I didn't change it, I'm not the only guy working on this

I can check if it has been made the default I guess but that doesn't really matter, does it? A server configuration GUI is in the works so hopefully that solves the confusion later on, for now I guess just don't jump from too high.

weird thing is the game fall damage more like halo fall damage as if you fall a certain distance you die, and not fall and land on something.
it's more wonky when there chances of falling and surviving not set in stone.
one time I jump and landed a good 20 stones tiles from the sky with no problem then when I jump off a hovering bridge that's 10 stones tiles I died mid air.
the fall damage is the Brawl trips, it's so random.

edit: Nondestructable blocks?

[Geti]

New Build! Nondestructable rocks exist now, we're working on getting their creation from the generator less... Well, less shitty.

Code:

Changes build 49-51:

- added Show Minimap option to video options (turning off minimap increases performance)
- pixel particles don’t show up if FPS drops below 20
- fixed minimap colors
- fixed grass tile appearing as dirt
- added knight shield down
- optimized netcode: not sending entities out of sight
- gold tile appears more distinct than stone
- fixed console kick not banning
- fixed rcon player possible to kick
- removed invalid net object not found messages
- fixed respawn queues not deleted on client
- global banning added
  (if player gets banned twice in some period of time he gets global banned for a couple hours)
- added new bedrock block (indestructible)
- trees don’t grow now in holes-
- added error message appears if game runs without Administrator privileges
- tweaked speed hack detection
- added s_system config variable to set sound system (for troubleshooting)
    (KAG/Base/Scripts/autoconfig.gm - global s_system =
        0 - autodetect (default)
        1 - DirectSound 8
        2 - DirectSound
        3 - Win MM
        4 - ALSA (Linux)
        5 - Core Audio (MacOSX)
        6 - No sound)

The respawn seconds counter is disabled in this version, I know about this and will fix it later.

non-destructable blocks that randomly generate bound to lead to balance issues given that now the 'unfair' random map designs of gold placement adds no room of expanding and mining out on their home base.
That and I guess my issue on falling was from something about the anti speed hack being falsely triggered by lag and the player reaching terminal velocity killing them mid jump.
So which I guess was 45-49 build of the game which cause the rise of these deaths.
It seems like KAG adding more obstacles than abilities with each update(I guess knights having a 360 shield cover is a nice touch but won't help them when their stuck in a pit made of green stone).

[Geti]

Sure sounds like a lot of complaining, especially considering I've just stated the rock placement is shitty.

We're working on all the issues (especially the indestructible rock placement). Knights in such a predicament can ask for ladders or suicide, same as would be the requirement in reality.

Rumrusher, your tone is coming off as a bit harsh. You may want to mind your wording a bit.

Geti, do you know what the .png color is for bedrock in the map file?
It isn't listed on the wiki yet:

Harsh? Oh god your right, Sorry geti. If you ignore the bedrock rant, I read somewhere that the air deaths where from the game's anti- speed hack does this game have a acceleration while falling that triggers the Anti- speed hack killing the player?

[Geti]

I'm not sure if it's the anti-speedhack or what, we'll look into it but as I've said, I'm not coding on this one so I'm not savvy to all that's going on under the hood. I'll inform the coder that something might be amiss.

Dacke the value is 30,50,30 (1e321e as hex).

[Dacke]

Thanks
I added it to the list on the wiki.

[Geti]

New release coming soon: http://kagdev.tumblr.com/post/6380855868/working-on-new-release-here-is-a-new-death-fall

We're also looking into a day/night cycle

[Rumrusher]

so during the night cycle builders can make torches to light up areas?

[knight]

Suddenly I'm getting massive lag while playing this game. Strange,it was working for the last couple builds.

Yeah, it looks like a bug in the new netcode, we're looking into fixes :/

so during the night cycle builders can make torches to light up areas?

Potentially, we're not sure how far we want to take it yet because we don't want to introduce too much lag with dynamic lightmaps and the like. We have a few ideas though, but I can't say anything yet

[poe]

When/if dynamic lighting is released, I'll have to make the website dynamically lit too to match! (Kidding, of course   ....sorta)

[Geti]

So yeah for those that haven't seen yet:

[Rumrusher]

man it's hard being a builder getting poorer pick axes and being told the earth evolving in spite of you. King arthur needs to send more research on better picks

Joking aside I notice that Soldiers can pretty much dig any where now that bombs break bedrock, which is good for those wanting to clean up the fort site bad for any one thinking using bedrock as a defense against intruders. Though I been in more 'stalemates' where people voted for map reset more often that just winning.

[WelcomeToAwesomeness]

This game confuzzles me. I am not sure exactly what to do.

[Geti]

Build a fort then go fight the enemy, try to steal their gold. That's more or less the game in a nutshell.

Oh yeah also:

[Geti]

Downside: We're leaning more towards a 1-flag mode for this release (and possibly all following free releases, we'll see how that goes) to keep the introductory gameplay simple.
Upside: Very likely CTF within a week, possibly today if we work our asses off.

One flag each team or only one flag? o.o
