Even map makers can't sometimes access the test server! Let me tell you that Alternativa cares about Mip-Mapping a lot more than mind mapping. They thing writing a UML diagram for their code is more useful than doing a diagram for the game design. They are hardcore developers rather than game designers. In a game project expect for a Game Designer no one actually can say "i created this game". But who cares? Look how the designers changed the flag indication system thinking "Yeah manager, i think changing it to this looks more interesting". I believe they asked their graphic designer to come up with an idea of that kind.Maybe the new flag indication system looks beautiful to the eye, but that's just silly. That is not obeying any of interface design rules. These all happen because they do not actually test things with the most important group of testers, target audience. They don't because they are programmers rather than game designers! but the little thing is that sometimes the creator of a map or official game testers create a single map and discuss the many aspects of the game in real time. Maybe the test server can be public, but in game development one of the most important roles are played by game testers. I won't suppose they should allow my cousin to be testing the game aesthetics and mechanics ! For more information on subject of QA and testing you can read this very useful book. Many of the famous game designers started with game testing and ended up in Infinity Ward! With all these, i think i can convince them to let public test the new version of Persia models soon.

At some of the tests i think it was like you said. At least the testing tools have physics on the turrets. But the thing is like that, the nasty long rail turret won't let you move in the city. If it has physics then it always hit's the walls and moving your tank becomes a total headache.

kak dela?

I suppose to see them in the next major server updates.

Thanks, We removed the ladder, because as you said it is sily. The stair are remodeled so they look a bit smaller. The map is not at all a map and that won't be published. Instead there are some cool ones like this one: (the new ladder and stair types and graphics are not included in these images which will soon do) (Screenshots are made available legally)

http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12104508&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff9933&fullscreen=1 The video shows the new "Persia" models in action. A Persian village scene! You can find out more information about the whole thing from here. (The models solely belong to Mehdadoo (Mehrdad Kaveh) and are part of my private work)

I think there is a feature like voting to kick or ban a tanker in tankionline version 2.0; But you can submit your idea for a deeper discussion at Feedback Page

Hey you guys, Tanki 2.0 IS FASTER THAN VERSION 1 !!!!!!!! Who said that tanki 2.0 is going to be slower at all? The shadows are not dynamic. Like the new models of Persia, the shadow is not calculated realtime. There will be a lightmap blended with the diffuse map with multiply ( Black and white lightmap * diffuse map /255) algorithm. And because there is a setting for the level of details, tankionline 2.0 will be faster than version 1 !!! Yes, tankionline 2.0 will consume more memory, if the option to do the lighting is on, but it never means it will require more proccesing power. The camera shaking, has nothing to do with slowing things down! So does the night and day conditions! Do not spread these rumers about game speed.

The first time i tested the m1 gun in a fortknoxII map i got a ratio of 17! just go up on the castle, then you know what you have in hand!

Game Design Workshop A Playcentric Approach to Creating Innovative Games Second Edition © 2008 By Tracy Fullerton Effective Interface Design: Visualization And Feedback (page 235): Moreover, in a Capture The Flag game, the most important thing is the flags being stolen or captured. In this new indication system, that importance is not stressed enough.It also looks confusing. With the big feedback on screen with yellow or green colors, everyone without even attending the texts would realize that "Yellow" means whatever that has happened it's not good! And with the aural feedback(the sounds), you could know what has exactly happened. Now the first point of confusion is "Am i really playing for Red or Blue"? you should take a look at your name color, then look back at the new indication system to figure out what's going on! And for beginners, this is not understandable what those sounds actually are. Are they someone has honked a horn? But in the past the on screen texts as well as their colors accompanied the aural feedback. So i believe the older version served the game a better interface. Please if the game designers over in Alternativa see our suggestions, do answer so we know at least you read them! Thanks!

By the way, this post introduces some more

If you suppose to see a new gun every two weeks, then after 2 years, there will be about 60 guns! in the garage! There will soon be many many new things added for the sake of your joy.

I don't know about a new problem, but in the past sometimes clearing the game data including the temp files and cache, and signing in and out helped people with lost data. But don't worry you'll get your items back! Do try to contact "support" or help@tankionline.com

Freedom of Speech is a must is social communications, and therefore nothing should at all be baned in terms of openly expressing ideas. But the other thing that we should consider is that any misbehaviour is blocked by the intelligent robots, and moderators are only there for more control. And of course if moderators did anything wrong, talking about it in public only messes things up. You can always ask for PM Support or contact them at help@tankionline.com.

Oh, what if you happen to get a new rank? All the post should be updates?!! :)

Tankionline is too good for an apple product! Apple's new policy is to bane it's costumers from playing Flash applications. They think instead of simply typing a URL and playing a game, you should go to a store and pay tens of dolors!

The map "Плато"(plato), has it's english name as "highland"

Thanks for creating this topic but, But please tell the community about your city of residence in this old topic, so everyone can keep track of the subject in one united place.

Good, but you should know smokey tankers sometimes attack from the back!

The chance for getting crystals is equal for eveyone. As described in this detailed topic, "reza7" (Wasp m1, Smokey m2), earns a whole load of crystals. Please share your thought about the subject in that topic!

We have our clans, but where to go? how to apply? At least give us the link to the Russian post covering clan registration, so we can get involved.
