Biweekly Wrap Up/Update 1/27

[Ramsey]

It's been two weeks since our last update and as usual, the project has been moving at an extremely fast pace. The project has been open source for only 1.5 months and we have progressed in leaps and bounds thanks to the talented individuals stepping up to the challenge :D

First off, Ritter + Link were hard at work at one of the toughest packets in the game and have once again, made another major step torwards crafting.

Next, Tyrael got basic stims to work ingame. A great first contribution from him :D

Namis had an interesting post with his improved SWG textures. This opens up enormous possibilities for the project later on, when SWG starts to look "dated". See the original post here: http://swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8042

And of course, the TC has been slammed with tons of updates on SVN. A few of highlights since 1/13/08:
[added] armor slicing, decay, and repair via @sliceArmor and @repairArmor
[fixed] weapon/armor attribute lists
[fixed] Action/Fire DOT
[added] DOT Duration
[added] Wookie and Ithorian starter items.
[added] Bazaar available item categorization
[added] Harvester/Resource Baseline documentation
[added]Ticket Collector shuttle time message update
[added] DOT resist skill mods
[fixed] Updated some creature resists
[fixed] encumbrance / ham regeneration bug
[fixed] only equipped items will decay upon death
[added] Terrain Negotiation
[added] bazaar basic buying
[fixed] mails not showing correct status or date/time
[fixed] combat spam on npc attacks
[fixed] increased dmg and reduced kd/dizzy chance on krayts

Those are only a few of the many changes that went on in the TC these past two weeks. It would be impossible to properly credit every individual who made these changes possible, so I encourage everyone to read the SVN timeline as often as you can for the latest and greatest updates: http://trac2.assembla.com/swgemu/timeline .

The project would also like to thank the regular TC community. Logging on the TC regularly really helps us gather data and spot bugs. Just showing up for an hour really helps the project progress at a faster rate.

Thats it for the 1/27/08 Biweekly update, keep your eyes on the forums in the next two weeks for even more exciting updates!

Nice update. Does this mean that basic stims are now on tc or just the svn server yet?

[jat5560]

Doesn't Bi-weekly mean twice a week. Do they really mean Bi-monthly (once every 2 weeks)??

[lakewoodjoe112]

it can mean both.

[tyrael]

Nice update. Does this mean that basic stims are now on tc or just the svn server yet?

on neither just on my programming server as i submit them when they work as intended (basicly) meaning timers and affecting stats fully implemented.

Awesome work. Almost there guys.

[AdahnKohn]

You all do excellent work - I'm glad to see that open source has aided both the speed and the quality of the coding process. Already, many parts of what you've done look both more efficient and more stable than the old SWG (thanks be). I get excited to revisit SWG every time I see a new update - thanks!

[joeyboots]

Great progress guys! Things seem to have sped up a little, which is only a good thing for people like me, who hate the "New Gay Experience" a.ka NGE.
