zkadmin logs about the issue:

[16:14] Sprung btw "you are ugly" is an ad-hominem and not a "real" reason which may probably give off a bad impression to people who see the ban but don't know the behind the scenes
[16:14] Sprung contributes to the "admins do whatever they want" feeling some people have which might be bad
[16:15] Rafal[ZK] i already saw one post where some troll complained how admin are bad, evil etc and on top of that call people ugly
[16:16] Sprung yeah when you see someone call another ugly without knowing the backstory you may antagonize the name-caller
[16:16] Sprung the fact that he is in a position of power over the ugly dude doesn't help either
[16:23] GoogleFrog well also the default message is bad
[16:25] Anarchid default message is supposedly "so that it's so crazy admin definitely notices it before pressing the ban button"
[16:25] Anarchid ^ is non functional
[16:27] Sprung problem with having a default is that default needs to be vague enough to be a default, but people cry admin abuse if it's too vague
[16:30] Sprung dunno how the penal system works but if it's some textbox on site then it could simply be empty and not accept the punishment until filled, this way an admin needs to put something in so he might as well input at least remotely useful info (like "anteep smurf")
[16:31] Sprung though OTOH a default reason helps speed up mass bans which could be important for the "9001 smurfs barge in and start voting" cases
[16:31] Anarchid ctrl+v can do that too, plus there's a mass-ban utility that works by regexes
[16:32] Anarchid e.g. "i want to ban every spr*ng because too ugly"
[16:34] GoogleFrog make default reason "smurf"

+1's purpose is to prevent useless "+1" posts. removing it due to abysmal karma defeats this purpose (see princereaper who keeps spamming "i would +1 you if i could")

Error message:

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'SpringVersion', table 'zero-k.dbo.ResourceSpringHash'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.

(Also, Mission Editor fails to get the mission descriptions in the publish menu, it just leaves the field blank)

After a planetwars battle is complete the room continues to exist. This causes people to mill about with no idea what to do. The room seems to force the original players into the player slots. Some attempts were made to start this room but the vote did not pass, strange behaviour may occur if it does pass.

My suggestion is to close the room after the battle finishes. Perhaps it could move everyone to a new Small Teams room. This room would behave normally and let whoever joined in the meantime play a game if they want to.

Zero K lobby crashes wen run as normal user

Output:

works removing ZeroKLobbyConfig.xml

It even says "attention demanded in battle room". Can't differentiate between random !rings and reports

Tabs with #somechannel and a PM to a guy called somechannel are treated the same: closing one can actually close the other.

This can also lead to an error if letters' case for both is same:

1. join #somechannel
2. attempt to PM user with nick somechannel
3. on clicking his PM tab, error happens and his PM tab gets cloned (can occur multiple times)
   http://i.imgur.com/eVyb9ay.png

In case the order is reversed (PM tab brought up first and channel later) or case is mismatched, the other tab becomes inaccessible. ZKL address bar can also be wrong in those cases (even though it says chat/channel/somechannel it's actually at chat/user/somechannel), but the tab focus seems to be right (in that it doesn't actually switch to the channel despite the address changing).

should check for acc.IsZeroKAdmin instead of rights

1. Add email column to Account table DB
2. Add email field in ZKL registration form
   • ZKL should send this email to uberserver as part of the registration action
3. Add button to site with a password recovery form; generates a random password and sends email to user
   • Form should ask the user for username and email; only send if they match
   • Nightwatch sends uberserver the new password

Springiee should balance 2v1 situations with the best player fighting the worse players, instead of the middle player fighting the others. This may hinder elo calculations, but it would help gameplay balance, which matters more in my opinion. 2v3 and higher are much less of an issue, but could be considered as well, but I think they're fine as they are.

Basic capabilities: search for keywords, specific user, specific subforums, only look in first post

Advanced features: choose whether to display results as posts or topic; some other stuff I can't think of right now

Also there should be a link on profile page to find all posts by that user.

or any button, for that matter.

this leads to:
[15:25] ice2458 !start
[15:25] ice2458 !start

Planetwars knows exactly how many players are supposed to play a game so it could set the springie to limit game size to that many players. This would stop players from expecting a normal teamgame to occur after the current game is complete.

got broken because of switch to rapid/git, downloading swiw:test / swiw:stable locally works for me.

!spawn ... etc doesn't work. should be fixed because very likely zk will hit the same problem when switching to git.

For example current message is user left or joined battle room. For leaving message it would be nice to see where he moves like:

user left teams room and moved on to small teams (+ (maybe) currently waiting x players)

Newbies have no idea they need to go to "Details" first to report and search for the Report button in the RMB menu directly. Report is a very important newbie self-protection tool!

Nightwatch should perform a purge of restricted channels on its own join (in addition to policing users on theirs)

I'm trying to remake http://zero-k.info/Clans/Detail/697 specifically, but clicking "join this clan" gives this error message http://pastebin.com/6wVCZ8X2 (it should probably be overridden by something else so that it's not a raw error message for other people anyway)
I had also tried making a new clan with the same name, but I am redirected to a page with only the line "Clan with this shortcut or name already exists"
I'd be fine with just being readded by an admin, but the error message should be cleaned up and some troll might make 1000 clans just so that the shortcuts are taken from future clans

Can bring up any map.
!map works fine

not 100% sure if this is springie, but very likely:

from uberserver log:
2014-08-20T09:32:53 Handler 0: OPENBATTLEFAILED: No game name specified.
2014-08-20T09:32:54 Handler 0: OPENBATTLEFAILED: No game name specified.

if i remember right, springie has problems with map names containing spaces, at googlecode a bug report about this with more detailed info alread exists.

Not only is it nasty and bad-looking, but also exposes information about server.

Everyone is moved to the planetwars battle room but sometimes some are still spectators when the game starts. This causes 2v1 or 1v1 to occur. The players are found and force joined to the room, the problem is that they are spectators.

Apparently it is also possible for players to not make it into the game. In one case a 2v0 was created. This may have been due to players leaving the lobby. This game: http://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/292308

afaik cl and p, lobbyserver shows a message in MOTD about it.

(note: #19 should be fixed first)

For example /msg kingraptor bla won't actually send KR a message due to lowercase kr.

maintaining on linux is much easier:

• ssh vs gui (much easier to give permissions to other people)
• migration of springrts.com took 2 days, zero-k.info a year?!
• linux uses less resources
• smaller backup size
• fewer reboots because of security updates
• license costs

also we have much more good linux admins in community (imo).

i'm requesting this because some people asked "plutonium hosts evo-7.63 instead of evo-7.65" and nobody seems responsible/capable to fix it. having this on the linux side would simplify this.

.net mostly is opensource, so the gap mono vs .net should shrink over time. also monodevelop seems to be capable to load .csproj, so it shouldn't be hard to develop on linux/osx.

Would be generally useful, as even though you can currently fake them to a degree by using transparent or background-colored text, this will only work on plaintext and not links or images. One use case example would be those posts: http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/9195?page=2#99642
If possible, nestability could also come in handy as it would allow setting up a hierarchy.

This is so they can be examined by other admins, and retrieved if needed.
If you want to make them permanently disappear to save space or whatever they can be deleted via SQL..

When trying to access RSS feed (http://zero-k.info/News page)

Which is strange because opening tag already exists in specified file.

...with old Google Code wiki as fallback.

Code here

After update zkl starts minimized and clicking the icon does not make the lobby visible!! This cannot be fixed in any way and basically nukes entire game to players!!!!

very likely it broke when changing lobby id generation: before datatype was undefined, so overflew already (depended on lobby implementation).

https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Infrastructure/blob/master/Shared/LobbyClient/TasClient.cs#L844

should be uint32, no clue if it affects database / other stuff

instead of moving everyone except those who voted !n, it could move only those who voted !y.
the threshold seems to only count players so you could have eg. an interesting duel series spectated by 20 people ruined by 2 dudes who vote !y before the others have a chance to vote !n

Clan intern informations, password, aso can't be changed anymore. If you click on submit a white screen tells you: "Clan with this shortcut or name already exists"
fix pls
thx :)

The chassis of level 0 commanders is set to 1 incorrectly. This creates a lot of messyness. See ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K@a7b95f4

it has maps like sand castle and finnish flag in auto circle

Basic implementation: have a screen that lists all currently downloaded missions (ZKL will need to keep track of these) and displays related stuff (image, author, description, etc.). If connected, also show missions on site with download option; compare with local copies to determine if versions match.

ZKL should consider automatically fetching and/or updating a selected set of missions (say all featured ones, or just the tutorials).

Basic implementation part 2: Skirmish mode with configurable game, map, bots, teams, modoptions, startboxes and such.

Later versions will also want a "load game" screen.

Campaign system will be left for a later project.

https://code.google.com/p/zero-k/issues/detail?id=2009

ZKL seems to display wrong colors in responce to mIRC-style caret-notation formatting.

For instance, ^C04 becomes blueish, while it should be red or dark-red.

This is in particular significant in relation to Github IRC service messages, which lose a lot of readability this way.

community->develop still points to google-code. it should point to https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS at least!

The top engine version is 97.0.1-125etc but the 5 is not visible. I need to see at least one more character. This is a general problem with putting game and engine on the same line because some other games have massive names.

The tab won't come back on /j #channel because you're still present there. RMB->Leave or /p work (but /p does not accept a channel argument and always quits current channel).

retroactive rights for levels 20+ weren't actually applied

e.g.

[10:03 PM] KingRaptor !setoptions metalmult=0.5
[10:03 PM] * Springiee3 Value 0.5 is not valid for this option
(integer values work)

However, when I run a Springie locally it works fine.

You can spoof moderation messages using "\n[12:34] Channel message: bla" colored red

You can make the admin-policeman your clan icon which causes you to look like an admin at a glance
