separate the update.

[splitterpoint 10,986]

In my opinion the old version had a tad better tanks/guns then the new one., mainly because of the grey parts... they make paints look awfull.

and I know some players don't want to lose the old version, because, like me, they prefer the old tanks and graphics over the new ones.

 

and yes, yet again I will talk about my previous played game; stick arena.

Stick arena had an update just like this, it is now called stick arena dimensions.

the graphics fail there big time, it was a huge update... a huge mistake.

But there's still one server which provides you the original stick arena.

guess what, It's more filled then the other servers.

 

now to get back to tanki; what about ''some'' of the servers get the 1.100 update?

example: you will be able to play the 1.100 version of tanki at server 1/12

and the normal version at 13/24.

 

Doing this the players can still be able to play the normal version if they prefer that, while the others play the new version.

and because I have a good computer I don't really need to play the new version, because the new version is mainly made for reducing lag.

It also brings the CP mode, which should also be implented in the old version in my opinion.

 

You will have the same stats in all the server as usual, but the servers provide two types of tanki.

 

 

or:

 

the server provides different type of games; some are 1.100 games, and some are the regular, there's one problem however...

this causes longer loading times because the server needs to load both versions.

it will be visible in the server as (example): silence CTF for the regular games and silence CTF V2 for the updated games; with new tanks and all other features from the new update.

The V2 games have to get a good visible mark at the front of the battle name.

(suggested by FederalbureauFBI)

 

all of this doesn't mean that the new version is garbage, contrary; I love the look of the new tanks... if they have grey/carbon paint on.

The maps are more detailed then never before and I like the fog feature.

 

 

Now I Love the look of all the hulls they are much better then the old version,

but the fact is that the grey parts don't change after you selected a paint, it should be in my opinion.

I love the look of grey viking M3/ thunder M3 because the paint looks like the grey parts.

 

 

But when I turn on (for example flora) the grey parts don't blend in with the color. I found this way to ugly... uglier then the previous version.

 

 

And I'm sure that some of you say: ''post this in the feedback section you idiotic noob''

now I will do that, but this is thread is also for discussion.

 

would you like two versions of tanki instead of a whole new game?

 

 

I ''apologize'' for any incorrect grammer.

Or just an option (when creating battles), something like 'Silence Winter/Summer/Winter v2/Summer v2'?

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Or just an option (when creating battles)' date=' something like 'Silence Winter/Summer/Winter v2/Summer v2'?[/quote']

 

could the server handle that?

what if someone uses the old version and one uses the new version?

because I'm sure the maps are changed a bit.

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

I mean, I create a battle, Silence Summer v2, if you enter, you play in the v2 of the map.

Then you create a battle, Silence Summer old, and when I enter, I play the old version.

I mean, to take the new versions as different maps - seperated Winter, Summer, Winter v2, Summer v2.

[CaptainMaxwell7 231]

why everyone say that the new graphics is not awesome?

[Alklines 1,751]

That would be nice actually! I think I prefer the old version more than the 1.100 version, all the paints there are bright and colorful, and I really dont like the look of the tanks and weapons of 1.100 :(

 

They're too dull, contain too much gray areas and its definatly not traditional tanki! Kind of seems like someone just bought the game and started to implant new stuff.

sounds cool, didn't tought about it that way.

It's the best idea I've seen so far in my days at the forums.

edited the thread.

I like it splitterpoint! Excellent idea, since I prefer the old tanks and graphics too.

 

And Federal, while I'm replying here anyway, I'd like to congratulate you on becoming a consultant. In my opinion a great addition to the team.

He's doing a good job so far; however, being a consultant is hard work.

I'm sure you will face much harder jobs in the future Federal :mrgreen:

[CooperO 7,956]

 

Tirlimlim, tirlimlim... ahh... too long to read (Boring) and by the way for the update I hope the old graphics will be still there and that you will be able to switch from one to another?

 

You know, If you did read it, you would know that what you are asking, was exactly what splitterpoint suggested.

So next time, read or don't even bother to react.

Wiki has just been reported (don't think I am offended by his words, just what he is doing is against the Rules.)

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Please, don't go off-topic yet... the update has just been released and there so much more to discuss.

[Lieutenant_Me 65]

again false promise:

http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/17268.page

Q-How will the transition to the Tanks 2.0? I am wondering what will happen to the current tanks.

A-Tanks 1.0 will run until the end of the year, but new registrations will be closed.

 

this is not yet ver.2 but this is MAJOR UPDATE. (entirely) new graphic, new sound, new combat mode... is it just another FAIL promises? obviosly users want old graphic or just option for that. i dont care, even i think the graphics are childis.

 

p.s. i just want new Rules and Ranks...

[splitterpoint 10,986]

wait, I didn't get it... do you prefer the new version?

[SilentShadow 104]

:( I actually want to say sorry to you - not cause you reported me but because I was mad to you for no reason :(

 

You should not have broken the rules in the first place, it is impossible to dodge proper punishment at this point.

 

As for topic, I do not fully agree, for reasons which I am unsure of...it is difficult to think over such things.

The servers would only have to hold copies of the 1.99 models (tank and map). Having both models does not create extra load on the servers because maps are temporally downloaded and rendered client side, not server.

I really like FBI's suggestions about the options when you make your battle maps.

it would eat too much space. cause lag. can u imagine tanki times 2? double the lag that we have now! it aint happening.

battle maps and tanks models are stored on computers locally. I am a 3D designer and programmer myself and just storing copies of the old tank and map models is not all that taxing on the servers. If whole servers were dedicated to the old version models, then it would have no impact on client/server connectivity.

[r_kilaz0 10]

well fine then mister smartypants have it your way. harumph.

[Shelbyh 1]

Awesome Splitter, I like it. In my opinion, I think that, only the new graphichs of the maps and the new game mode (CP) are good but the new graphics in the hulls and the weapons are so ugly and mus't be changed or simplely do your idea, make the 2 versions for the satisfaction of the all players that love the "classic" Tanki Online. :lol:
