ignore me. I'm just saying, in my opinion, the single best update would be to UDP netcode.

Why does everyone have to be so sarcastic on these forums, especially in announcement threads? People come here to become informed about things relating to GG2. It seems a bit counter-intuitive if no one can give you a straight answer on anything.

Was there really nothing at all in this update? I want a logical explanation as to why I had to sit and wait for 2 minutes for my client to update.

If there was no new content, there's no reason to make people sit through an "update" just so you can put some silly splash in your game. Geesh.

There was nothing added of use outside of the celebration. A while back, I made plans to try to get 2.3 out in time for GG2's birthday but I did not meet that deadline. The next best thing was to allow the players to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of GG2's creation with festive embellishments.

If you didn't want to download the update, you aren't forced to. 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 are both compatible with one another. All that'll happen is that you're prompted for an optional but recommended update. You were even instructed to read the announcement board for more information. It was explicitly stated by me that it was just the addition of party hats and confetti blood for birthday mode, nothing more, nothing less.
