DMO Testing Day
Today I had the latest build of DMO hosted. Which is essentially an unstable work-in-progress version. Although a decent amount of information was provided upon login(taking up 1/4 of the screen) it seemed to go completely unnoticed.
However, getting past the complaints and many rude and offensive 'reports' players left me; the test was rather successful. I gathered a decent amount of feedback about some changes and new features.
Most of the game appears to be stable, there is some work needed in various areas and definite lack of polish in others. I'll continue to chip away at these and host occasionally so we can get closer to the finished version.
I'll be approaching it in pieces, getting one piece complete at a time then moving on to the next section. Things like rankings and scores/medals are a little down the list but they'll be viewed eventually.
I have decided how I would like new graphics and map layouts to be, it's nothing amazing but it's another step towards completion. I'll seek out some graphic artists in the near future or just try to get it complete myself.
Thanks to all those who helped test and left bug reports.

Kajika you are the man. I can't say it any more plain than that. I've waited close to 4 and a half months to play this. (My computer was broken and then I came back online only to find out DMO was dead) So I thank you so much for finally getting it up and running again. Also I think being able to have the classic option is great because it's my favorite of the 2 versions. Hope things run smoothly for you and if you need a fourm for the game built don't hesitate to ask me. My email is mitchell0000@hotmail.com if your interested. PEACE

The game is very incomplete and not functioning as normal right now. Releasing host files every night instead of nightly test builds would be too much hassle.

Should release the host files, so more people can play........ 40 is maybe good for the casuals like myself, but I know alot of hardcores and they'll play for hours and hours. And they end up flooding the server so no one gets in.

glad dmo is back, but im having a problem seein the bottom of the screen, i cant see most of the message on the start up screen, and on the deck editor i miss a few cards at the end of the lists, for example i can only c one of the pieces of exodia in the 1st card pack. also, wen dueling my cards along with the phase/forfeit buttons are below the main screen on the black bit, is this normal or is there something wrong with mine?

Is your screen resolution 800x600? If so, then you'll probably have to change to the classic layout(Layout -> Classic). Also you could try disabling the Announcement Window(Layout -> Toggle Announce Box).
Sadly classic mode is really all I can do for people with such a low resolution, there's too much information to display in such a small area.
