Starting at midnight last night the server became unresponsive to players. This was due to an issue with the Database backup routine failing at startup, leaving the database locked. The outage lasted a total of 1 hour, with no rollbacks or other impact. The database is backed up every 8...
...and so, ten earth years have passed and that lone chicken trapped in the chicken room learned the way of magery, expanded the room and created portals into the realm of New Britannia to seek vengeance. The Outlanders rallied, forcing the self appointed Queen of Chickens into submission....
[USER=11997]@Owsley[/USER... I think you are close, My theory on this is that there is an overall spawn count limit attached to the "scene" In the case of player dungeons, the Foyer would control that. When the dungeon is first loaded, the rooms spawn the mobs in the order that the rooms...
Patch update from the 20th looks lots better. [USER=11997]@Owsley[/USER... let me know if you find any more blockages. I ran through all the halls and openings and everything seems to be in good shape now.
We have published a small patch this morning for R121. This patch increases the discount for upgrading deeds in game from 20% off to 30% off. In addition a few minor adjustments have been made. Please check out the patch notes here for more details: [URL]https://www.shroudof......
Every year the Dragons of Castrovalva return to the mountainous regions up North after frolicing in the south. Their migration path happens to be directly over my homestead. As the horde passes by, Ralphie tends to swing down to say hello (he pays us a visit each Samhain (Halloween), to help...
Conversationalist use Inky for the dialogue, Our NPCs are using tech that Lum The Mad made. They are incompatible with each other. New tech would have to be put in place to allow Inky (Conversationalist) NPCs to provide items to players, or function as player vendors. With that said, this...
There are a total of 9 maps missing from the Drachvald region. Due to the short release cycle we follow due to holidays at the end of the year, I was not able to keep up the pace I had been in the last 4 months or so. I should be able to get back on track starting with R122 (Jan 25th). I have...
No need to re-place the room. Sorry been AFK, otherwise I'd have responded earlier. I removed additional "invisible walls" last night. (the Deco surfaces from the glitch were still there). This fix will be in the next patch (due to be live late on the 18th or wee hours of the 19th)
[B]Greetings Fellow Avatars![/B] Release 121 goes live December 14th at 10:30 AM CST. Welcome! The Catnip Games development team marks this monthly release of [I]Shroud of the Avatar[/I] with new content and improvements. For Release 121 (R121), we offer frigid and feathered little...
I submitted a fix for this will have to test if that work. Some spawn we're on each other so i just moved them away a bit. That could have prevented them from spawning. As for the bosses running out im not sure what that mean. The border of the scene are pretty far (i know they can go far but i...
I'm adding additional sets of flags for R122 to my list. This will be easier than setting them up for dying. (so you will be able to buy packs of a single color)
[USER=134912]@Cordelayne[... , I added this as issue #71792, but I'm interested to hear the answer to Alley Oop's question. If you did choose the alternate resolution, then the NPC responses need better logic and feedback in the conversation.
This patch turns off the R120 Sales. (was supposed to be done on the 27th, but I delayed the patch to give more sale time). Also in this patch is an updated loading screen for the POT Rajazel. Though it is currently blurry (already fixed in the project and will be in the next patch). I will...
Interesting suggestion! Certainly, the clockwork dragons should have mostly the same loot but it would be good to also have some variation. I'll make a note to review their loot at some point. Issue #71791
[B]Greetings Fellow Avatars![/B] Release 120 goes live November 16th at 10:30 AM CST. Welcome! The Catnip Games development team marks this monthly release of [I]Shroud of the Avatar[/I] with new content and improvements. For Release 120 (R120), we offer bronze and golden threats. For those...
We are (again) planning on shifting our Webserver and Authentication services to new hardware in about 1.5 hours. This work will allow players already in game to continue playing, but players trying to login may not be able to get in for up to an hour between 2am and 3am CT
I looked at both bridge and they are set the same way, they shouldn't be flipped and such. They are mainly used to be placed on lands, i think they can be on object and also water
The Website maintenance had to be postponed (again) due to personnel availability issues. The re-scheduled work window is for Monday the 13th at 2am CT . We will post a new thread as we approach the window to confirm.
Double XP and COTO sales have ended. The in-game Crown Store sales will end with a client patch that has been delayed until the morning to avoid conflicts with the web server maintenance scheduled for tonight.
REMINDER: We will be working on our Webserver cluster at 2am CT on the 7th, Moving the Website, Forum, and game login to new hardware. This requires that Website and Game logins will not be available for about 1 hour). Players in game at that time will be able to keep playing. (if a player logs...
[USER=457896]@Squartbr[/U... , sorry to see you're having troubles. I'll try to help you figure out the issue. Almost every time this sort of thing comes up, the player hasn't done everything Kinsey needs in order for her to give out the deed. I don't know yet if this is true in your case, so...
I think the next update will address all the "I can't place here" bugs, although objects may look a bit like they are floating an inch off the ground if you look carefully in one particular room on the top floor. This is because this room has the tippy-top of a wall's deco collision from the...
[QUOTE="Belladonna Rose, post: 1360704, member: 170253"]There are many zones with them even random encounters that have Ebon and seems to me none of them are dropping maps. Just would like clarification if this is intended or if its being held over til next round of maps.[/QUOTE] I didn't set...
[QUOTE="Isabel Ayin, post: 1360705, member: 350418"][USER=153447]@San... :( I don't know much about programming, but it is strange, strange [/QUOTE] Thanks for the update! I'll take another whack at it. It's not a programming issue, it's an art issue. There are some flaws in the collision shape...
We will be performing maintenance on our webserver cluster starting at 2am CT on the 7th. This work is to move the website, forum, and game authentication databases to new hardware. This work will require an intrusive work window (meaning the website and game logins will not be available during...
Players will get the November login reward upon their next login to the game. The last patch for R119 will be overnight between the 6th and 7th to disable 2XP, the sales and apply a couple of additional fixes. There will be a brief period starting around 2am CT on the 7th where the website,...
