[NOVA] Service Now Resumed 1/25/09

[Max]

The Nova Test Centre should now be operating normally

As of:
3:30AM EST (New York) / 2:30AM CST (Chicago) / 12:30AM PST (San Francisco) / 11PM HST (Honolulu)
8:30AM GMT (London) / 9:30AM CET (Berlin) / 7:30PM AEST (Sydney)

For those joining us on the 25th: Please bear with us as the server undergoes final adjustments. Changes such as heightmap implementation and server side configuration may need to be made, which will result in abnormal restarts.

Thank you very much for your patience, and enjoy the clean TC.

[metalhomicide]

Yay! Thanks for letting us know Max, and thanks to everyone who helped renew and refresh the lovely TC. :)

You're all very appreciated and adored.

[Chrillzan]

Thanks for the update, look forward seeing you all on the TC :)

[Seaseme]

For anyone who is wondering why it was down for so long, Oru completely wiped the server and had the Operating System reinstalled. It took him a while to get everything back into an operating state (almost 2 days..)

Thanks for your work oru! you da man!

[deviantek]

FYI: It seems theed/game server may have crashed. Login server is good to go, but I can no longer log in to the game or create a new character.

[PhantomLeader]

Yes. Zone server locked up a few minutes ago.

[Rastama]

Yes. Zone server locked up a few minutes ago.

Wut is it meen? We can't play on TC again?:eek:
Was there a reason 4 it?

[Oru]

The newest patches contains some bugs that might crash/lock the server eventually. TheAnswer is on a trip till next week and he is the master of resolving these type of problems nice and firm. So you gotta make do with me :p

[Ekaika]

I'm almost positive it's /Volleyfire, that's twice.

/pointat link

"Get Him!!!"

Only slightly alarmist!

Take a deep breath and count to 10 friend. All will be well again.

[Nightshade]

Good to hear it's back...thanks for all the hard work Oru:cool:

[Nightshade]

Damn i posted too soon and jinxed the server :p

[Rastama]

Only slightly alarmist!

There's no need to offend me. I've just asked a question becouse I'm curious wut's going on:(

[Sord]

Thanks for the update!

Gonna try to log in now :)

[ezq672]

There's no need to offend me. I've just asked a question becouse I'm curious wut's going on

Sorry dude.

[Ekaika]

There was a bug with a newly implemented Squad Leader command I was testing. Until it can be fixed, the command /volleyfire was removed for now.

Things should be smooth sailing now. Well, until the next bug ;)

[tgifour20]

Awesome work, thanks Oru! Haha I have perfect timing. I log in, create a character, walk to the gungan and server crashes ;) Oh well thanks for the time and effort you put into this guys! much appreciated!

[ngmoore]

i cant create a character.

[metalhomicide]

The TC is going up and down as new bugs are being found from the fresh wipe and such. Just be patient! :) Everything will be in order soon.

[Kayliaah]

i cant create a character.


Simple.

Use your eyes ;)

[tgifour20]

That's because the TC is offline at the moment...You can tell this by looking at the top of every page there is that little box that shows server status. If it says Nova Test Center : Offline then that means you cannot play. Which is what it's showing now, and would be the reason you can't create a character.

[ngmoore]

oh. sowwy me=noob

[Ilipah]

Thanks Oru and team for your hard work!

[Viper01]

Hickup... :D

And just when I was going to buy a speeder.

[mEmO]

I have to ask; where would you get a speeder?

And also - thanks for the hard work devs.

[tgifour20]

the gungan trader

[Viper01]

I didn't actually see an option for them on the gungan trader... I always went to the bazaar and there were like 100's of them there. I think the dev's set that up so people wouldn't have to walk everywhere.

On a side note, I hope someone thought about having an "auto restart" program. Not just for the TC, but after the server(s) go live it would be a nice tool for hosts to have available.

[tgifour20]

hmm i could have swore they were under vehicle deeds or something similar to that from the traders, i could be mistaken though. i know a few days ago thats how i was getting them, the deeds would appear in my inv and you just called them and they went into your datapad

[Ilipah]

Vehicles were taken off the Gungan when vehicles became craftable. All schematics were then removed, due to a bug, if I remember correctly. For the time being, we are all walking :)

[Wanderer13]

Great job on getting the server back up and updated. (Go Oru!) The hiccups are something to be expected by this point anyways so keep up the good work! :)

[Chayn]

Oru is da Man... :)

[essasin]

Awesome job guys (especially Oru) I finally got to log in but it crashed after walking around for a minute. I expect there to still be crashes etc. but I finally got to see the light in the SWG tunnel :)

[Shiriki]

Great job fellows! Never mind the bugs and crashes, thats what test centers are for.
Extra big special thanks to Oru!

[ShadowPuppet]

/cheer for staff

I found some really nice copper. (944 cond, 945 OQ).

/cross fingers

:)

[Viper01]

Up and down, up and down, up and down... This is worse than my wife when she's got PMS!

/slaphandovermouth

Errr, forget I said that. :D:D

[Ayupan]

The server pooped again lol

[Shaiten]

Thanks guys! Long nights of coding and messing with *nix brings back memories... and also leads to burn out! So, much appreciated for the hard work! Don't push yourselves too hard. :)

[Zeo Kurren]

Thanks for your work, Oru!!

It's great to hear that the server is now a bit functional. ^^

[morganellie]

Well done for all the hard work, it certainly is appreciated

Can't wait to log on and kick around trying stuff out again

[Cheddar Chei'zie]

[Trickey]

Yeah, and the server is still down. :( Oh well, so is the life of a tester! :D

[essasin]

Dang I just got back...still down i see :O :)

[Arsonist]

Good work, i'll try to get on tomorrow since i hear it's been up and down today.

[ngmoore]

it was just up for a while then it went down about 8:00-8:30

[RegularJohn]

It was fun as hell to witness the sheer amount of people logging in after the DB wipe :D Aaaah...One day we'll be just as nostalgic about the time spent on the SWGEmu TC, as we are now about the time we spent on playing Pre-CU.

[ngmoore]

sweet its been on for a while and is very fun thx guys!

[tgifour20]

why'd you have to jinx it?!!!!

[essasin]

Any idea what happened? It seemed to be going strong for a while

[Rune]

Every time I'm at my computer I check to see if the server is up lol

Waiting patiently and appreciating all the work from the devo team :D

[Seaseme]

It crashed folks - Fixes inbound!

[mujadaddy]

It crashed folks - Fixes inbound!

Good to know. You guys rock!

[essasin]

Thanks for info...we appreciate all the work :)

[Cheddar Chei'zie]

Ack! lol I checked the status here when I was leaving work... got home, started a new character... then boom! down again. hahah hope to get on a lil' tonight.
Thanks again for the devs work! It is gonna' rock when this lil' project is finished!

-Cheers!

[ngmoore]

Its up! woot (hopefully I wont jinx it this time)

[Pevi]

lol i think u might have

[Caimbrin]

I know this is just the addict in me talking.
I know that everyone is trying as hard as possible to make this a reality and I do appreciate that.
I know that I'm just overly excited about finding out that the greatest game in the world is back after I've spent two years begging for just this thing to happen.
I understand that when I get this excited, I lose all common sense.

When I was at home, the server was down.

Well, I'm at work... and the server has been running fine all day long. :(

LOL

Just to update this: The server went down... and I'm 20 minutes away from going home.

/sigh

[MrSkippy]

Since the DB Wipe, I notice I am not getting any Combat XP. Was that feature removed? Not complaining, just looking for verification.

[mujadaddy]

/sigh
Same thing happened to me :) ...It seemed like it had been up all day long; I get home -- OFFLINE :D

Just roll with it, and donate!

[Rastama]

Hi!

I'm on GMT +02:00 time belt & I cant log in no matter Nova TC is online or note. Pls tell me is it a bug so I can submit a ticket or it's known issue.

THANK YOU.

i know this is going to come off the wrong way... but this is my first day trying this emulator out. and when i got on it was really really laggy.

is that normal or is it just due to the difficulties with the server? either way im still gonna play because this game is amazing pre-cu. but im just curious

THANK YOU DEVS!!! i missed this game so much! not even kidding :lightsaber::lightsaber:
