(07/05 13:09:09) Claidi Song: Hi everyone! Tonight we will have Ancient Stories again! We will meet at 15.00 KI in Chiso Preniv. No bot needed to get there, just the regular Chiso.

(07/05 13:10:59) Augur: We’ve been reading “A Psalm for the Wild-Built” by Becky Chambers, a fun cozy story set in a far away world where a humble tea monk meets a robot from centuries past who is searching for the answer to a seemingly simple question: what do humans need?
(07/05 13:11:25) Augur: The book is a short one, with the audiobook being only four hours long, so there is still time to read it before our meeting. 🙂
(07/05 13:11:45) Augur: I hope to see you all there to discuss!
(07/05 13:12:04) Augur: Any questions?
(07/05 13:12:17) Claidi Song: \ No questions in the queue.

(07/05 13:15:11) Prad: (less trouble with modern browsers then)
(07/05 13:15:25) PodHopper: For this year’s Moula SummerFest I would like to showcase some of the activities in the cavern like events but also some of the work involved in how new ages make it into moula.
(07/05 13:15:41) PodHopper: I have contacted a few people and asked them if they would like to contribute a video about the work they are doing for Moula, like age building and age testing.
(07/05 13:16:00) Claidi Song: \thumpsup
(07/05 13:16:03) PodHopper: For example, I have contacted Calum for a video about building ages. If anyone else would like to contribute a short video about age building too, please let me know.
(07/05 13:16:20) Calum Traveler: mind you, my schedule is a bit busy these days,
(07/05 13:16:29) Calum Traveler: but i might make a dedicated stream for it you can use.
(07/05 13:17:02) Calum Traveler: or, cut a section from a stream
(07/05 13:17:03) Calum Traveler: idk
(07/05 13:17:12) Calum Traveler: we’ll see.
(07/05 13:17:20) Calum Traveler: i make no promises.
(07/05 13:17:23) PodHopper: it would be great, Ibut we’ll see 🙂
(07/05 13:17:32) PodHopper: My personal life is making it difficult for me to stay on top of everything this year and I have not asked a lot of people yet.
(07/05 13:17:47) Dreamer3: sit
(07/05 13:17:47) PodHopper: Therefor I would like to extend the invitation to anyone involved in creating content for Moula.
(07/05 13:18:00) PodHopper: If you can offer anything that we can show or present during Summer Festival, please contact me.
(07/05 13:18:15) PodHopper: I know we are all busy with RL or something else, and so am I. So, I do understand.
(07/05 13:18:41) PodHopper: The resulting videos will be presented using a twitch stream during the Summer Festival which will be held from August 4-10.
(07/05 13:18:54) PodHopper: I will set up a twitch account for the occasion, so if you don’t use twitch yourself, that should be no problem.
(07/05 13:19:08) PodHopper: In the coming weeks I will post more info on discord.
(07/05 13:19:54) PodHopper: And I would love to do another ConeRace, but we’ll see..
(07/05 13:20:00) IwonK: oh? :>
(07/05 13:20:11) PodHopper: Any questions?
(07/05 13:20:20) Claidi Song: Q from Dreamer: Do you have to learn D’ni calligraphy to write ages?
(07/05 13:20:38) ScottMiller: another Eddie race would be nice too!
(07/05 13:20:48) PodHopper: not that I’m aware of, but then, I do not write Ages 🙂
(07/05 13:20:59) Claidi Song: You have to learn Blender or something else compatible
(07/05 13:21:07) rarified: D’ni calligraphy takes a lot of forms.
(07/05 13:21:10) Calum Traveler: blender+korman or 3ds max
(07/05 13:21:12) Theo: And Python can’t hurt.
(07/05 13:21:16) Calum Traveler: for the OOC side of things
(07/05 13:21:16) IwonK: I can write an age 😀 look! AGE 🙂 done 🙂
(07/05 13:21:24) PodHopper: Oh yes The korman and blender synergy
(07/05 13:21:27) Calum Traveler: ICly: *winks* That information is classified to the public.
(07/05 13:21:28) rarified groanss
(07/05 13:21:34) Prad: MOULa choir might probably not be ready yet for a small concert – we’re far behind our recording schedule – but I won’t make shortened decisions, will have to consult with Babbeltje on that …
(07/05 13:21:42) caver1: Could more information pe placed on the imagers at the guild of messengers hood?
(07/05 13:22:01) Kayara: There is a fan-game where you can use some D#Ni words to write very simple Ages but I don’t remember the name right now.
(07/05 13:22:15) Prad: *not be ready yet fro a small concert during the summer festival* …
(07/05 13:22:33) PodHopper: info about the summerfest is changing from day to day, and the imagers in that hood are not convenient to show the info actually
(07/05 13:22:53) Claidi Song: Sounds like Summerfest will be fun!
(07/05 13:22:56) caver1: Darn.
(07/05 13:23:11) Dreamer3: Woot woot!
(07/05 13:23:14) Claidi Song: Thank you, PodHopper!
(07/05 13:23:16) PodHopper: on discord I can post schedules with much more ease and detail than on an imager
(07/05 13:23:24) PodHopper bows
(07/05 13:23:55) caver1: I Don’t use discoed.
(07/05 13:24:16) Claidi Song: ~~~ Expeditions – Korov’ev ~~~

(07/05 13:24:52) Korov’ev: this time I should 🙂
(07/05 13:25:04) Korov’ev waves hello
(07/05 13:25:04) Korov’ev: Shorah everyone 🙂
(07/05 13:25:04) caver1: Website is good.
(07/05 13:25:13) Korov’ev: Last Sunday, the 3rd cycle of the Fan Age Expeditions, held on the Deep Island shard, has concluded.
(07/05 13:25:21) Korov’ev: For the 4th cycle, to try something different, I’ll be alternating weeks between Deep Island and The Open Cave.
(07/05 13:25:32) Korov’ev: Participant will get an invite to a dedicated avatar’s instances, and will be free to revisit them later.
(07/05 13:25:38) shokhootahn Rehn waves back
(07/05 13:25:40) Korov’ev: Old-timers may remember the ‘Public Avatar’, that’s the inspiration 😉
(07/05 13:25:54) Korov’ev: In an acute display of imagination, I named the Hood “Fan Ages Touring Club”.
(07/05 13:26:00) Korov’ev: On second thoughts, I could’ve dropped the “Fan”… But then it would no longer be the FAT-C 🙂
(07/05 13:26:02) Trouble kneels down…
(07/05 13:26:14) Trouble waves hello
(07/05 13:26:19) Korov’ev: On DI, we’ll focus on the fan ages of old as before; on TOC we’ll go through Cyan’s ages first, and the latest fan ages not on DI later.
(07/05 13:26:21) Trouble kneels down…
(07/05 13:26:29) Korov’ev: For the Cyan ages, I’ll leave the detailed explanation of the backstory to the Cavern Tours, since I’m not trying to duplicate them!
(07/05 13:26:42) Korov’ev: Keep in mind that we *will* get into spoilers.
(07/05 13:26:53) Korov’ev: The focus will be trying to see these ages from perspectives a lone explorer usually can’t get (e.g. see the Teledahn hut being drained).
(07/05 13:27:09) Korov’ev: Since it will be the first expedition on the Open Cave, tomorrow will mostly be an… exploratory expedition 🙂
(07/05 13:27:21) Korov’ev: If enough people will show up, a Door Run will be in order, maybe a Wall game too. The hood will certainly be open for affiliations.
(07/05 13:27:46) Korov’ev: I have a more detailed outline of the Expeditions on the GoW forum (I haven’t got around updating the info with TOC yet): https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=7140
(07/05 13:27:53) Korov’ev: Instructions for setting up a TOC client can be found here: https://www.the-open-cave.net/moul/how-to-play
(07/05 13:28:04) Korov’ev: There is of course also a TOC Discord server, where you can find help setting up a client: https://discord.gg/u9jc22UFaN
(07/05 13:28:13) Korov’ev: That’s all I have for now! Any questions?
(07/05 13:28:24) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue
(07/05 13:28:36) *Jodok*: Do it today because it will take some time to activate new members 😀
(07/05 13:28:48) Korov’ev: then back to my seat 🙂
(07/05 13:28:54) Claidi Song: Thank you, PodHopper!

(07/05 13:34:00) Calum Traveler: on some Cavern related news…
(07/05 13:34:32) Calum Traveler: I’m pleased to announce that sometime in the nearish future we will be hosting a Sameehn Book in Chiso Preniv,
(07/05 13:35:55) Calum Traveler: also, I’m personally looking into the possibility of updating the Gahreesen Wall’s announcer lines, to replace some of the more… slightly harshish sounding ones with some nicer ones.
(07/05 13:36:03) Calum Traveler: i know there have been some complaints about that over the years
(07/05 13:36:23) Calum Traveler: i cant make a promise as to when or who will be doing the new lines, as im just in the ‘can i even update this on my own?’ stage of mucking about.
(07/05 13:37:00) PodHopper: you have to climb around the blockers you know?
(07/05 13:37:08) Calum Traveler: yeah, thats one of them,
(07/05 13:37:43) Calum Traveler: anyways, it’s finally being looked into getting some nicer lines in there.

(07/05 13:38:52) Calum Traveler: uh… i think there was something about some work being done in Sameehn for one of the doors that wasnt working right but i havent looked too deeply into that yet, personally.
(07/05 13:38:58) rarified: “Blockers stub toes. Be forewarned.”
(07/05 13:39:08) Calum Traveler: other than that, i got… nothing else.

(07/05 13:39:37) Calum Traveler: right, i suppose it was only a matter of time before someone asked that here.
(07/05 13:39:53) Calum Traveler: i cant exactly go into firm details, as i dont know them all personally,
(07/05 13:39:57) *Jodok*: Ok spit out the infos
(07/05 13:40:05) ural: sameehn book shareable?
(07/05 13:40:15) Calum Traveler: what i can say is that real life matters have taken Doobes out of the Cavern Equation for the foreseeable future.
(07/05 13:40:47) Calum Traveler: and with him gone, a lot of things have fallen on the rest of us that have made already tight schedules tighter.
(07/05 13:41:06) Buddy: We’ll soon be testing the Sameehn books sharability.
(07/05 13:41:14) Dreamer3 is very annoyed with RL
(07/05 13:41:21) Calum Traveler: personally, I do not believe he will be returning.
(07/05 13:41:30) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁
(07/05 13:41:36) ural: :L(
(07/05 13:41:37) Calum Traveler: as you may or may not know, he lost both of his parents in the last year, and in his grief, i could see he was pulling away from us.
(07/05 13:41:38) Thumbs up from caver1
(07/05 13:41:39) *Jodok*: -(
(07/05 13:41:47) Calum Traveler: that was even before he went radio silent.
(07/05 13:41:49) Claidi Song: I can ganentee he won’t be coming back.
(07/05 13:42:00) Calum Traveler nods, solemnly
(07/05 13:42:01) <sniffle> Dreamer3 is sad
(07/05 13:42:16) Calum Traveler: all i can say, and all that im willing to say on the matter,
(07/05 13:42:21) caver1: On book sharing.
(07/05 13:42:23) PodHopper: that means a great loss and setback indeed
(07/05 13:42:28) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁
(07/05 13:42:31) Calum Traveler: is that where ever he goes in life, im hoping he gets the help he needs.
(07/05 13:42:36) <sniffle> *Jodok* is sad
(07/05 13:42:36) rarified: I think it is a personal matter that has to be accepted
(07/05 13:42:56) Calum Traveler: Doobes’ situation is a very complicated one not fit for further discussion in this venue,
(07/05 13:43:00) Buddy: True
(07/05 13:43:08) Calum Traveler: as for Sameehn, the Chsio book should be sharable, yes,
(07/05 13:43:10) ScottMiller: Wasn’t he working on DEsent? Who is taking that over?
(07/05 13:43:15) Claidi Song: I agree here and now is not the place.
(07/05 13:43:19) rarified: All in good time
(07/05 13:43:28) IwonK: RL needs a DLC…
(07/05 13:43:38) Calum Traveler: Semjay, i believe, is looking into the issues in the Emporium as her free time allows.
(07/05 13:43:52) Claidi Song: Cool!
(07/05 13:43:54) Calum Traveler: ScottMiller, Descent is, at the moment, in a state of ‘needs to be resurveyed’,
(07/05 13:44:20) Calum Traveler: we do not have access to the latest work and so it is a significant setback.
(07/05 13:44:34) shokhootahn Rehn: 🙁
(07/05 13:44:44) Calum Traveler: im hoping to aleviate the matter of *one person* handling the project once that survey work is done by ensuring multiple folks are able to work on it at the same time.
(07/05 13:44:53) Calum Traveler: Descent is simply too big for one person,
(07/05 13:45:31) Prad: the ‘single point of failure’ problem
(07/05 13:45:34) Calum Traveler: yes,
(07/05 13:45:41) Calum Traveler: Doobes was that for a lot of things.
(07/05 13:45:53) Calum Traveler: that’s all im going to say on the matter for now
(07/05 13:45:57) Calum Traveler: any other questions?
(07/05 13:45:58) ural: pod 12?
(07/05 13:46:07) *Jodok*: Sad really sad news, sorry for asking but my curiosity was big
(07/05 13:46:16) *Jodok*: Too big
(07/05 13:46:17) Calum Traveler: Pod12 is still on schedule for sometime this year.
(07/05 13:46:28) ural: good!
(07/05 13:46:40) Calum Traveler: i cant give timelines, as Chiso has taken up a large chunk of my attention in recent months.
(07/05 13:46:56) ScottMiller: Sorry for my ignorqnce but whqat is Pod12?
(07/05 13:47:07) Calum Traveler: Pod12 is an area I’m restoring, ScottMiller
(07/05 13:47:09) rarified: Unannounced yet.
(07/05 13:47:16) Calum Traveler: one more question.
(07/05 13:47:19) ScottMiller: Ah…
(07/05 13:47:21) Prad: Pod 12 is a fan based Pod age Calum is working on
(07/05 13:47:35) ural: east coast ofpayfern
(07/05 13:47:37) Calum Traveler: any last question?
(07/05 13:47:50) Calum Traveler: going once…
(07/05 13:47:54) Calum Traveler: going…. twiiiice….
(07/05 13:47:59) caver1: Many thanks to age builders.
(07/05 13:48:00) Calum Traveler: no?
(07/05 13:48:02) Calum Traveler: okay
(07/05 13:48:03) Calum Traveler bows
(07/05 13:48:05) Claidi Song: Thank you, Cal!
(07/05 13:48:09) ScottMiller: Will it be avalilbe in the Cavern or only DSI?
(07/05 13:48:18) Calum Traveler: pod 12 will be available through chiso,
(07/05 13:48:25) Claidi Song: ~~~ ratified news ~~~
(07/05 13:48:27) ural: yay!
(07/05 13:48:31) ScottMiller: Thumbs up!
(07/05 13:48:49) rarified: Shorah all!
(07/05 13:48:53) Claidi Song: ~~~ ratified news ~~~
(07/05 13:49:00) Buddy: Shorah!
(07/05 13:49:12) rarified looks sadly at an unprotected vulnerable Eddie

(07/05 13:49:49) rarified: typing/composing in real time rather than pasting.
(07/05 13:49:53) Dreamer3: Eddie beat up all the surrounding cones.
(07/05 13:50:28) rarified: First, I would like to mention the OpenUru organization is 15 years old this year.
(07/05 13:50:38) Calum Traveler: old enough to drive
(07/05 13:50:50) Kayara: In some countries at least 😀
(07/05 13:50:53) Kayara: Woot woot!
(07/05 13:51:05) rarified: OU was a significant player in the release of MOUL code to the fans, and
(07/05 13:51:12) ScottMiller: With a learner permit and a licensed diver
(07/05 13:51:13) rarified: we’ve all benefited from it.
(07/05 13:51:35) ScottMiller: Deiver
(07/05 13:51:37) rarified: I’d like to test the waters to find out if there are some younger but at least
(07/05 13:51:45) Kayara: Old enough to drink beer in public under supervision of a guardian, in others. 😀
(07/05 13:51:52) ScottMiller: driver
(07/05 13:51:57) rarified: a little experienced developers that would be interested in helping with
(07/05 13:52:11) rarified: administration of some of the OU web properties.
(07/05 13:52:36) rarified: It would require some knowledge of the LAMP (Linux-Apache-Mysql-PHP)
(07/05 13:52:53) rarified: stack, as well as forum and wiki upkeep.
(07/05 13:53:15) rarified: The OU founders are … how do I say it … getting beyond the “experienced”
(07/05 13:53:22) Prad getting all ears on Linux
(07/05 13:53:37) rarified: stage in their lives and could use some younger help to carry on th
(07/05 13:53:41) rarified: OU presence.
(07/05 13:53:44) Calum Traveler: (nevermind the increased pressures of real life.)
(07/05 13:54:04) rarified: If you are, or know of someone who has both the background and interest
(07/05 13:54:29) rarified: in helping in this are, please let me know. PM me on the OU Discord server.
(07/05 13:55:05) rarified: Ok, on to my status. Obviously I work mostly behind the curtains in the
(07/05 13:55:28) rarified: fan pipeline to get new content and fixes into MOULa. Doing that, I don’t
(07/05 13:55:50) rarified: have much to announce very often. But I also sometimes leave long
(07/05 13:56:08) rarified: intervals when I haven’t said anything about what is going on.
(07/05 13:56:29) rarified: During the last two Mysteria I’ve made allusions to working on a
(07/05 13:56:52) rarified: major MOULa client enhancement that will roll into it the 10+ years
(07/05 13:57:18) rarified: of development by the Guild of Writers/H’uru team. I want to reafferm
(07/05 13:57:44) rarified: -reaffirm- that the development of that unified client IS underway.
(07/05 13:57:59) Calum Traveler: I’ve been helping with this project in the background, as I can. But ill admit a lot of it is beyond me.
(07/05 13:58:11) rarified: We’ve gotten to the stage were we are starting to test the updated client
(07/05 13:58:35) rarified: on a private testing server, mostly to iron out any issues using the new
(07/05 13:58:41) Calum Traveler: there’s been a few kinks to get hashed out before we’re ready to open it to mass testing.
(07/05 13:58:57) rarified: client with servers that behave as the legacy Cyan MOULa servers.
(07/05 13:59:16) rarified: But rest assured, progress — as slow as it is — is being made.
(07/05 13:59:23) Calum Traveler: SOON (TM)
(07/05 13:59:30) rarified: So to speak 🙂
(07/05 13:59:40) Calum Traveler: assuming real life gives us enough breathing room.
(07/05 13:59:47) Calum Traveler leans right
(07/05 14:00:00) rarified: Once that client has progressed far enough, it will be on a server with more
(07/05 14:00:19) Prad: ah okay – so H’Uru client is already being tested – but in the background on private testing servers as stage 1 before going to mass testing …
(07/05 14:00:21) rarified: available access, part of the OU Minkata testing constellation of serverss.
(07/05 14:00:28) Buddy: What will be its benefit to devs?
(07/05 14:00:40) Calum Traveler: minimized divergences between physics systems, for starters.
(07/05 14:00:52) rarified: Too long a list to do today other than what CT said ^^
(07/05 14:00:54) Calum Traveler: or, for those of you who paid attention to my Chiso work may have noticed,
(07/05 14:01:08) Calum Traveler: some bizzare lighting differences between what I saw on HURU versus the OU client.
(07/05 14:01:23) *Jodok*: Is it based on dirtsand?
(07/05 14:01:31) Calum Traveler: the client itself?
(07/05 14:01:32) rarified: WHEN we have a working unified client in the works, we’ll be able to take advantage
(07/05 14:01:44) rarified: of H’uru developments in almost real time from that point on.
(07/05 14:02:10) *Jodok*: I ask because filtik is trying to do a test server for TOC with dirtsand maybe you could work together?
(07/05 14:02:17) rarified: There will be content changes required, so the path to MOULa will by necessity be cautious.
(07/05 14:02:37) Prad: Final server might be the cyan server and not dirtsand server afaik
(07/05 14:02:45) Calum Traveler: final server will be the cyan server, yes,
(07/05 14:02:55) Calum Traveler: as the goal is to get the unified client onto MOULa and have it compatible.
(07/05 14:03:10) rarified: ~~~ teaser ~~~ Once the client has momentum, I still have a todo list that I think
(07/05 14:03:26) Calum Traveler: as you know, MOULa runs on its own unique server code… that is NOT so picky about what code it drinks down.
(07/05 14:03:33) Calum Traveler: even if that code causes it to Net2 everyone.
(07/05 14:03:37) rarified: fans will enjoy. A major update to MOSS is on the drawing board, and something yet to be
(07/05 14:03:55) Emor D’ni Lap: multithreading
(07/05 14:04:08) rarified: even imagined except in my creaky old brain may have a debut in the *NEXT* Mysterium.
(07/05 14:04:24) rarified stops teasing now
(07/05 14:04:36) IwonK passes around teasing cookies
(07/05 14:04:46) Calum Traveler: id like to thank folks for their patience on this matter, as i know the client upgrade is… contentious at times.
(07/05 14:04:50) *Jodok* is teased
(07/05 14:04:56) rarified: Ok finally… I’m going to do something that usually is not appropriate, but this morning
(07/05 14:04:57) Buddy: More teasing please
(07/05 14:05:14) rarified: I was so compelled that I will do it an you have to forgive me.
(07/05 14:05:16) Buddy: Cookies too
(07/05 14:05:25) Emor D’ni Lap: rarified moons the audience
(07/05 14:05:26) philipgr: MOSS cookies
(07/05 14:05:45) rarified: At the start of this year, our development group suffered a significant loss that left a
(07/05 14:05:47) Korov’ev: Uru Live Classic, with only the ABM ages and the original physics engine
(07/05 14:06:09) rarified: major hole in the pipeline. Both in process and development.
(07/05 14:06:30) Buddy: Doobes
(07/05 14:06:36) rarified: There is one individual that stands out as having taken on — without either request
(07/05 14:07:10) Buddy: Calum/Kelsei
(07/05 14:07:22) rarified: or responsibility — the task of filling in that hole. This person has provided leadership
(07/05 14:07:44) Calum Traveler looks to rarified, not expecting any of this part…
(07/05 14:07:53) Kayara: Buddy ssshhh
(07/05 14:08:03) rarified: by encouragement and empathy, and I want to recognize thier extraordinary contribution.
(07/05 14:08:07) Buddy: (sorry)
(07/05 14:08:18) Prad: (that was a complicated puzzle)
(07/05 14:08:24) Buddy: lol
(07/05 14:08:26) rarified: Please take a bow, dear friend and co conspirator, Calum Traveler!
(07/05 14:08:30) Calum Traveler bows

(07/05 14:08:42) neurovac: well deserved!

(07/05 14:09:07) IwonK salutes
(07/05 14:09:13) rarified: You’ve gone beyond anything we have a right to expect or want.
(07/05 14:09:31) Calum Traveler: it’s just what’s needed, y’know?
(07/05 14:09:33) rarified: Not to diminish the extraordinary contributions by all the developers
(07/05 14:09:34) neurovac: Calum, you are visibly working very hard, and you deserve praise for that.
(07/05 14:09:40) Emor D’ni Lap: very nice of you, rarified
(07/05 14:09:50) rarified: and artists, they all deserve our thank.
(07/05 14:09:57) rarified: ^thanks!
(07/05 14:09:58) Calum Traveler: ive mostly just taken on work that needs doing, and other folks havent had the time to do.

(07/05 14:10:52) rarified: Thank you for your support!
(07/05 14:11:14) Calum Traveler looks a little stunned from that last part…
(07/05 14:11:25) rarified: Stunning is GOOD
(07/05 14:11:44) Calum Traveler: make sure to take care of yourselves, folks. that’s all i can say.
(07/05 14:11:45) Emor D’ni Lap: a pat on theback is the best that volunteer developers get…
