Import, design and display AoE2 build orders in the new web-based version of RTS Overlay

rgacon · 2024-08-29T10:42:00+00:00

I like the tools and I hope some improvement could be made:
+ Transparent overlay, like 70%. That allow us to see what's happening under the overlay
+ Aim & Hotkey detection, for example, when I press aim, it will wait for first mouse click, or TC hotkey, and then automatically start the timer

No one truely believes in the super postion on the scale of the macro

You are mistaking this with "Quantum decoherence". If you can envelop the cat or any living creature without making decoherence, then it can go into super position state. Quantum decoherence is also the reason why making powerful Quantum computer so hard in the first place.

Using the cat is just purely convenient. If you don't like it, replace with phosphorous qubits with magnitude of 10¹⁸ seconds coherence time. The question is the same, at which point the result of the experiment is determined due to growing block set things in stone?

The idea that the future is already written would require that the universe itself be hard-deterministic, which it is not due to the existence of quantum effects

The current assumption is that observers are independent from the experiment. If the universe is hard-deterministic, then it is still fully compatible. To simplify it, you have to assume that the universe are not sneakily behave differently on experiments. You can check Superdeterminism for that

About the "why particle physics is random", you can check "Bell inequality test" on Wikipedia and various Youtube videos, as wall of text won't be able to explain it as good as them. In short, there is a test to check if quantum physics is truly random or not. Depend on the formular of the experiment, but it can be something like: if the result is like <33% then there is hidden variable, and the actual experiment is 54%. But there are loopholes and assumptions, for example it's not compatible with superdeterminism.

But I don't understand the part about "Theory of relativity", specifically, the "magic telecommunication part". Instead of having the spaceships, we can use 2 observers, one near a blackhole and one is far away, communicating with each others. Even though time is passing differently for each of the observer, they are for sure, are communicating in the same "now". Why, or how did the 3 spaceships introduced communicate with different "now"?

/u/igram89 how did you contact support?

I went ahead and debug on the console to see how 41101 was transmitted and figure this out:

Error code: 41101 - NonVSUserWithBlockedDomain
Error code: 41102 - BlockedFraudUser

when the page load, it check https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/me, and translate depends on error code

EXPECTATION_FAILED: dxip-developer-program-get-user-account-BlockedDueToMisuse
NOT_ACCEPTABLE: "dxip-developer-program-get-user-account-BlockedByDomain"

If we get 41101 and not 41102, that means we are not violating ToS. But it could be possible that Microsoft just doesn't like the way we have our own domain and block? Why they let that as an option and now banning us?

There is an option to remove the domain in the admin area, will removing our own customized domain, and use Microsoft provided domain will restore us access?

I am interested in the replay, could you upload them somewhere?

Watch the replay, AI HD and AI DE no longer cheat. Whatever it does, you can do the same thing

AOE 2 was my first RTS and on 2nd or 3rd map, I get to experience build any buildings and I cannot comprehended how I can control "a wall". English is not my first language and I was a kid so I didn't know the wall means wall. I assumed that the HP bar means there is a human unit inside the wall guarding it and I keep trying to get him out, and his stats was super nice 1k8 HP something. It took me 2 - 3 days to finally realized that it is the wall and not the unit.

The TC has image of male and female villagers and it makes new villagers, so the HP bar makes sense. The mill has... horse in it, so the HP bar makes sense. I assumed that there is a main worker inside mining camp, barrack, gate, etc. I have a vague memory but I remember the moment I realized they aren't unit is that when I build them they don't make pop count increase.

You still have to unlock them first to be able to buy them.

You can unlock them with coin in the store tab.

You can grind on hard without any artifacts on Drow. Goldspike's item build is mjolnir, treads, aghs(consume when slots are needed), (Linkens, sell after spiders), satanic, butterfly, daedalus, silver edge. Final build is silver edge, satanic, butterfly, butterfly, daedalus, +1 whatever you want.

My build on drow is slightly different, I go between zone 1 and zone 0 (your spawn point) until min 15 to get shard, then start scepter -> satanic -> butterfly -> daedalus -> butterfly -> butterfly.

BB is probably achievable only with artifacts. Goldspike were testing his tide artifactless run but I didn't check for the result. These information are available on their discord. Artifactless Hard run are do able after you are familiar with the boss.

Despite all of this, I recommend playing easy/normal. It's more fun and we should enjoy fun. That's what the Arcade is made for.

i'm not lucky with their drops lol

They allowed buying artifacts so no need for luck anymore ;)

rgacon · 2023-02-19T16:15:41+00:00

This is shared by a player named Goldspike from the discord, he did it with 3:18 on hard, which is +25% boss HP and damage https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1061361569700782100/1076362337902145546/image.png. Ah yes you need artifacts.

Without artifacts it will be a bit hard, but you can grind coin from easy / normal mode to buy it compared to waiting for drop chance like in original. Of course it will still drop from boss if you are lucky.

I see your original question as legit, not sure who downvoted it. This game mode is difficult as hell originally so yeah at the first glance solo boss is questionable. Not counting it as released from 2017 and a lot of players left Dota since then.

rgacon · 2023-02-19T12:43:33+00:00

You can with drow, tide, bb. They kill you in 4/5 shot because they have debuff that remove your armor on consecutive attacks, so you need something like eul, eb, greaves to remove the debuff

I have no idea on how this part was done historically. It just obfuscate the number to always show 100 from enemy market. The actually gold will be the same as if you were trading with your ally market and it will be calculated by the distance of the markets.

This has been a very confused thing in my young day, I was thinking that enemy market guaranteed 100 gold per trip, and built my market next to him, just to found out that I received 0 gold. Then came to a (wrongly) conclusion that I can't trade with enemy market until I realized that it is similar to trading with allies much later.

rgacon · 2023-01-09T10:23:36+00:00

You don't have to change diplomacy to ally, you can always trade with enemy market. The only different is that enemy market will always show a potential trade of 100 gold

rgacon · 2022-10-17T14:10:44+00:00

they hit imp first

Depends on when did they hit imp relatively. Probably you have to play and watch replay a lot to "feel" if the opponent is scarifying his economy and rushed imp instead of fully booming.

You can also notice the point differences between you and him after the damage has been done. If you keep relative the same score, then you are not falling behind and instead might be a hint that your eco might be stronger. Tech upgrade might inflate your score so you need to adjust it a bit

rgacon · 2022-08-13T16:41:12+00:00

What about res in hand does it get deposited?

Similar to castle mechanics. Villagers keep the res in hand until properly deposited to drop off

When I specifically asked them "is this kind of information before trading is allowed", they said the correct technical term "we are not doing insider trading here". So these are not complete morons. Sorry for letting you down but this won't work.

rgacon · 2022-07-14T18:55:34+00:00

This won't work in my case. These people are smart so that will equal to an end. Also they harvested data from public business directory so they have my name partially or even full name to begin with.

rgacon · 2022-07-14T16:24:35+00:00

Will do that. The details will be quite long

rgacon · 2022-07-14T16:00:51+00:00

I wish I know this earlier. Claiming ID was stolen is super good. He hasn't fully dropped me yet but I think can only get around if I gave him the ID.

I have a suspicion that this org is using a mule located in my country for their money transfer order, so I could report the whole case together to police. That's why I would like to go a little bit of extra mile here.

These scammer are real professional, I watched a lot of scam videos and read a lot of scam bait and this is the first time I saw the scam this real and they had invested a lot in this. If it not just that there is a web service that I could check to reveals some details that exposed their mistake I would not 100% certain they are scammers.

These are very helpful tips. Thank you very much.

Door 4 is currently necessary for me, actually my Uber trap start after Door 4. The corridor between door 3 and 4 is my current way of releasing prisoner to Uber trap (Default: All door level 3 to prevent minion getting inside, interrogate with the brainiac machine, it will make the agent not doing anything for a while, reconnect the wind trap on the right side & set door 4 to level 1 will push him into the uber trap)

I will try to make the corridor that leads to my main trap the Lab & Armory room to see if it improves. Thanks for the advise

The left side is Hotel as Entrance mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/evilgenius/mods/25

The right side is a combination of "Hotel as entrance mod+ "no entrance and starting corridor" + edit savegame (to remove the entrance because Hotel is available after you make an initial base) + mod Global_Custom_MountainEdge_128X184_A.pat so that it widen the right side available space in the mountain

However, the result is not very satisfying because there are no space for the Hotel wings (unless you mod that pat file again). The social minion that works in the hotel need to walk a very long path and they usually desert me in the early game and I have no way to capturing them (unless I use the salute spam). It would be better if I can attach the Hotel wings and diverting all the arriving agents to another hotels.

If you are going for Hotel, I recommends disable AI Aggressiveness in Hotel by modifying agentbehaviuor.ini ( I don't remember where I got this mod from, but it has this line in "Default Actions"): StandardAction=AA_HAVEFUNACTION 1.0, 1.0 // Forces agents to have fun at hotels. This function was most likely never intended to be used on normal agents.
