We said there'd be some exciting news for this week... Well here it is! All of this will be on TC when it's online (see the Downtime thread (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20746)for ongoing info)


Crafting

Added almost all Armor Crafting (no Shield Generators at this stage)
Added All Armor Components
Added Factory Schematic creation
Fixed Vehicle Crafting
Fixed numerous other bugs and exploits


Vehicles

Added Datapad Trading (can now trade vehicles from the datapad)
Fixed vehicle saving error
Fixed vehicle spawning/calling spam


Trade and Commerce Systems

Drag and Drop trading is now operational
Added Datapad / Vehicle trading
Updated bazaars to now show item details of each object
Fixed bug where user could not withdraw item from Bazaar
Fixed max items bug from Bazaar


Miscellaneous

Added almost every weapon in existance to the Blue Frogs
A number of stability fixes
CSR invisibility ability
Fix of Slicing window crash
Fixed spice names
Fixed the 1/1 HAM bug (Thanks to LakMoore)


Database

FULL DATABASE WIPE
This is due to the server being moved to its new location in Denver, as well as Kyle's crafting additions requiring a wipe of certain objects

If you missed the big red words, there will be a full database wipe. Remember you will need to recreate your characters from scratch; nothing remains on the server after a full wipe.

Should be exciting! Remember to check the current Tasks (www.swgemu.com/tasks (http://www.swgemu.com/tasks)) to see what is in need of your testing. Armour crafting is going to be a lot - that's A LOT - of fun.

Have fun!

Sounds like a big leap forward to me.

I jumped on the fast train to 1.0 a few months back and I have to say the rate you guys are going with this is astonishing.

Big congrats to all. :)

Huge props to the Dev team for knocking out tasks as an alarming rate while somehow maintaining families, GPA's, and careers.

I had hoped to see medical crafting before a db wipe, i had 250k 950ish OQ avian meat due to the dizzy bug. :)

I really hope the new server takes care of all the rubber banding that was going on.

I cant wait to get on and test out the new armorsmith updates :D

These updates are better than the updates live MMO's receive :p
I am really impressed with how efficient the community and devs are at finding and squashing bugs.

It will help, but remember that the logging/debugging done on TC is the primary culprit, and will remain so until it is no longer needed. Likely 1.0.

now is the database on the denver or chicago server? ie with the denver server being reformatted to change OS version are we looking at another server wipe when it comes back online again?

Nedak

WOW, great job!

Will there be a new site skin as well?

This website/forum is now on the chicago server.

Denver with "our" Test Center is getting reformatted because they had issues with the other OS so the server is changing to Debian (another OS).

yeah i know that i was wondering if they had a database backup or if the DB was on chicago server. if its all on the denver looks like another wipe. and i ahd sold so many swoops :(

Olemo Anamii
03-18-2009, 04:09 PM
from what i heard... its most likely a second wipe... and your swoops are nothing compared to me identifying every wood, mineral, chemical and gas on the server lol.. was just getting set up to start crafting :p

oh well... maybe theyll be good resources this time too

03-18-2009, 04:15 PM
Let us all join hands and cry because we lost our stuff...

Olemo Anamii
03-18-2009, 04:25 PM
I think we could all care less about loosing stuff on a testcenter... i have items eaten basically daily.. was just a lil sad that i spent 6+hours gathering resource info thats now obsolete b4 i use it if theres a wipe :p but the key word there is little... Ill be fine whether the spawns stay or theres a new one.. Ill have something to do either way. :)
