Along with a 100% code rewrite comes a few new bugs....

(Also including old bugs in this list that were just recently discovered or fixed.)

TODO:

Was the Home page updated August 7th? because I don't know if its just me or if this was really july 4th But I think the Date is wrong on the article.

Over the past few months, the TankPit server and website have been undergoing major revisions behind the scenes. Most of the changes will be invisible to players but will increase the efficiency, security, and stability of the game. Some changes you will notice:

You can now customize your game hotkeys.
Game sounds volume can now be increased or decreased in game using the +/- hotkeys.
You can now set your time zone for the tournament calendar.
We've decided to trial an option for players to change tank names. See the F.A.Q. for further information.
After trialing it for a few months, we've removed Experience from the tournament results.


Remember to keep TankPit a safe site for players of all ages! Inappropriate language or contact information is not allowed in tank names or on the bulletin board. Offenders will lose their ability to create new tanks or post on the bulletin board, respectively.

We are also cracking down on cheating in tournaments. Malicious players will lose their ability to play tournaments. Please play with honor and don't try to ruin the fun for other players.

See you on the fields!

[DemonicTank]

I'M trying to play the game on Firefox I get an Oops Message It says "The game is currently OFFLINE! Please try again later" maybe the server is down but since you just did the update it could be something different correct me if I'm wrong. 8:44am EST

[Molekula]

TODO:
* Manage tanks page sometimes has wrong tank color (always orange?)

Fixed:
* Unable to load game on Chrome/IE

Time zones confuse the hell outta me, thus I have no idea when you last updated this so apologies if it was recently. Just logged in and Molekula is displaying as a blue tank. I am also unable to load on chrome with the message - 'Oops something went wrong here! It might be a problem with your computer settings, check for some simple solutions to get you back in the game'. Not sure what to try?

[SIX DAY WAR]

* Manage tanks page sometimes has wrong tank color (always orange?)

This could actually be a fun thing...ISO mass amounts of tanks on the field tonight!

Sometimes I wish Sun Wolf was still the douche he used to be and deleted your account just so I could see you literally crap a brick on this message board. You're lucky he has become a better man.

[Tragic]

you guys are aware that he is aware of what needs fixed,right? Flooding him with dot & lb requests aren't going to do anybody any good. Just let him do his thing, I'm sure he'll get it figured it out.

I personally find scripting to be a pain in the ass whenever you modify it, the slightest changes can cause the biggest fuckin' headaches-and unfortunately even for a game like this there is no scripting 101 book handy.

Game had crashed. Fixed the error and restarted. Also reinstated script to automatically restart server if it crashes.

...And now none of my hot-keys work

Also, not a bug, but anyone else noticing huge fuel containers?

[shermanfrombf]

a freshly radared 1169 fuel didn't give me any fuel and disappeared when I went next to it. I was the only one on screen. no idea how to recreate.

keeps happening to me too, or i get very little fuel. Also have been hitting invisable mines right after radaring and picking up empty containers. Seems like it's not always showing things that enemy tanks have done to effect the fuel/equipment since it's spawn.
