News and Announcements / Server rollback

« on: September 06, 2013, 01:25:26 am »

At 1.25 AM I had to rollback the server to the state from 11.52 PM yesterday.
The decision was made after I realised that 20-30 factions have wrong terminals in their bases, which would lead to huge damage as you can imagine: people seeing wrong bases on worldmap. As I played this game for few years, I know that rollbacks are very annoying because of time and effort lost and thus I'm sorry for your loss if you were playing in this time.

No further rollbacks are needed, you can play safely. Also, I can guarantee that we will do our best to ensure that such situation doesn't take place in the future again.
I am planning to make more changes and various fixes during the weekend, so expect good updates. Also, Town Control starts today so you can finally expect some good actions in the northern towns!

Note: if you login and suspect that your stuff was lost, make sure to search for it in your tent/base and in other possible locations where you could have left it. After the rollback some people reporting missing stuff and cars but after a while they all have found it.

News and Announcements / Changelog 05/09/2013

« on: September 05, 2013, 08:27:07 pm »

Changelog 05.09.2013
- Decreased price of Explosive Rockets, 9mm ball and some materials.
- Guns & Bullets and First Aid books removed from bookstores.
- The message about other players in zone was made more clear.
- Fixed info in requesthelp message.
- Decreased experience from crafting 1-ingredient items: Sharpened Pole, Rope.
- Added 1 junk to 9mm ball and Explosive Rocket recipes.
- Fixed blueprint received from Junktown Mr Handy quest, should now give Super Sledge blueprint instead of Minigun.
- Lowered complexity of disarming bear traps.
- Adjusted bottle caps spawned at traders when they have low number of them.

Note: Town Control will start from tomorrow (Friday), 5.00 PM server time. Initial militia limit will be set to 4 for all towns.

Changelog explanation: as some players reported, traders were constantly filled with rockets, 9mm ammo and materials because of high selling price. Low base price should make them
cheaper to buy and also cheaper to sell. Books were removed from bookstores now until we find a use for them, G&B and FA book were confusing and reported many times as a bug. Experience from crafting simple items was lowered in order to make botting not worth it (I hope). An amount of Bottle Caps at traders was lowered a bit, in case you have problems with getting them, you should try other towns. I frequently check stores and some areas have a lot of caps while other, more crowded (like NCR/Hub) have almost none. Move outta these towns and you will be fine. This update might be considered by some as a nerf, but in the long run it should cure the gameplay a bit, I hope.

Polskie Pustkowia / PROBLEMY Z KLIENTEM

« on: August 31, 2013, 04:43:44 pm »

Jest większe zainteresowanie niż się spodziewaliśmy, serwer jest mocno obciążony. Nowy serwer będzie w ciągu 2-3 dni.

Po włączeniu gry za pierwszym razem ekran loading będzie długi, klient musi pobrać cache z serwera. Ma on około 5 MB.
Jeśli gra się włącza ale macie problemy na ekranie rejestracji postaci, wyłączcie klienta i usuńcie katalog data/cache.
Po tym włączcie na nowo.

Sytuacja powinna się z czasem unormować, coraz więcej osób jest już w grze.

Jeśli macie jakieś inne problemy dotyczące klienta, postujcie tutaj - postaramy się pomóc.

Bugs / Reporting bugs & known issues

« on: August 22, 2013, 12:45:21 pm »

Reporting bugs:

- before you report a bug, please check if it wasn't reported already or if it's not listed on "Known issues" list below,
- put an appropriate tag in topic's subject, like [Map] , [Graphics] , [Mechanics] , [Client] etc.
- try to describe the bug with as much details as you can, would be best if you write how to reproduce it,
- if you want to report a possible exploit, it's better to PM one of administrators here (me or cubik2k) about it,
- players that report bugs (and especially exploits) might be rewarded.

Known issues:

- Client freeze when using trade in hidden mode. Looks like it's a bug in the engine, so we can do nothing about it for now
- Characters sometimes don't respawn if they have bought the hotel room. It's better to use tents/bases for now.
- One character can buy only one private mine, if he buys another, the first one will disappear.
- Damage indicator on 3d models might be displaced.
- Caravans are sometimes stuck on worldmap in one place. They are working again after server restart.
- Companions sometimes disappear, the reason for this is unknown.
- myself option for Namecolorizing is working only when other critters are visible. It shouldn't be a problem in any situation.
