(12/03 21:20:04) Rock Ardemar: What will happen with the old site?
(12/03 21:20:09) Hawu Meninp: -r +.org
(12/03 21:20:18) Trekluver: nothing at this time.
(12/03 21:20:33) TomVal: Does this mean newgreeters are open for new members? If so, it’s really great
(12/03 21:20:33) GoMeLeonardo: Arggh, please wait for your turn to ask questions and PM me to get in the queue
(12/03 21:20:39) Kayess: Old site is still a good resource for walkthroughs etc
(12/03 21:20:48) Gardonis: Yes
(12/03 21:20:54) Itsnot Mee: sorry Leo my bad.
(12/03 21:21:10) Rock Ardemar: sorry Leo (blush)
(12/03 21:21:18) Alien: the old site is a good resource for spoilers
(12/03 21:21:24) GoMeDoobes: Don’t worry. It’s his way of keeping it orderly. 😉
(12/03 21:21:28) Trekluver: Yes! New greeters are welcome. As of now I’m the only one. I’m also extending my offer to old greeters if they would like to join again.
(12/03 21:21:49) GoMeDoobes: Wouldn’t be GoG without ural. LOL!
(12/03 21:21:52) GoMeDoobes: 😉
(12/03 21:21:56) Rock Ardemar: haha
(12/03 21:22:04) Kayess: It sure wouldn’t
(12/03 21:22:06) GoMeAgeExplorer: LOL
(12/03 21:22:07) Rock Ardemar rofls
(12/03 21:22:11) Annabelle: What about the old GoG shirt?
(12/03 21:22:26) Trekluver: The GoG is really the fan’s guild so I’d like to re-establish that here.
(12/03 21:22:38) GoMeDoobes: Excellent.
(12/03 21:22:39) Trekluver: Yes, we will be using the old GoG shirts.
(12/03 21:22:42) Trekluver: but…
(12/03 21:22:47) GoMe_Luna(nne): uhm the GoG was the only Cyan started guild
(12/03 21:23:07) GoMeLeonardo: (ubisoft started the GoG IIRC)
(12/03 21:23:13) Gardonis: Will people be required to be in cavern at certain times?
(12/03 21:23:17) Trekluver: I’m going to ask diafero about making a new one for deep island shard using our new logo. Which is on the forum now btw.
(12/03 21:23:19) TomVal is visiting forums for newgreeters signup requirements
(12/03 21:23:29) GoMe_Luna(nne): (that is what I meant :P))
(12/03 21:23:32) GoMeLeonardo: Alien is the next one for questions
(12/03 21:23:38) Alien: Why not try to restart the current GoG instead of creating a new one?
(12/03 21:23:44) Trekluver: No, people can come and go when they can; with teh exception of them greeting at least once a week.
(12/03 21:23:45) adi wonders if there will be a greeters war now~~
(12/03 21:24:04) Trekluver: This is a restart Alien. Just not using the old site.
(12/03 21:24:09) Trekluver: or name.
(12/03 21:24:14) GoMe_Luna(nne): the current GoG does not allowe new members
(12/03 21:24:17) Gardonis: That sounds sensible.
(12/03 21:24:29) Trekluver: Exactally.
(12/03 21:24:37) Trekluver: they never isit the cavern either.
(12/03 21:24:43) GoMeDoobes nods
(12/03 21:24:50) GoMe_Luna(nne): the /leadership/ does not
(12/03 21:24:52) Gardonis: kind of a shortcoming 🙂
(12/03 21:24:53) t’alisme: really?
(12/03 21:24:59) Trekluver: This was the primary reason to go forward after talking with dadguy.
(12/03 21:25:31) GoMeLeonardo: next one is J’Kla
(12/03 21:25:47) J’Kla: new hood or just using the old one
(12/03 21:25:49) Trekluver: Dadguy was a former greeter but he got fed up with the established leadership, that did not lead, and the griping that was going on at the time
(12/03 21:26:02) Trekluver: Just a few more questions, got to go.
(12/03 21:26:05) Kayess knew him
(12/03 21:26:22) Gardonis: GoG should station people at all the main City locations. At least.
(12/03 21:26:38) GoMe_Luna(nne): the orginal greeter tshirt is still available btw, just not enabled for anyone else than internal clients(I think)
(12/03 21:26:40) Trekluver: I plan on it.
(12/03 21:27:01) GoMeDoobes: Eh, just go with the Kirel shirts then. Much easier. 😉
(12/03 21:27:01) Trekluver: Nope, it’s on the table in kirel.
(12/03 21:27:18) Trekluver: Anymore questions?
(12/03 21:27:26) GoMe_Luna(nne): there was a different one than the kirel one, that cyan gave to greeters so you knew who they were
(12/03 21:27:34) Annabelle: Not the one with the helping hand
(12/03 21:27:37) GoMe_Luna(nne): unlike the kirel tshirt which can eb picked up by anyone
(12/03 21:27:42) Annabelle: The one ural wears
(12/03 21:27:48) GoMeLeonardo: yeah, J’Kla has a questin
(12/03 21:27:51) Trekluver: Last chance?
(12/03 21:28:01) Kayess: I have one but was waiting my turn
(12/03 21:28:17) J’Kla: Will you be using the old hood or a new one?
(12/03 21:28:25) Alien: I have one last question
(12/03 21:28:33) GoMeLeonardo: the questions list is quite long 😛
(12/03 21:28:55) GoMeDoobes: Yeah, restarting an entire Guild can do that. LOL!
(12/03 21:29:15) Kayess starts to laugh
(12/03 21:29:19) GoMeLeonardo: (ANNOUNCEMENT: is case Trekluver has to leave before we can complete all the questions, please send them to me as KiMails, I will get themanswered and poste don the forums)

(12/03 21:58:31) J’Kla: ok I am here as an independent writer not as an official of GoW
(12/03 21:59:13) J’Kla: My talk tonight is pre written. I will be using KeyPusher written by
(12/03 21:59:13) J’Kla: D’Lanor to post this and will not be really
(12/03 21:59:13) J’Kla: able to respond dynamicaly till we get to
(12/03 21:59:22) J’Kla: question and answers.
(12/03 21:59:51) J’Kla: GoMe usually post a chatlog on line but I will be dropping some internet addresses into this.
(12/03 22:00:17) J’Kla: So if you want to start your own I suggest you type the command /startlog if you have not allready
(12/03 22:01:00) J’Kla: I will also post the content as a forum entry on webpanda This is the forum of The Meeting Place Neighborhood.
(12/03 22:01:26) J’Kla: Please save you questions till the end and If you want to ask a question submit a PM request to GoMeLeonardo
(12/03 22:01:44) GoMeLeonardo: 🙂
(12/03 22:02:02) J’Kla: I Use Blender 2.49b to build my ages and all my ages should be considered as a work in progress.
(12/03 22:02:27) J’Kla: Blender is not the only option. It just happens to be the one I use
(12/03 22:02:58) GoMeDoobes grins
(12/03 22:02:59) J’Kla: My ages include a Shell in Ahra Pahts, Nilodnam A Gallery of images from other ages plus field trips Enobmort A full blown puzzle age in development
(12/03 22:03:36) J’Kla: Noidrocca Just a complex and convoluted age with a complex structure There’s also Cidoirep which has actually been incorporated into Noidrocca. Anyone can build an age.
(12/03 22:04:09) J’Kla: A simple age you can walk around in can be made in an hour
(12/03 22:04:47) J’Kla: There are a load of cost free tools available on the internet to do this. Blender can be downloaded free from.
(12/03 22:05:04) J’Kla: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender
(12/03 22:05:28) J’Kla: Older versions including 2.49b the one I use can be downloaded at
(12/03 22:05:56) J’Kla: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/older-versions/
(12/03 22:06:22) J’Kla: Blender requires you have the Python loaded NOTE specific Blender versions require specific Python versions but you can have multiple blender and Python versions on one PC given the disc space.
(12/03 22:07:01) J’Kla: It is worth investigating the Guild of Writers forum and Wiki as you can get a lot of quick answers from there.
(12/03 22:07:21) J’Kla: http://forum.guildofwriters.org/
(12/03 22:07:42) J’Kla: http://www.guildofwriters.org/wiki/Main_Page
(12/03 22:08:11) J’Kla: There are some good tutorials in the Wiki and you will specific help if you ask on the forum.
(12/03 22:08:33) J’Kla: This applies to Blender and Studio3dMax.
(12/03 22:09:00) J’Kla: It is viable to have multiple versions of Blender, Python and Studio3dMax on the same machine however you will however use up disk space.
(12/03 22:09:30) J’Kla: A simple setup can be done with about 2Gbyte of disk space.
(12/03 22:09:58) J’Kla: Installing multiple versions of Python, Blender, 3dMax and an archive of progressive age builds and you can very quickly end up in the thick end of 30 Gig of disk space.
(12/03 22:10:36) J’Kla: Let’s assume you have built an age to visit your age solo you need to have either Uru ages beyond Myst with the Path of the Shell loaded or an easier way is Uru
Complete Chronicles this is available form Good old Games $9.99
(12/03 22:10:58) J’Kla: http://www.gog.com
(12/03 22:11:29) J’Kla: If you are building an age it’s probably a good idea to load Drizzle and point it at your stand alone version you can then load all of the fan ages in the
catalogue currently over 100.
(12/03 22:12:14) J’Kla: NOTE you do not have to download all of the fan ages and you can select a few or a block using shift or Ctrl kick off a download and let it get on with it.
(12/03 22:12:45) GoMe_Luna(nne): (you can install Ages yourself when the files are provided somewhere, it is not too hard. You don’t have to use drizzle))
(12/03 22:12:54) J’Kla: The best option I’ve found for me personally is to install Uru Complete Chronicles in its default folder and then access that using Drizzle.
(12/03 22:13:31) J’Kla: When it comes to building your own age there is one thing you are going to need and that is a Sequence Prefix.
(12/03 22:13:57) J’Kla: This is a number that uniquely identifies your age and theres a web page that allows you to see all the prefixes in use.
(12/03 22:14:27) J’Kla: http://www.guildofwriters.org/wiki/TPOTS_Sequence_Prefixes#Full_list_of_all_known_Sequence_Prefixes
(12/03 22:15:03) J’Kla: To read it you dont need a login but to change and add your own you do but when it comes to building your first age there is one Prefix Sequence in the list 11111 which is assigned to Generic Age.
(12/03 22:15:57) J’Kla: Provided we never upload this age and only use it locally. That is on your local computer. Then this prefix should never clash with a downloaded age from
Drizzle.
(12/03 22:16:32) J’Kla: As I said earlier my route to age building has been via Blender version 2.49b If you plan on following this route then I recommend seeking out a copy of
(12/03 22:16:53) J’Kla: The Official Blender 2.3 Guide
(12/03 22:17:16) J’Kla: I have found this book particularly useful most of the content is available from the blender online documentation project
(12/03 22:17:44) J’Kla: http://www.blender.org/documentation/htmlI/book1.html
(12/03 22:18:16) J’Kla: I recommend jumping to the section on Understanding the interface then wading into The section Your first animation in 30 plus 30 minutes this involves building an animation of a ginger bread man
(12/03 22:18:43) J’Kla: Do this from scratch about three times and when it comes to building your first age you should be reasonably familiar with this version of blender.
(12/03 22:18:51) J’Kla: nearly finished
(12/03 22:19:14) J’Kla: Please do not misunderstand this is not the only version of Blender and not the only route to age building It just happens to be the one I have used.
(12/03 22:19:45) J’Kla: I used to upload my files for inclusion on drizzle via Dustin but recently he’s left over artistic differences we won’t go into here so there wil be a new method soon look out on the GoW forum
(12/03 22:20:12) J’Kla: I will make myself available via pm on GoW if anyone wants one to one help in cavern where I will share shortcuts I work from the UK so timings will usually work to UK time slots ie. dont expect me to be available at 4am UK time I will be sleeping.
(12/03 22:20:15) J’Kla: lol
(12/03 22:20:35) J’Kla: OK. I am open to questions from the floor.
(12/03 22:20:41) GoMeLeonardo: Annabelle is th first
(12/03 22:20:46) Annabelle: great
(12/03 22:20:46) J’Kla: and I’m back live
(12/03 22:20:52) Annabelle: 2 questions
(12/03 22:21:15) Annabelle: what are the prefixes and are blender ages are MOUL compatible?
(12/03 22:21:22) GoMe_Luna(nne): (I will be answering technical questions. and going to give a brief summary soon)
(12/03 22:21:39) J’Kla: yes yoou take that one Luna
(12/03 22:21:48) GoMe_Luna(nne): prefixes are the unique ids for ages
(12/03 22:22:08) Annabelle: how do you determine them?
(12/03 22:22:11) GoMe_Luna(nne): it si ne fo their identifiers,and because of thatit is important that they are unique 🙂
(12/03 22:22:18) GoMe_Luna(nne): *is one of
(12/03 22:22:24) GoMeDoobes: Otherwise URU crashes. Hehehe.
(12/03 22:22:28) GoMe_Luna(nne): they are assigned to an age
(12/03 22:22:33) Annabelle: ah ok
(12/03 22:22:43) J’Kla: there’s a list
(12/03 22:22:45) Annabelle: like IP addresses for us
(12/03 22:22:45) GoMe_Luna(nne): okay the other question
(12/03 22:22:48) Annabelle: yes
(12/03 22:22:49) GoMeLeonardo: Vince2.5
(12/03 22:22:51) GoMe_Luna(nne): yeah like those 🙂
(12/03 22:22:58) Annabelle: wait
(12/03 22:22:59) GoMeLeonardo: oh, yeah, Annabelle has 2 questios XD
(12/03 22:23:04) Annabelle: my 2bnd questions
(12/03 22:23:18) Annabelle: are belnders ages MOUL compatible
(12/03 22:23:20) GoMe_Luna(nne): pyprp 1.6 which is compatible with blender 2.49 can only produce ages for offline uru
(12/03 22:23:21) Annabelle: lol
(12/03 22:23:25) Annabelle: blenders
(12/03 22:23:34) Annabelle: ah
(12/03 22:23:41) Annabelle: so only 3d Max
(12/03 22:23:55) J’Kla: but they are working on a port method
(12/03 22:23:55) GoMe_Luna(nne): pyprp 2 , which is going to be for the new blender 2.x will be able to produce ages for MOUL era engines (like moula)
(12/03 22:24:16) Esto cheers
(12/03 22:24:26) GoMe_Luna(nne): but at the moment it is in alpha state, and you cannot reallyproduce /interactive/ ages with this
(12/03 22:24:33) Annabelle: great i would like the MOUL avatar freeness with fan ages
(12/03 22:24:43) J’Kla: there is a way to get blender ages into 3dMax
(12/03 22:24:43) GoMe_Luna(nne): so for online ages atm the only possibility is 3ds max
(12/03 22:25:19) GoMe_Luna(nne): I will go into the details of the plugins and all after you have asked J’kla all the questions you want 🙂
(12/03 22:25:23) Annabelle: because URU CC you are always on an icefield
(12/03 22:25:30) J’Kla: for complex ages it’s a lot of work
(12/03 22:25:41) GoMeLeonardo: Vince2.5 is next
(12/03 22:25:46) Annabelle: thx
(12/03 22:25:59) Vince2.5: to expand on Annabelle’s questions. I have Two.
(12/03 22:26:06) J’Kla: ok
(12/03 22:26:30) Vince2.5: 1.) for what reason do fan developed ages need to be identified? technical? organizational?
(12/03 22:26:43) J’Kla: tech
(12/03 22:26:48) GoMe_Luna(nne): technical
(12/03 22:27:28) Vince2.5: 2.) if blender developed ages aren’t compatible with moula a.) are they compatible with existing fan shards and b.) how easily can they be made compatible with moula later?
(12/03 22:27:44) GoMe_Luna(nne): I’ll take this one 🙂
(12/03 22:27:45) J’Kla: reasonable with effort
(12/03 22:28:15) GoMe_Luna(nne): okay first you need to understand there are two kinds of engines and therefore two kinds of shards we are talking about
(12/03 22:28:54) GoMe_Luna(nne): there are the Alcugs shards, based on UntilUru and Offline Uru.
(12/03 22:29:23) Vince2.5 nods his head
(12/03 22:29:24) GoMe_Luna(nne): currently there is DI shard, UAM shard and TOC shard
(12/03 22:29:41) GoMe_Luna(nne): you need Uru CC to play on them
(12/03 22:29:53) GoMe_Luna(nne): the current 1.6 plugin can and does produce ages for them
(12/03 22:30:44) GoMe_Luna(nne): (if not it is breakign cyans copyright badly)
(12/03 22:30:50) GoMe_Luna(nne): anyway not going into that
(12/03 22:31:03) GoMe_Luna(nne): MOUL era engine
(12/03 22:31:14) GoMe_Luna(nne): there are shards, You are one now 😛
(12/03 22:31:36) GoMe_Luna(nne): apart from that tehre is the MOSS shard ran by TOC and potentially Dirtsands shards
(12/03 22:31:52) GoMe_Luna(nne): atm you cannot really produce ages for them in blender
(12/03 22:32:01) GoMe_Luna(nne): unless you want an age you cannot interact with
(12/03 22:32:07) GoMeDoobes says DOH!
(12/03 22:32:07) Vince2.5: due to aforementioned legal reasons i presume?
(12/03 22:32:21) GoMe_Luna(nne): due to the plugin not being developed to that stage yet
(12/03 22:32:27) Vince2.5: i see
(12/03 22:32:37) GoMe_Luna(nne): I will go into that when all questions are answered for now 🙂
(12/03 22:32:46) GoMe_Luna(nne): (sorry we threw this kind of ad-hoc together)
(12/03 22:32:47) GoMeLeonardo: the queue is empty
(12/03 22:32:52) GoMe_Luna(nne): okay
(12/03 22:32:57) Vince2.5: thank you for clarifying
(12/03 22:33:21) J’Kla: Writing ages is not as hard as it sounds
(12/03 22:33:21) GoMe_Luna(nne): then I will talk on the code for a bit I will try to kep it short
(12/03 22:33:47) GoMe_Luna(nne): it may seem stupid there is currently no work done on the blender plugin when all of you want to play fan ages in MOUL era engines
(12/03 22:34:14) GoMe_Luna(nne): there are sveral reasons for this
(12/03 22:34:41) GoMe_Luna(nne): the new blender version only recently became stable, before that quite a lot changed
(12/03 22:35:00) GoMe_Luna(nne): so it was not possible to code all features of th eplugin yet
(12/03 22:35:22) GoMe_Luna(nne): apart from that to make the client multi platform, there still have to happen several critical changes in the cliennt
(12/03 22:35:36) GoMe_Luna(nne): which will have a large influence on the plugin
(12/03 22:36:13) GoMe_Luna(nne): on the clien
(12/03 22:36:45) GoMe_Luna(nne): Paradox has been putting a lot of effort in getting the minor problems for native clients on other OS’s then windows out of the way
(12/03 22:37:02) GoMe_Luna(nne): mostly directed at Linux, but I am sure they will help forMacs too
(12/03 22:37:36) TomVal: Looking forward for tablet-compatible client, both iOS and Android
(12/03 22:38:00) GoMe_Luna(nne): apart from that Hoikas has been working on the ignore function. I will be answer any technical questions on that later
(12/03 22:38:22) GoMe_Luna(nne): on that TomVal, I am afraid tablet clients will not happen in the nearby future
(12/03 22:39:12) J’Kla: Uru for Kindle
(12/03 22:39:14) GoMe_Luna(nne): this may sound technical, but the client is coded in C++ mostly, Android works with Java, iOS with Objective-C
(12/03 22:39:39) TomVal: Unity engine?
(12/03 22:39:49) GoMe_Luna(nne): imagine a story written in english, and android only understanding french, iOS only understanding german 😛
(12/03 22:40:03) J’Kla: lol yes
(12/03 22:40:14) GoMe_Luna(nne): using the unity engine won’t happen with Uru /ever/
(12/03 22:40:21) GoMe_Luna(nne): it would need major changes everywhere
(12/03 22:40:25) Annabelle: babel tower
(12/03 22:40:42) Rock Ardemar: but translations can be made?
(12/03 22:40:47) J’Kla: where’s OHB when you need him
(12/03 22:40:53) GoMe_Luna(nne): translating would cost so much time
(12/03 22:41:07) GoMe_Luna(nne): it is hard to explain how large project that would be
(12/03 22:41:17) Rock Ardemar: ok
(12/03 22:41:34) GoMe_Luna(nne): just to get it to work on Mac and Linux is already a lot of work
(12/03 22:41:43) Hawu Meninp: XD
(12/03 22:41:43) GoMe_Luna(nne): anyway let’s officially start with taking questions
(12/03 22:41:51) GoMeLeonardo: McBeam is the first
(12/03 22:41:53) GoMe_Luna(nne): so questions Leo?
(12/03 22:42:21) Mcbeam: sorry hold on
(12/03 22:42:28) vaaht: unless the Mac port implements a native right-click of some sort, I don’t see the Mac port being that important 😛
(12/03 22:42:48) GoMeDoobes: Hey now, the Mac fans are just as important, IMO. 😉
(12/03 22:43:03) J’Kla: all fans are important
(12/03 22:43:06) GoMe_Luna(nne): a mac port will probably follow from linux client 😛
(12/03 22:43:19) Mcbeam: i’m what you might call a regular player not a old timer not a newbe..so my question is this
(12/03 22:43:31) vaaht: I played Uru on a Mac…and I tell you, I would rather play on Linux or Windows <.<
(12/03 22:43:41) Mcbeam: what does this all mean to a regular player like me?
(12/03 22:43:44) GoMe_Luna(nne): uhm, for regular windows players there have been lag fixes
(12/03 22:43:59) Vince2.5: using a mac is a big barrier for entry, unfortunately, that’s not limited to URU either
(12/03 22:44:09) Mcbeam: oh thanks hehe
(12/03 22:44:15) GoMeLeonardo: guys? McBeam had a question
(12/03 22:44:18) GoMe_Luna(nne): they are considering improving the graphical quality and adding shaders for new ages made for the engine
(12/03 22:44:36) Vince2.5: so, essentially, URU runs better and does more?
(12/03 22:44:37) GoMe_Luna(nne): also larger changes like the KI interface and Nexus interface may happen
(12/03 22:44:48) GoMeDoobes cheers
(12/03 22:44:55) Mcbeam: but will we have anything new?
(12/03 22:45:05) J’Kla: Yes
(12/03 22:45:23) Mcbeam: time frame?
(12/03 22:45:28) J’Kla: over 100 fan ages allready
(12/03 22:45:35) GoMe_Luna(nne): once the plugin is done you can play fanages with this engine
(12/03 22:45:44) GoMe_Luna(nne): time frame. I really can’t answer that
(12/03 22:45:53) SkydiverWatashi: cool
(12/03 22:45:53) GoMe_Luna(nne): there are very few people working on this
(12/03 22:45:54) Vince2.5: never count on a time frame lol, they’re always changing. reference Rand Millers Mysterium interview for more on that
(12/03 22:46:00) J’Kla: but they can be visited now
(12/03 22:46:02) GoMeDoobes: It’s done in everyone’s spare time, so it’s bound to take longer.
(12/03 22:46:04) Mcbeam: wow cool but can folks like me do it easly?
(12/03 22:46:17) GoMe_Luna(nne): and as doobes said, it is done in spare time
(12/03 22:46:17) SkydiverWatashi: I have played UAm and the fan ages there are laughable
(12/03 22:46:37) J’Kla: then build a better one
(12/03 22:46:43) Vince2.5: it takes knowledge, still, expertise and tallent to do these things
(12/03 22:46:48) Alien: now now don’t criticise unless you can do better
(12/03 22:46:50) GoMe_Luna(nne): there are a few good ones, look at Tweek’s ones
(12/03 22:46:50) GoMeDoobes: Well, there are some tha tneed work, but there are also quite a few impressive ones near Cyan quality, IMO.
(12/03 22:46:52) Vince2.5: skill, rather
(12/03 22:46:53) J’Kla: nobody is stopping you
(12/03 22:47:10) Annabelle: i like them a lot
(12/03 22:47:15) GoMe_Luna(nne): anyway I am not here to discuss the quality of fanages
(12/03 22:47:24) Vince2.5 wants to ask a question…
(12/03 22:47:24) GoMeDoobes: Hehehe.
(12/03 22:47:25) GoMe_Luna(nne): any other questions I can answer?
(12/03 22:47:27) J’Kla: have a go you may be a natural
(12/03 22:47:30) GoMeLeonardo: Next question for Annabelle
(12/03 22:47:30) SkydiverWatashi: I am not a writer or techy just making an obsevation
(12/03 22:47:53) Annabelle: so to make fan ages you need linux right?
(12/03 22:48:04) GoMe_Luna(nne): no no
(12/03 22:48:05) Annabelle: windows is out of the way?
(12/03 22:48:05) GoMeDoobes: Nope.
(12/03 22:48:08) GoMe_Luna(nne): noooo
(12/03 22:48:17) GoMe_Luna(nne): blender is multi platform
(12/03 22:48:22) GoMe_Luna(nne): 3d max is windows only
(12/03 22:48:47) GoMe_Luna(nne): I just mentioned linux a lot because it is the preferred OS of a lot of the coders 😛
(12/03 22:48:55) Annabelle: ok i’m not really tech savvy so i stick with the 99% of population with Windows
(12/03 22:49:34) GoMeLeonardo: Next question for Vince
(12/03 22:50:41) Vince2.5: this may be encroaching on grey area (of the legal variety, dunno) but, if we cannot legally develope for shards running MOUL era engines then why do they exist?
(12/03 22:51:12) GoMe_Luna(nne): again there is a difference in the engines
(12/03 22:51:33) GoMe_Luna(nne): you cannot legally run an Alcugs shard, as Uru CC still has copyright
(12/03 22:51:41) Vince2.5 nods his head
(12/03 22:52:08) J’Kla: but they do exist out there
(12/03 22:52:10) GoMe_Luna(nne): the legal issues I mentioned was because someone mentioned that you don’t need Uru:CC for the UAM shard
(12/03 22:52:25) GoMe_Luna(nne): which is considered a step too far by most fans I know
(12/03 22:52:27) J’Kla: that would be me lol
(12/03 22:52:43) Vince2.5: will licenses someday permit development for MOUL era engines?
(12/03 22:52:58) GoMe_Luna(nne): the MOUL data files however have been sanctioned by Cyan, I think
(12/03 22:53:04) J’Kla: yes
(12/03 22:53:07) J’Kla: OS
(12/03 22:53:21) GoMe_Luna(nne): I think OU will be here to answer questions later, I would suggest you ask them , they should know all abotu the licences now 😛
(12/03 22:53:32) GoMe_Luna(nne): I kind of kept away from that discussion
(12/03 22:53:38) Christian Walther: There is no legal reason you couldn’t develop ages for MOUL-era engines. Where did that idea come from?
(12/03 22:53:46) J’Kla: yes worthy of a wide berth
(12/03 22:53:52) GoMe_Luna(nne): anyway MOUL shards are considered legal now and sanctioned by cyan
(12/03 22:54:09) Vince2.5: i suppose i misunderstood the particulars
(12/03 22:54:24) GoMe_Luna(nne): it is easy to mix up the engines 😛
(12/03 22:54:30) GoMeDoobes: And legal BS too. 😛
(12/03 22:54:37) Vince2.5: true doobes
(12/03 22:54:45) GoMeLeonardo: the Queue is empty
(12/03 22:54:56) GoMe_Luna(nne): okay that was all then I think
(12/03 22:55:02) GoMe_Luna(nne): if no one else has a question?
(12/03 22:55:14) Grandbad wonders if this will get sparklie into Minkata.
(12/03 22:55:15) J’Kla: If you build using Blender you can only export to Alcugs or take a longwinded port to 3dMax and a MOULa engine
(12/03 22:55:16) Jojon: Well, they ARE the same engine, after all, just different builds. 😛
(12/03 22:55:28) GoMe_Luna(nne): no they are not really the same engine
(12/03 22:55:53) GoMe_Luna(nne): UU era /alcugs engine uses HAvok
(12/03 22:56:07) GoMe_Luna(nne): the MOUL era uses Physx
(12/03 22:56:11) Annabelle: HavoK engine is very different from PhysX
(12/03 22:56:29) GoMe_Luna(nne): and network code
(12/03 22:56:36) GoMe_Luna(nne): but let’s move on
(12/03 22:56:40) GoMeDoobes nods
(12/03 22:56:48) GoMe_Luna(nne): summary : they are very different even when they do the same thing
(12/03 22:57:09) adi: yea maybe we need a separate event to cover aaaaaaaall that
(12/03 22:57:18) Annabelle: uru game is a whole different experience depending on which engine is used
(12/03 22:57:25) GoMeDoobes: The GoW should have their own little get-together, methinks.
(12/03 22:57:27) GoMe_Luna(nne): yeah I thinka GoW Q&A is in order some time soon 🙂
(12/03 22:57:42) GoMe_Luna(nne): anyway moving on, who’s next Leonardo?
(12/03 22:57:48) J’Kla: yes
(12/03 22:57:54) GoMe_Luna(nne) wants to know whether she can stay standing here
(12/03 22:57:59) GoMeLeonardo: Thank you guys 🙂
(12/03 22:58:04) GoMeLeonardo: Yeah Luna can stay here XD
(12/03 22:58:04) J’Kla bows

(12/03 22:59:18) GoMeLeonardo: Please everyone welcome Gahlen, who will talk about the new /ignore function that has been discussed on the MOUL Forums!
(12/03 22:59:20) GoMeLeonardo claps his hands

(12/03 22:59:42) GoMeLeonardo: And Luna will answer technical questions
(12/03 22:59:45) Gahlen: Thanks.
(12/03 23:00:08) Gahlen: Ok, is it worth me summarizing what’s going on, or is it common knowledge?
(12/03 23:00:23) GoMeDoobes: Best just to summarize, just in case.
(12/03 23:00:30) Mcbeam: right
(12/03 23:00:31) Hawu Meninp nods his head
(12/03 23:00:40) Rock Ardemar agrees
(12/03 23:00:42) Gahlen: Ok. About three weeks ago I started a discussion on the forums
(12/03 23:00:50) Gahlen: to talk about whether we should try
(12/03 23:01:02) Gahlen: to get the /ignore function on the KI changed
(12/03 23:01:13) Gahlen: so that when you /ignored someone else’s avatar
(12/03 23:01:29) Gahlen: that avatar not only became inaudible in text and voice chate
(12/03 23:01:36) Gahlen: but also became invisible.
(12/03 23:01:48) Gahlen: I thought this would be an appropriate and effective response
(12/03 23:02:01) Gahlen: to some recent griefing activity in the Cavern
(12/03 23:02:12) Gahlen: in which people had been using their avatars
(12/03 23:02:23) Gahlen: to invade other people’s personal space
(12/03 23:02:33) Gahlen: and enter their bodies, an experience
(12/03 23:02:43) Gahlen: that some players found deeply disturbing.
(12/03 23:02:55) Gahlen: The idea was that if you couldn’t see the offending avatar
(12/03 23:03:06) Gahlen: this specific kind of griefing becomes immediately ineffective.
(12/03 23:03:18) Gahlen: in the course of the discussion so far
(12/03 23:03:31) Gahlen: most of the contributors to the thread have been in favour
(12/03 23:03:42) Gahlen: of making at least a change like this.
(12/03 23:03:51) Gahlen: But there has also been some strong support
(12/03 23:04:02) Gahlen: for a change that would, in addition, make it possible
(12/03 23:04:16) Gahlen: to make *both* avatars, the /ignorer and the /ignored,
(12/03 23:04:25) Gahlen: invisible to *each other*.
(12/03 23:04:33) Grandbad claps his hands
(12/03 23:04:39) BIG thumbs up from GoMeDoobes
(12/03 23:04:40) Gahlen: The idea being that you could then choose your level of ignore-ance.
(12/03 23:04:44) Mr Zink claps his hands
(12/03 23:04:45) Gahlen: 🙂
(12/03 23:04:53) hoodedwarbler12 cheers
(12/03 23:05:03) Gahlen: But there have also been some strongly felt objections to making that possible.
(12/03 23:05:13) Annabelle: i concur
(12/03 23:05:17) Gahlen: So this is a point on which the thread has not reached a consensus.
(12/03 23:05:28) Gahlen: At the same time as starting the thread
(12/03 23:05:35) Gahlen: I asked at the Guild of Writers
(12/03 23:05:39) Gahlen: if anyone there
(12/03 23:05:42) Annabelle: ignored are not only the griefers!!!
(12/03 23:05:54) Gahlen: would be interested in coding a revised /ignore function
(12/03 23:06:07) Gahlen: that would do one or both of the above things.
(12/03 23:06:16) Gahlen: Adam aka Hoikas offered to work on this for us.
(12/03 23:06:27) Gahlen: He has now come up with a first version
(12/03 23:06:29) Annabelle: which is insulting enough for those who are victims of this (like me!!!!)
(12/03 23:06:33) Mr Zink: auto relto them
(12/03 23:06:34) Gahlen: which he unveiled a week ago.
(12/03 23:06:41) Gahlen: This is still work in progress,
(12/03 23:06:53) Gahlen: and Luna will be taking questions on it in a moment,
(12/03 23:06:55) GoMe_Luna(nne): (please Annabelle)
(12/03 23:07:07) Gahlen: but when it is done, it can be sent across to OpenUru
(12/03 23:07:18) Gahlen: to be tested for possible inclusion into the game.
(12/03 23:07:20) Annabelle: well someone has to talk with another point of view!!!
(12/03 23:07:33) Gahlen: And perhaps rarified will say something in a moment about that process as well.
(12/03 23:07:41) Gahlen: In any case …
(12/03 23:07:48) Gahlen: Once it became clear to me
(12/03 23:08:00) Gahlen: that there was support for something like this in the community,
(12/03 23:08:07) Gahlen: and that we could code it ourselves,
(12/03 23:08:13) Gahlen: I wrote to Chogon.
(12/03 23:08:19) Gahlen: Would Cyan be interested
(12/03 23:08:36) Gahlen: in adding invisibility to the /ignore function on the KI?
(12/03 23:08:46) Gahlen: After all, it would be pointless to do all this work
(12/03 23:08:52) Gahlen: if Cyan were going to say no.
(12/03 23:09:03) Gahlen: His response to me was very positive.
(12/03 23:09:17) Gahlen: He thinks that at least one-way invisibility
(12/03 23:09:19) Gahlen: is a good idea
(12/03 23:09:30) Gahlen: and he would be keen to add it into the game in a future update.
(12/03 23:09:45) Gahlen: He is, he tells me, planning a series of such updates, not just one;
(12/03 23:09:54) Gahlen: so this could be part of one further down the track.
(12/03 23:10:03) Gahlen: Naturally, this would be on the condition
(12/03 23:10:13) Gahlen: that it works in a way he’s happy with
(12/03 23:10:29) Gahlen: and that there’s still money in the reserve fund to pay for updates at all.
(12/03 23:10:38) Gahlen: But I think that at the moment
(12/03 23:10:45) Gahlen: it is looking fairly likely
(12/03 23:10:53) Annabelle: i’ll stop donate if the game goes on this tangent
(12/03 23:11:04) Gahlen: that an updated /ignore function can enter the pipeline
(12/03 23:11:13) Gahlen: for possible inclusion in the game.
(12/03 23:11:26) Gahlen: It clearly won’t solve all our griefing problems
(12/03 23:11:32) Gahlen: and it isn’t intended to,
(12/03 23:11:45) Gahlen: but as far as this one specific form of griefing is concerned,
(12/03 23:11:57) Gahlen: I think it will be a helpful tool for responding.
(12/03 23:12:05) GoMeDoobes nods
(12/03 23:12:08) Gahlen: That’s it.
(12/03 23:12:18) Gahlen: I or we can take questions.
(12/03 23:12:25) GoMe_Luna(nne): okay on the coding part I can be quick
(12/03 23:12:26) GoMeLeonardo: First Question from J?Kla
(12/03 23:12:41) Annabelle: i’ll have a question too
(12/03 23:12:48) GoMe_Luna(nne): it is in the python code, Hoikas added it his branch on github
(12/03 23:12:49) GoMeLeonardo: ok
(12/03 23:13:05) J’Kla: A while ago I was stopped from accessing a linking book by an Avatar sitting on the book
(12/03 23:13:07) GoMe_Luna(nne): if you have an internal client you can test it, but pleas only do this if you know how
(12/03 23:13:12) J’Kla: would it stop this
(12/03 23:13:19) GoMeLeonardo: sorry….
(12/03 23:13:26) GoMe_Luna(nne): it is okay 🙂
(12/03 23:13:36) GoMe_Luna(nne): yes as I understand it it would J’kla
(12/03 23:13:41) J’Kla: ok
(12/03 23:13:46) GoMe_Luna(nne): making the avatar invisble, would also make it unclickable
(12/03 23:13:46) Christian Walther: J’Kla, you can stop this already
(12/03 23:13:52) GoMe_Luna(nne): and the book behind it clickable
(12/03 23:13:53) J’Kla: how/
(12/03 23:14:11) Christian Walther: testing Hoikas’ changes, I stumbled upon a not well know function…
(12/03 23:14:12) J’Kla: ok
(12/03 23:14:24) J’Kla: I try to avoid ignore
(12/03 23:14:29) Christian Walther: press [and hold] the Delete key and all avatars become unclickable, and you can click on things behind them.
(12/03 23:14:34) J’Kla: but understood
(12/03 23:14:47) GoMe_Luna(nne): is that not only in the internal clients Christian?
(12/03 23:14:47) Kayess: Wow, very interesting tidbit there!
(12/03 23:14:59) Christian Walther: I don’t think it is
(12/03 23:15:00) Gahlen: No, it works in the normal client as well.
(12/03 23:15:14) GoMe_Luna(nne): okay , interesting indeed
(12/03 23:15:20) hoodedwarbler12: works for me, normal
(12/03 23:15:21) GoMe_Luna(nne): time to spread the infor
(12/03 23:15:21) Mcbeam: wow good info christian
(12/03 23:15:23) cjherkeless: tested it, it works
(12/03 23:15:23) J’Kla: thanks useful
(12/03 23:15:25) GoMe_Luna(nne): *info
(12/03 23:15:41) tommyap: how do you undelete ?
(12/03 23:15:47) Christian Walther: release the key
(12/03 23:15:53) tommyap: thanks
(12/03 23:16:03) Christian Walther: it’s only effective as long as you keep it pressed
(12/03 23:16:07) Vince2.5: why are these things not made more readily apparent?
(12/03 23:16:17) hoodedwarbler12 shrugs
(12/03 23:16:19) Mr Zink: could there be book ffunctions in the relto book like a private notepad?
(12/03 23:16:25) GoMeLeonardo: Next question qould be from Nev’yn
(12/03 23:16:30) Kayess has been around for years and didn’t have a clue
(12/03 23:16:35) GoMeDoobes too
(12/03 23:16:36) GoMe_Luna(nne): I don’t think anyone knew or remembered
(12/03 23:16:41) GoMe_Nev’yn!: I going to keep this simple, I actually have someone ingored on my “main” avatar. when said person is in-cavern, its a bit confusing the moments he is
addressed by other players.
(12/03 23:16:55) Vince2.5: well, it should be written down somewhere. like the how to book in the classrooms
(12/03 23:17:24) GoMe_Luna(nne): one of the chanegs Hoikas has done to the ignore function is that it keeps the player in the age list
(12/03 23:17:26) J’Kla: someday vince
(12/03 23:17:27) TomVal: Or one of GoMe standard mails
(12/03 23:17:33) GoMe_Luna(nne): so you know he or she is there
(12/03 23:17:48) GoMe_Nev’yn!: i don’t think full invis is going to help with this, but I’m actually truly neutral on this issue. whatever the “public” decides, I fine with.
(12/03 23:17:55) Kayess: There’s plenty that isn’t written down Vince, for instance /addbuddy
(12/03 23:18:14) J’Kla: just so much stuff
(12/03 23:18:16) GoMe_Nev’yn!: kayess…that is in our guild handouts.
(12/03 23:18:20) GoMe_Luna(nne): please, people I am trying to answer Nev’yn’s question
(12/03 23:18:26) TomVal makes mental note for New Greeters to mention the Delete trick
(12/03 23:18:40) Kayess: Sorry, didn’t meant to interrupt, just wanted to make a point before it was lost, continue
(12/03 23:18:46) Hawu Meninp nods his head
(12/03 23:19:20) Gahlen: Right, was that Nev’yn’s question answered?
(12/03 23:20:08) GoMe_Nev’yn!: Gahlen, i was more making an observation than a question, as is my way.
(12/03 23:20:09) GoMe_Luna(nne): I’ll repeat the answer in short, Hoikas coded it so that the player stays visible in the age player list so he/she cannot “haunt” your private ages
(12/03 23:20:18) Gahlen: Ah, ok.
(12/03 23:20:44) GoMe_Luna(nne): or “haunt” you in other places
(12/03 23:20:54) GoMe_Luna(nne): okay next question
(12/03 23:21:04) GoMeLeonardo: Annabelle has the next questin
(12/03 23:21:08) Annabelle: great
(12/03 23:21:29) Annabelle: here is a question i dont want you to answer i’ll ask another question afterward
(12/03 23:21:32) Annabelle: here goes
(12/03 23:21:42) Annabelle: Am I a griefer?
(12/03 23:22:02) Hawu Meninp shakes his head
(12/03 23:22:07) GoMeDoobes shakes his head
(12/03 23:22:14) GoMe_Luna(nne): imo not
(12/03 23:22:15) Annabelle: you seem to forgot that some of us like me are victims of ignore
(12/03 23:22:42) Annabelle: its already hard to see public chat in half
(12/03 23:22:48) GoMe_Nev’yn! wants to ask a question…
(12/03 23:22:53) Annabelle: seeing one way conversation
(12/03 23:23:01) GoMeDoobes shrugs
(12/03 23:23:08) Annabelle: you are including EVERYONE
(12/03 23:23:15) Mcbeam likes annabelle 🙂
(12/03 23:23:15) Annabelle: griefers and victims
(12/03 23:23:26) Annabelle: i dont harm anyone
(12/03 23:23:35) Grandbad claps his hands
(12/03 23:23:37) Annabelle: im polite and friendly
(12/03 23:23:40) GoMe_Luna(nne): apparently those people think different
(12/03 23:23:42) Rock Ardemar likes Annabelle too
(12/03 23:23:43) adi: but you can’t have everyone love you, and it’s like this for all of us
(12/03 23:23:46) GoMeDoobes: Can’t exactly control how someone uses their ignore function, Annabelle. It’s up to the user.
(12/03 23:23:49) GoMe_Luna(nne): people are entitled there own opinion
(12/03 23:23:51) Annabelle: but some by jealousy put me on Ignore
(12/03 23:24:02) tommyap: there loss
(12/03 23:24:05) GoMeDoobes: Exactly.
(12/03 23:24:17) Annabelle: it’s really difficult to live with that
(12/03 23:24:20) GoMe_Luna(nne): it is just that we wish to make the ignore function more useful for people atm to protect themselves against griefers
(12/03 23:24:24) GoMeDoobes: Not much you can do about them. It’s their choice. You may not like it, but there’s not much that can be done about it, sadly.
(12/03 23:24:25) Gahlen: One point to note about this
(12/03 23:24:26) GoMe_Nev’yn!: Ignore my next observation…doobes already said it.
(12/03 23:24:29) Annabelle: i hardly goes to Public city
(12/03 23:24:41) Annabelle: not her
(12/03 23:24:44) GoMeLeonardo: or maybe they are just crossing chats between AgePlayers and Neighbors when a Neighbor is in the age
(12/03 23:24:49) Gahlen: is that one-way invisibility would make no change to the experience of the /ignored avatar.
(12/03 23:24:58) Annabelle: i have been ignore by at least 10 ppl
(12/03 23:25:05) GoMeDoobes: Exactly what Leo said. There could be many reasons for one sided chat other than /ignore.
(12/03 23:25:11) Mr Zink: its like an election not all are satisfied i guess
(12/03 23:25:14) Gahlen: He or she would experience nothing different fron what is experienced now.
(12/03 23:25:22) GoMeDoobes: The KI itself is an odd device and ripe for screw ups like that. 😛
(12/03 23:25:38) cjherkeless: pleaasing everyone is always impossible.
(12/03 23:25:42) GoMeDoobes: Indeed.
(12/03 23:25:47) Gahlen: So this simplest change would only alter the experience of the /ignorer.
(12/03 23:25:51) GoMe_Luna(nne): the fact that age chat does not necessarily mean everyone in the age can hear you is one of my personal pet peeve
(12/03 23:25:53) GoMe_Nev’yn!: it is ancient tech, after all. Lol
(12/03 23:25:55) Annabelle: i care about other
(12/03 23:26:07) Christian Walther: Luna, is what Gahlens says true? I think there was a change about how the ignoree hears the ignorer.
(12/03 23:26:22) GoMeDoobes: Then don’t let it bother you so much, Annabelle. If they ignored you, that’s their loss.
(12/03 23:26:28) Mcbeam is confuzed i thought everyone liked everyone here 🙂 lol
(12/03 23:26:32) Annabelle: ok then
(12/03 23:26:35) Hawu Meninp nods his head
(12/03 23:26:43) Annabelle: i’m too sensible maybe
(12/03 23:26:45) GoMe_Luna(nne): uhm the ignoree does not hear the person who ignored him/her
(12/03 23:26:53) GoMeDoobes: This is more to keep the really annoying griefers from bothering other innocent people more effectively.
(12/03 23:27:00) Alien: half the problem is that you let something bother you … greifers jump on that
(12/03 23:27:03) Christian Walther: OK, I’ll have to recheck what Hoikas wrote then.
(12/03 23:27:08) GoMe_Luna(nne): like now
(12/03 23:27:28) Annabelle: thx you answered me
(12/03 23:27:38) GoMe_Luna(nne): he wrote a post in the GW thread with the changes
(12/03 23:28:28) Gahlen: Please note also that the thread iis still out there.
(12/03 23:28:46) GoMeLeonardo: One last question from me and Rock: we kind of lost track of how the current implementation works: does it make yo uinvisible to the griefer or the
opposite? or both?
(12/03 23:28:47) GoMe_Luna(nne): the thread is still there, this meeting is meant to be informative
(12/03 23:28:49) Gahlen: These discussions can take place there all the time. Even when we are sleeping.
(12/03 23:28:56) Gahlen: 🙂
(12/03 23:29:00) GoMe_Nev’yn!: That’s true!
(12/03 23:29:03) Rock Ardemar cheers for Annabelle too
(12/03 23:29:27) GoMe_Luna(nne): Hoikas’ implementation or the one that exists now?
(12/03 23:29:34) GoMeLeonardo: Hoikas’s
(12/03 23:29:50) GoMe_Luna(nne): let me look, the ignore function
(12/03 23:30:21) GoMe_Luna(nne): makes the person you ignore invisible but still listed in Age Players
(12/03 23:30:28) GoMeLeonardo: ok
(12/03 23:30:34) GoMeDoobes: Perfect.
(12/03 23:30:40) GoMe_Luna(nne): you cannot click on them
(12/03 23:30:42) GoMeLeonardo: The Queue is empty
(12/03 23:30:46) GoMe_Luna(nne): and they will never appear to be “nearby”
(12/03 23:31:04) Rock Ardemar: But it would be better if we make ourselves invisible to them
(12/03 23:31:06) GoMe_Luna(nne): you are invisble to them
(12/03 23:31:17) Rock Ardemar: ok
(12/03 23:31:28) Christian Walther: if you choose to
(12/03 23:31:35) t’alisme thinks this is going to be really confusing
(12/03 23:31:35) Grandbad wonders if the ignored party can still “see” the person ignoring them?
(12/03 23:31:39) GoMe_Luna(nne): they can see /your/ text chat no matter autoshout and hear your voice chat
(12/03 23:32:06) Vince2.5: that’s one idea grandbad, as far as i understand, right?
(12/03 23:32:07) GoMe_Luna(nne): but really, if you look on the GoW forums Hoikas’ posted there and you can ask questions for more details there
(12/03 23:32:31) GoMe_Luna(nne): *posted an overview
(12/03 23:32:35) GoMeLeonardo: ok, thank you Gahlen and Luna 🙂

(12/03 23:35:55) GoMeAgeExplorer claps his hands
(12/03 23:36:01) JWPlatt pushes Mac and rarified head of him
(12/03 23:36:02) GoMeDoobes: ?
(12/03 23:36:03) Annabelle: hmm i see nobody on stage
(12/03 23:36:04) rarified is shy
(12/03 23:36:10) GoMeLeonardo: XD
(12/03 23:36:21) GoMeDoobes: Aw, don’t be shy! You’re amongst friends. 🙂
(12/03 23:36:27) GoMeDoobes claps his hands
(12/03 23:36:29) Jojon: By the way (sorry to interject): Note that J’Kla manned the podium today, in order to demystify age-building a little and hopefully tempt people to try it. Do
catch him after the meeting if you are indeed tempted and have further questions.
(12/03 23:36:33) GoMeLeonardo: YAY!
(12/03 23:36:52) Grandbad cheers
(12/03 23:37:04) rarified: Shorah all
(12/03 23:37:15) Vince2.5: shorah
(12/03 23:37:22) GoMeDoobes waves
(12/03 23:37:22) Esto: .shorah b’shemtee
(12/03 23:37:23) Mac: Shorah
(12/03 23:37:28) JWPlatt: Hi folks. Thanks! I was here once to listen in and ask questions, but nothing official. Now we all seem to have shown up, so might as well take advantage of it. Questions?
(12/03 23:37:46) Annabelle: i have one
(12/03 23:37:59) GoMeLeonardo: Annabelle go ahead
(12/03 23:38:03) Annabelle: ok
(12/03 23:38:04) GoMeLeonardo: all the others pm me 🙂
(12/03 23:38:36) Annabelle: i saw on openuru wiki that JWPlatt was forging a MOSS shard what is planned as of today?
(12/03 23:39:13) JWPlatt: That’s actually rarified doing the work, sothat’s his answer. 🙂
(12/03 23:39:36) Annabelle: ok the shards is with your name 🙂
(12/03 23:39:38) Annabelle: shard
(12/03 23:39:39) rarified: I suppose I should take this one. Yes, we/I am putting together a test shard that is sponsored by OpenUru
(12/03 23:39:57) Jatee: kewl
(12/03 23:39:58) Annabelle: will it be public?
(12/03 23:40:07) rarified: It will be set up to run one or more of the pending changes that are eligible for
(12/03 23:40:27) rarified: submission to Cyan for inclusion in the official game.
(12/03 23:40:55) tommyap: not public then , but more like betatesting ?
(12/03 23:40:56) rarified: We currently have the fix from the GoW forr allowing international characters (Unicode) to be
(12/03 23:41:27) rarified: used in KI messages, as well as a internal fix from Christian that corrects
(12/03 23:41:39) rarified: some mis-behavior in the Egg Room..
(12/03 23:41:51) TomVal: WOW for Unicode
(12/03 23:41:53) t’alisme: 0-0
(12/03 23:41:57) TomVal cheers
(12/03 23:42:05) Annabelle: mis-behavior in egg room?
(12/03 23:42:32) Christian Walther: That misbehavior was only visible with the GoW client, not here or with the CWE-ou client.
(12/03 23:42:35) rarified: I’ll defer describing the behavior to Christian
(12/03 23:42:44) Mac: Yeah, I guess kinda beta test/play test describes the purpose of the shard
(12/03 23:43:01) Annabelle: so its a testing purpose shard
(12/03 23:43:11) rarified: Ok, right, this occursed when some software underlying the client was broughtup to
(12/03 23:43:14) Annabelle: ok that is answers my question
(12/03 23:43:16) rarified: date in the GoW client.
(12/03 23:43:27) tommyap: and mine 🙂
(12/03 23:43:36) GoMeLeonardo: next one is McBeam
(12/03 23:43:39) JWPlatt: Is it more like beta testing, but not under the NDA kind of environement we’ve been used to, nor so selective. Just join up when rarified gives the okay. Though we may have a few people smooth out the wrinkles at first.
(12/03 23:43:41) rarified: The current status is I’m working some coding changes to the MOSS server
(12/03 23:44:04) Annabelle: kk
(12/03 23:44:22) rarified: so it will run on the OpenUr “foundr” server. That machine runs yet a diffferent
(12/03 23:44:38) rarified: operrating system called Solaris, which is close to but not quite Linux.
(12/03 23:44:52) Mcbeam: what the deal with magiquest? 🙂
(12/03 23:44:53) rarified: So there are some subtle changes that needed to be made to the MOSS server to
(12/03 23:44:58) Annabelle: babel once again 🙂
(12/03 23:45:01) rarified: be more platform agnostic.
(12/03 23:45:13) Mcbeam: oops sorry
(12/03 23:45:25) rarified: Maybe Annabelle, but the server was here first, then came OpenUru
(12/03 23:45:36) JWPlatt: Heh, magiQuest is a different topic and not under the auspices of OpenUru.org, but I can answer something there if you can be more specific.
(12/03 23:45:56) Annabelle: you lost me
(12/03 23:45:58) Mcbeam: anything new there like new content?
(12/03 23:46:10) rarified: Anyway, I’ve run parts of the updated client locally but not all yet. A few more hours aof real
(12/03 23:46:26) rarified: heads-down time and I should be ready to open it up.
(12/03 23:46:38) GoMeDoobes: Yay!
(12/03 23:46:43) Grandbad claps his hands
(12/03 23:47:10) rarified: There is not new content in the queue yet, and as was aluded to before, some permission
(12/03 23:47:25) rarified: issues that have to be ironed out before new content can be integrated into the
(12/03 23:47:31) rarified: MOULa world space.
(12/03 23:47:52) JWPlatt: Mcbeam, no new content, as in Chapter 2 or anything, though there may be some minor developemt upcomnig as a maintenance release to improve a couple of things. That means a bit of work for Cyan, maybe, and does affect the Open Source schedule, so it is slightly relevant to you here.
(12/03 23:47:57) rarified: I’ll post a note on both the OU and MOUL forums soliciting volunteers when the shard is up.
(12/03 23:48:18) Esto: cool
(12/03 23:48:25) Mcbeam: thank you sirs
(12/03 23:48:42) GoMeLeonardo: other questions?
(12/03 23:48:43) rarified: Here’s what I expect would happen. The first volunteers would be technically savvy ones
(12/03 23:49:01) rarified: that can help debug just the available shard with the current client.
(12/03 23:49:17) rarified: after a few days to shake that down, the client and the server wold be updatedwith
(12/03 23:49:44) Vince2.5: could i just come early to, ya know, make constructive commentary or something?
(12/03 23:49:51) rarified: the fixes to be sent to Cyan,. Then we’ll ask everyone who wants to join in.
(12/03 23:50:20) JWPlatt: If you’ve worked in beta or rehearsal, you’re probably savvy enough.
(12/03 23:50:34) rarified: Vince, sure, but you have to have lower expectations that the game or server
(12/03 23:50:45) rarified: might crash or hang during that time and not get upset abot it
(12/03 23:51:04) Vince2.5: lol okay no deal
(12/03 23:51:14) GoMeDoobes laughs
(12/03 23:51:16) Mcbeam: can’t be worse then some games out there 🙂
(12/03 23:51:31) rarified: Did I cover enough Annabelle?
(12/03 23:51:34) Mac: Yeah, and don’t get too hung up about the prospect of vault wipes 😉
(12/03 23:51:37) Annabelle: oh yes
(12/03 23:51:38) JWPlatt: I like the positive waves. 🙂
(12/03 23:51:39) Annabelle: thanks
(12/03 23:51:44) GoMeLeonardo: next onefor the questions is Gahlen
(12/03 23:51:48) Annabelle: i’ll follow your devs
(12/03 23:52:00) Gahlen: Working with the GoW on the possible update to the /ignore funtion, we have a version now on the H/uru fork of the CWE. What is involved in getting it from there to you guys? How complicated is that?
(12/03 23:52:29) rarified: As far as I could see, the /ignore changes havn’t made it back to the main H’uru fork (we do
(12/03 23:52:51) rarified: look periodically for changes). It may be on one that H’uru uses for builds, but I don’t yet
(12/03 23:53:02) Gahlen: Right, yes. But they’ll get there eventually, I’m assuming.
(12/03 23:53:06) Mac: I think it’s maybe still in Hoikas’ own fork?
(12/03 23:53:08) rarified: know what it looks like, so it’s hard to say.
(12/03 23:53:14) Christian Walther: It isn’t merged to master yet but based on it, so no real difference there.
(12/03 23:53:25) Gahlen: Ok, so what happens then?
(12/03 23:53:50) rarified: The changes are made to one or more code files. We need to compare those code files
(12/03 23:54:05) rarified: with the corresponding ones in the OpenUru repository to determine
(12/03 23:54:17) Vince2.5 wants to ask a question…
(12/03 23:54:30) GoMeLeonardo: k
(12/03 23:54:34) rarified: (1) are the changes able to be made directly to the OU code or does someone
(12/03 23:54:47) rarified: with coding skills have to tweak them to get them to “fit”
(12/03 23:55:02) rarified: (2) do the changes depend upon any other changes that are present in the H’uru
(12/03 23:55:19) rarified: fork but not in OU. If so, we have to work with H’uru to see what
(12/03 23:55:29) rarified: else needs to be brought over to make things work.
(12/03 23:55:48) rarified: Once the changes can be made with a high degree of confidence,
(12/03 23:56:01) rarified: we’ll set up a time on the test shard to make it available.
(12/03 23:56:25) rarified: (keep in mind that the test shard will let you try /ignore, but we probably
(12/03 23:56:41) rarified: won’t have paid greifers on hand to practice with)
(12/03 23:56:47) GoMeLeonardo: LOL
(12/03 23:56:47) Gahlen grins.
(12/03 23:56:49) Vince2.5 starts to laugh
(12/03 23:56:59) Vince2.5: i can fill that role if you’d like
(12/03 23:57:00) Hawu Meninp: 🙂
(12/03 23:57:01) Rock Ardemar grins
(12/03 23:57:04) Gahlen: Yes, I suspected as much.
(12/03 23:57:09) Mac: I’ll do that for free 😉
(12/03 23:57:09) GoMe_Nev’yn!: i’m sure we could round up few for ya’.
(12/03 23:57:14) Gahlen: But thanks, that’s extremely helpful.
(12/03 23:57:20) GoMeLeonardo: Next one is Vince2.5
(12/03 23:57:25) rarified: After that test period, we’ll let Mark at Cyan know that we have the change
(12/03 23:57:44) JWPlatt: (Chogon)
(12/03 23:57:46) rarified: and think it’s ready. He’s indicated that he likely will run a test shard
(12/03 23:58:04) rarified: himself within Cyan, where the Cyan quality control ((test) group
(12/03 23:58:19) rarified: will do their thing, and after that it’s up to them.
(12/03 23:59:00) rarified: One fly in the ointment is that we don’t have an automatic signup
(12/03 23:59:04) JWPlatt: The current plan, by the way, is for Cyan QA to do their thing on Foundry.
(12/03 23:59:19) rarified: system for the test shard yet, so we’ll have to set up accounts
(12/03 23:59:47) rarified: by PM or starting a forum topic. Perhaps with Mac_Fife’s help I can
(12/04 00:00:00) rarified: get a web-based interface up, but that has to wait until we have
(12/04 00:00:06) rarified: a shard in the first place.
(12/04 00:00:53) rarified: Next?
(12/04 00:00:56) GoMeLeonardo: Vince
(12/04 00:01:00) Vince2.5: this one should be easy, what’s a “fork” (other than an eating utensil) ?
(12/04 00:01:02) Mac: I should probably explain for those that don’t know that “Foundry” is the name we have for the server environment where all our dev tools and the shardlive.
(12/04 00:01:37) rarified: A fork is a copy. When the source code was made available, whoever wanted to work on it
(12/04 00:01:52) rarified: was invited to make a copy they could change without impacting the original code.
(12/04 00:02:05) Vince2.5: oh, a fork is a copy of the source code
(12/04 00:02:10) rarified: Each person or group that has a copy has different goals for what they want,
(12/04 00:02:39) rarified: and we’re trying to keep some order as to making thing compatible with the existing
(12/04 00:02:40) Mac: Think of it like a fork in the road – each fork can take you to different version of the code
(12/04 00:02:48) rarified: game and not colliding with each other.
(12/04 00:03:30) Vince2.5: so you can make changes to your version of the code then somebody can copy yours and make changes to it?
(12/04 00:04:07) rarified: Yes. There are no limits (unless the person holding a copy puts them on their copy)
(12/04 00:04:11) rarified: as to who can copy things.
(12/04 00:04:21) Vince2.5: handy. thanks
(12/04 00:04:44) GoMeLeonardo: My questions Queue is empty
(12/04 00:05:04) Vince2.5: well, what more do you want to know?
(12/04 00:05:19) JWPlatt: Vince, then the cool stuff other people do and test can be “merged” back into other forks, eventually leading to some main ersion that has all the cool stuff.
(12/04 00:05:19) Mcbeam: how to code for a start
(12/04 00:05:32) GoMeLeonardo: Any other questions for OpenUru? Last call 😛
(12/04 00:05:33) tommyap: lol
(12/04 00:05:41) GoMeDoobes: 😀
(12/04 00:06:01) GoMeDoobes: No question, but thank you for coming in guys. Hope to see more of you here at these meetings in the future. 🙂
(12/04 00:06:02) rarified: For the general “overview”, think of our foundry as stagehands. It works behind
(12/04 00:06:15) TomVal: How can one apply to test shard aka foundry to test unicode support for example?
(12/04 00:06:20) rarified: the scenes to make the play happen, even if they’re not the principle actors.
(12/04 00:06:28) Steven Indigo69: can you link from one d’ni to another?
(12/04 00:06:37) Mcbeam says is that what writing ages is all about?
(12/04 00:06:42) Vince2.5: that would be a nice feature
(12/04 00:06:50) Vince2.5: very informative AGM
(12/04 00:06:52) rarified: TomVal: havn’t set it up yet. Will make that part of the initial announcement
(12/04 00:07:05) TomVal: thx
(12/04 00:07:10) Grandbad claps his hands
(12/04 00:07:15) rarified: Steven: not until we get some more clarification from Cyan
(12/04 00:07:16) TomVal claps his hands

(12/04 00:08:30) GoMeLeonardo: Please welcome the GUild of MEssengers!!
(12/04 00:08:39) Grandbad claps his hands
(12/04 00:08:40) TomVal roars with laughter
(12/04 00:08:43) GoMeLeonardo: nah, it will be short
(12/04 00:08:45) Mcbeam claps his hands
(12/04 00:08:45) Rock Ardemar cheers
(12/04 00:08:49) Guild of Translators claps her hands
(12/04 00:08:55) GoMeDoobes: Didn’t think we’d let ya off THAT easy, did ya? XD
(12/04 00:08:56) GoMe_Luna(nne) quickly puts her messengers’ cap on
(12/04 00:09:27) GoMeLeonardo: So what has been going on this month.
(12/04 00:09:35) GoMeLeonardo: We have added a new category to Rel.to
(12/04 00:09:52) GoMeLeonardo: since a couple of days we are listing GooglePlus Pages too
(12/04 00:10:55) GoMeLeonardo: GooglePlus is the new Social Network of Google, so many don’t have a page yet, but groups that have a page there can send us a request to add their page to the Rel.to database
(12/04 00:11:23) GoMeLeonardo: Right now we have: GoMe, GoW, OpenUru, Mysterium and FallingManGroup listed
(12/04 00:11:32) GoMeAgeExplorer: 🙂
(12/04 00:12:26) GoMeLeonardo: Also in the near future we will make a little change to some short tags in rel.to to make them follow the same pattern…but the change should have no bad effects, we will keep it compatible with existing URLs
(12/04 00:13:24) GoMeLeonardo: I’ll pick up the occasion to tell everyone that has a GPlus account to sign up for our page: http://rel.to/gome_g
(12/04 00:13:50) GoMeLeonardo: we post news there as well as on our Facebook and Twitter pages
(12/04 00:14:50) GoMeLeonardo: This month we have published some interesting articles on our frontpage, there is an article about the /ignore function that can help you summarize all that has been say up to now in the MOUL FOrum discussions
(12/04 00:16:14) GoMeAgeExplorer: 😀
(12/04 00:16:15) GoMeLeonardo: For the Magazine: last meeting we said we would have it ready “soonish”…for this time I can only say that that soon is getting shorter and shorter. We hope to be able to publish it in December
(12/04 00:16:29) GoMeDoobes grins
(12/04 00:16:40) GoMeAgeExplorer: 🙂
(12/04 00:16:46) Rock Ardemar looks forward to it
(12/04 00:16:57) GoMe_Luna(nne): We have very few people active in the guild right now
(12/04 00:17:18) GoMe_Luna(nne): and the person making the final layout is rather busy, which causes delay
(12/04 00:17:33) GoMe_Luna(nne): we have actually the fewest amount of people active since MOULa started
(12/04 00:18:12) GoMe_Luna(nne): which is why I would like to stress that we cannot make or do things without members
(12/04 00:18:15) GoMe_Nev’yn!: this means much like the GoG, we’ll be doing recruiting sometime in the near future.
(12/04 00:18:35) Mcbeam: cool
(12/04 00:18:35) GoMe_Luna(nne): even if you are not ready for a long term commitment, we do not expect that
(12/04 00:18:58) GoMe_Luna(nne): if you just want to go cavern crying for a few weeks, or write one article that is fine
(12/04 00:19:14) GoMe_Luna(nne): I don’t expect you to write an article for every magazine
(12/04 00:20:19) GoMe_Luna(nne): I know Uru is going slow, I know ther eis little new and people are leaving
(12/04 00:20:55) GoMe_Luna(nne): but improving uru can happen in many ways, you don’t haveto be in the writers making fanages or coding
(12/04 00:21:06) GoMe_Luna(nne): you can also help us bring news and life in the cavern
(12/04 00:21:11) Esto nods his head
(12/04 00:21:28) GoMeDoobes: Any positive contribution to the community is a welcome one. 🙂
(12/04 00:21:28) GoMe_Luna(nne): make stories your self, write them, organize something
(12/04 00:21:37) Rock Ardemar: Actually, I was tempted to join you, after your impressive CavcomParty
(12/04 00:21:48) GoMeDoobes: You’re more than welcome to, Rock.
(12/04 00:21:55) GoMe_Luna(nne): it is open source now, open content
(12/04 00:22:17) GoMeLeonardo: On this topic, I would like to publicly thank Nev’yn, our latest member, for bringing back the Cavern Criers activity and helping in organizing them better
(12/04 00:22:27) GoMeLeonardo: 🙂
(12/04 00:22:28) laughingpineapple cheers
(12/04 00:22:32) GoMe_Nev’yn! bows
(12/04 00:23:15) GoMe_Nev’yn!: we’d love to have an extra set of hands to help!
(12/04 00:23:18) GoMe_Luna(nne): we strife to be open and discuss things openly
(12/04 00:23:25) GoMeDoobes: Agreed, Nev! 🙂
(12/04 00:23:58) GoMe_Luna(nne): you only need to register and you will be able to participate in the majority of the discussions on the forums

(12/04 00:28:52) …Chat.log stopped.

(01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: OK, let's get started!
(01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: Shorah and welcome to the 117th All Guilds Meeting and the first of 2020!
(01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: I am your substitute teacher…er, host…Doobes, filling in for Korov'ev while he's traveling.
(01/04 13:00:48) Mirphak: Shorah all
(01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: Today is *checks and squints at Kor's notes* Leevosahn 3, 9675, at 3:00:20:12 (give or take).
(01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: I hope the new year has started off well for everyone. We've got a few items of news to get to, but first, the usual ground rules to keep things running smoothly:
(01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: 1. Please *keep chatter to a minimum* while speakers are talking. The occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.
(01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don
(01/04 13:00:48) Doobes: Oops.
(01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don't ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a
(01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: Ugh…this is what I get for copy/pasting. 😛
(01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: Be sure a ? is somewhere in the question for it to register in the queue.
(01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
(01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they've left the stage.
(01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: 5. A summary and a chatlog of the Meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/
(01/04 13:02:56) Doobes: Now with that out of the way, let's turn things over to CT Hostess Susa'n to talk about the Cavern Tours!
(01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: !Shorah b'shemtee
(01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: copy/paste is not working 😛
(01/04 13:05:04) Doobes: No, was just the wrong type of apostrophe, if you can believe it. 😉
(01/04 13:05:04) Emor D'ni Lap: ctrl-v!
(01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: Larry LeDeay, Mirphak “Mir-o-Bot” and I are pleased to announce the return of CAVERN TOURS!
(01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: Cavern Tours are a series of walking tours that cover every age in MOULa.
(01/04 13:05:04) CT Hostess Susa'n: The tour guides speaking in character about D'ni and D'ni restoration history, the functions and purposes of the building and machinery in each age, and the flora and fauna in each age.
(01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: Because the tours take place in private instances, we take you to locations you cannot reach during normal game-play.
(01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: The tours will take place the second Saturday of each month, beginning January 11, 2020, from 11:00 to 13:00 KI time.
(01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: That's next Saturday, folks!
(01/04 13:07:12) rarified: Yeah, put me on the list
(01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: We will meet in Cavern Tour's Hood for a brief orientation, then link together to the age we will visit that day.
(01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: If you are interested in participating in the tours, please PM me and I will add you to my Buddies list.
(01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: You should add me to yours, as well.
(01/04 13:07:12) CT Hostess Susa'n: For more information, please visit Larry's excellent “The Lost Library of D'ni” website
(01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: http://www.florestica.com/hpotd/caverntour/.
(01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: In addition, I will post monthly updates in the MOULa forums under Events/Cavern Tours 2020!
(01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: Any questions?
(01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: no questions?
(01/04 13:09:20) Boywhith: Is it possible to do the tour one hour later?
(01/04 13:09:20) Doobes: Sorry, just a sec…
(01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: I am very sorry
(01/04 13:09:20) Doobes: There's some in the queue too. 😉
(01/04 13:09:20) etelka: are the tours with text or voice
(01/04 13:09:20) CT Hostess Susa'n: we chose 11:00-13:00 so as not to interfere with r'Tay's Story Night at 14:00 on Saturdays
(01/04 13:11:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: we will use voice chat
(01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: People, please PM questions to me. I *will* ask them for you.
(01/04 13:11:28) Boywhith: Pity… A bit nasty for Europeans.
(01/04 13:11:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: so make sure you check “Enable Voice Chat” in the Audio Settings
(01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: Our next question is from Theo.
(01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: [Theo] What about a provision for people to join halfway through at noon?
(01/04 13:11:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: add me to your Buddies list, then PM me. I will guide you how to join the tour in progress.
(01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: Our next question is from philipgr.
(01/04 13:11:28) Doobes: [philipgr] Can you pse ask CT that if the y use the bot to please let everyone know what commands to use by typing them out. I recently had an experience where this did not happen?
(01/04 13:11:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: we will instruct you how to use Mir-o-Bot
(01/04 13:13:36) philipgr: Thank you
(01/04 13:13:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: the three primary commands will be “Link” “w” and “find Larry”
(01/04 13:13:36) Doobes: westar, the queue “ate” your question. Go ahead.
(01/04 13:13:36) westar: will there be play time at the end of the tour like previously?
(01/04 13:13:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: if Mirphak has time that Saturday, he will be happy to provide play time 😀
(01/04 13:13:36) westar: ok
(01/04 13:13:36) Doobes: Any other questions?
(01/04 13:13:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: by the way, Mirphak is Mir-o-Bot's maker and operator
(01/04 13:13:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: please give him a hand!
(01/04 13:13:36) Doobes: One more from ChrisKB.
(01/04 13:15:44) ChrisKB: Just to confirm, we can join in the middle of the tour, right?
(01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: yes, you may join the tour in progress
(01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: each tour will take approximately 2 hours
(01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: any other questions?
(01/04 13:15:44) Doobes: None in the queue.
(01/04 13:15:44) Doobes: Thank you both!
(01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: a buddy reminded me …
(01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: for those new to this game, we do try to avoid spoilers
(01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: but a few spoilers may slip through
(01/04 13:15:44) CT Hostess Susa'n: see you at the tours!!!!!
(01/04 13:15:44) Doobes: So already a bit of technical difficulty. Hooray!
(01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: 😛
(01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: For those of you that don't know, last month was “Lexember”, a social media event where people create new words across the entire month of December.
(01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: Cyan participated this year and posted a ton of new (and a few familiar) D'ni words!
(01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: If you'd like to extend your D'ni vocabulary, a list of the words released for Lexember has been gathered here:
(01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: https://archive.guildofarchivists.org/wiki/Reference:Lexember_2019
(01/04 13:17:52) Doobes: Next up, we have rarified from OpenUru.org!
(01/04 13:17:52) rarified: Shorah, and Happy New Year everyone!
(01/04 13:17:52) Mirphak: hi rarified, happy new year
(01/04 13:17:52) rarified: Thiis will be brief, I haven't taken much time to make a presentation.
(01/04 13:20:00) Phan'o'Myst: lag is aweful in here today
(01/04 13:20:00) rarified: Last month Doobes and I got up here with a great deal of enthusiasm about Fan content.
(01/04 13:20:00) Boywhith: And I have no sound…
(01/04 13:20:00) rarified: That has been my primary focus last month, on Minkata.
(01/04 13:20:00) rarified: At our last meeting, we announce we were able to load and visit some very simple test ages,
(01/04 13:20:00) rarified: which shows we now have a path on incorporating ages into the Minkata servers.
(01/04 13:20:00) rarified: Since then, we have been able to load a couple of versions of Doobes' GuildOfMessengersPub age
(01/04 13:22:08) rarified: successfully, and it appears to be working as well.
(01/04 13:22:08) Doobes: 😀
(01/04 13:22:08) rarified: With that under our belt, we are now in the process of debugging some issues with
(01/04 13:22:08) rarified: Doobes' most complex age I've seen, ChisoPreniv otherwise known as a fan library age.,
(01/04 13:22:08) rarified: This age has tickled a bug somewhere that has been challenging to locate.
(01/04 13:22:08) Phan'o'Myst: lag is aweful today
(01/04 13:22:08) rarified: It even may be that the compilers used to build the client are making errors when
(01/04 13:22:08) rarified: building tthe client that make it behave incorrectly.
(01/04 13:24:16) rarified: So it is taking a bit of time to chase down. But if you count the number of times
(01/04 13:24:16) Ro”Jethhe: 30 peeps are here in Kirel.
(01/04 13:24:16) rarified: I've started the client, placed breakpoints in machine code, run to the breakpoint and then
(01/04 13:24:16) rarified: have the client crash again, you can count that as progress 😉
(01/04 13:24:16) rarified: So that is underway… In other news…
(01/04 13:24:16) Doobes: It's not work in my eyes unless I break something. Hehehe.
(01/04 13:24:16) Ahno: controlled crash is better than uncontrolled
(01/04 13:24:16) rarified: Doobes here has answered the call for volunteering to learn how to help run Minkata's
(01/04 13:24:16) rarified: servers and speed the turn around time when ages are under development.
(01/04 13:26:24) Lari'el: Break(point) all the things!
(01/04 13:26:24) Sleeper Jan: been a moment since i was there
(01/04 13:26:24) rarified: While I haven't had time yet to pair up with him on a session, I'm working on
(01/04 13:26:24) rarified: setting up a means that he can both watch what I'm doing, and then have access to
(01/04 13:26:24) rarified: do those things himself. I'm looking forward to decreasing the number of
(01/04 13:26:24) rarified: interrupts per second my aging neurons need to handle.
(01/04 13:26:24) Doobes: Hehehe.
(01/04 13:26:24) rarified: So, with that, I've covered all the Minkata status at the moment.
(01/04 13:26:24) Sleeper Jan: claps
(01/04 13:26:24) rarified: We don't yet have a more concrete timetable for when things can move closer to
(01/04 13:26:24) Muffington Maniac: Yay
(01/04 13:28:32) rarified: MOULa, but it's coming. The odometer is running.
(01/04 13:28:32) rarified: Questions?
(01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: Oops, sorry. PM and another queue weirdness.
(01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: Any questions for rarified I may have lost? 😛
(01/04 13:28:32) FIREMAGE3000: oops
(01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: I guess Kor has chat problems, I get queue problems. Hehehe.
(01/04 13:28:32) rarified: Quantum tunnelling.
(01/04 13:28:32) CT Hostess Susa'n: blame the Bahro
(01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: Again, if you don't get to your question, you can always PM the speaker once they leave the stage.
(01/04 13:28:32) rarified: Ok, thanks everyone.
(01/04 13:28:32) Doobes: Thank you rarified!
(01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: We're moving at a brisk pace and my client is misbehaving…but we soldier on!
(01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: So there was another speaker I wanted to introduce, but coming back to moderating has frazzled my brain.
(01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: Ugh, who was it? It was some guy. Always droning on about stuff….
(01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: Oh yeah! It's ME. 😛
(01/04 13:30:40) philipgr: lol
(01/04 13:30:40) Sleeper Jan: lol
(01/04 13:30:40) rarified: You're older than you were at the beginning off the meeting.
(01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: As rarified said, development continues on getting fan Ages into MOULa. Unfortunately, due to the holidays and the aforementioned bug, work has slowed for the last couple of weeks.
(01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: Before that though, Hoikas has written some amazing code to help Minkata(-alpha). Basically, a few things just need to be implemented.
(01/04 13:30:40) Doobes: So while we're waiting, I've decided to do the next best thing and release the content on other shards, which includes Gehn Shard, The Open Cave, and Deep Island!
(01/04 13:32:48) Teni'shan: Holy mother of lag in here
(01/04 13:32:48) ChrisKB: ooh aah
(01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: This will include the new(-ish) Guild of Messengers Pub (or Tavern as Nev'yn likes to call it), the fan library Timel Korvahkh (formerly Chiso Preniv), and Veelay Tsahvahn, the Memorial Age.
(01/04 13:32:48) philipgr: Nice 🙂
(01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: This will be the first official release for Timel and Veelay, and for the Pub, it's first release on Deep Island and for offline URU. They will also be the first Ages released exported natively by Korman!
(01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: I'm hoping to get everything ready in time for the MOULa tenth anniversary next month, but many forces must align for that to happen, including our magnificent shard admins to get some time on their end, so it *might* be a bit of a tapered release. 🙂
(01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: As for Minkata and MOULa getting these Ages, I promise to do what I can to keep that ball rolling by working with any and all programmers, as is the spirit of open source.
(01/04 13:32:48) rarified: When is it? DD/MM/YY HH:SS:ms?
(01/04 13:32:48) Doobes: And of course, learn to keep the Minkata shard up and running to take some of the pressure off rarified. 😉
(01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: The patented “sooooooon”, rarified. 😀
(01/04 13:34:56) Sleeper Jan: lol
(01/04 13:34:56) rarified: I don't want to hear about “rarified time” 😛
(01/04 13:34:56) philipgr: lol
(01/04 13:34:56) Sleeper Jan: rofl
(01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: So aside from a solid release date (which there isn't one) any other questions?
(01/04 13:34:56) Sleeper Jan: avoid rarified food then
(01/04 13:34:56) Ro”Jethhe: picky picky picky you are Rabbit
(01/04 13:34:56) Claidi Song: And, rarified air.
(01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: Yes, we have been harassing rarified far too much lately. Still, it's made progress. 🙂
(01/04 13:34:56) Muffington Maniac: Avoid Rarified anything
(01/04 13:34:56) Ahno: rarifeed food
(01/04 13:34:56) rarified: We get that at 7000 feet *wheeze*
(01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: Our next question is from ChrisKB.
(01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: [ChrisKB] Is this the same Guild of Messengers Pub that's on Gehn Shard?
(01/04 13:34:56) FIREMAGE3000: wheel-bahro puns
(01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: Yes and no. It'll be an upgraded version of the Pub…with better lighting and shiny, shiny floors. 🙂
(01/04 13:34:56) Doobes: Basically to show of Korman's abilities.
(01/04 13:37:04) ChrisKB: okay!
(01/04 13:37:04) rarified: The Korman “wax on wax off” feature.
(01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: DCMs are lovely. 🙂
(01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: Any other questions?
(01/04 13:37:04) FIREMAGE3000: korman the janitor?
(01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: Also, for those having lag, I know it's lame…but you can look at the floor. It can help sometimes.
(01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: Korman the Blender plugin. It's awesome. 😉
(01/04 13:37:04) Doobes: On that note, that's in for my stuff. Up next, we have Minasunda!
(01/04 13:37:04) PodHopper: cheer
(01/04 13:37:04) Minasunda: shorah 🙂
(01/04 13:37:04) Ahno: frustum cullling
(01/04 13:37:04) Minasunda: The 10th anniversary of MOULa is just around the corner. We expect to celebrate from February 6th to February 9th.

(01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: – in the forum: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=29231
(01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: You can find detailed information about the two quests too in the forum. Please read the spoilers.
(01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: You can put together a team or you can register as a lone fighter, then Seeker will assign you to a team. It is of course better to look for a team yourself.
(01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: sorry Seeker 😛
(01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: The number of members of the team is not mandatory. So it is quite possible to form a team of 6 or 7 or 2 ;)))
(01/04 13:41:20) Minasunda: For the DoorRunQuest the Tsogals are selected at random and a different one for each team. So everyone has the same conditions.
(01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: So build teams and start training. :)))
(01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: Don't forget to register. We hope for numerous participants.
(01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: Thats all 🙂 Any questions?
(01/04 13:43:28) Sleeper Jan: grabs rabbit arm
(01/04 13:43:28) Sleeper Jan: raises it
(01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: nothing ?
(01/04 13:43:28) Ahno: door run event is a 'best time' game
(01/04 13:43:28) Doobes: No questions in the queue. Any from the audience?
(01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: no ? Thank you 🙂
(01/04 13:43:28) Rabbit: excuse me Jan????
(01/04 13:43:28) Eternal Seeker: sure Ahno
(01/04 13:43:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: does the door run time end when we all run thru the door?
(01/04 13:43:28) Rabbit: what am I raising my arm for?
(01/04 13:43:28) Minasunda: yes
(01/04 13:45:36) Sleeper Jan: rabbit joins the door runs
(01/04 13:45:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: or when the door opens?
(01/04 13:45:36) Rabbit: uh … I do???
(01/04 13:45:36) Doobes: OK, so we DO have questions. 🙂
(01/04 13:45:36) Minasunda: when the door is open completly
(01/04 13:45:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: thanks!
(01/04 13:45:36) Doobes: Rabbit, what was your question?
(01/04 13:45:36) ChrisKB: How will it be timed?
(01/04 13:45:36) Minasunda: with a clock ?
(01/04 13:45:36) Boywhith: By a D'ni clock, of course!
(01/04 13:45:36) radioflux: If the Tsogals are different per team, then the conditions are NOT the same, I assume?
(01/04 13:45:36) Ahno: photo sensor at the bottom of the door .D
(01/04 13:45:36) Ahno: 😀
(01/04 13:45:36) CT Hostess Susa'n: she does not want us to know the cloth numbers in advance
(01/04 13:45:36) Doobes: OK, again…if your question didn't get through, please feel free to PM the speaker. Hehehe.
(01/04 13:45:36) Boywhith: Good point from Radioflux…
(01/04 13:45:36) Doobes: So I mentioned Lexember earlier…and speaking of the D'ni language, let's hear from Shokhooktahn Rehn! 😀
(01/04 13:45:36) Minasunda: thans Susasn thats correct
(01/04 13:47:44) Emor D'ni Lap: yay Rehn!
(01/04 13:47:44) Minasunda: the referee stops the time with the stopwatch – there is no other way
(01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: I have two separate announcements. One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
(01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
(01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Classes are back in session after the holiday break.
(01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(01/04 13:47:44) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot's (KI #27527) advertisements (when he's on) to announce last-minute changes to class times.
(01/04 13:49:52) shokhootahn Rehn: You can get those advertisements by adding him as a buddy and then sending him a PM with the word: advert
(01/04 13:49:52) Ro”Jethhe: Magic Bot is MOI
(01/04 13:49:52) shokhootahn Rehn: If Magic Bot is not on-line, you can also PM Mimi Bot (KI #71459) the word, as well.
(01/04 13:49:52) Ro”Jethhe: MIA
(01/04 13:49:52) Eternal Seeker: Magic bot is offline since more than a year
(01/04 13:49:52) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes avaible on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time or 21:00 KI time, depending on the student's schedule.
(01/04 13:49:52) Ro”Jethhe: R.I.P.
(01/04 13:49:52) Doobes: Shh. We'll get to that, folks. Let him finish.
(01/04 13:49:52) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(01/04 13:49:52) Doobes: I suppose the obvious would be if no bots are available, how would one be able to get this info.
(01/04 13:49:52) Doobes: ?
(01/04 13:49:52) Doobes: *are not available
(01/04 13:52:00) PodHopper: guild of messengers agenda
(01/04 13:52:00) Doobes: Uh oh…Rehn?
(01/04 13:52:00) Muffington Maniac: I can hear a pin drop
(01/04 13:52:00) PodHopper: mic test?
(01/04 13:52:00) shokhootahn Rehn: Good question. Look at the hood imager for updates
(01/04 13:52:00) Doobes: Er, which hood would that be again? 😉
(01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: (just for clarity)
(01/04 13:54:08) shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry for the slow responsse. Bad keyboard.
(01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: No problem. Just glad you didn't crash.
(01/04 13:54:08) shokhootahn Rehn: uild of Istructors' Hood
(01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: Excellent.
(01/04 13:54:08) shokhootahn Rehn: *Guild
(01/04 13:54:08) Emor D'ni Lap: Baaaaaad keyboard
(01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: Our next question is from FIREMAGE3000.
(01/04 13:54:08) Doobes: [FIREMAGE3000] How do i join?
(01/04 13:54:08) CT Hostess Susa'n: Guild of Instructor's Hood
(01/04 13:54:08) Ahno: guess next questions answer will be guild of instructors hood 🙂
(01/04 13:56:16) CT Hostess Susa'n: PM shok Rehn after he's finished speaking
(01/04 13:56:16) shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry, the Guild is not open for membership, only for instruction.
(01/04 13:56:16) Emor D'ni Lap: In Language
(01/04 13:56:16) FIREMAGE3000: good to
(01/04 13:56:16) FIREMAGE3000: know
(01/04 13:56:16) Doobes: So yeah, come to learn, not to teach. 😉
(01/04 13:56:16) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any other questions?
(01/04 13:56:16) Doobes: No more questions in the queue.
(01/04 13:56:16) Doobes: For the sake of your poor keyboard, shall we continue to the next item? 🙂
(01/04 13:56:16) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(01/04 13:58:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.
(01/04 13:58:24) shokhootahn Rehn: We are continuing with the story arc of the D'ni kings. Today, and for the next 30 weeks, we will hear the stories of the kings.
(01/04 13:58:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(01/04 13:58:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.
(01/04 13:58:24) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later. Again, I use Magic Bot to advertise changes to Story Night times for both Europe and original.
(01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: … or iit the hood to look at the imager
(01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: *look at
(01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Times for original Story Night (Saturdays at 23:30 KI time) are unaffected by my traveling. However, they are affected by power outages due to thunderstorms… which, unfortunately, 'tis always the season. Should this be the case, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
(01/04 14:00:32) Woolie: hey theo!!!
(01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: r'Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r'T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he'll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender so it must be added to the body of the text.
(01/04 14:00:32) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!
(01/04 14:02:40) Doobes: Otherwise, it's like sending mail with no return address. 😉
(01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Exactly!
(01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI mail so they were unable to be added.
(01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot's (KI #27527) advertisements to announce last-minute changes to Story Night times.
(01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Again, Story Night – Europe will begin 30 minutes after the conclusion of today's AGM or at 14:00 KI time, whichever is later.
(01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(01/04 14:02:40) Doobes: None in the queue. Any questions about D'ni Language classes or Story Night?
(01/04 14:02:40) etelka (I'm on the surface, be back in a minute):
(01/04 14:02:40) Boywhith: vreemd… al het andere doet het wel qua geluid en alle schuifjes lijken ook goed te staan…
(01/04 14:02:40) Boywhith: ooops…
(01/04 14:02:40) shokhootahn Rehn: lol
(01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: Our next question is from ChrisKB.
(01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: [ChrisKB] Can we take the classes more than once?
(01/04 14:04:48) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes
(01/04 14:04:48) ChrisKB: Yaay 🙂
(01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: Any other questions?
(01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: OK! Thank you Rehn!
(01/04 14:04:48) Doobes: I must apologize for the glitchiness of this meeting. I know Kor makes things look easy, but believe me, it's not…especially when you haven't done it in awhile. XD

(03/02 13:02:59) Korov'ev: As usual, I'll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:
(03/02 13:03:05) Korov'ev: 1. Please *keep chatter to a minimum* while speakers are talking. The occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.
(03/02 13:03:05) RowanF: Alright then
(03/02 13:03:17) Korov'ev: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don't ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a “?” is somewhere in it to properly log the question in the queue.
(03/02 13:03:27) Korov'ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
(03/02 13:03:35) Korov'ev: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they've left the stage.
(03/02 13:03:53) Korov'ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of the Meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/
(03/02 13:04:02) Korov'ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.
(03/02 13:04:10) Korov'ev: Before the speaker session, do you know there's a new clock-maker in town?
(03/02 13:04:16) Korov'ev: Explorer Steven Jacks has released a live D'ni clock and calendar here:
(03/02 13:04:23) Korov'ev: http://stevenjacks.com/dni-clock/ (the rest of his site is interesting too!)
(03/02 13:04:26) Doobes: Ooo!

(03/02 13:07:25) Minasunda: Mir-O-Bot also takes you there with PM “to greeters”. In this case you do not need the green shirt from Kirel.

(03/02 13:13:28) Max: WE'VE held an event on IWD every year for quite some time now. Always with a lot of music. With or by female singers, artist or groups etc. So also this year when March 8th happens to be a Friday.
(03/02 13:13:45) Max: AS THE schedule stands atm. we start at 12:00 KI Time on Friday… And so far the last part is running till 17:00 at least. But I'd guess we will add some more things to that. So the ending time is still very open.
(03/02 13:14:04) Max: THE locations for the different parts are still under discussion and TBD / To Be Decided… We might be utilizing the Bots for relocation…
(03/02 13:14:07) KittyRenee: network error booted me
(03/02 13:14:24) jtrigg leans left
(03/02 13:14:27) Rabbit leans right
(03/02 13:14:29) Max: ALSO… me, myself & I might not be doing any own streams this time… BUT… Ghaelen, the MystiTech Prod. team and a few more are also onboard in this…. Alan (DJ) and Fil has said they can take Requests, and perhaps play some…
(03/02 13:14:56) Max: AND if wondering why start already at 12:00 KI Time?! We in EU are in the evening and towards night at that time! And it's very, very hard to find anybody in other timezones who'd wish to be involed!… BUT, I'd also would like emphasis, that all already involved… kept an eye on the Forum topic for any changes and PM's.
(03/02 13:15:31) Max: BUT IF YOU would like to contribute in any way, you're most welcome to do so! And you could on the spot be added to the end of the shedule…
(03/02 13:15:59) Max: SO there's a Topic on MOULa Forums about this. More specifc on the times and the different parts of the events. We also have a KI Mail to hand out, that will be kept updated, with some of the Main Info. You can PM me (Max) or Mina or Melis or Ro for that one. They should have the Info…
(03/02 13:16:23) Max: so… that's how it is atm… any questions?
(03/02 13:16:40) Korov'ev: none in queue. any?

(03/02 13:18:21) SAL: Shorah
(03/02 13:18:26) Ro”Jethhe: Thanks for getting the Minkata Shard back online.
(03/02 13:18:31) axenna: Shorah rarified
(03/02 13:18:32) rarified: Last AGM I was a bit of a grouchy Bahro.

(03/02 13:19:06) SAL: Not me, i am always that way

(03/02 13:19:52) Eternal Seeker cheers
(03/02 13:19:52) rarified: to “try it again” during the process. It was a bit drawn out, but we got there.
(03/02 13:20:13) KittyRenee: any content in the Minkata shard thats not in UAM or TOC?
(03/02 13:20:23) rarified: What does that mean? We still have a couple of fixes staged on Minkata for sending
(03/02 13:20:35) RowanF claps her hands
(03/02 13:20:40) rarified: to Cyan, and now can work to push them out. Soon ™.
(03/02 13:20:43) Doobes: Kitty, direct questions to Korov'ev via PM and he'll get to them.
(03/02 13:20:51) Rabbit roars with laughter
(03/02 13:21:03) PodHopper: me grins
(03/02 13:21:16) rarified: Second, I've found the network message exchange between client and server on the MOSS
(03/02 13:21:33) SAL: Seaweed
(03/02 13:21:38) rarified: server that Minkata runs that will enable me to bring up Minkata-alpha, the shard planned for
(03/02 13:21:43) rarified: testing Fan Content!
(03/02 13:21:58) Doobes: Niiiice!
(03/02 13:22:02) axenna: Oooooo!!!
(03/02 13:22:04) rarified: I still have some decisions on the exact coding in MOSS to do, so it's not there yet,
(03/02 13:22:13) rarified: but again, “Soon”. 😉
(03/02 13:22:19) PodHopper: yup
(03/02 13:22:40) rarified: I also am working with some of my DB friends to make the use of Minkata-alpha
(03/02 13:22:49) rarified: as seamless as possible to existing Minkata users.
(03/02 13:23:14) rarified: I'm hoping that when we get it running, you will see the same state you had in Minkata
(03/02 13:23:24) Telrov cheers
(03/02 13:23:29) RowanF claps her hands
(03/02 13:23:29) rarified: in Minkata-alpha (i.e. avatars, accomplishments, etc).
(03/02 13:23:56) rarified: In the best possible worlds, Minkata-alpha will follow thing you change in Minkata
(03/02 13:24:09) Rabbit: oooooo
(03/02 13:24:11) rarified: every time you switch back and forth. But things you change in Minkata-alpha will stay
(03/02 13:24:28) rarified: there, until we need to do a vault reset. At that time Minkata-alpha will become a copy
(03/02 13:24:36) rarified: of Minkata at that moment.
(03/02 13:24:53) axenna: I dont have that shard. may be time to change that
(03/02 13:24:55) rarified: So you won't need to sign up for a new accont on Minkata-alpha, to be able to play.
(03/02 13:25:02) Rabbit: yep
(03/02 13:25:05) kathrynid: oK
(03/02 13:25:17) SAL: Active now
(03/02 13:25:25) rarified: There will be a small batch file you pick up from the OpenUru Foundry website that
(03/02 13:25:51) rarified: allows you to switch your existing Minkata files directly to Minkata-alpha and back,
(03/02 13:26:07) rarified: so you won't have to go through a complete install again.
(03/02 13:26:22) rarified: Now, to set expectations about the fan content.
(03/02 13:26:42) rarified: I *know* that the current MOULa client (and Minkata client) still crash when attemptiung
(03/02 13:27:00) rarified: to load a fan age. The first goal of Minkata-alpha will be to make the client and content
(03/02 13:27:18) rarified: available to the fan creators as well as programmers willing to help debug the problem.
(03/02 13:27:36) rarified: So, at first, you won't likely be able to get into a fan age.
(03/02 13:27:58) rarified: But as we make progress, a fan age will start to work.
(03/02 13:28:11) Adam {Hoikas} idly notes he has already told rarified the problem
(03/02 13:28:24) rarified: We still don't have a fan nexus ready for testing, so the initial Minkata-alpha client will
(03/02 13:28:44) rarified: be an internal client that has the commands to load an age by the back doors.
(03/02 13:29:08) rarified: I'm still hoping to use Doobes' age as the initial test age, but if that turns out to be
(03/02 13:29:28) rarified: too complex , we'll reset and use a simple age. Several authors have come forward
(03/02 13:29:40) Doobes: I figure given the amount of junk in that Pub, it'd be a good stress test. 😛
(03/02 13:29:52) rarified: to volunteer making simple ages, such as an empty box that you can get trapped in 😀
(03/02 13:30:00) rarified: We will see.
(03/02 13:30:21) rarified: Keep up on the Minkata shard topic on the OpenUru forums. http://forums.openuru.org
(03/02 13:30:46) rarified: I'm thinking that in about two weeks I'll be able to announce an opening of Minkata-alpha
(03/02 13:30:52) rarified: if all goes well.

(03/02 13:31:32) axenna cheers
(03/02 13:31:38) rarified: need to enlist Cyan to start developing the process to move ages to MOULa.
(03/02 13:31:44) Telrov claps his hands

(03/02 13:32:20) Korov'ev: Our next question is from JJ_Wolf75.
(03/02 13:32:20) Korov'ev: [JJ_Wolf75] What does MOSS stands for?
(03/02 13:32:20) axenna: Thats some good wordsmithing, trigg.

(03/02 13:32:41) jtrigg: Thanks Guvnor!
(03/02 13:32:47) rarified: MOSS is the Myst-online Open Source Server. It is a game server that was written
(03/02 13:32:48) TT101: What do you mean by 'progress'?
(03/02 13:33:08) rarified: by fans and it's release coincided with the open source release of the game client.
(03/02 13:33:29) rarified: I use it on Minkata because it was developed entirely by reverse engineering the
(03/02 13:33:53) rarified: official MOUL network protocol, and is the most faithful (IMHO) server that matches the
(03/02 13:34:02) rarified: official game server from Cyan.
(03/02 13:34:22) Korov'ev: Our next question is from KittyRenee.
(03/02 13:34:22) Korov'ev: [KittyRenee] please, where to find Minkata shard?
(03/02 13:34:49) rarified: There is a signup page on the “Foundry” OpenUru web page. http://foundry.openuru.org
(03/02 13:35:10) Korov'ev: An off-the-queue question: can you explain the difference between a Vault reset and a Vault wipe?
(03/02 13:35:44) Emor D'ni Lap: many here do not know what the Vault represents
(03/02 13:35:49) rarified: Hmmm, good question. Usually we talk about a “Vault Wipe”, which means the whole server
(03/02 13:35:59) Ro”Jethhe groans
(03/02 13:36:09) rarified: is reset, and all accounts, avatars, and accomplishments are lost.
(03/02 13:36:15) Ro”Jethhe cries
(03/02 13:36:22) Ro”Jethhe sneezes
(03/02 13:36:30) rarified: This happens only during a catastrophy when the database has been destroyed.
(03/02 13:36:31) kathrynid gasps
(03/02 13:36:34) Adam {Hoikas}: (there is no difference)
(03/02 13:36:37) rarified: Thankfully, very rare.
(03/02 13:36:51) SAL cringes
(03/02 13:36:58) rarified: A “Vault Reset” in the context of Minkata and Minkata-alpha is where the Minkata-alpha
(03/02 13:37:00) Korov'ev: but expected on a testing shard
(03/02 13:37:14) Ro”Jethhe: So basicly just what happened in Sept. of 2014?
(03/02 13:37:15) rarified: vault is reset to exactly match the contents of the Minkata shard.
(03/02 13:37:38) Atuna Minkata: wipe = erasure

(03/02 13:37:52) rarified: we change which age is being offered on Minkata-alpha.
(03/02 13:37:54) Ro”Jethhe is sorta bummed…
(03/02 13:38:07) Korov'ev: Our next question is from kathrynid.
(03/02 13:38:08) Korov'ev: [kathrynid] what exactly is Minkata-Alpha? Is it like an online site or something?
(03/02 13:38:11) SAL: As it goe
(03/02 13:38:14) rarified: You just will lose the accomplishments you reached on -alpha
(03/02 13:38:16) Doobes: Eh, if it's meant for testing, breaking stuff can be a good thing…if we learn something from it. 😉
(03/02 13:38:17) SAL: Goes
(03/02 13:38:24) Atuna Minkata: 'you mean, “with a cloth?”'

(03/02 13:40:44) Tweek claps his hands
(03/02 13:40:53) KittyRenee: shorah
(03/02 13:40:56) Doobes: I'm back with a quick update of how things are going with the Ages of Doobes ™…specifically, one of the five I'm intending to release soon.
(03/02 13:41:16) Doobes: In this case, Veelay Tsahvahn, aka the memorial Age, is nearly complete…and just recently, one big piece of the Age was added!
(03/02 13:41:34) Doobes: For the first time ever, one of my Ages will feature original music…courtesy of Mystler!
(03/02 13:41:53) Doobes: For those who aren't aware, Mystler is the admin of the popular Open Cave shard, but not only that, he's also a very talented musician, and the score he created for Veelay is yet another excellent example.
(03/02 13:42:28) Doobes: The track, appropriately titled “House of Reminiscence”, captures exactly what I was going for with the Age as far as tone. All it took was a WIP version of the Age to run around in and some choice words and Mystler…in just a couple of days, I might add…created something very special.
(03/02 13:42:29) axenna: Oooooo!
(03/02 13:42:42) Doobes: He really did an amazing job on it, and I'm hopeful he'll be up for more collaborations with me in the future.
(03/02 13:42:43) axenna: Thats awesome1
(03/02 13:42:45) Tweek: Sweet!
(03/02 13:42:53) Korov'ev: music!
(03/02 13:42:53) Rabbit cheers
(03/02 13:42:58) Doobes: I'm still debating whether to release the track ahead of the Age itself (I hate to tie an artist's hands), but while I'm deciding, you can have a listen to Mystler's other work on his website, https://www.mystler.eu.
(03/02 13:43:14) Doobes: There, you'll find both of the albums he has released so far: “The Great Traverse” (his first) and the most recent “Seraphim: The Ufumuk Invasion”, the latter of which is a soundtrack to an original sci-fi universe of his creation.
(03/02 13:43:31) Doobes: The accompanying digital booklet also features artwork by another talented artist from the cavern: Tweek!
(03/02 13:43:38) Doobes nods to Tweek
(03/02 13:43:51) Tweek: >.>
(03/02 13:43:56) Doobes: So! While you wait for Veelay Tsahvahn's release…along with the revamped Pub, Chiso Preniv, The Vale, and Kotsahvosahn…give his other work a listen and, if you like, send him a note about what you think!
(03/02 13:44:14) Doobes: The greatest thing we artists can get is constructive feedback. In fact, Mystler even gave me some for Veelay that'll make the Age even better. 😀
(03/02 13:44:40) Doobes: On a related but sadder note, you may have heard about the passing of Jeff Zandi, a friend of the Miller brothers and inspiration for the character you meet sitting by the Airstream up on the surface by the cleft.
(03/02 13:45:10) Doobes: I've added an entry for him into the Age's in-game journals along with the others. Note that I take writing submissions if anyone wants to say a little something about any of the explorers who have passed and have it added to the journals for all to read.
(03/02 13:45:39) Korov'ev: You can hear his actual voice in two unused clips in the MOULa sfx folder: clftEdog.ogg and clftEdog02.ogg
(03/02 13:45:48) Korov'ev: And read some bio here: http://tysmtgblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/jeff-zandi-and-texas-magic-hall-of-fame.html
(03/02 13:45:58) Doobes: Ah, nice. Thanks, Kor.
(03/02 13:46:07) Doobes: If you have such a submission, be sure to mention who it's for and send it to agesofdoobes@gmail.com. It'll be added, unedited, to the corresponding book entry for the person in question. You can write as little or as much as you'd like (within reason).
(03/02 13:46:23) Doobes: If there happens to be a name missing you would like added, I can do that too if provided some details about the person.
(03/02 13:46:39) Doobes: While these journals will be semi-regularly updated depending on how shard owners would like to handle things, the best way to get things added right away is to visit the In Memoriam wiki page (http://wiki.openuru.org/index.php?title=In_Memoriam).
(03/02 13:46:58) Doobes: If you sign up there, you can edit the wiki to add and edit things, and anything added will eventually also be put into Veelay's in-game books as well.
(03/02 13:47:11) Tweek: Kor> Those Edog clips aren't Zandi's real voice, those clips are voiced by Edog iirc.
(03/02 13:47:21) Doobes: As with the other Ages, I'm hoping to release them near simultaneously on Gehn Shard, The Open Cave, Deep Island and offline URU…then eventually Minkata Shard (either or) and finally MOULa.
(03/02 13:47:25) KittyRenee: I'm assuming Zandi's name has been added to the scrolling memorial in the damaged underground Pub in D'ni?
(03/02 13:47:40) Tweek: I believe so Kitty.
(03/02 13:47:41) Rabbit: yes it has
(03/02 13:47:47) Ro”Jethhe: His name has been added.
(03/02 13:47:51) KittyRenee: thanks
(03/02 13:47:52) Doobes: Cyan is usually pretty good about that. 🙂
(03/02 13:47:56) Doobes: To keep up with Veelay and all of my work, you can visit my site, http://agesofdoobes.wordpress.com, and my Facebook pages at http://www.facebook.com/agesofdoobes/.
(03/02 13:48:04) bella1: ty
(03/02 13:48:06) Doobes: With all that in mind, any questions?
(03/02 13:48:34) Rabbit: I sent one
(03/02 13:48:38) SAL thanks you
(03/02 13:48:46) Korov'ev: Rabbit asks if you're serious about pets, she just lost one of her rab bits
(03/02 13:49:08) bella1: aww Rabbit so sorry
(03/02 13:49:13) Rabbit: I saw your facebook post about pets
(03/02 13:49:18) Ro”Jethhe says DOH!
(03/02 13:49:19) Doobes: Ah, she may be referring to my latest post of FB. I added a little cat statue for a pet I lost a little over a year ago.
(03/02 13:49:23) SAL: Aw the one that would not eat??
(03/02 13:49:29) Doobes: And yes, Rabbit, I'm sorry to hear that. :/
(03/02 13:49:31) Rabbit: different one
(03/02 13:49:40) Rabbit cries
(03/02 13:49:50) RowanF: That is sad!
(03/02 13:49:56) SAL: Sorry bout that
(03/02 13:50:06) axenna is sad for Rabbit 🙁
(03/02 13:50:07) Doobes: While it IS a cat statue, it's meant to symbolize any pet, as they can be just as important to us as their human counterparts. It's not as big a part of the Age, but I wanted to add a little something for them too.
(03/02 13:50:13) KittyRenee: sorry about your fur baby, Rabbit
(03/02 13:50:21) axenna: I love that Doobes, thats super sweet
(03/02 13:50:22) RowanF: Ya!
(03/02 13:50:46) Doobes: That really is the purpose of the Age…a place to gather and mourn those we've lost, either here from the cavern or just from life in general.
(03/02 13:51:05) bella1 agrees
(03/02 13:51:08) Korov'ev claps his hands

(03/02 13:52:49) Tweek: If you wish to submit some writing for the Age you can do so here: http://dniexplorer.com/fahsee
(03/02 13:53:12) Tweek: To those of you who have submitted something, thank you. I have recieved your submissions.
(03/02 13:53:14) KittyRenee: wht is Eder Fahsee, please?
(03/02 13:53:25) Doobes: Tweek's fan Age, Kitty.
(03/02 13:53:40) Tweek: Eder Fahsee is an Age I wrote/built to celebrate Myst's 25th Anniversary.
(03/02 13:53:43) KittyRenee: thanks. which shard?
(03/02 13:53:50) KittyRenee: cool!
(03/02 13:53:51) Doobes: Shhhh…we're getting there, Kitty. 😉
(03/02 13:53:58) KittyRenee: sorry lol
(03/02 13:54:03) Ro”Jethhe: Drum Roll…
(03/02 13:54:12) Korov'ev: I`m here for the questions…
(03/02 13:54:33) SAL points
(03/02 13:54:37) Tweek: I'm collecting submissions from fans regarding their first experiences with Myst and the impact it's had on them. Which will be added to the library within the Age itself.
(03/02 13:54:50) kathrynid: Wow cool
(03/02 13:55:00) Tweek: The Age isn't released yet, but I'll be putting it out there for people to add to their shards if they so wish.
(03/02 13:55:22) Tweek: Any questions?
(03/02 13:55:59) Korov'ev: which shards are you planning to release it on?
(03/02 13:56:56) Tweek: Gehn is most likely if Hoikas is interested. I'll be putting a UruCC version out on Beneath so I expect the shards that run the older Uru version may use it.
(03/02 13:57:09) Tweek: It really depends on who wants it on their shards really.
(03/02 13:57:29) Tweek: I would like to get it onto this Shard in the future when we're at that point.
(03/02 13:57:46) radioflux: Cyan should want it on their shard 😉
(03/02 13:57:50) Adam {Hoikas}: I give it a high probability of arriving on Gehn. Maybe then I can be bothered to package up all these QOL fixes lying around…
(03/02 13:57:55) Korov'ev: I bet diafero will want it 😉
(03/02 13:58:22) Doobes: We shall throw content at diafero until he doesn't. 😛
(03/02 13:58:29) Tweek: lol
(03/02 13:58:33) Dulcamara: Lol
(03/02 13:58:33) Korov'ev: he he
(03/02 13:58:40) Tweek: Any other questions?
(03/02 13:58:45) vid: Would you say that any day after March 9th will be too late?
(03/02 13:58:55) jtrigg: He'll probably duck!
(03/02 13:59:09) Tweek: Depends how far after march 9th.
(03/02 13:59:25) vid: Mmm. So not canon yet.
(03/02 13:59:28) vid sits quietly

(03/02 14:01:09) MorganLapahie: A year ago, after the 2018 March AGM, several of you “volunteered” to let Mir-o-bot transport you to the MystiTech neighbourhood to act as extras in a flashback scene for The Lost Art.
(03/02 14:01:24) MorganLapahie: That scene, filmed by Joanne Fisher and Kayara, is coming up in Episode 9. I managed to persuade Korov'ev and Mirphak to play the parts of Kodama and Laxman.
(03/02 14:01:26) Rabbit: yep!
(03/02 14:01:31) axenna: Ooooo!
(03/02 14:01:38) MorganLapahie: Amazingly they weren't put off by the technical issues we had that night, for they have been with us ever since. And not only as avatar operators. Korov'ev has become both our main photographer and one of our editors.

(03/02 14:01:59) MorganLapahie: As for Mirphak, not only has he deputised several of us as ancillary bots, he has developed some stunning set lighting. So much so that we ended up re-filming several scenes!
(03/02 14:02:00) RowanF claps her hands
(03/02 14:02:01) Davide claps his hands
(03/02 14:02:03) Rabbit: Yeah!!! Korov'ev
(03/02 14:02:11) Korov'ev: One thing that has transformed filming is the latest version of the H'uru client created by the Guild of Writers. This version has KI commands that allow us to save the costumes and other parameters of all our main characters.
(03/02 14:02:12) axenna: You guys are amazing
(03/02 14:02:22) Rabbit: yeah Mirphak!
(03/02 14:02:26) Korov'ev: Which means that if someone should crash in the middle of a shoot we can have other avatars on standby that can be properly dressed and made up with a simple KI command.
(03/02 14:02:38) Korov'ev: oops!
(03/02 14:02:39) Doobes: Understudies!
(03/02 14:02:41) Rabbit: cool!
(03/02 14:02:43) Doobes: Oh dear.
(03/02 14:02:48) Korov'ev: If you have seen Episode 6, you will have seen two of the new sets created for us by Dulcamara and Doobes.

(03/02 14:03:19) axenna: Bye Rowan
(03/02 14:03:32) Korov'ev: A third set is coming up in episode 8, and just recently Dulcamara has started work on something that will appear at the start of Season Three.
(03/02 14:03:46) Doobes: Yay!
(03/02 14:03:56) SAL: Absolutely lost
(03/02 14:04:05) Rabbit: Yay Dulca!
(03/02 14:04:16) Dulcamara: :-)))
(03/02 14:04:24) Korov'ev: let`s see if we can rescue Morgan!
(03/02 14:04:29) Ro”Jethhe: I bet Dulca is making Alabaster even LARGER!
(03/02 14:04:36) Dulcamara: Looooooool
(03/02 14:04:40) KittyRenee: yep
(03/02 14:04:42) Rabbit: oh noooooeeeeees

(03/02 14:04:58) Dulcamara: Only a new station
(03/02 14:05:07) Ro”Jethhe: Part 4?
(03/02 14:05:16) Dulcamara: 4 an 5
(03/02 14:05:22) jtrigg: I have absolutely no idea as to what is going on just now!
(03/02 14:05:23) Ro”Jethhe faints.
(03/02 14:05:25) Korov'ev: those bahro, playing tricks!
(03/02 14:05:26) PodHopper: omg
(03/02 14:05:30) axenna looks blank

(03/02 14:05:44) MorganLapahie: We also want to thank both Larry and Tweek for some stunning graphics that will appear this season. It is such a joy to be able to draw on the creativity of so many of our community.
(03/02 14:05:47) PodHopper: thanks
(03/02 14:05:48) SAL: I am lost
(03/02 14:05:53) KittyRenee: Dulcamara doesn't do anything small 🙂
(03/02 14:05:58) Rabbit: noooo
(03/02 14:06:00) Dulcamara claps her hands for Morgan
(03/02 14:06:02) axenna: Brb
(03/02 14:06:03) Ro”Jethhe: AMEN!
(03/02 14:06:09) Tweek: Damn that Tweek guy gets around 😐
(03/02 14:06:13) MorganLapahie: To that end I'd like to thank Minasunda, the NULP dancers, Mirphak and Yoda for inspiration. After the 25th Anniversary NULP dance show, Mirphak showed me one of the scripts he'd written to control the dancers.
(03/02 14:06:18) Doobes: Indeed he does.
(03/02 14:06:38) MorganLapahie: I think he might be regretting that now, because I've been pushing him to create several for The Lost Art! Ditto with Yoda and the light show he put on at Christmas.
(03/02 14:06:50) Rabbit starts to laugh
(03/02 14:06:54) Mirphak says DOH!
(03/02 14:07:01) Elijah2 claps his hands
(03/02 14:07:02) MorganLapahie: Recently I asked him and Lu to come to a special-effects brainstorming session. There and then we conscripted Lu into playing a part for a scene we were filming, and the two of them have now joined our team.
(03/02 14:07:17) Rabbit roars with laughter
(03/02 14:07:20) MorganLapahie: Which means our film set has become truly multilingual: thank heaven for Google Translate!
(03/02 14:07:22) Ro”Jethhe: A lot of sleepless nights ahead for you Mir
(03/02 14:07:42) TGMChrist want a Bahro to protect him from the evil Bahro Nekisahloth who attack him at 2015.
(03/02 14:07:52) Mirphak: yes Ro
(03/02 14:08:04) Korov'ev: As to when future episodes will be released: episodes 7, 8 and 9 are completely filmed and edited, apart from a few pickups. The two things that are holding up their release are the music and the titles sequence.
(03/02 14:08:08) MorganLapahie: Back to you, Kor
(03/02 14:08:22) Korov'ev: We are also well along in the filming and editing of episodes 10 and 11. So please don't lose interest. We continue to work on the project every weekend, and we hope you are all keen to see further revelations in The Lost Art story.
(03/02 14:08:34) MorganLapahie: yes
(03/02 14:08:34) Korov'ev: Any questions?
(03/02 14:09:16) SAL cowers
(03/02 14:09:31) MorganLapahie: So I guess that is all? Any questions?

(03/02 14:09:59) MorganLapahie: And I only crashed once, that has to be a record for me!!
(03/02 14:10:05) Doobes laughs
(03/02 14:10:07) Rabbit cheers
(03/02 14:10:08) Dulcamara: Lol
(03/02 14:10:13) Christian Walther: Maybe you can explain what The Lost Art is for those who are not familiar.
(03/02 14:10:15) Korov'ev: I guess you can go back to the alternate reality 🙂
(03/02 14:10:18)
(03/02 14:10:28) SAL: Yes please do
(03/02 14:10:31) MorganLapahie: Oh, dear, where to start…

(03/02 14:11:36) MorganLapahie: It is best if you can go to YouTube and search for MystiTech Productions. Then watch the first video called Passing the Torch.

(03/02 14:12:10) TGMChrist: Still waiting of Episode 7
(03/02 14:12:11) MorganLapahie: That tells a bit of the backstory, leading up to the establishment of a DRC archives.
(03/02 14:12:17) Ro”Jethhe: It's the MYST movie that never got off the ground.
(03/02 14:13:07) MorganLapahie: Thanks! Ro. When we first wrote to Cyan to ask permission to do this, we told them “Let's see who gets their Myst story done first!”
(03/02 14:13:14) Korov'ev: more or less 🙂
(03/02 14:13:15) KittyRenee: TTYL for now
(03/02 14:13:20) BIG thumbs up from Ro”Jethhe
(03/02 14:13:36) Korov'ev: Our next question is from JJ_Wolf75.

(03/02 14:13:42) Korov'ev: this one!

(03/02 14:14:07) Adam {Hoikas}: HAX!
(03/02 14:14:09) Doobes: Using some hacks and magic tricks, of course.
(03/02 14:14:13) MorganLapahie: Yes, this one. But we film in private instances, because Mirphak is often doing magic
(03/02 14:14:13) Adam {Hoikas} throws CRT monitor
(03/02 14:14:21) Doobes: Good (or evil?) programming. Hehehe.
(03/02 14:14:29) MorganLapahie: Also, we have bahro characters, which you will have seen in Episode 6.

(02/02 13:10:35) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁
(02/02 13:10:46) Max: So… I have a couple of Musical Events to inform you all about… Please wait with any questions you might have till I'm done…
(02/02 13:11:03) Max: The Sunday Music Sessions took a 'Pause' for a recharge… or to 'Reload' for a while… But the Sessions will continue again at the end of February… So the next Session [#12] will be on Sunday Feb. 24th… And more dates will be added to that later on…
(02/02 13:11:29) Max: The theme this time on 24th is “From Cover to Cover”… And I will mostly play [if not all of it] “covers”… And again, any suggestions or requests for great “covers” to play are most welcome!!!
(02/02 13:12:01) Max: Now… over to another music thing that has become a Yearly Event… The International Women's Day on March 8th [this year a Friday]… When we've always played music, all with & by female artists or groups…
(02/02 13:12:28) Max: This time I'd encourage All Our Female Explorers… girls & women or DJ's [wannabees] to STEP UP!…
(02/02 13:12:55) Max: SO… MAKE a Tracklist & PLAY… It's easy to stream, and RFD crew or Me can help you out with the details on that!
(02/02 13:13:13) Max: OR… MAKE a Tracklist… THEN any of us resident DJ's [who are on the URUTUNES] could play that for you…
(02/02 13:13:33) Max: OR… JUST make requests or suggestions for tracks to PLAY… And I can compile a session or two & play it all…
(02/02 13:14:08) Max: OR… ANY Combo of these three…
(02/02 13:14:24) Max: I'll put up some more detailed Info regarding all of this on the MOULa Forums soon'ish…
(02/02 13:14:41) Max: And lastly…
(02/02 13:14:55) Max: As time flies quickly around here… We have the International Mother Earth's Day coming up soon… That's on April 22nd… I think we can promise you all…
(02/02 13:15:20) Max: Something… 22nd is a Monday. So maybe the weekend 19th to 21st & 22nd is best suited for good measures for any Events… But more on that around April's AGM…
(02/02 13:15:48) Max: and that's enough for now, I think… any questions?
(02/02 13:15:55) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Kayara.
(02/02 13:15:55) Korov'ev: [Kayara] Do you mean female solo artists or female-only groups or also groups with maybe a female singer?
(02/02 13:16:12) Max: all of that counts, sure
(02/02 13:16:50) Max: or duets male/female is ok too, I think

(02/02 13:17:33) Minasunda claps her hands
(02/02 13:17:42) Korov'ev: While people are partying, the Guild of Hax– Writers has been busy scheming…
(02/02 13:17:57) Rabbit: ooooooh
(02/02 13:17:59) Korov'ev: and their latest plot produced a new version of Korman, the Age creation plugin for Blender!
(02/02 13:18:09) Acorn1: Yay!
(02/02 13:18:14) TGMChrist: Great
(02/02 13:18:15) Korov'ev: Version 0.08 focuses on ease of use and intuitive extensions of existing functions;
(02/02 13:18:24) Korov'ev: you can now copy/paste modifiers, pack Age Python scripts automatically, and generate the Journal files automatically.
(02/02 13:18:25) Night-Tripper: ?
(02/02 13:18:32) Rabbit: is there anything intuitive about blender?
(02/02 13:18:42) Korov'ev: very handy, technical stuff 🙂
(02/02 13:19:00) Lushun: cool
(02/02 13:19:05) J'Kla: Only when you have been using it a few years
(02/02 13:19:12) Rabbit starts to laugh
(02/02 13:19:13) Korov'ev: they do love to change the GUI from time to time
(02/02 13:19:15) Night-Tripper will stick to exploring
(02/02 13:19:31) Korov'ev: For more info, check the forum thread at https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6982
(02/02 13:19:49) Korov'ev: And speaking of Age creation, this year has had a promising start, with plenty of new Ages been announced!
(02/02 13:19:51) Grandbad will just stick
(02/02 13:20:09) Korov'ev: Not only that, but things are (somewhat) moving on the Intangibles front, the project to complete Cyan's Ages and bring fan Ages to MOULa.
(02/02 13:20:24) Night-Tripper: allright
(02/02 13:20:26) Korov'ev claps his hands

(02/02 13:21:29) Lushun claps her hands
(02/02 13:21:31) Grandbad laughs
(02/02 13:21:32) Tweek: It's true, I come with Intangibles news…shock..horror and all that jazz.
(02/02 13:22:00) Rabbit is turning purple
(02/02 13:22:08) Korov'ev: D`ni jazz, that is
(02/02 13:22:18) Max: I kinda like jazz nowadays…
(02/02 13:22:22) Tweek: So modeling work on the Gateway Nexus has now been completed. I am currently just doing some final checks over it to make sure nothing is missing or messed up before I send it to Hoikas and Del to hook up.
(02/02 13:22:40) Rabbit exhales
(02/02 13:22:59) Tweek: For those of you who may not be aware, the Gateway Nexus was one of several projects being worked on that will serve as an access point for fan content on Cyan's shard.
(02/02 13:23:03) Acorn1: Woot!
(02/02 13:23:13) Rabbit cheers
(02/02 13:23:26) Floyd says OMG!
(02/02 13:23:27) Korov'ev: (and a key one, too)
(02/02 13:23:28) TGMChrist cheers
(02/02 13:23:28) Night-Tripper throws money
(02/02 13:23:47) Tweek: I know things have been moving at a very slow pace. It's frustrating for not just you guys but for us building the stuff too.
(02/02 13:23:50) Max: over here N-T… me too
(02/02 13:24:22) Tweek: I've recently posted some in game screenshots over at my Age Building page on FB – https://www.facebook.com/agesoftweek/
(02/02 13:25:01) Aristocat is drinking some milk
(02/02 13:25:08) Tweek: And Rawa was nice enough to assist on helping to form some of the lore behind the Gateway Nexus
(02/02 13:25:20) Rabbit cheers
(02/02 13:25:22) Lushun: 🙂
(02/02 13:25:30) Kayara: wooooot
(02/02 13:25:30) cjherkeless: wow.
(02/02 13:25:31) TGMChrist: WOW
(02/02 13:25:36) Grandbad passes the mints around
(02/02 13:25:36) Max: oooowh… amazing! how's RAWA doing?
(02/02 13:26:06) Tweek: He's not 100% still. You can keep up with how he's doing on his Caring Bridge page.
(02/02 13:26:38) Tweek: So despite the seemingly standstill atmosphere behind Intangibles, stuff is still moving forward 🙂
(02/02 13:26:57) Acorn1: Great news! Thanks, Tweek!
(02/02 13:27:06) Korov'ev cheers
(02/02 13:27:07) Grandbad claps
(02/02 13:27:09) Max: indeed great news!
(02/02 13:27:11) Rabbit claps her hands
(02/02 13:27:12) etelka cheers
(02/02 13:27:14) TGMChrist claps his hands
(02/02 13:27:14) Tweek: Secondly, Eder Fahsee. For those of you who were at the AGM last month you will be familiar with Eder Fahsee, to those of you who weren't Eder Fahsee is an Age I have Written to celebrate Myst's 25th Anniversary.
(02/02 13:27:14) Minasunda claps her hands
(02/02 13:27:16) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
(02/02 13:27:22) Theo cheers
(02/02 13:27:31) Tweek: We are taking written submissions from the explorer community chronicling their first interactions with Myst and the impact it had on their lives. If you're interested in contributing to this project please check out http://dniexplorer.com/fahsee and if you wish to submit something you can do so via the contact form on that page.
(02/02 13:27:43) Tweek: Deadline for submissions has now been pushed back to the 9th of March 2019 to give people a bit more time to submit something.
(02/02 13:28:19) Lama Kni claps his hands
(02/02 13:28:22) bella1 cheers
(02/02 13:28:26) Rabbit claps her hands
(02/02 13:28:34) Tweek: And lastly, an interim build of Fahets is due for release soon.
(02/02 13:28:34) Lushun: great impact on my life, sure 🙂
(02/02 13:29:11) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Theo.
(02/02 13:29:11) Korov'ev: [Theo] So, where will that Gateway Nexus be installed first?
(02/02 13:29:48) Tweek: This interim build is based on the first version of Fahets but with updated textures and geometry to bring it more in line with the newer build. This interim build is a stop gap before I release the version 2 which makes the Age a lot larger.
(02/02 13:30:24) Tweek: The Gateway Nexus when Hoikas and Del have done their stuff will be sent over to the Open Uru guys for testing before moving to Cyan's shard
(02/02 13:31:27) Tweek: Any other questions?
(02/02 13:31:39) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Theo.
(02/02 13:31:40) Korov'ev: [Theo] That shard of Cyan's being Minkata Shard or Here?
(02/02 13:31:47) Tweek: Here
(02/02 13:31:50) Floyd: Sounds like I should be funneling my money over to you other than 59 volts?
(02/02 13:32:03) Korov'ev: so Minkata, then MOULa
(02/02 13:32:08) Tweek: Yes
(02/02 13:32:23) Theo cheers
(02/02 13:32:25) Korov'ev: possibly Gehn before that?
(02/02 13:32:49) Tweek: Don't know Gehn just adds Fan Ages anyway..so they probably wouldn't need the Gateway
(02/02 13:33:08) Korov'ev: right
(02/02 13:33:17) Tweek: Especially seeming they are more selective on what Ages they add.
(02/02 13:34:02) Korov'ev: hopefully less than that 🙂
(02/02 13:34:12) Korov'ev: oops
(02/02 13:34:25) Korov'ev claps his hands
(02/02 13:34:25) Korov'ev: Thank you Tweek!

(02/02 13:35:03) Kayara claps her hands
(02/02 13:35:06) Korov'ev: But there's more!
(02/02 13:35:15) Korov'ev: Writer matthornb recently posted on Facebook about the five (5) Ages he's been working on: Sevkor, D'ni Temple, Eder Vikae, Nay'elas, and Alepahnay.
(02/02 13:35:21) Floyd: no way!!!!
(02/02 13:35:36) Korov'ev: Part of D'ni Temple (area 1) is already available for offline and online visitors, but will be vastly expanded with areas 2 and 3;
(02/02 13:35:52) Rabbit: when?
(02/02 13:35:53) Korov'ev: you might have heard about Sevkor in discussions about porting fan Ages into MOULa, as one of the proposed ways to access them (the more the better, I'd say);
(02/02 13:35:53) Night-Tripper: where?
(02/02 13:36:07) Korov'ev: Eder Vikae, Nay'elas, and Alepahnay are all new Ages, loosely inspired by old concepts.
(02/02 13:36:25) Aristocat is looking forward
(02/02 13:36:30) Korov'ev: Very SoonTM 🙂
(02/02 13:36:35) Night-Tripper is panting with excitment
(02/02 13:36:37) Korov'ev: On top of that, he'll release a Unity remake of Sehv T'devokan, his standalone game, including a version that can be played in a web browser.
(02/02 13:36:54) Korov'ev: He is planning to release them very soon for offline Uru and any shards willing to host them (as Korman allows to easily export for both types).
(02/02 13:37:08) Rabbit: wow
(02/02 13:37:17) Korov'ev: You can read more about matthornb's creations at: http://www.mystfanart.org/myfanart.html
(02/02 13:37:29) Rabbit wonders about the endlessly elastic definition of 'soon'
(02/02 13:37:36) Korov'ev: Speaking of fan Ages, the ultimate goal is to get them on MOULa itself!

(02/02 13:37:49) Korov'ev: The last step before that is getting them to Minkata.
(02/02 13:38:03) Korov'ev claps his hands
(02/02 13:38:03) Korov'ev: So, let's hear the latest news from OpenUru's shard from… rarified!
(02/02 13:38:06) Night-Tripper: need beta testers?

(02/02 13:39:09) Mirphak: shorah rarified
(02/02 13:39:16) rarified: It's been a long time — far too long — since I last took an opportunity
(02/02 13:39:25) Max: it's like we've got a second X-mas…
(02/02 13:39:55) Floyd: begotten bootie
(02/02 13:40:02) rarified: to talk to you.
(02/02 13:40:22) rarified: [Apologies for some duplicates sent to individuals, it's my first time cut-n-pasting]
(02/02 13:40:46) rarified: Today, I'd like to give what I'm calling a “State of Minkata” report.
(02/02 13:40:58) Floyd: yay
(02/02 13:41:05) rarified: There are many reasons for delays in development on the Minkata
(02/02 13:41:25) rarified: shard including the fact that the game server MOSS needed to
(02/02 13:41:54) rarified: be rebuilt. For more details on that, please see my post at
(02/02 13:42:09) rarified: http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=1017
(02/02 13:42:22) rarified: Now for the current “State of Minkata”.
(02/02 13:42:35) rarified: Since the beginning of the year I have been able to spend a fair amount
(02/02 13:43:00) rarified: of time trying to narrow down the possible causes for the Minkata bug that
(02/02 13:43:10) rarified: people have encountered since last fall about age state not being saved.
(02/02 13:43:25) rarified: See http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=1012
(02/02 13:43:31) Acorn1: Yup!
(02/02 13:43:36) rarified: During this time I've disabled all previously existing accounts
(02/02 13:43:45) rarified: on Minkata, which makes it much easier to debug things with a new
(02/02 13:43:55) rarified: Vault. Minkata is still locked down today. The existing Vault has
(02/02 13:44:04) rarified: been saved and I will try to restore it when I've fixed the bug.
(02/02 13:44:13) rarified: I am continuing to work on it, now with a fairly consistent schedule of
(02/02 13:44:21) rarified: time each week. I don't know what the problem is yet, so I can't give
(02/02 13:44:27) rarified: you a schedule on a fix. I do know I have a few more days of work before
(02/02 13:44:36) rarified: I can test an updated MOSS.
(02/02 13:44:44) rarified: I've written about these issues in more detail in my post and hope that
(02/02 13:44:52) rarified: the coders in the community will take a look and see if they have any
(02/02 13:44:59) rarified: suggestions or assistance they can offer.
(02/02 13:45:06) rarified: Once these issue can be resolved, more testing will be needed and then
(02/02 13:45:14) rarified: I have some fan created content ready for testing.
(02/02 13:45:20) Acorn1: Ooh!
(02/02 13:45:21) rarified: So in conclusion, I'm saying that while you have not heard anything
(02/02 13:45:30) rarified: from me about Minkata and Fan Content for a long time, there has been
(02/02 13:45:39) rarified: considerable work being done to reach the point where we can deploy
(02/02 13:45:45) rarified: it in a testing framework. And once that barrier has been broken,
(02/02 13:45:52) rarified: the community can start working with Cyan to finish the bridge to MOULa
(02/02 13:46:02) Floyd: we can break it again
(02/02 13:46:02) rarified: Thank you.

(02/02 13:50:52) Korov'ev: (brace yourselves for a wall of text)
(02/02 13:51:03) Korov'ev: The #Myst25 DVDs have all been shipped; if you don't have yours yet, you should try contacting support@cyan.com (although sending more than one is of no use and might contribute to slowing down things). Cyan will reach out to any backers whose DVDs are being returned due to various delivery issues.
(02/02 13:51:28) Night-Tripper: just got my prize
(02/02 13:51:36) Korov'ev: Inkwells and linking books are being shipped separately, as doing otherwise would have delayed shipping by several months for everyone, with an increased chance being damaged. If you do receive damaged rewards, or with missing pieces, contact support@cyan.com and include pictures of the damages.
(02/02 13:51:58) Tweek: Got my Myst books the other day..they are stunning.
(02/02 13:52:06) Rabbit: oui Jan
(02/02 13:52:15) Korov'ev: (still waiting mine…)
(02/02 13:52:21) Korov'ev: If you haven't received the physical rewards, don't panic; if you have the tracking information, first try contacting your local post office. US backers are getting their books and inkwells a few weeks later than other countries.
(02/02 13:52:23) rarified taps foot.
(02/02 13:52:48) Korov'ev: Canadian backers are also getting the DVDs later than most other countries, in some cases after the books. If you haven't received them yet, don't lose hope, and try contacting your local post office.
(02/02 13:52:57) Aristocat treasures his myst books
(02/02 13:53:12) Korov'ev: Also, some backers have reported getting a virus alert when they tried to plug their linking books into their computers. It's not clear how serious the alerts are yet; putting the specific file in a Windows 10 virtual machine didn't produce any suspicious activity.
(02/02 13:53:18) Rabbit: the problem is Canada Customs
(02/02 13:53:34) Night-Tripper: sigh
(02/02 13:53:39) Korov'ev: It appears that only specific batches have them, and it's been difficult to get informations from the production factory. The investigation is still ongoing.
(02/02 13:53:53) Aristocat hates virus
(02/02 13:53:55) Night-Tripper: Chinese New year
(02/02 13:53:59) Korov'ev: Some backers never finished the Blackbox survey, or completed it long after the due date; their rewards will shipped from Cyan directly, but only after all those who did complete their surveys got them.
(02/02 13:54:04) Sleeper Jan: need a hammer?
(02/02 13:54:05) Floyd: Build a Wall
(02/02 13:54:37) Tweek: Don't need to build a Wall, there's a perfectly good one in Gahreesen that's going unused.

(02/02 13:57:25) shokhootahn Rehn: As usual, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
(02/02 13:57:37) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
(02/02 13:58:04) shokhootahn Rehn: Two more students for the current session have completed the 101 class!
(02/02 13:58:11) Rabbit cheers
(02/02 13:58:23) shokhootahn Rehn: There are still a few groups, at various stages learning the alphabet, time, and the suffixes.
(02/02 13:58:33) shokhootahn Rehn: while classes are in session, the Guild of Istructors' Hood will be closed. As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
(02/02 13:58:39) bella1 cheers
(02/02 13:58:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot's (KI #27527) advertisements to announce last-minute changes to class times.
(02/02 13:59:08) shokhootahn Rehn: You can get those advertisements by adding him as a buddy and then sending him a PM with the word: advert
(02/02 13:59:09) shokhootahn Rehn:
(02/02 13:59:26) shokhootahn Rehn: If Magic Bot is not on-line, you can also PM Mimi Bot (KI #71459) the word, as well.
(02/02 13:59:40) shokhootahn Rehn: I am in the Hood most days at 10:00 KI time and 20:00 KI time for those students who have questions regarding the current lesson.
(02/02 13:59:57) shokhootahn Rehn: I'll be announcing more graduates of the current classes at a future AGM. 🙂
(02/02 14:00:05) Rabbit cheers
(02/02 14:00:07) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions?
(02/02 14:00:08) shokhootahn Rehn:
(02/02 14:00:31) Korov'ev: none in queue
(02/02 14:01:03) shokhootahn Rehn: I guess not. Moving on…
(02/02 14:01:06) shokhootahn Rehn:
(02/02 14:01:11) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
(02/02 14:01:12) Lama Kni bows
(02/02 14:01:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Due to my traveling, Story Night – Europe is at a different stage of the history than is original Story Night.
(02/02 14:02:04) shokhootahn Rehn: For Story Night – Europe, we will be finishing the events from The Fall.
(02/02 14:02:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Please note: due to the MOULa 9th anniversary, there will be no Story Night – Europe next week. Story Night – Europe will resume on February 16… barring any last-minute travel plans. You can always check the left imager in the Hood, the bots, or the forums… though, I don't always remember to post updates in the forums.
(02/02 14:02:55) Mirphak: good night GB, take care
(02/02 14:03:12) shokhootahn Rehn: For original Story Night, we will be continue with the events in the game of Myst.
(02/02 14:03:25) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
(02/02 14:03:35) Sleeper Jan: nini GB
(02/02 14:03:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.
(02/02 14:04:07) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood's fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later. Again, I use Magic Bot to advertise changes to Story Night times for both Europe and original.
(02/02 14:04:32) shokhootahn Rehn: Times for original Story Night (Saturdays at 23:30 KI time) are unaffected by my traveling. However, they are affected by power outages due to thunderstorms… which, unfortunately, 'tis always the season. Should this be the case, I will try to aprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. 🙂
(02/02 14:04:59) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
(02/02 14:05:19) shokhootahn Rehn: r'Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r'T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he'll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender so it must be added to the body of the text.
(02/02 14:05:45) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!
(02/02 14:05:55) shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI mail so they were unable to be added.
(02/02 14:06:17) shokhootahn Rehn: Also, I use Magic Bot's (KI #27527) advertisements to announce last-minute changes to Story Night times.
(02/02 14:06:44) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
(02/02 14:06:47) shokhootahn Rehn: As an aside, both events (lessons and Story Nights) are listed on the GoMe calendar at https://bit.ly/GoMe_cal
(02/02 14:06:57) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions?
(02/02 14:07:01) Korov'ev: yes
(02/02 14:07:05) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Floyd.
(02/02 14:07:05) Korov'ev: [Floyd] question….when do the stories start over from the beginning?
(02/02 14:07:47) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is episodic, in nature. THere are a total of 104 stories, taking a full two years to complete.
(02/02 14:08:19) Korov'ev: it`s a long run!
(02/02 14:08:33) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night Europe is on story #50 and original Story Night is on story #67
(02/02 14:09:00) shokhootahn Rehn: So… we are about half-way through. 🙂

(01/05 13:01:30) axenna: Ro, i do that too
(01/05 13:01:46) [applause]
(01/05 13:01:48) Korov'ev: In the D'ni calendar today is Leevosahn 4, 9674, and the time is 2:04:02
(01/05 13:02:10) Korov'ev: As usual, I'll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:
(01/05 13:02:16) Korov'ev: 1. Please *keep chatter to a minimum* while speakers are talking. The occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish.
(01/05 13:02:30) Korov'ev: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don't ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a "?" is somewhere in it to properly log the question in the queue.
(01/05 13:02:45) Korov'ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
(01/05 13:02:58) Korov'ev: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they've left the stage.
(01/05 13:03:07) Korov'ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of the Meeting will be published in the next few days on the MOULa forums and on Doobes' site; if you can't wait, you can start your own chatlog with "/startlog".
(01/05 13:03:18) Korov'ev: https://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=27174 and https://agesofdoobes.wordpress.com/all-guilds-meeting-chat-logs
(01/05 13:03:28) Korov'ev: So, we're going to start the first Meeting of 2019 in style, with news about upcoming Ages, and a certain website!
(01/05 13:03:35) [applause]
(01/05 13:03:47) GoMeDoobes: :D
(01/05 13:03:51) Korov'ev: Let's hear about them from the Main Man: Doobes!
(01/05 13:03:55) [applause]
(01/05 13:03:58) Max: Old Ages...?
(01/05 13:04:00) [applause]
(01/05 13:04:04) GoMeDoobes waves hello
(01/05 13:04:05) [applause]
(01/05 13:04:13) GoMeDoobes: Hi guys and gals! It's been far too long. :)
(01/05 13:04:22) GoMeDoobes: I've stopped by to talk about a couple of things I've been working on in the background, both URU-related as it turns out.
(01/05 13:04:32) GoMeDoobes: First up, I wanted to update everyone about my next Age release.
(01/05 13:04:41) GoMeDoobes: Sadly, I didn't get finished when I wanted to (ie in time for Myst's 25th anniversary). Work and the holidays kept me away from what I really wanted to do, as it always does.
(01/05 13:04:53) GoMeDoobes: That and I was a bit burnt out, which tends to happen after a lot of heavy Blender work.
(01/05 13:05:10) GoMeDoobes: I'm sure our programmer friends can relate. ;)
(01/05 13:05:27) rarified grins
(01/05 13:05:31) GoMeDoobes: A side note on that: I've also been helping the Guild of Writers test the next version of Korman, although I've admittedly been slacking on that too. They've been putting a lot of work into it and I'm hoping to get back into that as well to help them make it even more user-friendly for Age builders.
(01/05 13:05:52) GoMeDoobes: Thankfully, they're always very patient with my ramblings. :P
(01/05 13:06:02) GoMeDoobes: As a bit of a way to throw you guys a bone, I'll announce the full lineup of Ages I intend to release in one go sometime soon:
(01/05 13:06:15) GoMeDoobes: 1) A revamped GoMe Pub. It's fitting the journey should start here as it's my first official release. The means to find the other Ages will be found somewhere in the Pub.
(01/05 13:06:28) GoMeDoobes: 2) The Library. I'd like to feature other fan Ages here as well (with permission), but it'll also act as a "nexus" of my own for my various Ages.
(01/05 13:06:41) GoMeDoobes: 3) Veelay Tsahvahn (aka the Memorial Age). This one will be available in the Library right away. As I've mentioned before, it's a rememberance for explorers who have passed away and a place to gather and mourn and celebrate those we've lost over the years.
(01/05 13:07:06) Thumbs up from Ro"Jethhe
(01/05 13:07:07) GoMeDoobes: 4) The Vale. A mysterious garden Age that has distinctly D'ni architecture, but the origin of the Age itself is a bit of a mystery that we're trying to solve. We know that a D'ni Writer did NOT Write it, which was quite unusual at the time it was Written. You can visit and see what we've learned so far.
(01/05 13:07:27) GoMeDoobes: 5) Kotsahvosahn (The Waystation). Yep, the journey begins and ends right where it should...in the cavern. This was a port used by the D'ni Guild of Messengers right up until the fall and will be the beginning of Lothias' journey (which will come later ;) ).
(01/05 13:07:48) GoMeDoobes: So there you have it! A couple of these Ages are just about ready while some have several details that still need to be knocked out. I'm hoping for a (tentative) "early 2019" release on Gehn Shard, The Open Cave, and Deep Island (although I still need to talk with their respective admins about it). Then later, Minkata and...hopefully...MOULa!
(01/05 13:08:10) GoMeDoobes: Keep checking back on my site, http://agesofdoobes.wordpress.com and my Facebook page, http://facebook.com/agesofdoobes. If you check both, they have images of the upcoming Ages in all their early and late-development glory.
(01/05 13:08:14) rarified: Working diligently on it
(01/05 13:08:16) [applause]
(01/05 13:08:27) GoMeDoobes: Good programming takes time. ;)
(01/05 13:08:33) [applause]
(01/05 13:08:35) GoMeDoobes: Any questions before I move on to item number 2?
(01/05 13:08:38) TGMChrist: More Ages for MOULa
(01/05 13:08:41) [applause]
(01/05 13:09:00) Korov'ev: None in queue.
(01/05 13:09:12) GoMeDoobes: Heh, I guess that WAS pretty straightforward. :P
(01/05 13:09:15) Sleeper Jan: would be nice
(01/05 13:09:16) GoMeDoobes: Now then...for the project that's been taking up my free time as of late...and why I'm in my GoMeDoobes attire. ;)
(01/05 13:09:27) Zole: i havent reed all sentences, it takes time
(01/05 13:09:43) GoMeDoobes: Don't worry Zole...there will be a chatlog to see later if you missed anything. ;)
(01/05 13:09:50) GoMeDoobes: As you know, the GoMe site has been absent for over a year now. As such, the old .com domain lapsed and fell into the hands of some sort of gambling...thing.
(01/05 13:10:05) Korov'ev: urgh
(01/05 13:10:06) GoMeDoobes: Needless to say, I decided to come up with a solution: http://guildofmessengers.info!
(01/05 13:10:07) Sleeper Jan: sighs
(01/05 13:10:14) Max: some peeps may have fainted by these news... amazing stuff!
(01/05 13:10:40) Korov'ev tries not to faint
(01/05 13:10:48) GoMeDoobes: Yes, the site...as of this very moment...is back! While some of the informational pages need to be carried over still, people can sign up and start contributing to the site right away.
(01/05 13:11:02) GoMeDoobes: While I still need to test the news/event submission form, it *should* be ready to go too.
(01/05 13:11:21) GoMeDoobes: You'll notice it's similar to our 2.0 site (ie the WordPress and ColorMag theme), and that was mostly for consistency. I'm hoping things have been streamlined even further from the previous two versions, but I'm certainly open to suggestions.
(01/05 13:11:48) GoMeDoobes: The All Guilds Meeting chatlogs, which I've previously been hosting over at my own site, will now be located there, both raw and cleansed, starting with this meeting's logs!
(01/05 13:12:08) GoMeDoobes: (something I probably should have told Kor before the meeting. :D )
(01/05 13:12:21) Tai'lahr: We appreciate all the work you're doing, Doobes.
(01/05 13:12:30) GoMeDoobes: The new domain is hosted and maintained by me, so it won't be going anywhere for the foreseeable future. Note that I won't be seeking donations as it's fairly cheap to maintain anyway so long as we don't get too crazy with things.
(01/05 13:12:35) Thumbs up from rarified
(01/05 13:12:51) GoMeDoobes: Until then, feel free to sign up for the new site, post in the forums, send in articles...the whole thing! We're back in business, baby!
(01/05 13:12:59) Korov'ev: that`s always nice :)
(01/05 13:13:02) [applause]
(01/05 13:13:05) BIG thumbs up from Ro"Jethhe
(01/05 13:13:06) GoMeDoobes: Again, that's http://guildofmessengers.info
(01/05 13:13:09) GoMeDoobes: Not .com ;)
(01/05 13:13:15) GoMeDoobes: Any questions?
(01/05 13:13:28) Korov'ev: none in queue
(01/05 13:13:32) Max: no videos, I assume?
(01/05 13:13:44) rarified: Have you updated the http://rel.to link?
(01/05 13:14:06) GoMeDoobes: I need to get in touch with Leonardo about that, but it will be.
(01/05 13:14:47) GoMeDoobes: Yeah, videos will most likely need to be linked to instead of posted right on the site. The storage space is finite. ;)
(01/05 13:14:54) GoMeDoobes: (unless I pay more)
(01/05 13:15:05) GoMeDoobes: Anything else?
(01/05 13:15:24) Tweek: Will the news page have an RSS feed?
(01/05 13:15:38) GoMeDoobes: Probably. I still need to set it up though.
(01/05 13:15:44) Tweek: Ok cool, thanks
(01/05 13:15:47) GoMeDoobes: :D
(01/05 13:16:04) Korov'ev: the calendar is linked with the Google one, right?
(01/05 13:16:10) GoMeDoobes: You betcha!
(01/05 13:16:17) GoMeDoobes: So's the widget on the front page.
(01/05 13:16:29) GoMeDoobes: Which is now live, by the way. ;)
(01/05 13:16:34) MorganLapahie: I like the "submit news" button...
(01/05 13:16:38) Korov'ev: balanced, as it should be :)
(01/05 13:16:50) GoMeDoobes: That was not my creation. I believe Marten made it? I could be wrong on that.
(01/05 13:17:00) Tweek: Settle down Thanos
(01/05 13:17:09) GoMeDoobes: SNAP!
(01/05 13:17:16) TGMChrist: Oh no please.
(01/05 13:17:23) GoMeDoobes: Anyway, I'll be available for followup questions. Thanks for your time!
(01/05 13:17:25) GoMeDoobes bows
(01/05 13:17:28) Korov'ev: that button has a history of its own
(01/05 13:17:32) GoMeDoobes: :P
(01/05 13:17:34) Korov'ev: Thank you Doobes!
(01/05 13:17:37) [applause]
(01/05 13:17:44) Max: brilliant stuff
(01/05 13:17:45) [applause]
(01/05 13:17:58) Korov'ev: And continuing with fan Age-related news, our next speaker is: Tweek!
(01/05 13:17:58) GoMeDoobes smiles
(01/05 13:18:03) [applause]
(01/05 13:18:04) GoMeDoobes: Wooot!
(01/05 13:18:05) [applause]
(01/05 13:18:13) rarified: Ooooo
(01/05 13:18:15) Tweek waves hello
(01/05 13:18:18) [applause]
(01/05 13:18:24) Ro"Jethhe: O^o
(01/05 13:18:44) Korov'ev: the one and only!
(01/05 13:19:02) Tweek: So.. Last September was the 25th anniversary of Myst (yey!). As some of you may know I started working on a new Age to celebrate this thingy
(01/05 13:19:07) [applause]
(01/05 13:19:26) Loui's waves hello
(01/05 13:19:47) Tweek: Alas, I didn't get the Age ready in time for September but I'm hoping to have it released soon.
(01/05 13:20:03) Loui's: Sit
(01/05 13:20:06) Korov'ev: Loui's, sit down please :)
(01/05 13:20:26) Tweek: Eder Fahsee as the Age is known is a familiarly unfamiliar garden Age that celebrates Myst and the impact it had on all of us.
(01/05 13:20:26) Loui's: yes
(01/05 13:20:28) CYBORG: Theres always one !
(01/05 13:21:00) Tweek: As such, I am inviting any one who is interested to contribute to the Age.
(01/05 13:21:55) Tweek: I am planning on compiling 25 books (with maybe another 25 later) to go within the library on the Age that chronicle the first interactions you guys had with Myst
(01/05 13:22:12) rarified: Nice
(01/05 13:22:18) TGMChrist: Cool
(01/05 13:22:19) CYBORG: Great
(01/05 13:22:49) Tweek: Your thoughts, feelings..etc. It can be something short or something long. Just keep in mind that it's going to be in a book so maybe not Tolkien lenght
(01/05 13:23:00) Tweek: ack typo fairy
(01/05 13:23:11) radioflux: Tolkien wrote books...
(01/05 13:23:29) Tweek: If you're interested in contributing then check out http://dniexplorer.com/fahsee
(01/05 13:23:34) GoMeDoobes is intrigued and wants in too
(01/05 13:24:07) Tweek: As mentioned on the mentioned page, I can't guarantee all submissions will make it into the Age.
(01/05 13:24:27) Tweek: But I will certainly try to fit as many in as possible.
(01/05 13:24:35) TGMChrist want to see the Age.
(01/05 13:24:54) Tweek: For those who want to see what the Age is shaping up to look like
(01/05 13:25:01) Tweek eyes TGMChrist
(01/05 13:25:25) Tweek: Then I have posted some recent in game screenshots at my Age deveopment page on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/agesoftweek/
(01/05 13:26:10) Tweek: If anyone has any issues with the contact form when submitting something give me a shout.
(01/05 13:26:43) Tweek: Like Doobes I do have other Ages in the works but Eder Fahsee is currently my focus.
(01/05 13:26:52) Tweek: Anyone have any questions?
(01/05 13:27:08) Zole: how can we contribute, in which areas?
(01/05 13:27:19) Korov'ev: can you repeat the link to the contact form?
(01/05 13:27:39) Tweek: Yep, contact form can be found here - http://dniexplorer.com/fahsee
(01/05 13:28:25) Tweek: Zole> I'm hoping people would like to contribute some words on their first experiences playing Myst
(01/05 13:28:50) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Christian Walther.
(01/05 13:28:50) Korov'ev: [Christian Walther] Knowing you, there must be a story behind the age, a reason why it has to do with Myst. Can you say anything about that, or is that for us to discover?
(01/05 13:28:54) Tai'lahr: What a wonderful opportunity for explorers.
(01/05 13:29:50) Tweek: Well I do love my lore and worldbuilding. :D But Honestly, Eder Fahsee was specifically Written for Myst's 25 so there isn't really some big story behind the Age.
(01/05 13:30:15) Tweek: Unless you count the fact it's the second Age I've Written with my own made Ink and Books >.>
(01/05 13:30:21) Tweek: :O
(01/05 13:30:38) Christian Walther: That's story enough, thanks :)
