I know this is still wip, but just wanna post what I saw to see if the devs get smthg different. (a) i can see some of pengw1n's cards. (b) farb's elven warrior's cards have wrong sizes. (c) pengw1n resigned...and then farbs exited the room but Im still stuck in the screen , had to reload my browser. I'm sure there'll be more
(a) Could be related to Farbs elvish insight showing my hand. (c) I didn't resign, he plain won - so there might be an issue with showing victory conditions. (also, Spectator mode is/will be an awesome addition)
right after relog..Im spectating Farbs vs Lance and this happened... game was still running fine for them, just spectator hanged...can still here the drum beats from chat but nothing else. This is a fresh relog, so no carryover bugs. Hope it helps. edit: reloged and spectating the same game again....round went into a discard phase and froze again. I guess this was the client crash that j-wiz was talking about. meh, no more spectating for a while.
I'm pretty sure (a) is just that you can see cards that have been revealed to the table, which seems to be consistent with what Pengw1n said about Farbs using Elvish Insight. It's actually all three of Farbs' characters that have the wrong size cards showing. They should be the small versions in the upper display. It looks like it's the initial hand when you first join as a spectator that's wrong, and after that the cards are the right sizes. Hopefully you won't run into problems leaving the battle with the next version of this. It should boot you out of the room automatically when the battle ends, and the 'resign battle' option is replaced with a 'leave battle' that takes you back to the lobby. Let us know if you run into anything else.
well, post 1.22 build...wrong card sizes on initial entry for opposite hand is still there. Autoboot when battle ends doesn't exist, it pops up the 'Adventure Complete return to lobby' button instead. Don't know what would have happened if I don't click that. Leave battle works and i can go spectate another game without issues.
I'm pretty sure you'd sit there watching that "adventure complete" screen until you click the button (which should send you back to the lobby).
so what would people in the lobby see ? Like now, when I've just finished watching a battle and idled ? edit: well apparently, nothing happens...from lobbyists POV, that is. meh...
The battle *should* disappear from the list in the lobby when the battle ends. There may still be a bug with that, which I just fixed about an hour ago. It turns out that explicitly destroying the battle room wasn't removing the players from it, so it was still hanging around half-alive.
well well well, was watching a game (dugrim vs jesse) and a 'new card' was played. The screen actually waited for me to click it away ! Then stuff just unrolled afterwards like an animation. I have no idea what the players saw.
I think this effect is similar in normal multiplayer play when you happen to see a new card: you can get an "animation backlog." It's kinda like, well, watching Amy play at max speed. I've also seen the same when I suffer some brief lag during the opponent's turn. I don't think it's a problem.
Aye. Spectating lance vs jpr...one of them surrendered but nothing showed on screen to indicate who did. Only showed the adventure complete thingy, I was like 'huh' ?
Good catch. I knew the ending screen was just a placeholder. We should definitely add an indicator of how the battle ended so the spectators know.
