.. it really gets in the way of progress! ;) I've been extremely busy lately, so M/MU has taken a backseat. However, I have now rewritten the battle code in an object oriented way, and things are looking good!

Apologies for the dearth of updates recently - I was merrily updating the news items on my development PC instead if the live site. Doh!

Spoke too soon!

Gaz has picked a couple of continental-sized holes in the battle routine which need seeing to. Luckily he also suggested the solutions :)

Entering final stage of alpha test
|
11 Sep 2003
|
Gaz and I are about to test the battle and garrisons code to the limt, given that we now have no less than 3 flashpoints in our game. If all goes well, then we should be approaching the beta phase!

A few minor bugs found

10 Sep 2003
|
Such as the ability to transfer troops to/from neutrals! I've also done a lot of work updating the site to use Javascript validatoin (regular expressions, yummy!), but that isn't live yet

Alpha 0.2b Released
|
29 Aug 2003
|
One day in from uploading the 0.2a files and I have already upgraded to 0.2b, following the discovery of a few minor bugs, mainly in the non-player Admin pages.

Alpha 0.2
|
28 Aug 2003
|
The 0.2a release will be out either today or tomorrow (decided not to bother with 0.1g). This is very close to a good quality beta, so things are looking hopeful. The stabling of horses has had to go (for now at least), but there are plenty of oth

Added some screenshots of forthcoming version 0.1g

Since the online tour has not been available for some time, I have added some screenshots to the Home page to give people an idea of what to expect.

Garrisons may need reworking...
|
20 Aug 2003

... as they are proving to be a bit of a headache! Maybe I've just been looking at the same script for too long :/

Garrison code nearing completion
|
18 Aug 2003

Once implemented and tested by myself, Gaz and Marie, I will tidy up the "End Game" code and then hopefully others can play (at long last!)

Garrisons getting closer
|
29 Jul 2003
|
The garrison code is now about 50% complete. Hopefully it should be completed within the next 5-7 days.
Also, have made a fair number of additional small changes. Gaz and I have started a new alpha game to test most of this out.

Alpha progressing well
|
17 Jul 2003

There are two alpha games running (6 and 15 days). No major bugs found, combat refined, seeking added (partial), detect other lords nearby (so you don't have to do a 360 scan), personal journal, etc

Prince Gaz joins test team
|
09 Jul 2003

Welcome to Gaz and thanks for coming on-board. In a mad panic to get it all ready in time for him to play, I fixed about 10 bugs and probably introduced a couple of new ones too!

Slight delay caused by bug in PHP 4.3.2

04 Jul 2003

PHP 4.3.2 running as a CGI module under Apache won't display pages in a browser! Guess what setup my new PC has? Will try 4.3.1. Hopefully I can get things moving again.

More updates
|
26 Jun 2003

I did loads of work on this today, so I'm a few days ahead of my rather informal schedule. The only real biggy left to do is garrisons and ownership of keeps and citadels.

Testing going well
|
25 Jun 2003

Plenty of buggetts have been uncovered and zapped with the coding equivalent of fly spray. Hurray! Battles are working (except for lords who don't yet take part). Slowly but surely...

No it does work, it's just that no one ever writes ;-) Actually the mail *was* taking rather long to arrive but all seems ok now.

Testing phase to start soon

Testing of a partially complete system is underway on my development PC. Once complete, I will upload the files to this site for all you patient registered players to have a go :) Aiming for early July.

Alpha just around the corner (fingers crossed)
|
09 Jun 2003
|
Late-night/early morning baby duty has given me some time to cut some code! Struggling to shoehorn my battle algorithm into the main processing, but when that's done then the first alpha will be released.

Addendum
|
08 May 2003
|
I should have added that none of these changes are on the live site. As stated before, I won't be doing any updates to the live site until the first alpha release. At this point the site will be closed to all but system testers.

Linking up the disparate parts

I've nearly completed the integration of the world with the web site. eg, you can now request new games, accept and decline new games, and most of the start data is now created.

First game has gone live

15 Apr 2003

Though it's only on my dev machine, you can't recruit, you can't fight, and there are no movement penalties! But still, the multi-player angle seems to be working, though it does need some refining. I feel as though I have finally hit a major mile

Steady progress!

04 Apr 2003

Not much to see that's new on the web site at the moment, but behind the scenes I have been writing the code to implement the whole New Game process, which requires a fair amount of database work. So, please bear with me, I'll get there eventually

Lords' Armies are now displaying
|
25 Mar 2003

But you can walk right through them without recruiting, and there are no garrisons in any of the keeps or citadels - I have set it up so that they display irrespective of terrain type, like in DDR (more realistic I think)
