So, hey Mikeyā¦ just outta curiosity, if you had a favorite place to build in the game, where would you say that would be? Say someone was planning to build a shrine to the patron-saint of their playthroughā¦ LoL
Oh, too many to mention really. But I always had a soft spot for Messengerās Respite, the little lake there. My first big base on an official server was placed in that area.
Toolbox version 2.0 sneakpeek (weāre still quite a ways off, but things are coming along nicely). I find myself struggling not to succumb to feature creep, a productivity killer all devs know - itās so, so seductive because they all start with a genuine thought of āhey wouldnāt it be cool ifā¦ā
ā¦and since I noticed a few Aussies in this thread, I donāt want you guys to feel left out:
Nicely played Mikey. Thanks for the thought. But loving the sneak peak. Thanks from Australia.
Actually, I had a question regarding feature creep since you mentioned itā¦
Can coop save be a thing at all or can there be a separate save for that from your single player world. I know with the last rendition it just freaked out and said it wasnāt designed for multiple characters. Iāll understand if it just canāt be done but I was just curious.
Thanks again for all your work.
I am trying to accommodate that this time around yeah. The first iteration was something I made for my personal use and it grew from there - which led to certain limitations at the core of it.
Nice Mikey, The upside down bit made me smileā¦ I look forward to the new toolbox, and Thankyou so very much for deciding to create it for usā¦
Random sneaky, donāt tell anyone:
This little guy (āThe Exiled Dudeā) just made the trip from Exiled Lands to Siptah and back to EL againā¦ granted he lost his inventory (two indigo and a stone!) on the trip, which is either Skynet limitations OR a mistake on my part. I will, however, go to bed now since work beckons in not too many hours
You go naked. Something about the field generated by a living organism. Nothing dead will go.
Now Iām just waiting for a time bubble to appear in Siptah one day when Iām farming a boss. Probably inaccurate expectations. But Iāll just be happy to have multiple characters in the same world again and the ability to save and back them up. Thanks again mate.
Would anyone like to help me test the new Toolbox? PMs please, as Iāll be needing your email or some other out-of-forum contact info.
Iām keen mate but Iām not sure i sent the PM right.
Well, thatās a slightly disturbing PM system - having the result look just like a new topic is mildly worrying, lol.
(I now understand @charlesbalmerās reservations - Iām not 100% sure I did that right either)
You both did exactly right - but yeah takes a bit getting used to!
Hey Mikey! Been a minute so I thought Iād check in and see how things were progressing!
I donāt think Iām allowed at my membership level to send private messages (unless Iām just clueless), so I couldnāt figure out how to get in on that playtesting.
Anywho, hope all is well!
Hi Artay, Iām sure Mikey will get back to you when he has the chance (without wanting to speak for him, I get the impression heās quite busy right now). In the meantime, I thought I might be able to help with the private messaging issue - I honestly donāt know if membership level effects it or not. If you left click on a personās name, you should see a box like this:
Clicking on the āmessageā button in the top right of that box āshouldā work (subject to whether or not membership level effects this, of courseā¦). Youāre welcome to test the system by trying to send me a test message if you want - I should be online for the next hour or two (and will check in later anyway). (Just be warned, the private message system looks a lot like you are creating a new public topic, so itās easy to get confused )
LoL I have no idea how I managed to overlook that, but I do indeed have that button. Thanks much!
Edit: Apparently I reached ātrust level 1ā today, which is likely what gave me access to the messaging option. Go me! LoL
Hey there Artay! Yeah things are ānotā progressing, though not through any technical difficulty - rather it is one of sheer lack of time on my part. So there has been literally no progress in about a month, perhaps longer.
Which is pissing me off no end, I can assure you, but as the wise men say āit isss what it isssssā.
Right on! I totally understand. Hopefully, youāre still finding time for Mikey in the meanwhile, at least. Canāt imagine that the holidays coming up are helping much. LoL
Good luck, Godspeed, and all that jazz! Iāll try to keep in touch occasionally, or if you need a playtester feel free to yell at me. XD
