Leaderboards

[vip3r]

I just did the 20 tower challenge in "Lockdown" but after beating it I didn't show up in the Leaderboards of that mission. Also 3 of the 4 persons in the leaderboards have shown more than 20 towers there...

Is that by purpose that persons, who used more than 20 towers, are shown in the leaderboard or is it a bug?

[jeff]

There can be some delay to showing up on the leaderboard.* It should be there now.* Is it not?





Second, the leaderboard entries show the total number of towers built.* The "only 20 towers" restriction is number of towers at any one time.* You can sell towers and create new ones, and that is why the leaderboard would show more than 20 were built during the course of the game.

I'm not yet in the leaderboard, just re-checked... only 4 players there...

But that explains of course the 20+ towers, could have thought of that on my own *dumb*

[jeff]

Don't worry, not dumb at all on the towers - we had to be concise for localization purposes so it just says towers not towers built.





On the leaderboard issue, the only thing I can think of is if you weren't connected to Steam at the time - in that case it doesn't upload your score to the leaderboard.* If you were logged into Steam and it's still not there, it sounds like a problem we aren't aware of.* I may need to get some additional info from you - like what time you completed the game at?

I just checked again, still not there, still 4 Players in the leaderboards (which seems a bit odd if you consider that there are over 2000 players in some leaderboards... only 4 people who did that yet?)

I was connected to Steam... I finished some minutes before I made the post... probably around 14:15 (german time )

[jeff]

We tried to reproduce this and added a new entry to the leaderboard.* Can you try one more time?

As soon as I find the time I will play it once more and keep you updated

[vip3r]

Ok, just did the challenge again (not as successful as last time but at least I did it ^^) and leaderboard worked immediately

[Echo]

thanks!

I just use this thread for another "bug-thing" I noticed...



I was just playing the Lockdown-20k-Challenge and noticed 2 things:



1. If you kill a turtle there spawn some enemies... If you go back to the last checkpoint and kill that turtle again, the enemies won't spawn...



2. One of the enemies that spawned from a turtle was able to use kind of a shortcut... That was the second time I noticed that, both times on Lockdown. It could run through a tower or over one of the empty fields (and was killed after 1 sec but it could take a shortcut)





I hope you don't mind if I post all those bugs here, but it's a really great game and there are so few bugs (at least for me yet) I think those should definitely be erased too. I'm a student for gameprogramming so I know a bit about buggy games and you did really a good job with this games.

[jeff]

Thanks for reporting those issues.* When a turtle drops an alien it's goal is often to go to the core housing, not the exit.* Depending upon where it was when it spawned and where it was going, it's behavior might make more sense knowing it's goal.

[vip3r]

yeah right, the enemy took the direct way to the cores. It looked a bit like it maybe spawned some pixels "in" the hole so the pathfinding didn't work correctly. (was hardly noticeable, I'm using "F" pretty much by now =))
