Hey guys,

I would like to introduce WebRTS officially now

WebRTS is my bachelor project (the reason why I can't do anything for UGX atm) and you can play it in your browser (Google Chrome) for free right now.
The great thing about this game is, that it uses Open Street Map, so you actually play on the real earth.

At the moment the focus is on a small area in Germany for testing, but in the future bigger areas (maybe the whole earth) will be available.

So if you are interested, simply visit the WebRTS website, signup and play a quick round.
(The game requires atm at least two human players, so depending on the time of day it might take a bit)

I would appreciate your support, especially if you take part on my survey about the game.


Thanks

- Alex

Hey guys,

I would like to introduce my bachelor project here and also invite you to the closed alpha right now.

First of all - What is WebRTS?

WebRTS is a web browser real-time strategy game which plays on the real earth.
The game uses map data from Open Street Map and you could technically play on the whole planet.

(some more information is on the website, link / access is at the bottom)



My goal with this bachelor project is,
to evaluate if it's possible to create such a game with and if end users (players) would be interested in such product (game).

The goal of the closed alpha is to find out how well it performs - I have at the moment some performance issues and I want to find the bottlenecks of my code.

That's why I invite everyone to my closed alpha.

PLEASE NOTE:
This game / project is very early in development. You probably will notice performance issues / downtimes and so on.
I would appreciate it if don't try to "break the system" - give me and others a chance to play and improve the game

If you can't reach the website, try it later again. I will try to update & optimize it whenever I have time.
(my deadline is in two weeks and I still need to write my BA)

I think the game / website will be under heavy load soon x,x

If possible (and if you are interested into RTS games), be sure to get your friends as well.
I don't think the server is capable of many players at the same time (thats why I do this alpha stress test) - but maybe it works out for your group at the right time and you can enjoy a 4 vs 4 match.

If you have any questions, let me know =)

Test ticket =)

Hey guys,

the W10 free upgrade will expire this month.

Would love to get some feedback from W10 users about their experience and current state of Windows 10.

I have it on my laptop for quite a while and TBH it's weird to use compared to W7.
There were many issues, like login screen was bugged (couldn't enter my pw for unknown reasons)
and features like Cortana and App Store was disabled asap.

What is your experience with W10?
Love or hate it?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some The Division players (alias Agents) who know how to play the game.

I want to beat the new Incursion mission but it's impossible with all these random people who leave,
can't listen or don't understand how this game works.

If someone is interested, simply hit me up on UPlay (Name: UGX_Delta)

As long as you know how to play and can listen to tactics everything is cool.
A mic is not required (but would be cool)

Hello UGX Community,

it has been now almost over a year since the last UGX Launcher update for Donors .

[TL;DR version is at the bottom ]

It's time to share our plans for the upcoming months:

We will release a new UGXL version for donors around April / May.
The UGX Launcher is compared to the old one a complete overhaul.
Donors can already experience our new Homepage design. The new UI of the UGX Launcher will also have this nice blue touch.
There are too many changes to talk about them all but here is the version site of our development platform:
https://jira.ugx-mods.com/projects/UGXL/versions/10400
It's a massive changelog! (https://jira.ugx-mods.com/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10500&version=10400)

We also want to introduce our web frontend, UGX Play.
With UGX Play you can browse online through all maps and get a first impression of it.
Map reviews and their ratings for maps will be displayed,
as well as user rating and user installs (not available in donor release)
There are much more awesome features planned, which we introduce as we develop it further.

To help modders to submit their map to UGX Play, we will introduce the UGX MapPacker,
which will help you to pack your map properly. (including mod name check, etc.)

We are really excited about the donor release and can't wait to share what we have worked on for a while now.

TL;TR

UGX Launcher v1.0 donor release is planned in April / May to all UGX Donors.
After some more (donor) feedback, we will release the version to all users! (finally!)
We will introduce UGX Play (web fronted) to find and rate maps and the UGX MapPacker (for modders) to submit their maps on UGX Play.
With UGX Play / UGX Launcher we will change our policy. We allow now almost any map, if it meets certain criteria. (Expect a ton of new maps!)

Update for January 23rd 2016 can be viewed here. The topic is now locked.

Unfortunately we have to inform every registered user about a possible but unlikely database leak today.

Our former team member Mikey 'AoKMiKeY' dumped the whole development database with over 192k user records. The development database is a separate copy of our real forum database which we use on a separate copy of the forum for development and testing purposes. This database is as recent as November 8th 2015, with 191,980 members in it.

Please change your password ASAP!

I want to be as transparent as possible, this was the last conversation we had with Michael:

I would like to explain the long story but we have currently bigger issues to tackle first like containing security issues,
I'll update this announcement with it once things calmed a bit down here.

I would like to apologize in behalf of the UGX-Mods team, this shouldn't happen at all and we are deeply sorry to have to bring this news to you.

Hey guys,

we would just like to publicly announce that we reworked how we treat user issues and requests from now on:

If you ever had an issue ( we hope you didn't^^ ) one place to get help was general|at|our_domain, beside the forum and PM.

We are now using a new system to handle your issues / requests and have a Help Channel now for it:
https://jira.ugx-mods.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/6
( It requires to register an account - this is not your forum account, maybe in the future )

Please note:
The PM system is not meant for support, use the e-mail or much more preferred the Help Center.
The Help Center is not a replacement for the Forum! - If you have Mapping / Scripting / Modding issues, use the Forum!


We have soon more exciting news too share, which is somehow related to our Help Center
Stay tuned!

Update 30 July 2015
We have currently a lot of internal things going on.
I had to spent quite some time on it, so the next UGX Launcher release won't make it till sunday.
The next estimate release date will be until 09 Aug 2015.

This should give us a bit more time to resolve internal issues and give me a bit more time to polish the application.

We are also in the end process for job applications as announced earlier this month.
I think we should have them out this weekend.

Thanks for your understanding.
