We have just turned on http://test.weewar.com again. Previously registered testers should be able to log in. If you'd like to join the testers simple request an invite on test: http://test.weewar.com/requestInvite
The changes on test are pretty obvious this time. Enjoy!
i like this new interface alot! I'm signed up for the first game...good job devs
Very nice, you guys out did yourselves once again. I especially like the option to select what units will be available for play. Excellent work
thanks! Now games can have a public chat: http://test.weewar.com/game/1
Wow. Now this is what you call an update. Awesome job! now let me see if I can break it. 
Is the test still going?
sure - and it will be for a while!
Man I wanna test it
Alright!! woo hoo!
I'm there
Awesome changes. What's not to like? Hopefully no new bugs were introduced.
Not a whole lot of test users, though, I see! 
Perhaps it would be useful to have some unit selection presets, which would be simple Javascript to select some often-used sets of units, such as all non-pro, etc.
Wait wait.... first I lost my password, and then I had to go into a meeting...
Will take a look soon
What am I missing?
New information.
Oh wow!! Love the improved look!
Good stuff!
nice.
OPEN GAMES!!!
Just what I wanted
I think the chat (community chat) is not working.
It's all blank, and anything I type doesn't show up.
open games?
:::swoon:::
hehehe I hear ya TallyHo!
i need to add *first to 20 active games* to my list of accomplishments (just below "first to 1200 points").
I'm unable to invite new players to the test server. Is it currently disabled?
What happens if you try to invite a new player? I just invited my other email address and got an invitation email .
nothing happens, it just takes me back to the create game page.
Not sure if this is a bug or by design, but the 'Available Players' page shows people who are offline. (Compared to how it is now, where only currently online players show)
nice, the thing about choosing units to play with. also that games can be open is cool. Not sure if this is the topic to post this, but I would also include a possibility to define which kind of players you want to join, like +/-100 points away from mys score.
Streen: Good idea, I was thinking the same. I'm like "Do I really want people that are 400 points above me to join and then pwn me...?"
We're about to take the final steps to enable you to purchase pro accounts. As this is a key feature of the upcoming update, we would like you to test this beforehand.
You will be able to check out the incentive we give away for early testers on http://test.weewar.com/upgrade Every account on the tests server will therefore be back to "Basic".
apostrophes and symbols i dont think are working properly under names of available games
simply put in a "kick" button DEK
huh?
So is the $4 a month the price that has been decided upon?
Is there a family pack? I mean , really, I have two sons who are starting to play the game, but while I could rationalize $4/month, I cant see $12/month. Am I being cheap here?
Little problem with the test weewar.
Since you can completely customize which units you allow to be made in the game players are able to turn off all units or the basic of all units the light infantry. Doing this pretty much makes it impossible to win the game. Players are unable to capture bases. Make it so that light infantry can not be checked off. Also on pro maps prevent players from disabled hover crafts.
Also another suggestion is to allow players to set what conditions for victory they desire. For example the current conditions for victory is destroying all enemy units AND capture all enemy bases. Allow players to toggle on or off these two options. Possibly add in other options such as Obtain X amount of credits.
Another issue with the test server.
Draws do not work. The option to offer peace only alerts the player that you are going to offer peace but it never actually happens.
I thought the victory condition was just to capture all bases..
then again, its hard to do that without destroying all units since when you get close to the last base all the units they have will be in the way
BUG: The contents of the chat don't show on the Top Players page until I type something in. Then the is shows, but when I go to other pages and come back to it, it's empty again
BUG: Last turn replays aren't working
In IE 7.0 the open games page looks a little wonky.
Yeah, the old issues with IE are all there
&@%@*# good-for-nothing IE!
who is still using IE?
I do... I have two weewar accounts (don't ask) and instead of continuously swapping on FF, I use one on FF and one on IE.
bleh @ IE
I use IE becuase I'm mainly an opera user and Weewar doesn't work too well in games with it so I'm using IE for the games.
Yeah, I tried weewar on Safari too, but it as with other things, it's a dog
BUG- I found that on FF after I had played for a while it told me that I was offline in my profile and the "on" status next to my name disappeared while I was playing
for a small period of time, an opponent did not show up as being online within a game. that is the "on" didn't show up, but he was clearly there making moves and chatting. he shows up as "on" now though. just wanted to let the devs know. otherwise, test is going great with the "new game" and all.
lol just posted that
Awesome awesome. I really like the 'open game' concept that anyone can join. I'm hoping it will greatly speed-up the pace of picking up games, etc.
BUG when you allow a game to be joined by anyone, anyone can remove player slots
Great point about the units. I think the system needs to be able to calculate what units are "required" for the map. I suppose this could be statically predetermined by a human, with each map getting a required unit set (i.e. no checkbox, or forced-checked checkbox).
Well, yeah, I agree abt required units.... I was very tempted to uncheck the troopers in a game I started, just to see what happens
(I didn't btw)
weewar on safari is actually really good so is tangler im using it right now
Another bug on the test server:
When a player abandons game their names are not crossed out.
its pretty quiet there. I have been sitting in 2 games going nowhere .
Another bug
my name was crossed out after i abandoned btw
i joined a game and abandoned on round 2 so i didnt lose anything, but when i went to my main page it gave me the option to kick the current playing person from the game when its not my game, strange?
join a game with me baba

not really a bug, but I thaught I would mention it anyway:
If youy want to open a new game and you cant, then you get the usual message below. Would look nicer if there were spaces before Headquaters and Games archive.
We have rolled out a small bug fix packet to test.weewar.com earlier today. It should include some of what has been flagged up here. We'd hope IE is back under control, too. Take it for a spin... And thanks for testing! All your feedback has been really helpful.
in the "open games" tab, why not have the "slots" column be sortable like the other columns are?
some database issue - that will come eventually. Would make sense
MORE USERS... PLEASE...
SUGGESTION add a JOIN GAME column/icon in the open games window. Save a mouseclick.
found a bug. In this game against madmike I have just gotten to my turn and half of my units are shaded in and I havent moved anything. No clue whats happening, but thought you guys oughta know.
heres a screen shot
once again it just turned my turn
not a bug, but a suggestion/request. i just asked alex this in a game that he's currently playing: what troops are allowed? from a visitor/guest's perspective it may seem rather confusing that the actual players in the game are only building certain units. could the units that are available for each game be listed in the game page?
Or maybe on some kinda popup, so it doesn't consume precious real estate.
Good idea Lucky. +1
Bug: I tried to remove a player in http://test.weewar.com/game/23 but cant for some reason. I tried many times...
anther issue which I believe to be a bug: If you open an open game on the test server there is no way to get rid of it. even abandoning it does not work. I see a problem there as any idiot can open an infinite amount of games and then piss off and leave us with the mess if you know what I mean.
Also, anyone can use the remove button (I think) I just went into a game for 2 players, removed the open slot, then the game disappeared. I assume the host was then stuck alone in his own game
Here's something, but I'm not sure if it's a bug or intentional:
I bought a 3 day pro pass on the test server and I can't access a bunch of the maps when starting a new game. None of the maps with sea and air bases are available to me. "Fortress" is also unavailable.
warmech, that's the same for all of us and the devs know. they said something like that they wouldn't have them available for the test, which if we're lucky, it will be over in a day and the patch will have been rolled out to the official real server.
okay, thanks for letting me know, Lucky
the test seems to be down, at least for me. is it that way for others?
We have taken test down now. Main site will follow soon when we begin the upgrade. Thanks you all for your extremely useful feedback and testing efforts!
woo hoo!!
*rubbing hands in glee*
there were a few games I would have liked to continue...
well, there will be rematches!
how long till site(s) goes back up?
Help! Weewar is down! I want my money baaaaaaaack!
baba, somewhere, maybe on the blog, they said hours.
back up now I see, the "clocks" were re-set , all read "You have been playing for 14 Minutes"
Question: Can you still get pro by recruiting new players?
the list of available units on the page immediately after i created the game doesn't reflect what i chose...
Also, suggestion: if you can't join an open game b/c your hq is full, it would be nice if you were notified of that on the join open game screen.
Help! I purchased a pro account, but I'm still playing in the same losing ways!
PyWee is broke-down.
@luckymustard: unit problem is to do with CSS me thinks. Refresh please.
@TallyHo PyWee and other app using the token seem to have problems. We'll sort it out asap (Starting on Friday)
@hugbrain Money can't by you love
@spadequack We'll honor existing recruitments (including those who are just near) but will phase it out ultimately
@all This is exciting!
alex(woot): good work, rest thyselves.
tx, bert fixed. all the new stuff seems to be working great that i can tell so far.
Have I told you lately I LURRRVE Weewar?
Well I do!
Well done guys, this was a big release
If I'm not mistaken the defense and attack strength of many of the units have been altered.
Also the mobility for some have changed? Jetfighter Mobility 18,6 ? Do I read that correctly?

It's kinda hard to distinguish gray (profile link) from black (chat text) in the chat. I don't remember what it was before, but I think it was fine. Perhaps underline or change the text color of the name?
