WinBolo 1.15 Released

Version 1.15 of WinBolo has now been released. It can be downloaded from the downloads page of www.winbolo.com

1st post! W00T!!

Will test it out. :wink:

1.15...seems normal...

Very much worth the wait.
Nice work with the LogViewer and the new version!

Looks great Elvis! Thanks for all your hard work.

My spawner has been updated to 1.15 and logging is turned on.

Thanks Elvis for your great work ! I will install/try it in 1 minute ;)

any news on what the "other fixes" were or was it just the log viewer that took a year

fyi... on my logs, I have now added two links at the top when viewing a log, one to "winbolo.net log" and one to "logviewer log". Clicking the latter for games that do not have a logviewer log will report an error. But for those that do have a log, it will allow you to view or download as normal.

This should make it easier to find and view official games that get logged. In the future I'll probably make it a little fancier where the links show up only when the log is available, etc.

Elvis: That's great!

From the the Version History:

Version 1.15 (21/4/06)
* Game logging. Includes log viewer capable of replaying log files.
* Fixed tanks not disappearing immediately in game clients when destroyed by running into mines.
* Many other fixes.

I think you have your answer, Jockey. I also echo your comment about what the other fixes were. I know we can't be the only ones wondering what was fixed. Maybe the pillbug?

Although each new version supposedly tweaks the networking in some noticable fashion, I'm sure we'll have to play a couple weeks to get a feel for the differences between 1.15 and 1.14.

One thing Elvis changed is the early spawn. Now, everyone spawns in the same spot when they join the game the first time. Then it's random afterward.

Some have said it's harder to stick enemy tanks into their own pb fire (entrapment by coming from behind), and some have said the spawns are better. However I haven't heard Elvis say anything about that so I don't know since I haven't noticed those changes myself.

One thing though I know is that so far I haven't experienced any bugs save for one lgm bug. So it may be less buggy as well.

[19:56:37] <bubba_us> he mentioned starts are 100% percent random in a 1x1 with fermat
[19:56:44] <no> oh
[19:56:53] <no> so they are no longer influenced by pbs and what have you?
[19:57:29] <bubba_us> cant say
