[QUOTE="Wishdragon, post: 1390778, member: 385827"][USER=2627]@Chris... how can we help you with working on balancing? Is the /balance command already in the client?[/QUOTE] /balance is already in the new client. We'll be inviting a few people to come play on the new shard to do some testing....
Yesterday evening and probably most of today will look slow as I'm working on a BIG task, replacing the core networking library we use, Photon. This is a critical next step for a few reasons. First, it is the only piece of non-open-source software we use on the server. While we have a permanent...
[QUOTE="Cora Cuz'avich, post: 1390730, member: 203067"]So for the crowns change, will our separate piles of crowns auto merge in our inventory/storage containers? Or will we just login at some point and find we have two piles of them that can now be manually combined?[/QUOTE] Probably will...
Today's fixes going into the next "Chaos Shard" test server build: - SOTA-49862: Crafting stations now have an "Only craftable" checkbox. Recipes you are missing ingredients for are dimmed and sorted below the ones you can make now, and the setting is remembered between sessions. - SOTA-72490:...
[QUOTE="KnightRider0070, post: 1390697, member: 55703"]Horses that can jump, and usable boats to perhaps fish and fight from? :)[/QUOTE] Love both of them but both are tough. Horses jumping might be on my short list even though it is hard though due to it being such a high demand item.
[QUOTE="Wishdragon, post: 1390691, member: 385827"]What are the chances some of this will be in the vendor search options?[/QUOTE] As I mentioned on the stream, I already rebuilt the way we query for bulk items from the server. That change will make this much easier though still very difficult....
As I work through bugs and see there are now effectively 3 types of COTOs in data. One for the old coto, one for the new coto, and a third for the coto that was purchased vs dropped. My memory on this is that it was done because some people were screaming loudly that we sell cotos for money and...
[QUOTE="Lazarus Long, post: 1390685, member: 81492"]With all the work being done with vendors buy / sell stuff is it going to be possible to now make so a player can list say 10,000 of an item and have people buy 20, 50, 100, or 1,000 per ttransaction. This will help with also cutting the time...
I implemented this on the new Chaos Shard. Should be able to see demos of it soon, and targeting an October release date for it. Shipped the [B]buy order search[/B] to the test shard end to end: the game server and client build 23 deployed together, so testers can now open Vendor Listings and...
Also, screen shot of new patcher. Uses CDN for initial download, then rsync like tech over standard http to be more office friendly than the old Torrent version. Dramatically simplifies our efforts as well when it is patch time. Also, you can choose graphics engine as well as language from the...
As promised during the stream, I expanded the localization to handle multibyte, kanji, mandarin, simplied Chinese character set (only 3500 characters, simple!) Plus, all text in game converted. [IMG]https://catnipgames....
Lots to read in it, but I wanted to share my up to date work blog. Most of the items are behind the scene elements but lots of player facing items as well. [URL]https://catnipgames.... Screen shots to come as well. Discussion thread: [URL]https://www.shroudof...

this was solved for the female version of this hat years ago by simply removing the hair, which is in keeping with the original version with the full mask. is that what you would suggest?
The way MSFT describes SACs method is "learning". So I'd put in line with crappy AI. Centralizing this kind of analysis as they have done without documenting legitimate software via user exclusions etc. is leading to SAC assuming that all of P2P via Torrent is malicious. Can only assume that...
This is partly Windows' answer to Apple requiring all apps be signed by Apple. Microsoft is allowing this software to predict if an application is safe or not. Works great for applications from the Microsoft Store. Smart App generally must be installed with the OS and then "learns" your...
Changing the deployment to 5pm June 2nd. The Linux build is still chugging away. The issue is that after the build failed, Unity's checksums (hashes) had to be recalculated. Which takes a huge amount of time.
Due to a persnickety Linux build, we have to delay the deployment of R150 until 5pm CT. I will update here if there are further delays. When we deploy I will be online in Discord doing the DJ thing, playing music, providing blow by blow updates, talking about what's coming next, and relating...

I have corrected the defunct installer links on the main page. The installers still could use a refresh to eliminate the patching of the patcher before getting to patch the game. We'll add that to the list of things. :D
Odd. We have a delivery/read receipt on an emails we sent telling you to lock the form. You should add [EMAIL]support@shroudofth... to your white list / safe sender / contact list to ensure they are not marked as spam.
There are two places to download the client on the website; on the front page and in the Game / Client tab of your account details page (accessed by clicking on "account" at the top right of the SotA webpage. I have found that the version of the installer on the main webpage is older and is...

Thanks for the report and update! While people can't acquire the Shooter quest anymore, anyone who has it should be able to finish it. It's good to know that you were able to complete the quest, but I'm going to add some logic to the "secret phrase" tasks to better help them resolve at the...
At a theatre far away from you. :p A question was asked in Discord by Sethanon... [QUOTE="Sethanon"] Rebooted my mac today after some updates. After the reboot, I opened a few apps, and some started giving me warnings about not running in future releases of mac os. Did some reading, and Apple...
The progress was discussed and shown on the last Release stream. Sadly, documented exploits (unrelated to this Player Dungeon room) have a higher priority.
We have placed the Planting Pot exploit fix on QA for player testing. The changes prevent unintended over population of planters in a given space, while still allowing existing crops to be watered and harvested. The Player database from the live game server has been copied over to the QA server...

Another update: More work is being done to ensure the stability of the website and Auth server today. As per internal processes, we will leave time between these changes and the deployment of R149. So the Deployment will now occur on Wednesday at 8am CT, once the post change stability window...
I am moving the R149 Release Deployment to Tuesday (starting at our usual 8am CT). This is mainly due to wanting to finish up the prep, but also to ensure that the fiber cut issue we experienced over the last couple of days is truly resolved. It would not be a good thing at all if we were in...
