Hi! I've been working on Colony v6.0 and we're doing some testing and technical things now. It should be out really soon. Anyway, here are the notes:
Anti-Hacking New features are being added into 6.0 to make it harder for hackers. Using more server-side code so that it's not easy to breach, and also you will automatically be de-synced from a hacker if the game thinks that he is hacking.
Friends List Added a friend list feature. You can add friends by user name, so you can see whenever they come online, chat with them directly whether you are in a game or in the lobby, and also you can block users.
Balance Changes Influence Cap raised to 200. Prides: Now cost 40 Influence, up from 35. Gladiator: Price reduced. Weapon range and damage increased slightly. Sakata Spider: Price slightly reduced. Range, speed and HP slightly increased. Meditec: Now takes slightly few seconds to deploy.
New In-Game Commands
/add [username] Adds that player to your friends list.
/remove [username] Removes that player from your friends list.
/friendlist Displays a list of all your added friends, and shows whether they are online, offline, or blocked.
/block [username] Block that player from sending you private messages.
/unblock [username] Unblock the player.
/w [username] [message] Sends a private message to the user. He/she has to be on your friend list for that to work.
Note: The usernames in all friend list commands are case-sensitive.
That's all for now I'm still trying to figure out a way to create a kind of spectator mode. No promises though!
This just happened to me twice i hosted a game but when i got in i couldnt build anything or talk to the people i was playing with i have no idea what happend its like my computer froze but i could still type it was weird
When can u guys get it? This game was just a way for krin to test his multiplayer coding. Dont expect any of this colony stuff to be updated and fixed in the future. Hes still got sonny and sijid so while hes doing that colony is definetly his last priority.
40P2P I know that COlony was a test game, but he put so much into it. Also if it was a test of his skills, then he is currently FAILING because there are still problems that are really easy to fix and some harder problems. I dont want the hacking to be fixed because that is a waste of time. I'm only waiting for a bug patch and a balance patch.
