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 Messengerā€™s Respite, the little lake there. My first big base on an official server was placed in that area.

Toolbox version 2.0 sneakpeek (weā€™re 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 - itā€™s so, so seductive because they all start with a genuine thought of ā€œhey wouldnā€™t it be cool ifā€¦ā€

ā€¦and since I noticed a few Aussies in this thread, I donā€™t 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 wasnā€™t designed for multiple characters. Iā€™ll understand if it just canā€™t 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€¦ :slight_smile: I look forward to the new toolbox, and Thankyou so very much for deciding to create it for usā€¦

Random sneaky, donā€™t tell anyone:

:exploding_head:

This little guy (ā€œThe 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 :mechanical_arm: OR a mistake on my part. I will, however, go to bed now since work beckons in not too many hours :sleeping_bed:

You go naked. Something about the field generated by a living organism. Nothing dead will go.

Now Iā€™m just waiting for a time bubble to appear in Siptah one day when Iā€™m farming a boss. Probably inaccurate expectations. But Iā€™ll 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 Iā€™ll be needing your email or some other out-of-forum contact info.

Iā€™m keen mate but Iā€™m not sure i sent the PM right.

Well, thatā€™s a slightly disturbing PM system - having the result look just like a new topic is mildly worrying, lol.
(I now understand @charlesbalmerā€™s reservations - Iā€™m 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 Iā€™d check in and see how things were progressing!

I donā€™t think Iā€™m allowed at my membership level to send private messages (unless Iā€™m just clueless), so I couldnā€™t figure out how to get in on that playtesting.

Anywho, hope all is well!

Hi Artay, Iā€™m sure Mikey will get back to you when he has the chance (without wanting to speak for him, I get the impression heā€™s quite busy right now). In the meantime, I thought I might be able to help with the private messaging issue - I honestly donā€™t know if membership level effects it or not. If you left click on a personā€™s name, you should see a box like this:

Clicking on the ā€˜messageā€™ button in the top right of that box ā€˜shouldā€™ work (subject to whether or not membership level effects this, of courseā€¦). Youā€™re 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 itā€™s easy to get confused :wink: )

LoL I have no idea how I managed to overlook that, but I do indeed have that button. Thanks much!

Edit: Apparently I reached ā€œtrust level 1ā€ today, which is likely what gave me access to the messaging option. Go me! LoL

Hey there Artay! Yeah things are ā€œnotā€ 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 ā€œit isss what it isssssā€.

Right on! I totally understand. Hopefully, youā€™re still finding time for Mikey in the meanwhile, at least. Canā€™t imagine that the holidays coming up are helping much. LoL

Good luck, Godspeed, and all that jazz! Iā€™ll try to keep in touch occasionally, or if you need a playtester feel free to yell at me. XD
