I plan to release the update with the new sector update tomorrow morning after our tests, and I will also open up the test server to everyone.

So I'm probably jumping the gun here. Test Server is up and accessible but when loading zones multiple errors pop up with "Unable to load Grounds Levels for Zone 779 (and various others, about half a dozen)"

Just let us know when good to go. :silly:

Yup, the test server is on the new zone system.

I'm feeling a bit sick, but I'll still get the new build out tomorrow morning after tonight's testing, and that will allow proper access to both servers.

Will both servers be essentially identical then come tomorrow? Or will there be something extra on the test server?

That sucks, I hate getting sick on the weekends. That is what the weekdays are for! I hope you feel better. :(

By the way, I am totally lost in what time zone you guys operate in. Right now it is 1 am for me so is tomorrow morning like 4, 8 12, 16, 20 hours from now. :huh:

All of 'em. :laugh: Everyone has different schedules and I don't sleep much.

But... when I announce times they are usually PST. So tomorrow morning will be in about 10 hours or so after a full 'day' of testing.

Both servers will be identical, but we'll make changes to the test server and will spawn creatures there first.

Ok, please check now. I re-uploaded the changed files and restarted the patcher.

Also, try deleting Interface.xsip and repatch. I really don't know what's going on right now. Argh.

main server up, test server down

Please try deleting:

Interface.xsip
Font.xsip
Source.xsip

from the Xsyon/Data directory and repatch.

I'm testing on several machines here and everything is ok. I'm trying to figure out what else could be happening, but it seems some files are corrupted when patching again.

Xsyon

Yes, the test server is down at the moment.

Ok I figured out this issue.

I was going to try to rename the folder and do a fresh install but even with everything closed it would not allow me to rename - Folder used by another program.

So with everything closed, I found I still had 4 Xsyon.exe processes running. Ended Processes. Patched Normally.

Now Im with everyone else, missing buttons. Can log in.

Xsyon
06-26-2010, 12:33 PM
Try deleting the xsip files I listed and let me know if that works.

Both servers are up now, but as I mentioned, nothing special on the test server at the moment.

Did you crash logging in, or crossing a zone?

Yes, please email me the log.

We received a report of an INVISIBLE BEAR were roaming the grounds. Seemed like a fluke but the source was solid. 3 of us went to investigate and we found out we bit off more than we could chew!

Oh god. Bears. I may have to play tonight.

Was this the main server or test server?

REVKhA

Bears are in test server... you can play with them, you can fight them, but if you kill them, the server will crash. They have all animations already and even swimming animations.
You can aggro them and run around. Very impressive

CrazyJ
06-26-2010, 08:09 PM
Does the server really crash if you kill one?

cbowsin
06-26-2010, 08:09 PM
And they are supreme beings!

Here they are killing Rev by smashing their butt cheeks against each other:

Cunk

Yeah, hopefully he will toughen them up come release. But they are fun to play with. Just need a little balancing but for now they are fine and once we can kill them the bones and teeth will be quite handy to bonecrafters.

Xsyon

The bears tonight are just for messing around.

The programmer working on creatures needs to deliver an update, but since it's the weekend I figured I'd just spawn a few for fun.

REVKhA
06-26-2010, 10:56 PM
it was pretty fun and i was quite impressed by animations. Somehow people reported sound on the visible bears... something i only heard from the invisible bear :) any file i should delete ? sonne also reported that he got no sound from visible bears

I'm putting together a bear video and managed to capture one roaring at me when i hit it. I'll post it here as soon as I'm done cutting it up.

CrazyMoe
06-27-2010, 12:38 AM
They are really tough, one almost killed me in 3 hits. :P

I don't know if it is intended or not but you guys should really add hit indicators on creatures, like blood. Right now when you hit something it doesn't bleed and it doesn't move at all. The only way to know If I hit it or not is to watch closely the health bar.

Cunk
06-27-2010, 02:24 AM
Some sort of indication when you successfully block or dodge would be nice too.

i try to kill some bear and i love their animations,i love when he 's swimming.

like up i think it will be nice if we have some blood when we hit or we will be hit.

but very good work need some more creatures^^

Xsyon

I removed the bears for now.

Killing bears locks up the server (because of some unfinished code) and that sets off an alarm for me to restart it.

I need a bit of sleep for now, so no bears until I'm rested. :P

barbaro
06-27-2010, 03:00 AM
Okay go sleep and let me kill some bears after^^
