HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Progress continues! Soon I will have all 40+ areas for lvls 1-8 ready for exploration, including 4 human townships, a half race hill fort, 2 elven towns and a dwarven city. In these zones, ruins, mines, catacombs and caves will be available. A series of quests in each of the starter 4 human cities will also be available for testing.
The first launch will be to test the following systems:
1) The training area and portal system.
2) The TCC revised crafting system and the Europa material spawn system.
3) Europa's foraging and career system and benches.
4) General area transitions and creature spawns.
5) All of the haks used in Europa, but specifically the PC tools, KEMO storage, auction & scrolls as well as Pain't journaling system that works in tangent with the SQL database.)

Several other small things need to be tested, all of which will be listed upon entering...

The server will be online, but a password will be required. For the purpose of all testing until the formal launch, the password will always follow the month and year in a numeric sequence: For January, the password will be...

please leave comments on our posting site. I welcome any constructive criticism and suggestions.
...I am looking at a January 9th/10th test launch, given that all goes as well as it has for the past few weeks. Hope to see you all soon.

I am almost done adding the spawns to the starting areas. It will remain to be seen if the numbers and choices of the spawns are adequate for play.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to bring the server online tonight. I am debating with making the test open to all (no password). I'll try it for a few days and see how that works out. After all, I can look over the SQL database and see what happened, was said and who logged in.
Erik.
NOTICE:
ReplyDeleteI have discovered a flaw in the SQL database; the journals are not reloading after the server reboots. Player position and the date/time do work however. I have taken the server offline and am working with Brian Meyers to try to figure out the issue. The server will remain offline till this is solved.
ALSO:
Meyers has highly suggested transferring the Directory module of Europa to a Campaign format. It is apparently much more secure and stable. However, this will take a week's research and action. I'll be looking into it to make sure we don't lose anything.
...I'll keep you all informed of any and all progress.

- The Journal issue has been resolved. I want to Thank Brian Meyers for the help, despite his insanely busy schedule, he has been patient with my noobism-disfunction... lol
ReplyDelete- I have transferred the module to a campaign format, which allows for better sharing of the server resources.
- Work on the game will resume this weekend, as I will be adding more quests in the 4 starter cities.

Ok, a bit of a wrench in the wheels. This week, one of my University Colleagues is absent, and I have taken up his slack. Needless to say, I already teach 7 classes, now, I am teaching 11. All that means is that I will be a little slow on the building this week, that's all. Progress shall continue...
ReplyDelete...IF there are any who are interested in building, I could use the help...
LOL
