The new official AoS Community Site

Ace of Spades: Battle Builder - Shauny

Hello everyone, we've just released the new Community Site below is a list of everything you can do on there.

First of all is the change of Forum Software, we have moved from ‘vBulletin’ to ‘Invision Power Board’, the change was decided because we believe it will allow us to provide a better service to you guys through a more flexible platform that we can manage ourselves. It has also allowed us to utilise plugins that will add much desired features.

Community Home added. The new number one destination for all of your community needs!
Featured News
Community News
Community links & Fan Pack
A dedicated area which will highlight Community Creations
Latest Activity – find out what’s going on via this Calendar feed
Current Hot Topics
Ace of Spades TV – The best video content from our community video makers
Staff updates/statuses

Clans - For Clans we have added a dedicated ‘Clan HQ’ which will be the hub for clan pages providing a much needed home within the community.

This will allow Clans to post as if it was their own Forum
Ranks can also be assigned to each member of a clan so a ‘Chain of Command’ can be established
Through customisation Clans can now develop their own identity
Recruitment applications can be managed through the closed group settings & your own recruit/application forum
We want to cater for the full range of clans; casual/social, creative, and competitive clans, so each clan can easily identify themselves as such.

Blogs

Home of the Community News Team

Featured Blogs – If you have an idea for an interesting Ace of Spades Blog then you can pitch it to us for the chance to get your own blog or a group blog. So get your thinking caps on!
The entire Forum Index has been revamped also, providing a modern, sleek and much cleaner layout.
The top level of the forums has been cut down to just three categories so you won’t have to scroll as much, and can find what you need quickly.

[/u]Coming soon[/u]

A massive upcoming feature is our ability to ‘Self-host’ a variety of different competitive activities right here on the site, we will be putting this system to good use very soon with a fun Ace of Spades Cup for teams to participate in.

This will finally allow for the much requested clan ladder our Clan Ambassadors, leaders, and members have been dreaming of
Both player run and officially run headline tournaments are now possible
Anyone can register a team regardless of whether they are in a clan or not. So gather your closest friends and prepare for war!

We will be actively checking for any noticeable bugs that may cause an issue, and improving the site over time, but feel free to give us feedback over in the feedback forum.

We hope you enjoy the new Ace of Spades Community home, and here’s to 2014!

Sally, Chris & Shaun

Battle Builder Public Beta Update Notes!

Ace of Spades: Battle Builder - MrCrispy

Update Highlights

Map Editor Now Available
Steam Workshop Integration
Full Server Browser Has Returned!
St Valentine’s Day Massacre DLC Now Free for All
100’s of Bug Fixes & Minor Improvements

Votekick Update
Votekick has been tweaked to try and reduce abuse of the feature.

Any player can initiate a votekick, however, now only players on the same team as the player subject to a kick vote can vote on whether they should be removed from the game or not. This should still allow players who are griefing their team mates or obviously abusing a glitch to be kicked whilst making it harder for players who are simply good at the game to be booted out.

The function keys for voting yes or no have been changed. F1 is now "No" and F2 "Yes".
The host of a custom game can kick any player from their game. However, this only applies to the original host for the game, if that host leaves this privilege will be lost!
The host of a custom match cannot be targeted to be kicked from the match.
In VIP mode if the VIP is kicked, for any reason, another VIP should be selected from the remaining members of their team.

Known Issues

Server Auto balancing Over-rules Custom Match Settings
Several functionality issues with the new Votekick system

Patch Notes

Fixed a lobby issue whereby changing the Max Players whilst a player joins could cause the player to ghost and break the lobby.
