TC: Nova Wipe & Object Restructure (OR) Launch
Scheduled for September 30, 2010

TC:Nova Wipe & Object Restructure Launch 9/30/10

At 11:59 P.M. EST on 9/30/2010, a full and permanent wipe of TC: Nova will be performed. The entire database will be wiped:

All Characters
All Inventories
All Auctions/Banks
All Datapads (includes vehicles/waypoints/etc)
All Resource Spawns

We apologize for the inconvenience but hope you can join us in celebrating the progress being made. For help dealing with this stressful situation, please click here (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18882).

With this wipe, we are finally launching the initial release of the Object Restructure (OR). The OR is a complete code rewrite that took place over the past year. You can find more information about what the OR is here (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70615). The OR has some new features not seen on the old Nova code like Player Cities and Player Housing but it is has other things like elite combat professions that are less polished than the old Nova code.

Since the project has finally returned to a public testing phase, please be sure to familiarize yourself with the Mantis bug tracker found here (http://www.swgemu.com/bugs). As a reminder, you can always view the most recent updates to the project on the timeline found here (https://trac2.assembla.com/swgemu/timeline).

Please be aware that major fixes and additions to the OR code on TC: Nova can require database wipes. We may also have to wipe the database to “reset” the test center characters for specific testing purposes. We will do our best to give advance notice if there is one coming, but please be prepared for frequent database wipes.

I think it's safe to say that the later suggestion of celebrating is about all that is going to happen from reading this. It's what I am doing right now :D:D

"elite combat professions that are less polished than the old Nova code."

why wipe when its not ready....?

Tigerfang
09-26-2010, 08:46 PM
Why keep nova? its a waste of time and potential use for the test center ? it doesnt do any thing usefull, and will have to be wiped eventually.

Also nothing ever gets polished off for an alpha release.

If you wanted it polished you would need to wait another 3 to 6 months maybe.

I LMAO to this one.

"elite combat professions that are less polished than the old Nova code."

Umm you dont get the whole point of the name of the server do you?
TC:NOVA= TEST CENTER
Whole point of the server in the first place is to test, everyone got their play time in for the last year, that should have been enough, Time to do some real Testing!

nova isnt a waste because it makes a lot of people happy and willing to play i dont get what people dont understand about this it would be like ANH without it.... just bothers me that they are releasing the game in my opion less developed than nova because master profs arent in... just seems like a push for OR because its still september

Seriously what is it with all of you complainers?

All anyone ever does when they announce a breakthrough is complain how incomplete the Code is or complain they are going to loose their characters.

Boo Hoo. :(

Get a clue all who do not understand what this server really is, Its a TEST CENTER.

Grow up or go play WoW.

Nova is a waste as they can't find the bugs in the OR and fix them with out major testing. Nova while having elite profs will not speed us towards a final product.

After last wipe, the wipe that brought the current nova into being, we had reasonably polished professions, but no one could really play properly for the first 3 months because the server was so unstable and could crash at least once an hour some times, the tests we have been doing on nova for the or and the coming tests have and will make these constant crashes very unlikely, ready for when the rest of the professions are ready and working.

Ignore the people like owned101 who clearly just don't get what the Test Center is all about and only care about playing on nova.

This is a great day and a big step forward towards a complete emulator.

Nova has served its purpose. Even though some people don't want this to happen and they won't feel happy about it for the moment, it's for the better of Emu development fundamentally.

Greetings OR, come on in and make yourself comfortable.

Great news and great work on the progress. I think most will look forward to testing something that gets us closer to a true SunCrusher codebase. Amazing dedication ... and just to add -- I think even the capabilties of the current Nova codebase with what the developers considered unstable / unsupportable long-term was a testament to skills the devs have. Kudos and best of luck on future progress.

They're not releasing the game period. They're releasing the code that they want to work on.

It's not about making you and the 7 people on the Nova server at the moment hapy. Fact is that numbers have rapidly declined in preperation for the wipe. Its happening, and has been one of the understood principles of TC:Nova since they wiped it in the first place. When you logged on if you had done ANY reading before hand you would have known that this was and is going to happen.

I am glad to see this EMU pushing forward and I can hardly wait to see the finished results.
How ever I am a bit confused with as far as why certain members would choose to be stuck on the Nova server when despite of the not so polished profession and the lack of the jedi class in the beginning the OR is like taking a step back in order to leap forward 10 more steps.

We need to remember and be grateful about how the devs have brought up a SWGemu server that is exactly if not better than the pre-CU original. (I say better cause the O.G. customer support was just plain lousy compared to the support we get here).

LOL I know what ya mean, But I have to say people must not read the forums as often as they should, what with all the complaints with:
"OMG I dint know that, Cant you wait a little longer before you wipe the server?"
OR
"OMG no dont do the wipe now! I just unlocked Jedi!!"

It does get rather old to say the least.
Anyway I just want to say again to the DEV's that they have done an awesome job and to keep up the good work!

This announcement deserves a few words.

First to all of the community - watching the positive replies to this thread is what makes my personal involvement in the project worthwhile. I help out as much as I can to help bring back the game we all enjoy. And I'll keep on until long after 1.0

Second to the project members - the dedication from the other people involved in this project is amazing. Not only that, the amount of knowledge about preCU and the game mechanics is second to none.

Cheer Cheer for all!

This is excellent news! I can't wait for this to go live.

A note to all the upset 'please don't wipe, I need another month'. Whenever you speak these words, imagine how gracious the devs here are to just brush it off and see it as "another complaint". Remember SOE. They took every single one of those complains and formed the NGE with it. At least here, in the absolute end of things, you get what you want, as does every one else :)

Awesome work guys, this is one hell of a stepping stone! :D

yes craigy, thats one of the most important functions of OR, it allows faster code implementation on the OR code and its new structure also improves the servers overall efficiency, there is still along way to go though, but for every crash or error we get, we make it that little bit better.

raidoner
09-27-2010, 07:17 AM
LOL, I remember when they had announced the combat upgrade, SOE was pitching it as if it was a slice of heaven entering the game but even before the CU was implemented there was rumors going around about how it would suck and suck it did!

After realizing that they majorly nerffed a good thing they decide to make the game childishly easy with the NGE and their Iconic professions, I logged in recently and they have so much crap going on in the game that it was totally unrecognizable (Imagine Disney World colliding with Lucas Arts).

That is why 9 times out of 10 post NGE players will stick with the pre-CU version of the game after they learn of the freedom of having the skill trees instead of the levels with out the flashy attempts to sell players extra stuff aside from the monthly fee (the card game is a great example of their in game marketing).

Apex_
09-27-2010, 11:19 AM
There will be a number of changes and (hopefully) additions before the OR launch. Entertainer professions are one of the major chunks we'd like to finish before it goes full time, and there are a few more items we're hammering away at.

Tigerfang
09-27-2010, 11:21 AM
It can take 10s of man hours of work just to add simple stuff some times because of availibility of information and references to pre cu data.

The OR is just great, it will help integrate new stuffs, and correct bugs faster, and better.

SO I guess we will see taming and babies for CH like in a week or so...? :p:p:p:p

kidding... of course...


Oh, so we will get a chance to replicate our Nova toons...AWESOME!
(Although I have a distinct feeling that there will be several wipes before we can actually mimic the gameplay we had on Nova....Oh well anything in the name of progress!)

just a question about this... Nova toons will get a chance to replicate ???



There will most likely still be frogs after the wipe so city structures will be free raidoner

What do you mean when you say "there will be frogs" ?
only for structures purpose right ?

ok, am I missing something here?? During the test Thur-Sat I played around with BH, TKM, Tailor, Structures and a couple other master/elite lvl profs however I see people saying they are not going to be in OR yet. Where was it said they won't be in I did notice that CH wasn't on the frogs but it doesn't work in Nova atm anyway, lol.

You could learn most of the professions from the frogs, but most of then are not working as intended, and some of them aren't working at all.

The OR is the new code to be tested. As such, there will be wipes. Often and many. These wipes will continue until such time as it is deemed that Pre-CU has been fully (minus some bugs and JTL) achieved, at which point the Test Center will be retired and 1.0 will be launched.

and to the ones who cry about the wipe: You can consider playing WoW or NGE if you want but a TEST Center will be packed with buggy code for testing, then the bugs will be eliminated one by one until the code is clean and then: WIPE -> next TESTINGphase with new buggy code and so on and so on and so on and.....

anyway I now have time 'til Thursday to unlock Jedi or die tryin....but hey i see many locations that way, many beautiful locations I have to say XD

Ah, yes, I too will tip my hat to the devs and staff for this much awaited heads up. I look forward to seeing all the progress start in October.

I know in another thread it was asked if members who re-registered under the same name could keep their join date recorded, and we were told this was being looked into. I'm curious about that. Another thing I think would be useful to keep a record of and once again show will be the Donation Level graphic showing which members have donated. That along with the join date are definitely worth keeping track of, in my opinion.

Just my thoughts,
Poocho :)

Thank you to the Forum and IRC Mods. for putting up with all of us here and being patient with us.

Thank you to the ECs for keeping us busy with fun stuff to do while we waited for OR.

Last but certainly not least,thank you to the community for making this the best damn place to be!!




If you are really upset that this wipe is coming. Sit tight,be patient. It will get much better!! This is a good thing.



Thankx all!! Hopefully Ill be around for another four years and this thing will be done!

it shouldnt take another 4 years, i cannot give a number but its not going to be that long unless somthing stupid happens, like every single copy of our code and backup and the datacenter gets blow up or lost.

and we have alot of back ups.

For all those whiners, listen up. This is the beginning of the next phase. This IS the next phase! Bugs should be easier to find/fix and the server should run way more smoothly. Quit whining about the server being down or the fact that it's being wiped again. View these as positive things. It means they found another bug to fix thus making the server that much better. I know wiping means starting over, but stop thinking about yourself right now, and think about everyone else going through the same thing and NOT whining about it. These wipes mean progress towards the end result, a fully functional server of the game we all know and love. Thanks Devs for everything you do. Most of us really appreciate it!

reelforjake
09-28-2010, 09:50 AM
I know this has been mentioned countless times before but in my opinion the big clue that a wipe was possible is the part that some people seem to miss that says "Test Center" I'm no expert but from playing on the test centers of other games wipes happen and then you start again with a slightly better game more working features etc. Then you test the hell out of it until it is wiped again and yet more new features are implemented... and so the cycle repeats.
I understand that in this case there is no live server to play on yet, but that is the aim of the test center, and having beta tested a few games in the past I treat this as beta testing as there was no live server for JTL when I tested that, or any of the other games I was invited to test.
Also my final thought on this, surely the wipe is a good thing because as well as gettiing the OR with it's new coding and features, everyone is in the same boat and any new players don't have to struggle to get anywhere because of the economy.

My first time posting here so don't burn me to bad cause I have a couple of noob questions.

First let me say yahoo!!!! for the OR and that I am looking forward to making this game the way its supposed to be an even better. Now when I ask these questions, I am just asking cause I am curious.

First these blue frogs, when we did the OR test they where giving out items and professions and what not etc? Is that how they will function in this new OR?

Secondly, From what I read on here, and my reading could be completely off base cause I a bit of a retard, is that you will not be able to unlock Jedi. If this is true will it be implemented later? If you can then ignore this question.

Last, will JTL be implemented? As in will we be able to get our own ships and all that?

Sorry if these questions where answered already and if they cannot be answered then that is fine also.

First these blue frogs, when we did the OR test they where giving out items and professions and what not etc? Is that how they will function in this new OR?

Yes the Blue Frogs will function very close to the way they did on the short OR tests that were put onto the TC. It may vary a bit as the developers change what is on the Blue Frogs.


Secondly, From what I read on here, and my reading could be completely off base cause I a bit of a retard, is that you will not be able to unlock Jedi. If this is true will it be implemented later? If you can then ignore this question.

Jedi will not be available for awhile, it is way down on the list of things to test on the OR. Crucial game systems will need testing first, but of course we will get to that eventually.

Last, will JTL be implemented? As in will we be able to get our own ships and all that?

JTL will not be implemented. That is not planned to be worked on until the server is complete up to 14.1 standards, minus JTL. The developers then plan to work on it.

Sorry if these questions where answered already and if they cannot be answered then that is fine also.

Not a problem, let me know if you have anymore questions!

Well, about jedis... Of course it will be implemented, but I guess it will be one of the last thing to be in.
just one reason... if it's the holocron system, every other profession ingame must work properly, or we'll never see a jedi....
best example for me, it's Creature Handler. If CH is not implemented and working, anyone with CH as an holocron won't be able to unlock...

And that is working with any other profession, like ranger, squad leader, ...

Bugged professions (at least being able to master) mean NO jedi...

Well I stopped playing SWG a little over 1.5 years ago and as I recall JTL was not truly changed that much it was pretty much the same as it was when it came out with the exception of Kashyyyk space.

If the Devs ever decide to tweek it it some I would love to suggest a "Rogue Squadron Theme" for like a mission instance.

They said blue frogs will be added in the beginning so you will have a chance to recreate your toons skill tree, which to me sounds awesome! We are being given a chance to recreate or start over.

But you won't get blue frogs when initial testing is done. Eventually, they'll have everything that was in Nova back in place, and you'll have to regrind everything again without the assistance of blue frogs. :P

If they give us blue frogs when the initial testing is done then the game would suck, what would the point of it all be?

having to regrind from scratch is a small price to pay considering the reward of it all.

Indeed. It seems like people think that's exactly whats going to happen.

'We lost our characters, so we can use blue frogs to get those characters back! :D'

I'm honestly stoked about the whipe. I know the devs have been working on OR for a long time, but this is the first time since they scraped the Nova code that we get to see real progress, bi-weekly updates, code updates, all that jazz.

It once again feels like EMU is right around the corner.

Indeed, defeats the purpose of a full database wipe if people are saving their characters. :X

just confused i guess.
When i read that wipes can happen even after the or code goes live.
What would cause another wipe?
If they fix something, can't they just update the files on the server and the client with out a wipe?

Well, when you consider we're supposed to be testing first and playing second, if they need to wipe they need to wipe, and we just have to deal with it.

Yea, no point in keeping anything. With blue frogs you can recreate your toon in less than 2 minutes.

After they remove them, wipes probably wont be as frequent.

Look at it this way, When the Devs make a new code fix it usually involves data that one or more characters use.

Example 1: New code made to "fix" the way a character's HAM is calculated and there are 1,000 toons on the server, and this new code would need to be applied as a patch, it is easier and faster to wipe the character database rather than patch all 1,000 characters. One file is made rather than making 1,000 individual patches to each character file.

Example 2: Same can be said of resources. IF a certain resource does not work as intended and 500 people have that resource rather than patching the ground code were that resource is and all the characters holding it, 1 patch file is inserted after a wipe.

Its always harder and more time consuming to patch all the characters in the database rather than wiping it.

Hope this helps.

And now the question for the Devs on everyone's mind... "Once the wipe hits at 1159 EST on Thursday night, ROUGHLY SPEAKING, about how long after will we be able to log in ?? I mean are we talkin 15 mins ? an hour ? ... just curious as to how late I should plan on stayin up ... ;)

Just like any other MMO out there, during a major update, the code is pushed to the server and then it is tested for stability, before the server is open to the public again. However, we do not offer ETA's for our downtimes.

Umm you dont get the whole point of the name of the server do you?
TC:NOVA= TEST CENTER
Whole point of the server in the first place is to test, everyone got their play time in for the last year, that should have been enough, Time to do some real Testing!



Seriously what is it with all of you complainers?

All anyone ever does when they announce a breakthrough is complain how incomplete the Code is or complain they are going to loose their characters.

Boo Hoo. :(

Get a clue all who do not understand what this server really is, Its a TEST CENTER.

Grow up or go play WoW.

It isn't much different than the semi-regular, temporary OR testing that has been going on for months...sometimes it is 10 minutes, sometimes it is 1 hour with lots of ups and downs. The main difference is that the old Nova will NOT be going back on TC: Nova :)

The will have all the features and perks that the original version had just that in the beginning it will not have all the features as they are conducting a thorough test of the server that way there will no no issues down the road.

Though, I would have made the same mistake if I were them and had little to no knowledge about this project. It's a common misconception, when TC:Nova is running a playable revision. :P

This may have been addressed elsewhere (and thus proof of my lack of skill in searching technique), but am going to ask anyway.

Based on conflicting information from different sources (some, with a bit of humor I am sure) being passed on to me, I thought I'd ask the community at large. I remember reading about this "somewhere" but cannot find the information.

After the wipe:

1) do we have to uninstall and reinstall SWG?

2) is there a new forum url at which we will have to register?

3) is there a different emulator we will have to download (after deleting the old)?

Thank you, in advance, for your help.

1) no, i dont think so, since we didnt have to reinstall or something like that for the daily stress tests neither... its just about server code

2) it was planned to introduce a relaunched forum (update) ... dunno, think it comes later? :)

3) see 1)

if im wrong somewhere, let us know :D

They said that when the new site is up it will require registering your account again, however the new database will link to the old one to retrieve your information, Unless you use a new account name and password in which case it will be as if you just created an entirely new account.

If I can find that post I'll link it here.

I was never more disgusted with a game until Soe raped and pillaged an amazing game to the bastardized version it is today. When I started looking up private servers for Swg I came upon the Emu. After digging around my house for my original disks and installing them, I was very skeptical that the game would not live up to what I had remembered. Although some professions are not implemented and there were 12 jedi in Coronet that day, it felt the same. So I say to all the contributors of the emu, thank you. And to the devs I say awesome job. Keep up the good work.
