PTR80 updates and new features

Hi all. One of the suggestions that players of PTR server often asked us to do is informing them about upcoming updates and features. We think it's a nice idea, so, we will try to keep you updated.

And today we're happy to introduce new combat simulator that will soon be ingame! More info about how it'll look you can find in our blog article.

Please, if you notice any issues / problems do not hesitate to inform us about that via support form. Ideas, feedbacks and suggestions are welcome in the discussion thread.

New combat simulator is planned to be installed on PTR80 server already tomorrow, 17.05, during the day.

One more thing. Since the layout of battle reports will also be changed, it might happen that old known tools for collecting battle reports (the ones that use "Copy-Paste-Recognize" feature might not work with the new battle report system. Therefore we encourage (I'll also talk to CMs about that) you to get in touch with known tool creators (like travian-reports.net) and inform them about that change, so that they could adjust their tools for that.

The new simulator is already on PTR!

Link to the server is Travian com80

Hi all. One of the main concerns about new report layout was that it's not compatible with existing tools. We understand the importance of it, therefore we contacted gettertools creator and now happy to say that we've received a really positive answer.

For PTR80 players there is already parser created: https://www.gettertools.com/ts…n.com.4/44-Battle-reports

This is a small request to the community.

It is still beta, it will take some more input to get all possible report states/layouts and special information.

If you like to help, you can help testing the current beta version. And submit non working battle reports (as html source) with a short note what is currently broken directly to gettertools support or in the discussion thread (with .txt attachment).

(To get the html source, you can right click on the browser page and click "View source code" (or similar) and copy it to a file).
