Reply to Stupid Patch Broke My game! in Demigod Demigod Forums

Player from Europe here, patch didnt fix/improve my connection problem. Instead of 'Colonel_Jessep is not connected to anybody yet' it says 'trying to establish connection' or something like that. Well, maybe when the proxies go up. Good luck guys, GL Stardock, hope you can fix it for all of us soon. *sniff*

Reply to Desync Detected: Window makes game unplayable in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Several reasons can lead to desyncs, three come to mind at once: - the installation of one player is corrupted - he is using a sim mod and forgot to disable it before logging on - the data sent from the player was corrupted So if he didnt use a mod and the game installation is not broken it's most likely a data error. The player who desynced can try to reinstall the game but I doubt that is the problem. To tell the truth, I can't even begin to narrow it

All it needs to give us modding support is a second desktop shortcut and ONE single line added to the GameDataPath.lua. This system works great, it's extremely powerful and with an additonal hash check for ranked games pretty much impossible to beat for cheaters. In SupCom we are using this method to mount mods that can't be handled anymore by the build-in mod manager because they are going too deep into the game (additional factions, massive remodeling of the game, additional AIs, ne

Reply to Desync Detected: Window makes game unplayable in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

If a game desyncs you should quit and make a new game, thats why this window keeps popping up. A desync means you and the other players are not playing with the same set of data anymore. EG in one version of the game player A died, in another version he didnt. There is no way to recover the game as far as I know, even removing or replacing the player with a desync isnt going to solve the problem. There is only one choice: host a new game.

[quote]People tend to assume that mod tools ensure the longevity of any game, but in fact that may not only be wrong, but having too many mods available may actually have the opposite effect. Food for thought.[/quote]While your Psychology 101 prof will certainly approve, let me point you to the beta and SupCom. We had modding in the beta, it was not supported, it worked anyway. There are already mods that improve Demigod , due to lacking mod support you can only use them offli

The 3D meshes for maps are not that complex, it will be much harder to get certein effects into the map.

Reply to Let me zoom out farther in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I like Spookys idea. [e digicons]k1[/e] Several times I had to adjust and scroll the map to teleport back home to heal and buy items. Happens pretty often, maybe once or twice per game. If you have a little health left and death is not imminent it's only a small annoyance. However it happens every so often that you use a teleport scroll to get out of harms way. If that happens split seconds needed to adjust the map can become a very, very long time! I know the engine of

The first thing I do after a fresh Windows install is to turn off all the animations, rounded corners... to get max performance. However, the Demigod theme looks so nice that I have no choice but to use it. Great job, I love the idea, thank you!

[Suggestion] Victory Condition Fortress: gameplay improvement ideas and lobby UI suggestion in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

First let me say that it might make sense to place options like the victory condition and allowing favor items in the main lobby . In many games the options like creep spawn rate and starting levels wont be touched by the players. And the other gameplay modi might be used more often too. ;) Back to the game modus Fortress: The fortresses in the middle should be moved back a little bit in my opinion. This would allow the

Reply to [Suggestion] Make flags more interesting, ideas for visual and gameplay improvements in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

I added your idea to the first post Heavenfall, some variety will keep the gameplay interesting. [e digicons]k1[/e] @ polarstar: in early game a portal spawns 6 Minotaurs or so. With upgrades and increasing war rank you will get more Minotaurs, Archers , 3 healers, 3 Catapultisauri and 2 Giants. Decreasing the number of enemy Minotaurs wouldnt do much but you could have a flag which decreases the number of Monks, Catas and Giants by one. Idea added. [e digicons]k1[

Reply to [Suggestion] Make flags more interesting, ideas for visual and gameplay improvements in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Thanks for the Karma, I'm glad you like my ideas so far. The names are based on Northern and Greek mythology and random standard fantasy stuff and are placeholders. They can be replaced with more fitting names. It was just to demonstrate how a 'flag' could be improved to fit better into the role playing aspect of the game. @ Trigeminal: please add your ideas too, the more the better!

[Suggestion] Make flags more interesting, ideas for visual and gameplay improvements in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Demigod is a great game and a lot of fun to play. The engine works great and I hope multiplayer will be even more fun once the netcode is polished. However some things don't feel right at the moment. For a game based on mythology and role playing I would expect more than flags that buff a few stats. The Demigod beta reminds me too much of a math problem and a good demigod build is too much about crunching numbers. Especially the flags could be more interesting in function and appea
