(NO GUARANTEE THIS MADE A NOTICEABLE EFFECT ON THE LAG.. IT PROBABLY ISN'T A HUGE DIFFERENCE, AND I WON'T KNOW TILL I SEE IT LIVE)
WE'RE GONNA RECODE REGEN FROM THE GROUND UP BECAUSE REGEN WAS UNNECESSARILY BEING MANAGED EVERY SINGLE GAME FRAME WE'RE GONNA CHANGE HOW SPEED IS SET, BECAUSE SPEED WAS UNNECESSARILY BEING RECALCULATED AND RESET EVERY SINGLE GAME FRAME WE'RE GONNA STOP UNNECESSARILY STORING PLAYER WEAPONS EVERY 2 GAME FRAMES FOR CRUSADERS WISH, AND START STORING THEM EVERY TIME A PLAYER PICKS UP OR DROPS A GUN  
AND THE BEST PART IS? ALL OF THIS IS ALREADY LIVE!

I guess no one really does play Blademaster since it was destroyed by nerfs, but it hasn't gone through ulti immune in months.

This reminds me that I don't complain enough about being rdmed :<

Why isn't this on the server :<

Undead. Orc. Human. Elf. Long ago, the four races lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Horde attacked. Only GodDang, master of GO, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he was nerfed. A hundred maps passed and my brother and I discovered the new GodDang, a War3 player named zebra. And although his bhop skills are great, he has a lot of leveling before he’s ready to save anyone. But I believe zebra can save the world.
 
            Years ago, when I was traveling across Dust2, I was just outside long A, walking towards double doors. As I peeked the doorway, I saw a hellish figure on the other side—a dark green, almost pitch black Orc. In his right hand emerged a grenade, and was flung towards my direction. In an instant, I blinked away; however, the explosion was too great. Three of my friends had perished in the blast, and I was on the brink of death. The filthy black Orc approached my lifeless body, determined to deliver the finishing blow. I closed my eyes, and accepted death. A few seconds passed and I’m still breathing. Still alive. I slowly open eyes, only to be blinded by a striped black-and-white enigmatic player. This person saved my life, and this is the story of how zebra came to be.
 
            I traveled with this majestic awe-inspiring man through many maps: cbble, westwood, office, etc… In return for saving my life, I could only dedicate my own to following zebra in his footsteps. I watched his growth expand with every passing round and every Orc slain. At first, it was subtle; he arbitrarily decided that jumping was the most efficient form of travel. As more time passed, his appearance changed. His body faded into the scenery, unable to be seen and even appeared to look more foe than friend. As his abilities became more proficient, and the number on his MAG-7 exponentially increased, I knew it was a matter of time before we traveled to Italy.
 
            Along the path to Italy, we gathered many comrades: seven Humans, eight Undeads, and nine Night Elves. We all shared a common goal—the annihilation of the Orcish Horde. The night before the invasion, the camp was filled with murmurs. Everyone was mumbling to themselves, and it was impossible to distinguish what they were saying. I was puzzled. If I had to guess, all of them were saying “buy tome” over and over.
 
            When we first reached Italy, the undead were sent in first as infantry. With their agility, they sped towards their spawn fearlessly. In the distance, you could hear the faint explosions and the cries of tens of orcs dying. As soon as the noise died down, we ventured into their den. Similar to how cats have nine lives, Orcs have two lives. We waited until they respawned, and the instant they did, the Night Elves entangled all of them. There must have been at least 28 Orcs entangled at this time. What happened next surprised all of us. Lightning scattered across the skies and struck every Night Elf. Not once, not twice, but twenty-eight times they were struck. None of them survived.
 
            Still entangled, zebra proceeded to ace the Orc team. His bhop skills were great, weaving between each target. They tried shooting at zebra, but bullet wounds healed as soon as they were made, and it was a sight to behold. From the rear, you can hear the cackling of a distinct green-dinosaur. This Orc was particularly filthy and black. In an instant, all the Orcs were resurrected. This was an unprecedented moment in history. Orcs with three lives! All guns were trained on zebra and bullets were shooting. Grenades were flying. Zebra couldn’t heal fast enough. It was as if someone had capped how fast he could regenerate. In a desperation attempt, zebra unleashed his final ability “AFFIRMATIVE”. This was the moment I was waiting for—watching all this time. Zebra’s white body with black stripes changed colors. It was a beautiful, dynamic process that, for a moment, even made the Orcs stop their assault. Then this body became static again. He was killed shortly after.
 
            And so I escaped. I witnessed the legacy of GodDang within zebra. Perhaps if his ultimate wasn’t a complete utter shitbag waste of space, he could finally ace the Orc menace, but that is a different story for a different day. For now, my name is Star, and I will forever remember my savior, zebra.

As a part of a social experiment I removed expertise prints on most of the races I had added expertise to (probably 2-3 months ago).
I added those text prints back.

Lowered ultralisk evolution on zergling hp by 50 Fixed bug where all HP changes in evolution resulted in zergling having 25 more hp than it should (e.g. if evolution gave -20 hp, it really gave +5 hp) Buffed stalker evolution from 80% invis to 85% invis (keep in mind it correctly has 50 hp now instead of 80) Fixed bug where musicians firestarter effect was stacking and also could damage players while the musician was dead.  
Also new command useful for testing or debugging problems.
 
IN CHAT: "/debug"
It brings up a menu with 3 options accessible to players: Pre/Post Dmg, Trace Attack, and Bufflist.
Each option has 3 settings, OFF, ATTACKER, and VICTIM.
 
Examples and explanations:
Pre/Post Dmg prints two things every time you attack someone (if set on ATTACKER) or every time you are attacked (if set on VICTIM).
Example of the PRE print:
PRE: ATTK: sG | Face [ENG] (98 Anti Mage) || VIC: sG | whitelightning [ENG] (62 Zergling) || Dmg: 111.88889
What this print means: Face is the attacker playing 98 anti mage, whitelightning is the victim playing 62 zergling. The damage amount is BEFORE ALL MODIFICATIONS. This might be an AK-47 headshot for example. Whether I have claw, he has chain, he has 100% damage reduction or 100% evade, etc. is irrelevant. This damage number is what the attack would deal WITHOUT warcraft 3 effects.
 
Example of the POST print:
POST: ATTK: sG | Face [ENG] (98 Anti Mage) Claw: 1 || VIC: sG | whitelightning [ENG] (62 Zergling) Chain: 0 || Dmg: 84.32223 Weapon: weapon_ak47 W3S: 0
What this print means: Same as the pre-print, except it also tells us the attacker has claws (claw: 1), the victim does not have a chain (chain: 0), what the ACTUAL DAMAGE DEALT is (84.32223**), what the weapon is (ak47) and that the damage is not "warcraft damage" (W3S: 0). Warcraft damage is defined as any damage that we deal with the warcraft mod. E.g., bonus dmg, poison, fire. Modified damage (such as steves +30%) might not show as W3S damage but it also may, it generally just depends on how things are coded.
**calculated as 111.8889 * 0.7 + 6 because zergling has 30% dmg reduc and the attacker has claws
 
Example of the TRACE print:
TRACE: ATTK: sG | whitelightning [ENG] || VIC: sG | Face [ENG] || Dmg: 39.9999 Hitbox: 0 Hitgroup: 0
What this means: whitelightning did an attack that had a base damage of 40 (39.9999 rounded up). when I say base damage I mean it doesn't account for hitting in the foot or the head. e.g. an AK47 will always show a damage number of like 30-40, even if you hit headshots. Hitbox: there is lots of hitbox numbers, I do not know these I just added it in case it is useful in the future for us. Hitgroup: 0 = knife attack (I think?), 1 = head, 2 = chest, 3 = stomach, 4/5 = arms, 6/7 = legs.
 
Example of the BUFFLIST print:
======= Buffs for sG | Face [ENG] =======
======= Buffs for sG | whitelightning [ENG] =======
Buff: 12 || Value: 1.70000 || Race Applying: Zergling
Buff: 22 || Value: 1.500000 || Race Applying: ZerglingBuff: 41 || Value: 5.00000 || Race Applying: Zergling
Buff: 44 || Value: -30 || Race Applying: Zergling
What this means: this prints buff IDs, values, and races the buffs are from. Here, Face has no buffs while whitelightning has many. I'm not going to post or explain the IDs (as they could really change) or make it print buffnames (at least for now). This is mostly so someone could send us the information if they think it is relevant. Important Note: Not everything you think of as a "buff" is a "buff". Examples of things you probably won't see: armor shread, custom damage effects (shadespawn), screen fading, ammo shredding, any type of temporary buff may not appear (depends on how it is coded). Just because you see your Bufflist and there is 0 or 1 buffs but your race has 4 skills does not mean the race is broken.
 
There are also two more options that are developer only:
Player Info (this prints health, armor, and whether or not the player has a helmet every time damage is dealt or taken)
Distance (this prints distance of players within either 600 or 1200 units every 2 seconds)
These are developer only because I know someone will try to use it to their advantage.
 
All debug messages print to your console.
 
Other easy commands:
/debug off (this sets all debugs to [OFF])
/debug attacker (sets all non-developer to [ATTACKER])
/debug victim (sets all non-developer to [VICTIM])
developer only /debug status prints in console if any players have debug settings turned on and which ones they have on what mode
developer only /debug kill sets all non-developer player's debug settings to OFF
 
I know the vast majority of people will have no purpose for this, but hopefully this can help testers and people who report bugs.
 
Please for the love of god, turn some of these settings on before you report a problem related to dealing/taking damage or buffs not working, etc.
This is brand new, so no harm to the past obviously. However, if you send me a message that shows your damage you dealt from the regular console damage prints and say "I have bonus damage why didn't I get bonus damage" I will literally begin convulsing uncontrollably. Please make use of /debug attacker (for problems related to you DEALING damage) or /debug victim (for problems related to you TAKING damage or another player dealing excessive damage, e.g. the Rottweil Ult bug before I fixed it).
Your console will get spammed by this. I don't suggest setting it on "for funsies" because you will probably get a quarter of a screen of console prints every time you deal damage (attacker) or take damage (victim).
 
 
UNRELATED TO THE DEBUG PRINT NOTE FROM ENGINEER PLS READ IF YOU EVER REPORT BUGS TO ME:
Also, in general I've had more than one person report vague bugs to me that give me essentially no help. I will come back, the person who messaged me offline and I will have a message like "this rottweil bug is fucking stupid." Okay... what bug? Where do I even start? Or something like "zergling hp is broken" okay... how is it broken? Is ultralisk hp broken? is it hunter HP? is it the HP regeneration? Are you upset that you spawn with 50 and regen up to 70? I don't know and I don't like to join the server and spend 20 minutes testing a race because somebody can't take the extra 5 seconds to type out what the actual problem is. Sometimes I ignore these messages, sometimes I ask for more details. I'm by no means referring to any one in particular as it seems like everyone has done it to me at least once.

WE DID IT REDDIT, only took spamming war3imba and war3bug

Affirmative!

Affirmative!

you're still allowing the king of all weapons, the bizon

Remove Necklace completely, add Ice Totem

Brb putting a 1% power longjump on KJ

Let's be honest. We all hate disarm.

I don't remember it being against the rules ever :S

I would be a good race tester because I would never give precise feedback. I would be a good race tester because I know how to whore tester races. I would be a good race tester because im the top fgt on server obv. Another sentence for this to be a paragraph.
 
I haven't played at all in last 3 months so rip

You're a bunch of worthless faggots. Just play the race and have fun, jesus christ.

Resolved.

This rarely actually balances the teams. It usually just re-stacks another team. When this happens people on the losing team tend to leave and kills the population.
Needs a fix.

what i don't understand is how they're saying it's a detour/delay. stop fucking pussyfooting around it and either make it allowed or not, and don't say it's a detour or delay. it isn't detouring, because i'm still going to the same damn place as every other faggot in line with me, except i'm making myself more obvious than them. it isn't delaying because it doesn't even make you lose speed. if anything, it lets you gain speed if you get lucky enough to even get a decent bhop started on a game that essentially has taken bhopping out.

last time i played jb, i jumped while going straight, obviously not trying to bhop, and got killed. i left the server, haven't played it since

Diary Entry 27 - The 8th Hour-
 
I'be been camped out on sG forums for what seems like a lifetime hoping to get some clue into the life of the mystical Dojima. His posts are so simple yet, elegant.
 
A slow smile spread across my face as I knew he would soon be returning home from work , and I couldn't stop the thoughts of me and Dojima together in bed. My family mistakenly confused my huge smirk as a warm greeting, hugging me and slapping me on the back. I was incredibly glad to see them. My mother, father, little sister Alice, and big bro Emmett had all taken time out of their chaotic lives, to talk to me this evening. Honestly, they were a great family, and I knew that I was beyond fortunate to have them come to my aid. Unfortunately, it seemed that my dick was making other, less than PG, plans for the evening.
 
I tried to focus on the words my mother was saying, and the comedic commentary Emmett was yapping about, but my dick was twitching and my balls squeezed at the thought of Dojima posting. He was always so fucking good at acting nonchalant on the forums around me,  when it took me every morsel of my control to not ravage his inbox with nudes. 
 
Those fucking 8,176 posts were certainly not helping my dick-twitching situation any. As with his constant spectating of my games, watching my every minute of gameplay. It was as if I could feel his breathing on my neck. He raked his fingers "innocently" through the the firm, dark, mechanical keys, drawing my eyes to the movement and creating a burning need for those to be my fingers tangled and tugging on his black man dreadlocks. My eyes drifted down his entire post history slowly, noticing every detail with precision and familiarity. When I got to the green that filled his reputation history,  that peeked out from the gap between the websites tight, black, background and those damned chat boxes  my fingers twitched with the very real need to reach out and type, only to be read outloud by his big blackman lips. To feel the smooth silk of his voice tangled with the short, stubble hairs within my ears.
 
Just now, I see he's come online to the forums...
 
To be continued
