Hi All;

My back-end changes are basically done, so I am in beta now on my development version.

Keeping in mind there could be some more obscure bugs (report them here!), if you're interested try it out at:

(Normal) http://qz.earthempires.com
(Mobile) http://m.qee.evolution2025.com (we ran out of aliases on our godaddy account =/ )


If you guys in FFA could pay special attention to the FFA control panel that would be appreciated; it took me about a month to convert the thousands of lines of code slagpit had written for that, and I tested it fairly well at the time, but I have since changed some of the objects it uses.

Also, I don't remember if I fixed any of the known bugs (bonus points), so if anybody wants to risk a couple bonus points to tell me then awesome.


One other point related to FFA, I've removed the accelerated-restarting from FFA restarts, partially due to popular demand. However, because of the way I've coded it, there's no easy way for me to have that switch in, so that's live on the dev version atm, so if you want an accelerated restart, don't restart on these testing ones =/

is there a list somewhere of bugs you 'fixed' or any other changes made?

Decay bug fixed, bldg costs fixed, expenses fixed, and PM Regen. Didnt have enough to test Defense bonus or booms

No there's no list, I just went through converting it, it took a while; I may have fixed things without knowing them in some cases, as I made some pages actually use the proper methods (same as in-game) where they weren't before.


Are those bonus points cost you're referring to then?

the alliances control page still says that it hasn't been implemented yet. That would be a useful tool for techers that have to setup all of those pacts.

Yea, I haven't added additional functionality yet; this was more about converting the entire existing codebase to a slightly newer model...

Not sure if this is a bug or cause first time using it, but first login yielded news on main screen till current time (market sales lg's etc)

Under Economics and War Tab "New Sale" and "New news" does not clear after entering country.

When trying to do a spy op from http://qz.earthempires.com/ffa/control/war/spy

I get this

"A fatal error has occured. Script execution has been aborted"

Crippler: first time use, yea


whooze: I'll check that, thanks

possibly fixed, i had pluralized a variable accidentally....

B-b-b-bump!

/me humming along to some music


If you would like this to all work correctly when I put it live shortly, please test it :)

I can always just make it live and see what's wrong then, but it'd be nice to have more testing first. :)


Unless your silence means everything is perfect already :))

wait so what is this now?

does doing things on that link do things in the game for real? i'm confused...

as for FFA control panel it has the same annoying bug in the control panel that the current game does, so i don't see anything different (if you spend all your turns then login later it doesn't have your new turns on the foreign aid screen, so you have to relogin in to all just to have the turns shown on the page so that you can send FA)

yes, everything you do via that link via your account is permanent.

hrm I figured that would be a deve environment :S

LMAO@NH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well it's a dev copy of the code, hooked to the live DB... simpler for rigorous testing that way, as people can play the way they actually would


llaar: That's because you don't actually *get* the turns until you login; would you like to "autologin" to *all* your countries as soon as you go to the FFA control panel ?

doubt new horizon tells us what did he do at ingame.

spent a billion dollars and grabbed my fattest clan mate :*(


you know cloning current db would be the easiest thing you could do to allow for real testing :)

well the war panel tells me how many turns i have

seems the FA panel should as well. and using a feature that spends turns would cause it to login

whats the downside of logging into them all at once anyway since theres no time bonus of 12hr/18hr in FFA anyway anymore?

lol @ NH

he grabbed himself.

pci boom still not fixed. used 2 extra still

Llarr is right the war panel says current turns but when you try to sell goods or tech from cp or fa you need to login to each country to update turn counts... Same for start of reset and auto startups.

mmm
I suppose eh

So another words whatevers easiest for you lol

lol no... we are trying to go for a consistent experience ;)

sounds like an expensive hooker to me
