TC:Nova Update 9/23/10-9/24/10 - Object Restructure Test

The Object Restructure will be placed on the Nova Test Center starting tomorrow morning through Friday in order to get some focused stability testing. Please login and help stress test this new code before it goes up on TC:Nova full time! We can tell you that it is and will be on its' way soon!

Please report bugs like you would normally on Nova http://www.swgemu.com/bugs

Your "old" Nova characters will be unavailable for this time period and will be restored after the OR test.

[erminator]

I have tried several times during my time on TC to report bugs but my username and pasword do not get accepted when attempting to log in that area, and get errors if i try to create a login so i will just post here for now.

Several times whilst crafting there was an error where my tool was not registering and so had to close tool menu and reload it.
also but this maybe due to the skill not being loaded for testing but smuggler slicing was unavailible, no slice skills were listed in my experiences or skill box even though I had picked master smuggler as part of my template

[JaceBon]

About time.

[BlazeHoliday]

It's a TRAP!

[fixit6]

More please. :P

Had so much fun for the 30 minutes I got to play it. Yes, I consider crafting fun....factories rule!

[Kyrm347]

On my way.

Slicing has not yet be implemented in the OR. As for the crafting tool issue I am not sure what is causing it.

Head to http://swgemu.com/support/ or #swgemusupport in IRC and they should be able to fix your you login troubles with the bug tracker. :)

Good News!
I soo thought we was getting a wipe

[karnax]

awesome looking forward to this, i finally get a chance to see the OR in action :) i've sadly not been able to get on when it's been on until now.

[BigEvil]

Good News!

;) We get wipey soon. For now, stress test.

So get out there and build nine large cities......and bring your friends too. hehe.

I'm on leave as of tomorrow so I'm gonna build tent cities and crap.

[Apex_]

The "Internal server error: no crafting tool found" message is caused by loading a schematic, then backing out of that menu to load another schematic instead. It doesn't always happen, but it's often enough to be annoying. It's on the list of things to fix in crafting :)

[atldarkphoenix]

hurrayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!

[Neo1715]

sweet, now I have a reason to log in =)

[emeecai]

awesome, I have been more than willing to test it out but its hard since it was never on when i was able to be on and never announced so i could PLAN to be on during a test.

[trooperP]

so when this is over will my nova toons be missing the rest of their gear ?

[RagnarokStrike]

Cities now have an option for Porta-Potties? Can we build toilets for our homes now?


Im sorry, I had to.

Yeay for the OR! Yeay for the Devs, You guys rock!!

[Iacou]

Fantastic news. This is the culmination of years of hard work. We all know it ain't v 1.0 but damn is it a big step in that direction!

[Horsefeathers]

when this all goes live....all our old toons will be erased...yes?

[RevNeva]

indeed. upon fulltime OR release your old toon will be wiped out.

[Vou23]

The code. Well this is interesting.

Grumble grumble. atikmdag.sys, I will conquer you.

come on already!

good stuff though :)

[Fauxrace]

So happy to hear this. All the devs rock!

So, will the Frogs be in the usual places ... hmm ... ?

[Bob Mondavi]

Do I need a different client to participate in the Stress Test? Or does the LPE automatically download the files needed?

Sorry for my dumb question but what time does
"9/23/10-9/24/10" mean? The only part i understand is 23th of september what about the rest of the numbers? :/

[leviathen]

9 = September
10 = 2010,

So it runs from September 23rd, 2010 to September 24th, 2010.

[pgsparky]

Perhaps if you're having issues with Mantis you could post detailed bug reports in this thread (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69738). You'll have to be more thorough than "doesn't work properly" though. What isn't it doing, what should it be doing instead, etc.

For what it's worth, moving stuff around in houses works fine for me :)

[angelus73]

I have a problem, I cannot log on the reporting bugs area, so I write here...

Since february, when I start playing SWGemu, my carachter is always killed, I never fall down temporarily incapacitated, I'm always killed and sent to cloning facility, with the following loss of buffs and time.

It would be great to play without this frustrating problem.

Thanks for your attention.

LOL u must be joking right :O

[takhisis]

Other countries do not use the same format we do in the states...

[erminator]

use /prone-a in game and it will drop a blue frog, you can only do this once per toon but theirs one after character creation before loading into full game to use

[erminator]

sorry its /prone a
couldnt edit post

[Sikison]

Hmmm past two days can't get past character creation screen for OR, gets to the last part after creating name then stays at loading onto ship.

[AtonuTragona]

Is looting broken or just not implemented yet as part of the OR? I got tired of making things.

[TexasDey]

I was lucky that I've been able to play all afternoon. Since I enjoy crafting this has been fun.

[ooryl2]

Looting has not been implemented yet.

[ibispe]

Only problems I have had so far is with admin boxes and also it won't let us destroy the houses we placed. I have located some of the admin boxes inside the walls and in one case under the building from the looks of it. I could work around it if I knew all the syntax but..... The hard one is the not being able to pick up a city once it is placed since it takes up a lot space.

[fokias]

is the server stressed-out or just temporarily down?

[ibispe]

I think the later.

[Splash]

server down... :(

[atticus13]

Any crafters having probs with factories?? I can input a schem but I cant add any resources... Are the factories suppose to be working ?

[Arulius]

I had the same problem with clothing factories. It would let you load a scheme, but no resources. The equipment factories seemed to work fine, although when you load power, there is no system message confirming how much you put in. It still loaded it though.

[Avi]

had lots of fun today! Crafted up a couple Armor sets and it went nice and smooth. Well done!

[Kas_Lasak]

I have a feeling this is something that keeps tons of people from reporting bugs. It's difficult to figure out what is "supposed to" work atm and what is yet to be implemented.

[gutternugget]

I have a feeling this is something that keeps tons of people from reporting bugs. It's difficult to figure out what is "supposed to" work atm and what is yet to be implemented.

I report everything. The bug guys will tell you if it isn't a bug or if it's not important. At least they did in the past. I kind of get the feeling that generally speaking, too much info is better than not enough.

[Moakley]

If I remember correctly it is best to first do a search to see if the bug has been reported already. That way you save the devs a little hassle. Happy devs = happy players. :D

[fixit6]

This is not bug report thread....

Relog if you cannot open the ingredient hopper.....pretty sure it's been reported a million times...................

[Testmule]

Relogging always fixed the input hopper won't open bug for me...

[momchil1996]

nise :lightsaber:

[Lexx2k]

As for people who asks about loot, there is no creature data as of yet. No HAM values, not loot groups assigned, no resistances data. That part is not that crucial, but time consuming.

[AtonuTragona]

Factories are working! I'm making some vibro blade units atm.

[Artemis-X-]

Factories are working! I'm making some vibro blade units atm.
had to place them, then log out/back in to get into the hopper the first time mind

Is it stable enough yet? :P

Factories are functioning. It is a know bug with the resource and output hopper not opening. Just log out and back in and you should be able to open them again. :)

[AtonuTragona]

Lol. My first batch was almost ready....and then the wipe. Time to make the donuts.

[Eleftherios]

it would appear i cant use crafting stations.

[Rabidgerbil38]

I cant seem to log into Mantis or create a new account, I think i saw something about an IRC channel that i could go to but i cant seem to find that post anymore and a quick search led me nowhere, if anyone can help guide me to where I need to go to resolve this I would really appreciate it.

anyways the only bug other than a little bit of hopper access issues I've had is, that I wont receive tickets at the starport in Mos Eisley. It still takes my credits and gives me the message that says I finished the transaction, i just don't receive the ticket so the ticket collector wont let me fly.

[Supa]

They said they were having database issues. I was able to register a couple of days ago and have it work, but with a long SQL error following. :/

[CFHinLA]

Is foraging part of the "loot" system? I want very badly to fish but cant seem to get more bait. Any suggestions would be great. I tried begging in Cnet but no one would cough up extra bait.

[Rabidgerbil38]

Well at least I know it's not just me then xD

Is there anywhere else I can report bugs, or do we just have to wait until mantis is up and running again?

Not that I'm aware of. :/ Registering on Mantis really should be mandatory when you register on the forums.

I can't download the data to a crafting session from my data pad, specifically the high tech camp schematic. I have relogged and still no luck.

[Eleftherios]

I cant get any neutronium steel.

[ibispe]

I had one thing I noticed and wondering if anyone remembers. I made a bunch of backpacks to put on the wall for resources. I THOUGHT I remembered being able to label them back in the day. Was that for ALL backpack types or only certain ones? Wondering if this is a bug or not.

Also, placed a solar generator at a place that was supposedly 82%, put it down and turned it on and went to select something from the hopper and page was blank. Surveyed again and double checked and then sampled, and yes it was there and it was good stuff. Had to open and close hoppers on a couple as it would not let me take the stuff in there, so closed the box and reopened and suddenly it let me take it. I did notice too that the large ones were not holding too many resources. Seemed I remember seeing capacity at only 10k, is that correct? I cannot check it now as it is offline but... just wondering.

Still having a problem with the structure boxes. I did seem to notice that large generic style 2 is having a problem with that. I placed another today and found it in the same spot as the day before, which appears to be underneath the structure. The regular one, Large Generic house, was just fine.

I also noticed that I totally turned off all the building waypoints except a couple, but every time I logged back in, it had them turned back on. I finally deleted them.

I also had some troubles loading some patterns into the crafter, I put it down to lag and I exited and retried and it worked.

My merchant tents placed and everything seemed to work on those but could not get vendors to put in them to see if those worked as well.

City terminals did not seem to be working at least as I could see unless I was doing something wrong.

Got my factories placed but ran out of time for trying them out.

I so hope this will be put into game soon. This will make a HUGE difference in how we all play the game and I believe will bring in some new people.

[ddp]

the OR is cheapo its easy i like the other nova better

[trooperP]

i wish youd either leave the OR up all day ( some of us work during the day ) or bring nova back up for the evening?

so far i got to test the OR for about 45 min ..

[fixit6]

Guess people just don't want to see the emu be completed or close to it....and think "Nova" is a permanent, fully functional game with all the features....

TC stands for?

[ibispe]

Well, not nearly all the features. A lot of things missing yet and will take some time to work them out. Just need some patience around here and it will eventually pan out. I don't want them being rushed into putting out inferior stuff because people are badgering them. They are doing an awesome job and need to be commended for what they are doing.

[HoseHead]

They left the OR up for two days soon enough it will go up full time.

[trooperP]

They left the OR up for two days soon enough it will go up full time.

you mean the early afternoon of 2 days ? wasnt up last night .. isnt up now ... did you even read my post ?

some of you are so interested in flaming each other i dont think you even READ the posts ...

[Arulius]

I think some people are being too negative about the status of the OR. It does "seem" like alot of work still needs to be done, but not knowing much about coding, makes that assumption flawed.
If you saw a car that was up on cinder blocks with no tires, the interior missing, and the motor needing a new fuel injection. You would "think" that it would take awhile to fix the car, or that the car is junk. In actuality, once you get the fuel injection working to were it's runnable, the rest of the work isn't that hard or time consuming to get the car back on the road. You tackle the hard parts first, then move on to the easy parts. The Devs already said that some of the bugs they know about, are not that big of a priority right now. I think this is the case.
If you remember last April when we had that wipe poll, it was stated that the OR could be 6 months or more away. To think it's only been 5 months and we are testing the OR says alot.

[fixit6]

some of you are so interested in flaming each other i dont think you even READ the posts ...

On the same token, look up the word deadlock....

That's what has most likely happened. This recent 'tests' are to find problems with the code that eventually lead to the server going down. These need to be found and dealt with for stability so that it can be left up longer. This requires us to log on and do things while we can.

[fixit6]

p.s. the server can only be reset physically by TheAnswer who is in charge of the hardware. More than likely he and other coders would review the logs to see WHAT took down the server and try to correct it. Btw....TC is based in Europe and subsequently time is based around that.

[nitan]

Im kinda happy this error took place while in stress test, which means it can possibly fixed and theirfore wont appear again :)

Go Dev-Team Goooo! :emperor:

[NephilimNexus]

Didn't get to spend much time online during these updates but I must say that I was impressed. Many, many tiny & annoying bugs seemed to vanish overnight.

[whitepawrolls]

Did they decide to extend testing to saturday? I was on this mornign to regular nova, it did a shutdown, and now we are back to OR testing again.

[HalleKenobi]

yeah i was on and it seemed like it was still testing. it was weird, it was like everyone had their characters but me......

[EVILJUDE]

wrong password? hmmmm

[Ellyssia]

Actually fixit, the game server is in Denver, the Forums server is in Chicago, but the Devs that can actually reset the server are in Europe ;)

[Canabil]

so, any news on if they extended the testing or whats up?

[HoseHead]

I don't know what time zone your in but it didn't go down until late at night west coast time and was up at 11am or so until pretty late the next day west coast time.

The server inst 100% stable that is one of the things we are helping to work out.

Did you even read my post it wasn't a flame it was a statement of fact that they left OR up for 2 days (yes there is downtime it happens)

[Canabil]

It's actually just now 11am here. Was only wondering. Only said for 23/24.

[Vlada]
