FFA League Pack Bug Reports & Dev Thread

We are now crowdsourcing the design of the new FFA League Pack to you, the Myth Community!
Looking forward to this coming Autumn's ffa league I am trying to compile bug reports, proposed trades (or reversions to the original trade), and possibly better flag positioning for all ffa league maps.
Ideally I'd like each mesh to have a classic light & dark mesh and one shadow mesh open to a little more (but not too much) experimentation. I'd also like optimal flag placement for kotm.
When posting trade suggestions, please limit your response to
(a) the mesh,
(b) the old trade
(c) your proposed trade.
If you'd like include your rationale/critique afterwards. Same format goes for flag placement (mesh, old placement, new placement).
When posting bug reports, include the mesh(es), the nature of the bug, and if possible a film of the bug.
We already know about wiggleballs, they were unintentional and will be removed.

Just dont let Zak ruin GREAT maps with lame trades anymore...and you cant fail!
I think the KILLER APP, is having to DL just ONE plugin and you get a fucktonn of maps. Just keep them the way their CREATORS intended!

Ren this is not a constructive comment. Please post in the format requested i.e. with a specific mesh & a specific trade.

O its very constructive! DO not ruin the maps with oddball trades and you will be filled with WIN!
I like your idea of light, dark, and a mixed trade for each map.
Do not worry about the plugin size! Its 2013 afteral!

TBH a zip file fulfills this just as well and avoids the silliness of not being able to play if you have the stand-alone plugin with people that have the "combined" one. IMHO map packs are only interesting if you're modifying *something* about the map (trade or modes or otherwise).

For most of the maps in the pack it is a moot point as they are taken from conversions like TSG and Bushido. What I would like is 2 classic
style trades per map + more innovative "shadow" mesh. The reason to keep some OG trades is so that we can have many, many ffa maps + new trades and old trades without having to switch plugins and lose players.
In any case I really wanted this thread to be bug reports and
concrete trade suggestions, if people could please focus, this is not a philosophy of plugin making class damnit.

Ari Na Senshi (Killing Grounds)
Cannonballs are overpowered, please remove or substitute for regular mortballs at least for koth.
Whirlwind (Dwarf Riot)
Dwarven Knaves are bugged and can stab from a distance. In general I would prefer to remove the "dwarf riot" meshes, they aren't very fun and nobody ever wants to play them.
A Place to Stand (all meshes)
The weird Jinn ball on stb doesn't change color when different players possess or contest it.

Blacken My Eye (Light)
People were reporting still having % and thus not being eliminated even after losing all their units.
Also, the trade is fun but I think this trade should become the "shadow" mesh, with a more classic light set substituted.

Snowfight (Light)
Dwarven ghosts dont change color for team/player & their animation when they cross deep water is bugged. We understood that the ghosts are to balance the minions, but is it really necessary to include both dwarven ghosts and regular dwarves? Just ghosts would be find provided the above problems are fixed.
Raisin Barn (Light)
Change the current light UT to "shadow," restore the original light trade
Wasteland
Elevation problem: camera too close
The Sun's Anvil
Elevation problem: camera too close
The Ritual Site
High pitched sound over volcanoes
Leagues from Nowhere (Light)
Change to original UT, move current light UT to shadow.

Hey Milk good stuff. I would like to contribute but my ffa map knowledge is fairly limited. If you see me online and not afk I would be keen to test run a few possibilities with you or something. I would really like to get into some ffa tourney action this year - every other year I seem to struggle to get invlolved due to aussie timezone issues.

Belly of the Beast
Map too dark, hard to see black units / spears etc, lighten colormap a bit.
Also, you can sink spids in lava, lava should do dmg like fire.

River of Life
Instead of adding a "shadow" mesh, add River of Gold with the following dark UT (basically a modified spiderweb):
Dwarves 2/3
Mauls 3/6
Skels 8/16
Fetch 1/1
Soulless 4/6
Wasps 2/6
+ 2 free wights
River of Gold Light trade TBA

Note to self:
Look into lich fire circles not doing damage to thrall/souls
Also see if a monster flag is the reason icicles disappear when they hit liches

Looks like the fir bolg are broken, so avoid playing maps with them on it for now. Tag ID conflict makes it so their arrows create explosions.

I'll probably be on at random times this weekend testing this with whoever is willing... and there will be a pre-season ffa league this coming wednesday to test the pack that I will announce shortly.

Wasteland (basilik)
Basilik can use stoning breath twice not once, as advertised in the flavor
Leagues from Nowhere
I like the trades but could you also make a Leagues from Nowhere (OG) option?
Titus Groan
The light mesh is missing for some reason (I actually like your version with fire instead of fever arrows better by the way)
Sleepy Hollow (OG)
The pregame graphic is missing

Also thanks for restoring the OG UTs on some of the maps... but I really did mean for you to leave your more successful experiments as additional 'shadow' meshes.
Did you mean to change all archers into firbolg? I think you might have gotten a bit carried away in this respect.

On some maps a horse is randomly standing amongst my units and on others I hear a horse neighing when units die... wtf lol

Titus Groan has 3 meshes, 2 of them had the same name so neither was visible. In the next version there will be a light, dark, and OG version.
What units make the horse noises? I'm trying to pinpoint the exact problem.
I don't feel like there are too many fir'bolg on maps, the game will play pretty similar once they've been fixed.

What maps have the horse standing randomly amongst your units? The snowy version of raid?

I think it was the snowy version of raid yes. I'd like to see normal arcs reverted-to on Tokkun.

Snows on the Wester Plain
Spid queens freeze (should be immune to freeze) and go neutral (blue) when red damaged.

Fixed the freeze. Does the unit go berserk, or does it just stand still and not attack anything when it goes blue?

Why? Normal arcs are far less useful on that map than firbolg

Looked into Adrenaline's complaint about a bug with the basilisk on pirates (dark). I watched the films and he successfully freezes a fetch on his first charge, then 2 dwarves on his second charge. Then, without any ammo remaining in his basilisk he charges 2 dwarves and dies. No bug there.

So you are saying you can only use the special twice? why the fuck does it have a mana bar then?? Would have been good to know before we played 2 maps in a row with that unit. I charged the 2 dorfs because i was trying to freeze them... every time it didnt work I just assumed mana hadn't quite recharged enough yet.

Dude the two charges are listed... the special is also dependent on mana which is why there is a mana bar... and the instructions on the unit are even in the flavor text...
