    (09/05 13:03:19)Doobes: Yes!

    (09/05 13:03:34)Korov’ev: As usual, I’ll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:

    (09/05 13:03:39)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.

    (09/05 13:03:48)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.

    (09/05 13:03:54)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (09/05 13:04:08)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.

    (09/05 13:04:16)Korov’ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers’ site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

    (09/05 13:04:24)Korov’ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.

    (09/05 13:22:12)CT Hostess Susa’n: (one of the busiest explorers in the Cavern)

    (09/05 13:22:13)Korov’ev: he couldn’t stay, so I’ll now channel his voice!

    (09/05 13:22:16)Ro”Jethhe says okay

    (09/05 13:22:30)Korov’ev: *ahem*

    (09/05 13:22:32)Doobes: Wow, that’s…impressive yet eerie, Kor. ๐Ÿ˜›

    (09/05 13:22:39)CT Hostess Susa’n laughs

    (09/05 13:22:49)CT Hostess Susa’n: r’Tay is a baritone

    (09/05 13:22:51)Korov’ev starts to levitate

    (09/05 13:22:57)Korov’ev: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (09/05 13:23:11)Korov’ev: First, the language classes…

    (09/05 13:23:20)Korov’ev: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice.

    (09/05 13:23:36)Korov’ev: They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.

    (09/05 13:23:49)Korov’ev: There are evening classes available on Thursday and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time, 21:00 KI time, or 21:00 KI time depending on the student’s schedule.

    (09/05 13:23:57)Korov’ev: Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.

    (09/05 13:24:07)Korov’ev is still channeling Rehn

    (09/05 13:24:16)Korov’ev: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (09/05 13:24:23)Korov’ev: Now for some exciting news…

    (09/05 13:24:33)Korov’ev: Last time, I announced that there was one student taking the classes. Since then, another student has started taking the classes and is about to start lesson #3.

    (09/05 13:24:45)Korov’ev: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes here and on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.

    (09/05 13:24:56)Korov’ev: Are there any questions?

    (09/05 13:25:16)Korov’ev: Moving on…

    (09/05 13:25:18)Malaclypse: Public Service Spam: Tomorrow from 1300 KI time, Radio Free D’ni will present Rock Humour!

    (09/05 13:25:35)Korov’ev: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (09/05 13:26:01)Korov’ev: (unsolicited spam ๐Ÿ˜› )

    (09/05 13:26:06)Ro”Jethhe nods his head

    (09/05 13:26:13)Korov’ev: Having finished the story arc of the D’ni kings and and learned about the years between king Kerath’s death and the start of the story of The Fall,

    (09/05 13:26:15)leiika starts to laugh

    (09/05 13:26:24)Korov’ev: we are now starting The Fall as told in the book, Myst: The Book of Ti’Ana.

    (09/05 13:26:32)Korov’ev: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (09/05 13:26:43)Korov’ev is channeling R’Tayrtahn

    (09/05 13:26:54)Korov’ev: 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.

    (09/05 13:27:04)Korov’ev: 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,

    (09/05 13:27:14)Korov’ev: when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

    (09/05 13:27:23)Korov’ev: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (09/05 13:27:33)Korov’ev: Due to the U.S. holiday, Story Night Europe is canceled for today.

    (09/05 13:27:43)Korov’ev: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to apprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:27:54)Korov’ev: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (09/05 13:28:04)Korov’ev: 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),

    (09/05 13:28:10)Korov’ev: 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.

    (09/05 13:28:17)Korov’ev: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED! (caps for emphasis, not for shouting)

    (09/05 13:28:30)Doobes: Why not both? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (09/05 13:28:34)Korov’ev: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI number so they were unable to be added.

    (09/05 13:28:42)Korov’ev: Again, there will be no Story Night – Europe for today.

    (09/05 13:28:48)Korov’ev: We hope to see you there!

    (09/05 13:28:56)Korov’ev: Any questions?

    (09/05 13:29:04)Christian Walther: To avoid overwhelming the medium, Doobes.

    (09/05 13:29:08)Emor D’ni Lap: channeling ended?

    (09/05 13:29:10)Korov’ev is himself again

    (09/05 13:29:18)Korov’ev: whew, that was weird

    (09/05 13:29:30)TikiBear: The spinning headwas cool, though.

    (09/05 13:29:40)SandDoone: clap

    (09/05 13:29:42)CT Hostess Susa’n: great job, Koro

    (09/05 13:29:53)FIREMAGE3000: youre a wizar

    (09/05 13:29:54)CT Hostess Susa’n will never ask Koro to channel her ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (09/05 13:29:57)Doobes: You’ll have to show me how you do that. Hehehe.

    (09/05 13:30:05)Korov’ev thanks you very much!

    (09/05 13:30:10)Korov’ev: Time for the usual Fan Age Touring Club update, from the Deep Island shard.

    (09/05 13:30:17)Korov’ev: Recently we visited Botan and Moysenland, by Ametist!

    (09/05 13:30:31)Korov’ev: Quite a trip ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:30:59)Korov’ev: Tomorrow, we will test our puzzle-solving abilites in… Oolbanneeah!

    (09/05 13:31:14)Korov’ev: that might take two visits, maybe

    (09/05 13:31:18)Doobes: Oooo, nice one.

    (09/05 13:31:31)Korov’ev: Then it will be time for a psychedelic trip to Rell-Too

    (09/05 13:31:53)Korov’ev: then Torilacha. Then… we’ll see!

    (09/05 13:32:03)Korov’ev: The expeditions are at 11:00 KIT, in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with “/hood”).

    (09/05 13:32:10)Korov’ev: There’s also a (mute) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

    (09/05 13:32:44)Korov’ev: Radio Free D?ni is right after the tour, so have your radio ready!

    (09/05 13:32:49)Korov’ev: *D’ni

    (09/05 13:33:30)Korov’ev: Now, some Cyan-related news:

    (09/05 13:33:34)Korov’ev: (sort of)

    (09/05 13:33:38)Hemulendottir gasps

    (09/05 13:34:17)CT Hostess Susa’n gasps at Hem’s name

    (09/05 13:34:19)Korov’ev: The Unwritten creators, Inkworks Productions, have launched the Unwritten Journeys Patreon:

    (09/05 13:34:28)Korov’ev: they will be supplemental material for the Unwritten RPG, blurring the line between fact and fiction, apocrypha and canon,

    (09/05 13:34:37)Korov’ev: taking a new look at members of the DRC and sending the history and future of the Cavern off on wild tangents and speculative adventures.

    (09/05 13:34:46)Korov’ev: Inkworks Prods. will also be hosting hangouts in the Unwritten RPG Neighborhood on the 5th of each month, at 19:00 KIT, to talk about Unwritten, role-playing games, and whatever else comes up!

    (09/05 13:35:02)Korov’ev: i.e. later today ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:35:32)Korov’ev: And with that, it’s time to wrap up this Meeting!

    (09/05 13:35:38)Korov’ev: Here is the summary of this month’s events (times in KI time)…

    (09/05 13:35:44)Korov’ev: A calendar is also present in the left imager of the Guild of Messengers’ Hood;

    (09/05 13:35:49)Korov’ev: if you find a mistake, please PM me here or on the forum so I can correct it.

    (09/05 13:36:33)Korov’ev: It’s September, so we have a long list of anniversaries!

    (09/05 13:37:10)Korov’ev: Wait…

    (09/05 13:37:37)Korov’ev: I’m receiveing the usual mysterious message from PD…

    (09/05 13:37:50)Night-Tripper: ?

    (09/05 13:37:57)Korov’ev: Let’s welcome Doobes!

    (09/05 13:37:58)Doobes clears his throat

    (09/05 13:38:24)Doobes: Sorry, seems I confused our esteemed moderator…as I often do. ๐Ÿ˜›

    (09/05 13:38:30)Doobes: Why hello there!

    (09/05 13:38:39)Doobes: It’s been an exciting couple of weeks, hasn’t it? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (09/05 13:38:45)Calum Traveler nods his head

    (09/05 13:38:51)Jamey nods his head

    (09/05 13:38:56)Doobes: The door has finally been opened and we now have what I hope to be the first handful of many fan Ages here in MOULa!

    (09/05 13:38:58)Mirphak nods his head

    (09/05 13:39:07)Hemulendottir: YAAY

    (09/05 13:39:10)Claidi Song jumps up and down

    (09/05 13:39:21)Korov’ev: we want 125 more!

    (09/05 13:39:24)Doobes: The best part is I’ve seen so many familiar faces return to the cavern. We definitely missed you all and are glad you’re back.

    (09/05 13:39:39)Doobes: I know things have been relatively quiet since then. I think all of us that worked quite hard to make it happen needed a breather. ๐Ÿ˜€

    (09/05 13:39:54)Doobes: That’s not to say we’re done…far from it!

    (09/05 13:40:07)Doobes: The new content has revitalized the cavern as well as interest in Age building, and I’d like to capitalize on that.

    (09/05 13:40:24)Doobes: To that end, while I work on my own projects, I will be offering up advice, expertise, and even direct assistance to those who want to get their Age projects MOULa-ready.

    (09/05 13:40:36)Calum Traveler perks up a bit at that

    (09/05 13:40:38)Doobes: This includes those just starting out as well as returning PyPRP vets who want to get their classic Ages converted to Korman.

    (09/05 13:41:01)Doobes: I’m hoping this will further encourage others to give Korman a try and see what they can create for MOULa and the other shards!

    (09/05 13:41:23)Doobes: And you don’t even need to be a 3D modeler, per se. We need storytellers, artists, puzzle designers…really, anyone can get involved in some sort of way!

    (09/05 13:41:45)Doobes: We do our very best when we work as a community.

    (09/05 13:41:47)Doobes: ๐Ÿ˜€

    (09/05 13:41:50)Calum Traveler: ๐Ÿ˜€

    (09/05 13:42:00)Doobes: Together, maybe we can get another round of new Ages here hopefully by the end of the year?

    (09/05 13:42:10)Doobes: Note that I stress the word *hopefully*. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (09/05 13:42:27)Doobes: As for the new content that is currently accessible, I want to thank everyone for their kind words and incredibly helpful feedback on Chiso Preniv, Veelay Tsahvahn and the Pub.

    (09/05 13:42:31)BIG thumbs up from PodHopper

    (09/05 13:42:52)BIG thumbs up from etelka

    (09/05 13:43:12)Doobes: You have no idea how cool it’s been Linking into the Pub and seeing people hanging out. It’s awesome!

    (09/05 13:43:27)Ro”Jethhe: edm has a new home now

    (09/05 13:43:32)Mirphak: lol

    (09/05 13:43:39)Doobes: I’ve already been working to improve upon them, both functionally and with the addition of new content.

    (09/05 13:43:40)FIREMAGE3000: i got scrade by edm

    (09/05 13:43:55)Doobes: This includes holiday decorations for the Pub and, if anyone is interested in submitting any, creative writings, historical texts, etc in Chiso.

    (09/05 13:44:02)Cpt.Jericho votes for MOULa Cola in the pub.

    (09/05 13:44:03)Ro”Jethhe is amazed!

    (09/05 13:44:11)Emor D’ni Lap: Moving my ElectroDynamic Machining into the New GoMe Pub

    (09/05 13:44:14)rarified: Doobes needs an artiste’ beret.

    (09/05 13:44:18)Hemulendottir adds her vote!

    (09/05 13:44:20)Doobes: I know some of you have also been having graphical issues, particularly with Veelay. I do apologize for that.

    (09/05 13:44:37)Doobes: I would encourage you to try the Age on the various other shards…particularly Gehn Shard, which has far more fixes and improvements than MOULa at this time…to see if there’s any difference.

    (09/05 13:44:59)Korov’ev: more testers are welcome anyways ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:45:01)Doobes: My guess is it could be a client issue, particularly for those with higher end specs on their PCs, but I could be wrong.

    (09/05 13:45:25)Doobes: For those with a Mac, it most likely means we desperately need a native version for both it and Linux.

    (09/05 13:45:37)Doobes keeps cheering on the H’uru team and their efforts to upgrade things to make that easier

    (09/05 13:45:53)PodHopper: That would be great

    (09/05 13:45:54)Doobes: In any case, I’ll keep doing what I can on my end to fix things. I’ve already found an issue that might be slowing things down.

    (09/05 13:46:09)Doobes: When an Age is opened from Blender 2.49b/PyPRP, for some reason, it leaves the new “double sided” option on each mesh object.

    (09/05 13:46:36)Doobes: This means the engine is having to render a lot more than it should be.

    (09/05 13:46:47)Doobes: This affects the Pub and Veelay. Chiso was unaffected as that was started and developed entirely in Korman.

    (09/05 13:46:59)Doobes: All that aside, I wanted to thank some people that I couldn’t while I was in-character so as not to inadvertently drag them into the story. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (09/05 13:47:14)Doobes: First, our friends at the Guild of Writers/H’uru. It’s thanks to their programming work on both the MOULa client and Korman that this was able to happen.

    (09/05 13:47:43)Doobes: I also want to thank rarified of OpenUru.org for having all kinds of things thrown at him over a short span…so much so that Chogon even commented how it felt like the “old days”. ๐Ÿ˜›

    (09/05 13:47:52)Emor D’ni Lap applauds at length

    (09/05 13:47:52)Ro”Jethhe stomps his feet.

    (09/05 13:47:57)Calum Traveler starts to laugh

    (09/05 13:48:06)Doobes: He, coordinating with H’uru and others, helped to bring all this together.

    (09/05 13:48:29)rarified sighs with relief.

    (09/05 13:48:30)Doobes: I also want to thank those that beta tested everything, from Gehn Shard, to Minkata (both shards), and to Cyan’s staging server.

    (09/05 13:48:52)Doobes: Last, but not least, I want to thank all of you. Your response to this has been overwhelming to say the least.

    (09/05 13:49:02)Thumbs up from Calum Traveler

    (09/05 13:49:11)cjherkeless tosses a quab

    (09/05 13:49:16)CT Hostess Susa’n: The ending has not been written!

    (09/05 13:49:19)Ro”Jethhe: to the over 300 who were there that day

    (09/05 13:49:23)Doobes: Last month’s event was a truly mind-blowing, surreal experience that was like no other, and I can’t thank you enough for being the best damn community ever once again!

    (09/05 13:49:39)Doobes: It makes me so very proud to be a part of it. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:49:51)Doobes: Remember…we’re just getting started here, my friends! The sky’s the limit.

    (09/05 13:50:04)Doobes: Don’t forget to keep donating to the CAVCON too! You can now rest assured it’s not just going to server costs, but to new content from your fellow explorers.

    (09/05 13:50:19)Emor D’ni Lap: Huh?

    (09/05 13:50:21)Doobes: https://mystonline.com/donate/

    (09/05 13:50:39)Doobes: Let’s keep this momentum going and help the cavern to truly grow again!

    (09/05 13:50:52)Doobes: That’s all I’ve got for now. Any questions?

    (09/05 13:50:59)Korov’ev: yes…

    (09/05 13:51:05)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Ro”Jethhe.

    (09/05 13:51:05)Korov’ev: [Ro”Jethhe] Is the new content running on CYAN’s server or running on a seperate server?

    (09/05 13:51:27)Korov’ev: testing, you mean?

    (09/05 13:51:30)Doobes: We tested it on their staging server first…but now, it’s on the main server.

    (09/05 13:51:37)Ro”Jethhe thanks you

    (09/05 13:51:38)Doobes: And before that, on both Minkata shards.

    (09/05 13:51:47)Thumbs up from Ro”Jethhe

    (09/05 13:51:58)Doobes: So lots of layers of testing…but the true test is the sheer volume of explorers. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (09/05 13:52:03)Korov’ev: and in some cases, Gehn or DI ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (09/05 13:52:26)Korov’ev: Our next question is from philipgr.

    (09/05 13:52:27)Korov’ev: [philipgr] Are there any tutorials available on how to use Kormon?

    (09/05 13:52:27)Doobes: Yes, they were tested first on Gehn Beta.

    (09/05 13:52:36)Doobes: Oh yes! Just a sec…

    (09/05 13:52:58)Korov’ev: I wonder… ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:52:59)Doobes: https://www.guildofwriters.org/wiki/Korman:Getting_Started

    (09/05 13:53:14)philipgr: Thanks Doobes ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:53:18)Doobes: We’ve been updating and adding new tutorials as we go. They may still need some work, but they can get you started.

    (09/05 13:53:26)Doobes: It’s best to have some knowledge of Blender 2.79b too.

    (09/05 13:53:30)philipgr: Great ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:53:45)Doobes: In fact, I just added a tutorial on how to create the GZ beam effect.

    (09/05 13:53:46)Korov’ev: and they keep getting better, also thanks to people using them

    (09/05 13:54:03)Doobes: Indeed! One more question and then I turn it back over to Kor. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:54:03)Korov’ev: so use them! ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:54:17)Korov’ev: a couple more actually, if you can ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:54:20)Doobes: I’m on Discord or the GoW IRC later though.

    (09/05 13:54:21)Doobes: Sure!

    (09/05 13:54:30)Doobes defers to Kor’s schedule for this meeting ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:54:32)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Ro”Jethhe.

    (09/05 13:54:32)Korov’ev: [Ro”Jethhe] Ages with puzzles?

    (09/05 13:55:00)Ro”Jethhe: For any future new content

    (09/05 13:55:06)Doobes: That will depend on scripting and node tree wiring. Cyan provides a few handy scripts that can do quite a few things, even some of the puzzles you see here.

    (09/05 13:55:18)Ro”Jethhe says okay

    (09/05 13:55:20)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Calum Traveler.

    (09/05 13:55:21)Korov’ev: [Calum Traveler] for Chiso, the Heritage Documents should already be in the pipeline, I think?

    (09/05 13:55:34)Doobes: Plus, if you run into troubles, there’s always the GoW forums, OpenURU or Cyan discords, etc.

    (09/05 13:55:44)Korov’ev: is it? ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:56:02)Doobes: I believe *someone* is getting them ready for inclusion, yes. ๐Ÿ˜€

    (09/05 13:56:10)Korov’ev whistles

    (09/05 13:56:14)Thumbs up from Calum Traveler

    (09/05 13:56:17)Korov’ev: Our next question is from CT Hostess Susa’n.

    (09/05 13:56:17)Korov’ev: [CT Hostess Susa’n] Are you the Phillip Dulebohn who spoke at the Watcher’s Pub?

    (09/05 13:56:32)Korov’ev: I doubt it ๐Ÿ˜›

    (09/05 13:56:35)Hemulendottir: Patrick though?..

    (09/05 13:56:39)Calum Traveler coughs “Patrick”

    (09/05 13:56:51)Doobes: Patrick Dulebohn is my IC persona, much like RAWA’s Dr. Watson.

    (09/05 13:57:05)Doobes: You see him, that means story incoming. You see this avvie and it’s just little ol’ me. ๐Ÿ˜›

    (09/05 13:57:12)Emor D’ni Lap: Dulebohn / ‘Doobes’

    (09/05 13:57:21)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Theo.

    (09/05 13:57:21)Korov’ev: [Theo] Personal and Hood Instanced Ages?

    (09/05 13:57:31)Hemulendottir is still unused to the character shenanigans…

    (09/05 13:58:17)Doobes: I’m sure if there’s puzzles involved, they can be personally instanced. As for hood instances, I leave that up to the Age builder’s choice. We can do those two options and, with some work, public instances.

    (09/05 13:58:38)Doobes: Read: Korman’s handy Linking Book mod ™!

    (09/05 13:59:19)Korov’ev: alright, we got throught the question list

    (09/05 13:59:33)Korov’ev: for more, you can chase Doobes

    (09/05 13:59:39)Doobes: Again, I’m on GoW’s IRC #writers channel and Discord for any further questions. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:59:54)Doobes: Thank you very much!

    (09/05 13:59:55)Korov’ev: thank you Doobes!

    (09/05 13:59:56)Doobes bows

    (09/05 14:00:12)Emor D’ni Lap applauds Doobes

    (09/05 14:00:52)Korov’ev: alright, a quick list of Cavrn events and we’re done!

    (09/05 14:00:59)Korov’ev: Wednesday 9 is Michael Engberg’s Birthday!

    (09/05 14:01:05)Doobes will not interrupt this time

    (09/05 14:01:12)Korov’ev: Let’s celebrate with a server downtime ๐Ÿ™‚

    (09/05 13:03:39) 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.
    (09/05 13:03:48) 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.
    (09/05 13:03:54) Korov'ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
    (09/05 13:04:08) 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.
    (09/05 13:04:16) Korov'ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/
    (09/05 13:04:24) Korov'ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with "/startlog".

    (09/05 13:04:34) Calum Traveler: (already done eheh)
    (09/05 13:04:52) Korov'ev: A little Public Service Announcement:

    (09/05 13:05:29) Cpt.Jericho: 10:30 KI time?

    (09/05 13:23:11) Korov'ev: First, the language classes…
    (09/05 13:23:20) Korov'ev: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice.
    (09/05 13:23:36) Korov'ev: They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.
    (09/05 13:23:49) Korov'ev: There are evening classes available on Thursday and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time, 21:00 KI time, or 21:00 KI time depending on the student's schedule.
    (09/05 13:23:57) Korov'ev: Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.
    (09/05 13:24:07) Korov'ev is still channeling Rehn
    (09/05 13:24:16) Korov'ev: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
    (09/05 13:24:23) Korov'ev: Now for some exciting news…
    (09/05 13:24:33) Korov'ev: Last time, I announced that there was one student taking the classes. Since then, another student has started taking the classes and is about to start lesson #3.
    (09/05 13:24:45) Korov'ev: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes here and on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.
    (09/05 13:24:56) Korov'ev: Are there any questions?
    (09/05 13:25:16) Korov'ev: Moving on…
    (09/05 13:25:18) Malaclypse: Public Service Spam: Tomorrow from 1300 KI time, Radio Free D'ni will present Rock Humour!

    (09/05 13:26:32) Korov'ev: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
    (09/05 13:26:43) Korov'ev is channeling R'Tayrtahn
    (09/05 13:26:54) Korov'ev: 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.
    (09/05 13:27:04) Korov'ev: 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,
    (09/05 13:27:14) Korov'ev: when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.
    (09/05 13:27:23) Korov'ev: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
    (09/05 13:27:33) Korov'ev: Due to the U.S. holiday, Story Night Europe is canceled for today.
    (09/05 13:27:43) Korov'ev: Should I need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, I will try to apprise one or two of my regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:27:54) Korov'ev: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (09/05 13:28:04) Korov'ev: 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),
    (09/05 13:28:10) Korov'ev: 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.
    (09/05 13:28:17) Korov'ev: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED! (caps for emphasis, not for shouting)
    (09/05 13:28:30) Doobes: Why not both? ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (09/05 13:28:34) Korov'ev: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI number so they were unable to be added.
    (09/05 13:28:42) Korov'ev: Again, there will be no Story Night – Europe for today.
    (09/05 13:28:48) Korov'ev: We hope to see you there!
    (09/05 13:28:56) Korov'ev: Any questions?
    (09/05 13:29:04) Christian Walther: To avoid overwhelming the medium, Doobes.

    (09/05 13:30:10) Korov'ev: Time for the usual Fan Age Touring Club update, from the Deep Island shard.
    (09/05 13:30:17) Korov'ev: Recently we visited Botan and Moysenland, by Ametist!
    (09/05 13:30:30) Claidi Song cheers
    (09/05 13:30:31) Korov'ev: Quite a trip ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:30:59) Korov'ev: Tomorrow, we will test our puzzle-solving abilites in… Oolbanneeah!
    (09/05 13:31:14) Korov'ev: that might take two visits, maybe
    (09/05 13:31:18) Doobes: Oooo, nice one.
    (09/05 13:31:31) Korov'ev: Then it will be time for a psychedelic trip to Rell-Too
    (09/05 13:31:53) Korov'ev: then Torilacha. Then… we'll see!
    (09/05 13:32:03) Korov'ev: The expeditions are at 11:00 KIT, in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with "/hood").
    (09/05 13:32:10) Korov'ev: There's also a (mute) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort
    (09/05 13:32:44) Korov'ev: Radio Free D?ni is right after the tour, so have your radio ready!
    (09/05 13:32:49) Korov'ev: *D'ni
    (09/05 13:33:30) Korov'ev: Now, some Cyan-related news:
    (09/05 13:33:34) Korov'ev: (sort of)
    (09/05 13:33:38) Hemulendottir gasps
    (09/05 13:34:17) CT Hostess Susa'n gasps at Hem's name
    (09/05 13:34:19) Korov'ev: The Unwritten creators, Inkworks Productions, have launched the Unwritten Journeys Patreon:
    (09/05 13:34:28) Korov'ev: they will be supplemental material for the Unwritten RPG, blurring the line between fact and fiction, apocrypha and canon,
    (09/05 13:34:37) Korov'ev: taking a new look at members of the DRC and sending the history and future of the Cavern off on wild tangents and speculative adventures.
    (09/05 13:34:46) Korov'ev: Inkworks Prods. will also be hosting hangouts in the Unwritten RPG Neighborhood on the 5th of each month, at 19:00 KIT, to talk about Unwritten, role-playing games, and whatever else comes up!
    (09/05 13:35:02) Korov'ev: i.e. later today ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:35:32) Korov'ev: And with that, it's time to wrap up this Meeting!
    (09/05 13:35:38) Korov'ev: Here is the summary of this month's events (times in KI time)…
    (09/05 13:35:44) Korov'ev: A calendar is also present in the left imager of the Guild of Messengers' Hood;
    (09/05 13:35:49) Korov'ev: if you find a mistake, please PM me here or on the forum so I can correct it.
    (09/05 13:36:33) Korov'ev: It's September, so we have a long list of anniversaries!
    (09/05 13:37:10) Korov'ev: Wait…
    (09/05 13:37:37) Korov'ev: I'm receiveing the usual mysterious message from PD…
    (09/05 13:37:50) Night-Tripper: ?
    (09/05 13:37:57) Korov'ev: Let's welcome Doobes!
    (09/05 13:37:58) Doobes clears his throat

    (09/05 13:38:30) Doobes: Why hello there!
    (09/05 13:38:39) Doobes: It's been an exciting couple of weeks, hasn't it? ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (09/05 13:38:43) CT Hostess Susa'n cheers
    (09/05 13:38:45) Calum Traveler nods his head
    (09/05 13:38:51) Claidi Song cheers

    (09/05 13:38:51) phoenixRisen cheers
    (09/05 13:38:55) Night-Tripper cheers
    (09/05 13:38:56) Doobes: The door has finally been opened and we now have what I hope to be the first handful of many fan Ages here in MOULa!
    (09/05 13:38:58) Mirphak nods his head
    (09/05 13:38:58) SandDoone cheers

    (09/05 13:39:07) TGMChrist cheers
    (09/05 13:39:07) Calum Traveler cheers
    (09/05 13:39:07) Hemulendottir: YAAY
    (09/05 13:39:10) Claidi Song jumps up and down
    (09/05 13:39:10) etelka cheers
    (09/05 13:39:11) FIREMAGE3000 cheers
    (09/05 13:39:12) Minasunda claps her hands
    (09/05 13:39:12) Jamey cheers
    (09/05 13:39:16) MindWalker cheers for the open door
    (09/05 13:39:17) PodHopper cheers
    (09/05 13:39:21) Korov'ev: we want 125 more!
    (09/05 13:39:23) phoenixRisen cheers
    (09/05 13:39:24) Doobes: The best part is I've seen so many familiar faces return to the cavern. We definitely missed you all and are glad you're back.
    (09/05 13:39:39) Doobes: I know things have been relatively quiet since then. I think all of us that worked quite hard to make it happen needed a breather. ๐Ÿ˜€
    (09/05 13:39:54) Doobes: That's not to say we're done…far from it!
    (09/05 13:40:07) Doobes: The new content has revitalized the cavern as well as interest in Age building, and I'd like to capitalize on that.
    (09/05 13:40:24) Doobes: To that end, while I work on my own projects, I will be offering up advice, expertise, and even direct assistance to those who want to get their Age projects MOULa-ready.
    (09/05 13:40:36) Calum Traveler perks up a bit at that
    (09/05 13:40:38) Doobes: This includes those just starting out as well as returning PyPRP vets who want to get their classic Ages converted to Korman.
    (09/05 13:41:01) Doobes: I'm hoping this will further encourage others to give Korman a try and see what they can create for MOULa and the other shards!
    (09/05 13:41:23) Doobes: And you don't even need to be a 3D modeler, per se. We need storytellers, artists, puzzle designers…really, anyone can get involved in some sort of way!
    (09/05 13:41:45) Doobes: We do our very best when we work as a community.
    (09/05 13:41:47) Doobes: ๐Ÿ˜€
    (09/05 13:41:50) Calum Traveler: ๐Ÿ˜€
    (09/05 13:42:00) Doobes: Together, maybe we can get another round of new Ages here hopefully by the end of the year?
    (09/05 13:42:10) Doobes: Note that I stress the word *hopefully*. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (09/05 13:42:11) Ro"Jethhe cheers
    (09/05 13:42:15) phoenixRisen cheers

    (09/05 13:42:24) TGMChrist cheers
    (09/05 13:42:27) Doobes: As for the new content that is currently accessible, I want to thank everyone for their kind words and incredibly helpful feedback on Chiso Preniv, Veelay Tsahvahn and the Pub.
    (09/05 13:42:31) BIG thumbs up from PodHopper
    (09/05 13:42:34) Hemulendottir cheers but you can't see it
    (09/05 13:42:37) Claidi Song high fives and cheers
    (09/05 13:42:40) Boywhith cheers
    (09/05 13:42:52) BIG thumbs up from etelka
    (09/05 13:43:12) Doobes: You have no idea how cool it's been Linking into the Pub and seeing people hanging out. It's awesome!
    (09/05 13:43:27) Ro"Jethhe: edm has a new home now
    (09/05 13:43:32) Mirphak: lol
    (09/05 13:43:39) Doobes: I've already been working to improve upon them, both functionally and with the addition of new content.
    (09/05 13:43:40) FIREMAGE3000: i got scrade by edm
    (09/05 13:43:55) Doobes: This includes holiday decorations for the Pub and, if anyone is interested in submitting any, creative writings, historical texts, etc in Chiso.
    (09/05 13:44:02) Cpt.Jericho votes for MOULa Cola in the pub.
    (09/05 13:44:03) Ro"Jethhe is amazed!
    (09/05 13:44:11) Emor D'ni Lap: Moving my ElectroDynamic Machining into the New GoMe Pub
    (09/05 13:44:14) rarified: Doobes needs an artiste' beret.
    (09/05 13:44:18) Hemulendottir adds her vote!
    (09/05 13:44:20) Doobes: I know some of you have also been having graphical issues, particularly with Veelay. I do apologize for that.
    (09/05 13:44:37) Doobes: I would encourage you to try the Age on the various other shards…particularly Gehn Shard, which has far more fixes and improvements than MOULa at this time…to see if there's any difference.
    (09/05 13:44:59) Korov'ev: more testers are welcome anyways ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:45:01) Doobes: My guess is it could be a client issue, particularly for those with higher end specs on their PCs, but I could be wrong.
    (09/05 13:45:25) Doobes: For those with a Mac, it most likely means we desperately need a native version for both it and Linux.
    (09/05 13:45:37) Doobes keeps cheering on the H'uru team and their efforts to upgrade things to make that easier
    (09/05 13:45:53) PodHopper: That would be great
    (09/05 13:45:54) Doobes: In any case, I'll keep doing what I can on my end to fix things. I've already found an issue that might be slowing things down.
    (09/05 13:46:09) Doobes: When an Age is opened from Blender 2.49b/PyPRP, for some reason, it leaves the new "double sided" option on each mesh object.
    (09/05 13:46:36) Doobes: This means the engine is having to render a lot more than it should be.
    (09/05 13:46:47) Doobes: This affects the Pub and Veelay. Chiso was unaffected as that was started and developed entirely in Korman.
    (09/05 13:46:59) Doobes: All that aside, I wanted to thank some people that I couldn't while I was in-character so as not to inadvertently drag them into the story. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (09/05 13:47:14) Doobes: First, our friends at the Guild of Writers/H'uru. It's thanks to their programming work on both the MOULa client and Korman that this was able to happen.
    (09/05 13:47:25) TikiBear cheers

    (09/05 13:47:44) Claidi Song claps her hands

    (09/05 13:48:29) rarified sighs with relief.
    (09/05 13:48:30) Doobes: I also want to thank those that beta tested everything, from Gehn Shard, to Minkata (both shards), and to Cyan's staging server.
    (09/05 13:48:32) CT Hostess Susa'n claps her hands
    (09/05 13:48:41) TikiBear claps his hands

    (09/05 13:49:54) Boywhith cheers
    (09/05 13:50:04) Doobes: Don't forget to keep donating to the CAVCON too! You can now rest assured it's not just going to server costs, but to new content from your fellow explorers.
    (09/05 13:50:18) Inanna claps her hands
    (09/05 13:50:19) Emor D'ni Lap: Huh?
    (09/05 13:50:21) Doobes: https://mystonline.com/donate/
    (09/05 13:50:39) Doobes: Let's keep this momentum going and help the cavern to truly grow again!
    (09/05 13:50:52) Doobes: That's all I've got for now. Any questions?
    (09/05 13:50:59) Korov'ev: yes…
    (09/05 13:51:05) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Ro"Jethhe.
    (09/05 13:51:05) Korov'ev: [Ro"Jethhe] Is the new content running on CYAN's server or running on a seperate server?
    (09/05 13:51:27) Korov'ev: testing, you mean?
    (09/05 13:51:30) Doobes: We tested it on their staging server first…but now, it's on the main server.
    (09/05 13:51:37) Ro"Jethhe thanks you
    (09/05 13:51:38) Doobes: And before that, on both Minkata shards.
    (09/05 13:51:47) Thumbs up from Ro"Jethhe
    (09/05 13:51:58) Doobes: So lots of layers of testing…but the true test is the sheer volume of explorers. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (09/05 13:52:03) Korov'ev: and in some cases, Gehn or DI ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (09/05 13:52:26) Korov'ev: Our next question is from philipgr.
    (09/05 13:52:27) Korov'ev: [philipgr] Are there any tutorials available on how to use Kormon?
    (09/05 13:52:27) Doobes: Yes, they were tested first on Gehn Beta.
    (09/05 13:52:36) Doobes: Oh yes! Just a sec…
    (09/05 13:52:58) Korov'ev: I wonder… ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:52:59) Doobes: https://www.guildofwriters.org/wiki/Korman:Getting_Started
    (09/05 13:53:14) philipgr: Thanks Doobes ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:53:18) Doobes: We've been updating and adding new tutorials as we go. They may still need some work, but they can get you started.
    (09/05 13:53:26) Doobes: It's best to have some knowledge of Blender 2.79b too.
    (09/05 13:53:30) philipgr: Great ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:53:45) Doobes: In fact, I just added a tutorial on how to create the GZ beam effect.
    (09/05 13:53:46) Korov'ev: and they keep getting better, also thanks to people using them
    (09/05 13:54:03) Doobes: Indeed! One more question and then I turn it back over to Kor. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:54:03) Korov'ev: so use them! ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:54:17) Korov'ev: a couple more actually, if you can ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:54:20) Doobes: I'm on Discord or the GoW IRC later though.
    (09/05 13:54:21) Doobes: Sure!
    (09/05 13:54:30) Doobes defers to Kor's schedule for this meeting ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:54:32) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Ro"Jethhe.
    (09/05 13:54:32) Korov'ev: [Ro"Jethhe] Ages with puzzles?
    (09/05 13:55:00) Ro"Jethhe: For any future new content
    (09/05 13:55:06) Doobes: That will depend on scripting and node tree wiring. Cyan provides a few handy scripts that can do quite a few things, even some of the puzzles you see here.
    (09/05 13:55:18) Ro"Jethhe says okay
    (09/05 13:55:20) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Calum Traveler.
    (09/05 13:55:21) Korov'ev: [Calum Traveler] for Chiso, the Heritage Documents should already be in the pipeline, I think?
    (09/05 13:55:34) Doobes: Plus, if you run into troubles, there's always the GoW forums, OpenURU or Cyan discords, etc.
    (09/05 13:55:44) Korov'ev: is it? ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:56:02) Doobes: I believe *someone* is getting them ready for inclusion, yes. ๐Ÿ˜€
    (09/05 13:56:10) Korov'ev whistles
    (09/05 13:56:14) Thumbs up from Calum Traveler
    (09/05 13:56:17) Korov'ev: Our next question is from CT Hostess Susa'n.
    (09/05 13:56:17) Korov'ev: [CT Hostess Susa'n] Are you the Phillip Dulebohn who spoke at the Watcher's Pub?
    (09/05 13:56:32) Korov'ev: I doubt it ๐Ÿ˜›
    (09/05 13:56:35) Hemulendottir: Patrick though?..
    (09/05 13:56:39) Calum Traveler coughs "Patrick"
    (09/05 13:56:51) Doobes: Patrick Dulebohn is my IC persona, much like RAWA's Dr. Watson.
    (09/05 13:57:05) Doobes: You see him, that means story incoming. You see this avvie and it's just little ol' me. ๐Ÿ˜›
    (09/05 13:57:12) Emor D'ni Lap: Dulebohn / 'Doobes'
    (09/05 13:57:21) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Theo.
    (09/05 13:57:21) Korov'ev: [Theo] Personal and Hood Instanced Ages?
    (09/05 13:57:31) Hemulendottir is still unused to the character shenanigans…
    (09/05 13:58:17) Doobes: I'm sure if there's puzzles involved, they can be personally instanced. As for hood instances, I leave that up to the Age builder's choice. We can do those two options and, with some work, public instances.
    (09/05 13:58:38) Doobes: Read: Korman's handy Linking Book mod ™!
    (09/05 13:59:19) Korov'ev: alright, we got throught the question list
    (09/05 13:59:33) Korov'ev: for more, you can chase Doobes
    (09/05 13:59:39) Doobes: Again, I'm on GoW's IRC #writers channel and Discord for any further questions. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (09/05 13:59:54) Doobes: Thank you very much!
    (09/05 13:59:55) Korov'ev claps his hands

  • All Guilds Meeting – August 2020 – Cleansed Chatlog

    (08/01 13:00:34)Korov’ev: Shorah, and welcome to the 124th All Guilds Meeting!

    (08/01 13:00:36)Kayara: Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say “A pig with a cold”?

    (08/01 13:00:50)Korov’ev: In the D’ni calendar today is Leesahn 24, 9676, and the time is 20:04:00:12

    (08/01 13:00:58)Korov’ev: If there’s anyone new: welcome to the Cavern! You picked the best time to visit ๐Ÿ™‚

    (08/01 13:01:03)Korov’ev: As usual, I’ll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:

    (08/01 13:01:13)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.

    (08/01 13:01:21)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.

    (08/01 13:01:31)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (08/01 13:01:41)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.

    (08/01 13:01:49)Korov'ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

    (08/01 13:01:55)Korov’ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.

    (08/01 13:02:19)Korov’ev: well, let’s start with a Cavern event…

    (08/01 13:02:29)Korov’ev: or better, a Cavern Tour!

    (08/01 13:02:36)cjherkeless claps a hand

    (08/01 13:02:42)CT Hostess Susa’n waves hello

    (08/01 13:02:59)CT Hostess Susa’n: “Cavern Tours” are a series of walking tours that cover every age in MOULa.

    (08/01 13:03:17)CT Hostess Susa’n: Each tour is held the second Saturday of the month from 11:00 to 13:00 KI time.

    (08/01 13:03:28)CT Hostess Susa’n: Our next tour is Saturday, August 8.

    (08/01 13:03:45)CT Hostess Susa’n: Please meet us in Cavern Tour’s Hood at 11:00 KI time for a brief orientation.

    (08/01 13:03:54)CT Hostess Susa’n: Then we will link together to the age to be toured.

    (08/01 13:04:13)CT Hostess Susa’n: If you need an invitation to Cavern Tour’s Hood, please PM me after this speech.

    (08/01 13:04:27)CT Hostess Susa’n: Yes, we know this tour will take place during Mysterium 2020.

    (08/01 13:04:29)CT Hostess Susa’n: ๐Ÿ™‚

    (08/01 13:04:56)CT Hostess Susa’n: Our host, Larry LeDeay applied to live-stream our tour during Mysterium, but we are not on their schedule: https://mysterium.net/schedule/

    (08/01 13:05:06)CT Hostess Susa’n: https://mysterium.net/schedule/

    (08/01 13:05:25)CT Hostess Susa’n: Larry live-streams the tour over his twitch channel

    (08/01 13:05:33)CT Hostess Susa’n: twitch.tv/LWF58

    (08/01 13:06:51)CT Hostess Susa’n: And Mirphak, who created and operates Mir-o-bot, takes us to places in an age you may have never seen.

    (08/01 13:07:03)CT Hostess Susa’n: We hope to see you next week!

    (08/01 13:07:07)CT Hostess Susa’n: Any questions?

    (08/01 13:07:09)CT Hostess Susa’n looks around for a bit

    (08/01 13:07:39)Korov’ev: thank you Susan!

    (08/01 13:08:48)Korov’ev: There is a looong list of special guests, many coming back from last year

    (08/01 13:08:51)Korov’ev: https://mysterium.net/special-guests

    (08/01 13:09:09)Korov’ev: Be sure to register if you plan to attend:

    (08/01 13:09:20)Korov’ev: https://mysterium.net/registration/

    (08/01 13:10:00)Korov’ev: Now, some news from the Language classes, and Story Nights:

    (08/01 13:10:09)Korov’ev: Let’s welcome Rehn!

    (08/01 13:10:29)Emor D’ni Lap applauds

    (08/01 13:11:14)Korov’ev: slippery stand

    (08/01 13:11:14)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (08/01 13:11:27)shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (08/01 13:11:41)shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.

    (08/01 13:12:00)shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes avaible on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time, 21:00 KI time, or 21:00 KI time depending on the student’s schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.

    (08/01 13:12:23)shokhootahn Rehn: *22:00 KI

    (08/01 13:12:37)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (08/01 13:12:59)shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…

    (08/01 13:13:22)shokhootahn Rehn: Last time, I announced that there were two students taking the classes: both were taking lesson 6.

    (08/01 13:13:41)shokhootahn Rehn: One student is now working on thier final exam.

    (08/01 13:14:17)shokhootahn Rehn: Many of you have met Tehlrov K’hris. He was one of those working on Lesson 6. I am pleased to announce that K’hris has completed his final exam and passed the D’ni 101 class. Please giver him a round of applause!

    (08/01 13:14:33)Tehlrov K’hris waves hello

    (08/01 13:14:34)Mabe claps his Hands

    (08/01 13:14:40)Tehlrov K’hris bows

    (08/01 13:14:45)Emor D’ni Lap: Yay K’hris

    (08/01 13:14:48)aqua: Great work K’hris! ๐Ÿ™‚

    (08/01 13:15:14)shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes here and on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.

    (08/01 13:15:26)shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions? Typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (08/01 13:15:46)Korov’ev: none in queue

    (08/01 13:16:04)Korov’ev: Our next question is from CT Hostess Susa’n.

    (08/01 13:16:04)Korov’ev: [CT Hostess Susa’n] is the Guild of Instructors’ Hood always public?

    (08/01 13:17:04)shokhootahn Rehn: No, only when there is no class so the lessons don’t get interrupted.

    (08/01 13:17:16)CT Hostess Susa’n says okay

    (08/01 13:17:53)shokhootahn Rehn: It can be difficult to learn a new language without disruptions.

    (08/01 13:18:33)shokhootahn Rehn: Any other questions on the lessons?

    (08/01 13:18:37)CT Hostess Susa’n: some hoods are borked and only appear in Public Links when they’re occupied

    (08/01 13:19:04)shokhootahn Rehn: Yes, Tsahno’s is like that. :-/

    (08/01 13:19:10)CT Hostess Susa’n: :/

    (08/01 13:19:30)shokhootahn Rehn: Any other questions?

    (08/01 13:19:45)Korov’ev: I think Rehn is unlikely to refuse to hand out an invitation ๐Ÿ™‚

    (08/01 13:19:56)CT Hostess Susa’n laughs

    (08/01 13:20:11)shokhootahn Rehn: Exactly!

    (08/01 13:20:12)Korov’ev: none in queue

    (08/01 13:20:18)shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

    (08/01 13:20:28)shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (08/01 13:20:41)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.

    (08/01 13:20:54)shokhootahn Rehn: Having finished the story arc of the D’ni kings and and learned about the years between king Kerath’s death and the start of the story of The Fall, we are now starting The Fall as told in the book, Myst: The Book of Ti’Ana.

    (08/01 13:21:17)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (08/01 13:21:35)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.

    (08/01 13:21:53)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.

    (08/01 13:22:16)shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (08/01 13:22:33)shokhootahn Rehn: Due to the pandemic, I will not be traveling, much, for the foreseeable future. As a result, times for both Story Nights will be unaffected by 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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (08/01 13:23:14)shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (08/01 13:23:35)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.

    (08/01 13:24:05)shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED! (caps for emphasis, not for shouting)

    (08/01 13:24:19)shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI number so they were unable to be added.

    (08/01 13:24:42)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.

    (08/01 13:24:59)shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (08/01 13:25:03)shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions? Again, typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. :-

    (08/01 13:25:21)Korov’ev: none in queue. any?

    (08/01 13:25:38)Korov’ev: thank you, Rehn!

    (08/01 13:25:42)Emor D’ni Lap thanks Rehn for his continued service

    (08/01 13:25:48)shokhootahn Rehn bows

    (08/01 13:26:20)Korov’ev: now, a bit of Fan Age Touring Club update, from the Deep Island shard.

    (08/01 13:26:29)Korov’ev: Recently we visited Ages from early 2009, like Terrati Lab, Hayal, Tsoidahl Sheegahtee, and Writers’ Niche.

    (08/01 13:26:38)Korov’ev: Tomorrow, we’ll visit Wianeroy, Soundgarden, and The Maze!

    (08/01 13:26:46)Korov’ev: There will be a pause for the next three weeks starting from the 9th,

    (08/01 13:26:55)Korov’ev: the first because of Mysterium, the other two … because I’ll be away from the computer ๐Ÿ˜€

    (08/01 13:27:07)Korov’ev: We will restart on the 30th with Botan and Moysenland, by Ametist!

    (08/01 13:27:08)CT Hostess Susa’n is amazed!

    (08/01 13:27:18)Korov’ev: The expeditions are at 11:00 KIT, in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with “/hood”).

    (08/01 13:27:26)Korov’ev: There’s also a (mute) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

    (08/01 13:27:38)Korov’ev: It can’t get better for fan Ages! Wait…

    (08/01 13:27:46)Korov’ev: I’m getting a mysterious transmission…

    (08/01 13:27:53)Korov’ev: “Hold my coffee — P.D.”

    (08/01 13:27:58)Korov’ev is a bit puzzled…

    (08/01 13:27:59)Patrick Dulebohn grins

    (08/01 13:28:01)CT Hostess Susa’n laughs

    (08/01 13:28:05)Korov’ev: yes!

    (08/01 13:28:10)Claidi Song starts to laugh

    (08/01 13:28:20)Korov’ev: let’s welcome Patrick!

    (08/01 13:28:21)Emor D’ni Lap: uh oh, I sense OOC incoming…

    (08/01 13:28:37)Patrick Dulebohn waves hello

    (08/01 13:28:37)Mabe claps his Hands

    (08/01 13:28:39)Emor D’ni Lap applauds

    (08/01 13:28:42)Patrick Dulebohn: Good afternoon, everyone.

    (08/01 13:28:51)Patrick Dulebohn: If you don’t know who I am, my name is Patrick Dulebohn. I am one of the many individual explorers who are working together towards the restoration of D’ni and the Ages contained here and elsewhere.

    (08/01 13:29:10)Patrick Dulebohn: This cavern has had a troubled history since the Fall of the D’ni people hundreds of years ago.

    (08/01 13:29:21)Patrick Dulebohn: Atrus tried, with the help of many D’ni survivors and other allies, to restore this great cavern before abandoning their efforts in favor of a new beginning in the Age of Releeshahn.

    (08/01 13:29:40)Patrick Dulebohn: In modern times, the D’ni Restoration Council, or the DRC if you prefer, has twice attempted to bring this ancient city and its Ages to their former glory, and due to circumstances out of their control, they too abandoned their efforts.

    (08/01 13:30:06)Patrick Dulebohn: Well, my friends…you can’t keep the tenacious spirit of cautiously optimistic explorers down for long.

    (08/01 13:30:14)Patrick Dulebohn grins

    (08/01 13:30:24)Claidi Song holds her breath

    (08/01 13:30:30)Patrick Dulebohn: It is with that in mind that I am proud to announce our restoration efforts are about to come to fruition!

    (08/01 13:30:33)Mabe: ;-))))))))

    (08/01 13:30:36)CT Hostess Susa’n holds Claidi

    (08/01 13:30:40)TikiBear gasps

    (08/01 13:30:48)Patrick Dulebohn: For those that don’t know, I and a dedicated gathering of explorers here in the cavern have been cataloging, repairing, reviewing, and…in some cases…even Writing the various Ages that populate the libraries here in D’ni and beyond.

    (08/01 13:31:15)Patrick Dulebohn: While it has taken much longer than we were hoping, we are now almost ready to release the first efforts of that labor for all of you to experience.

    (08/01 13:31:37)Patrick Dulebohn: For the next few weeks, we will be renovating a small room here in the cavern to house a new Linking Book. For security reasons, I can’t divulge which location yet, but soon, it will be a bit obvious due to the construction.

    (08/01 13:31:51)CT Hostess Susa’n faints

    (08/01 13:32:00)Patrick Dulebohn: Note that we will regulate our work to the off-hours so we won’t disturb everyone as they go about their explorations.

    (08/01 13:32:01)rarified hears hammers.

    (08/01 13:32:02)TikiBear fans Susa’n

    (08/01 13:32:04)Mabe: yep

    (08/01 13:32:11)Patrick Dulebohn laughs to himself

    (08/01 13:32:12)Claidi Song catches Susa’n

    (08/01 13:32:18)Patrick Dulebohn: Think the Relyimah, although without the clandestine overtones.

    (08/01 13:32:33)Patrick Dulebohn: Once work on the room is complete, we will eventually place a Linking Book to the Age of Chiso Preniv there for the public to use.

    (08/01 13:32:34)Kayara: This place has off-hours?

    (08/01 13:32:55)Patrick Dulebohn: Chiso, whose name was translated correctly but we believe was the widely-used slang term for it and not its actual name (which hasn’t been found yet), was an off-site library used by the D’ni Guild of Writers until it was, for some reason, abandoned and cleared of all its books.

    (08/01 13:33:25)Patrick Dulebohn: It was discovered amongst other Books in another library on an Age called Teshafee, and has since housed a vast majority of the work I and others have been doing cataloging that library’s contents.

    (08/01 13:33:48)Patrick Dulebohn: With Chiso, we invite any and all explorers who have been restoring their own Ages and cavern locations…or even Writing their own Ages…to bring their work to display at this library for all to experience.

    (08/01 13:34:11)Patrick Dulebohn: In time, we’re also hoping to restore an alternate Nexus system that’s been discovered to accomodate these Ages for easier access and organization.

    (08/01 13:34:35)Patrick Dulebohn: We also leave an open invitation to the DRC and its members if they ever choose to return. I think we all would like to see them in the cavern again, right?

    (08/01 13:34:52)Mabe watches the curtain closely … watches the curtain closely

    (08/01 13:34:54)Thumbs up from rarified

    (08/01 13:34:56)Adi: YAY

    (08/01 13:35:03)aqua: Amazing!!

    (08/01 13:35:14)Patrick Dulebohn: It is my hope that we will fill Chiso’s library once again, with work from all over the cavern and beyond.

    (08/01 13:35:33)Minasunda: great ๐Ÿ™‚

    (08/01 13:35:34)Patrick Dulebohn: Note that we will do our best to roll out new places to see as quickly as we can, but as you know, we’re all doing this on a volunteer basis, and much like the DRC, we want you all to experience all of this as safely as possible.

    (08/01 13:36:00)Patrick Dulebohn: Just know that we are committed to see this restoration through and expand our knowledge of the D’ni people and how they lived. Ten thousand years of history is waiting to be discovered.

    (08/01 13:36:18)Patrick Dulebohn: So there you have it. A new era in D’ni will be underway soon!

    (08/01 13:36:26)Grandbad dons a hardhat.

    (08/01 13:36:30)Thumbs up from PodHopper

    (08/01 13:36:37)TikiBear makes a sound, but it could be gas

    (08/01 13:36:43)rarified:

    (08/01 13:36:44)Patrick Dulebohn: I should note that this would not be possible without the help of countless others, some of them here today. There are so many to name and they’ve all brought us to this point over the years with all their help.

    (08/01 13:36:58)Patrick Dulebohn: To them, I give my most sincere and heartfelt thanks for all that they’ve done and continue to do.

    (08/01 13:37:07)Claidi Song bows

    (08/01 13:37:15)Patrick Dulebohn: Of course, I should also thank the DRC. After not one but *two* attempts at restoration where they’ve had the rug pulled out from under them, they have, from a distance, also been a huge help in how to go about this new effort.

    (08/01 13:37:33)Patrick Dulebohn: Even though the group has long since disbanded and they have moved on to other projects, they still have enthusiasm for D’ni and its historic culture, and they, like us, would love to see the cavern grow again.

    (08/01 13:37:52)Patrick Dulebohn: And that is exactly what we shall do. All of us, in our way, making D’ni truly thrive once again.

    (08/01 13:38:05)Patrick Dulebohn: And with that, I must thank all of you here. Without you, the spirit of this place would not have been kept alive for us to reach this point.

    (08/01 13:38:10)TikiBear: Their influence hangs above us like a fir… never mind

    (08/01 13:38:21)Patrick Dulebohn: All the event planners, guides, artists, story-tellers, boosters, enthusiasts…we are still here because of you!

    (08/01 13:38:35)Patrick Dulebohn: We hope to reward you all with new adventures, new stories, and new experiences here in D’ni and beyond.

    (08/01 13:38:50)Patrick Dulebohn: To quote a famous D’ni individual: “I hope your explorations are…satisfying.”

    (08/01 13:39:08)Patrick Dulebohn: I have time for a couple of questions, and then I must get back to work. Never a dull moment!

    (08/01 13:39:19)TikiBear throws concealed confetti

    (08/01 13:39:21)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Tehlrov K’hris.

    (08/01 13:39:21)Korov’ev: [Tehlrov K’hris] How many books can Chiso house?

    (08/01 13:39:25)CT Hostess Susa’n encourages everyone to donate to Cyan to keep MOULa alive

    (08/01 13:39:30)Korov’ev: a googleplex, more or less

    (08/01 13:39:50)Patrick Dulebohn: Currently, we have nine pedestals to feature new Ages as they come in, and quite a bit of shelf space.

    (08/01 13:39:52)rarified: (As in how many D’ni digits?)

    (08/01 13:40:01)Patrick Dulebohn: So…hundreds, really!

    (08/01 13:40:16)Patrick Dulebohn: Maybe thousands! Pretty much whatever we can stuff into the library.

    (08/01 13:40:30)Patrick Dulebohn: If we get the new Nexus network running, maybe even more.

    (08/01 13:40:32)Patrick Dulebohn smiles

    (08/01 13:40:45)Patrick Dulebohn: One more question and then I must be off.

    (08/01 13:40:55)Korov’ev: any?

    (08/01 13:41:02)Patrick Dulebohn looks around

    (08/01 13:41:05)Grandbad looks to see if a Librarian is required.

    (08/01 13:41:21)Korov’ev: thank you Patrick!

    (08/01 13:41:22)Patrick Dulebohn: I’m sure I’ll be around if anyone thinks of any. There’s work to be done, after all.

    (08/01 13:41:25)Patrick Dulebohn laughs

    (08/01 13:41:31)Patrick Dulebohn: Thank you for your time!

    (08/01 13:41:34)Patrick Dulebohn bows

    (08/01 13:41:41)Patrick Dulebohn salutes

    (08/01 13:41:47)aqua: A historic speech!! May the ending never be written!

    (08/01 13:41:48)Claidi Song thanks you

    (08/01 13:41:49)cjherkeless: we’re actually here.

    (08/01 13:42:09)Korov’ev: there’s work to be done, and science on those still alive

    (08/01 13:42:16)Korov’ev: ahem

    (08/01 13:42:30)Korov’ev: Time to wrap up this Meeting!

    (08/01 13:06:51) CT Hostess Susa'n: And Mirphak, who created and operates Mir-o-bot, takes us to places in an age you may have never seen.

    (08/01 13:11:14) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
    (08/01 13:11:27) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
    (08/01 13:11:41) shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.
    (08/01 13:12:00) shokhootahn Rehn: There are evening classes avaible on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, starting at either 20:00 KI time, 21:00 KI time, or 21:00 KI time depending on the student's schedule. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.
    (08/01 13:12:23) shokhootahn Rehn: *22:00 KI
    (08/01 13:12:37) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
    (08/01 13:12:59) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…
    (08/01 13:13:22) shokhootahn Rehn: Last time, I announced that there were two students taking the classes: both were taking lesson 6.
    (08/01 13:13:41) shokhootahn Rehn: One student is now working on thier final exam.
    (08/01 13:14:17) shokhootahn Rehn: Many of you have met Tehlrov K'hris. He was one of those working on Lesson 6. I am pleased to announce that K'hris has completed his final exam and passed the D'ni 101 class. Please giver him a round of applause!

    (08/01 13:15:14) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes here and on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.
    (08/01 13:15:26) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions? Typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (08/01 13:15:46) Korov'ev: none in queue
    (08/01 13:15:50) Claidi Song claps her hands
    (08/01 13:16:04) Korov'ev: Our next question is from CT Hostess Susa'n.
    (08/01 13:16:04) Korov'ev: [CT Hostess Susa'n] is the Guild of Instructors' Hood always public?
    (08/01 13:17:04) shokhootahn Rehn: No, only when there is no class so the lessons don't get interrupted.
    (08/01 13:17:16) CT Hostess Susa'n says okay
    (08/01 13:17:53) shokhootahn Rehn: It can be difficult to learn a new language without disruptions.
    (08/01 13:18:33) shokhootahn Rehn: Any other questions on the lessons?
    (08/01 13:18:37) CT Hostess Susa'n: some hoods are borked and only appear in Public Links when they're occupied
    (08/01 13:19:04) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes, Tsahno's is like that. :-/
    (08/01 13:19:10) CT Hostess Susa'n: :/
    (08/01 13:19:30) shokhootahn Rehn: Any other questions?
    (08/01 13:19:45) Korov'ev: I think Rehn is unlikely to refuse to hand out an invitation ๐Ÿ™‚
    (08/01 13:19:56) CT Hostess Susa'n laughs
    (08/01 13:20:11) shokhootahn Rehn: Exactly!
    (08/01 13:20:12) Korov'ev: none in queue
    (08/01 13:20:18) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
    (08/01 13:20:28) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
    (08/01 13:20:41) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.
    (08/01 13:20:54) shokhootahn Rehn: Having finished the story arc of the D'ni kings and and learned about the years between king Kerath's death and the start of the story of The Fall, we are now starting The Fall as told in the book, Myst: The Book of Ti'Ana.
    (08/01 13:21:17) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
    (08/01 13:21:35) 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.
    (08/01 13:21:53) 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.
    (08/01 13:22:16) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
    (08/01 13:22:33) shokhootahn Rehn: Due to the pandemic, I will not be traveling, much, for the foreseeable future. As a result, times for both Story Nights will be unaffected by 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. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (08/01 13:23:14) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (08/01 13:23:35) 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.
    (08/01 13:24:05) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED! (caps for emphasis, not for shouting)
    (08/01 13:24:19) shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI number so they were unable to be added.
    (08/01 13:24:42) 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.
    (08/01 13:24:59) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
    (08/01 13:25:03) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions? Again, typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. :-
    (08/01 13:25:21) Korov'ev: none in queue. any?
    (08/01 13:25:38) Korov'ev claps his hands

    (08/01 13:26:29) Korov'ev: Recently we visited Ages from early 2009, like Terrati Lab, Hayal, Tsoidahl Sheegahtee, and Writers' Niche.
    (08/01 13:26:38) Korov'ev: Tomorrow, we'll visit Wianeroy, Soundgarden, and The Maze!
    (08/01 13:26:46) Korov'ev: There will be a pause for the next three weeks starting from the 9th,
    (08/01 13:26:55) Korov'ev: the first because of Mysterium, the other two … because I'll be away from the computer ๐Ÿ˜€
    (08/01 13:27:07) Korov'ev: We will restart on the 30th with Botan and Moysenland, by Ametist!
    (08/01 13:27:08) CT Hostess Susa'n is amazed!
    (08/01 13:27:18) Korov'ev: The expeditions are at 11:00 KIT, in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with "/hood").
    (08/01 13:27:26) Korov'ev: There's also a (mute) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort
    (08/01 13:27:38) Korov'ev: It can't get better for fan Ages! Wait…
    (08/01 13:27:46) Korov'ev: I'm getting a mysterious transmission…
    (08/01 13:27:53) Korov'ev: "Hold my coffee — P.D."
    (08/01 13:27:58) Korov'ev is a bit puzzled…

    (08/01 13:28:45) aqua claps her hands
    (08/01 13:28:51) Patrick Dulebohn: If you don't know who I am, my name is Patrick Dulebohn. I am one of the many individual explorers who are working together towards the restoration of D'ni and the Ages contained here and elsewhere.
    (08/01 13:29:10) Patrick Dulebohn: This cavern has had a troubled history since the Fall of the D'ni people hundreds of years ago.
    (08/01 13:29:21) Patrick Dulebohn: Atrus tried, with the help of many D'ni survivors and other allies, to restore this great cavern before abandoning their efforts in favor of a new beginning in the Age of Releeshahn.
    (08/01 13:29:40) Patrick Dulebohn: In modern times, the D'ni Restoration Council, or the DRC if you prefer, has twice attempted to bring this ancient city and its Ages to their former glory, and due to circumstances out of their control, they too abandoned their efforts.
    (08/01 13:30:06) Patrick Dulebohn: Well, my friends…you can't keep the tenacious spirit of cautiously optimistic explorers down for long.
    (08/01 13:30:14) Patrick Dulebohn grins
    (08/01 13:30:24) Claidi Song holds her breath
    (08/01 13:30:30) Patrick Dulebohn: It is with that in mind that I am proud to announce our restoration efforts are about to come to fruition!
    (08/01 13:30:33) Mabe: ;-))))))))

    (08/01 13:30:43) etelka cheers
    (08/01 13:30:48) Patrick Dulebohn: For those that don't know, I and a dedicated gathering of explorers here in the cavern have been cataloging, repairing, reviewing, and…in some cases…even Writing the various Ages that populate the libraries here in D'ni and beyond.
    (08/01 13:30:49) Claidi Song cheers
    (08/01 13:31:15) Patrick Dulebohn: While it has taken much longer than we were hoping, we are now almost ready to release the first efforts of that labor for all of you to experience.
    (08/01 13:31:37) Patrick Dulebohn: For the next few weeks, we will be renovating a small room here in the cavern to house a new Linking Book. For security reasons, I can't divulge which location yet, but soon, it will be a bit obvious due to the construction.
    (08/01 13:31:51) CT Hostess Susa'n faints
    (08/01 13:32:00) Patrick Dulebohn: Note that we will regulate our work to the off-hours so we won't disturb everyone as they go about their explorations.
    (08/01 13:32:01) rarified hears hammers.

    (08/01 13:32:11) Patrick Dulebohn laughs to himself
    (08/01 13:32:12) Claidi Song catches Susa'n
    (08/01 13:32:18) Patrick Dulebohn: Think the Relyimah, although without the clandestine overtones.
    (08/01 13:32:33) Patrick Dulebohn: Once work on the room is complete, we will eventually place a Linking Book to the Age of Chiso Preniv there for the public to use.
    (08/01 13:32:34) Kayara: This place has off-hours?
    (08/01 13:32:55) Patrick Dulebohn: Chiso, whose name was translated correctly but we believe was the widely-used slang term for it and not its actual name (which hasn't been found yet), was an off-site library used by the D'ni Guild of Writers until it was, for some reason, abandoned and cleared of all its books.
    (08/01 13:33:25) Patrick Dulebohn: It was discovered amongst other Books in another library on an Age called Teshafee, and has since housed a vast majority of the work I and others have been doing cataloging that library's contents.
    (08/01 13:33:48) Patrick Dulebohn: With Chiso, we invite any and all explorers who have been restoring their own Ages and cavern locations…or even Writing their own Ages…to bring their work to display at this library for all to experience.
    (08/01 13:34:11) Patrick Dulebohn: In time, we're also hoping to restore an alternate Nexus system that's been discovered to accomodate these Ages for easier access and organization.
    (08/01 13:34:35) Patrick Dulebohn: We also leave an open invitation to the DRC and its members if they ever choose to return. I think we all would like to see them in the cavern again, right?
    (08/01 13:34:41) Patrick Dulebohn cheers

    (08/01 13:37:52) Patrick Dulebohn: And that is exactly what we shall do. All of us, in our way, making D'ni truly thrive once again.
    (08/01 13:38:05) Patrick Dulebohn: And with that, I must thank all of you here. Without you, the spirit of this place would not have been kept alive for us to reach this point.
    (08/01 13:38:10) TikiBear: Their influence hangs above us like a fir… never mind
    (08/01 13:38:17) Grandbad claps his hands
    (08/01 13:38:21) Patrick Dulebohn: All the event planners, guides, artists, story-tellers, boosters, enthusiasts…we are still here because of you!

    (07/11 13:32:08)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.

    (07/11 13:32:14)Mateus: back from a long time ago, lol

    (07/11 13:32:22)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.

    (07/11 13:32:30)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (07/11 13:32:36)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.

    (07/11 13:32:45)Korov’ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers’ site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

    (07/11 13:40:22)Korov’ev: Thank you Susa’n!

    (07/11 13:40:28)TikiBear: yay

    (07/11 13:40:32)CT Hostess Susa’n: Perhaps the CT can be made part of the Virtual Mysterium!

    (07/11 13:40:41)Briggs: That’d be very cool

    (07/11 13:40:48)Korov’ev: Now, an open source anniversary!

    (07/11 13:40:50)CT Hostess Susa’n: (good idea, Mirphak)

    (07/11 13:40:55)Claidi Song: Very Cool!!!

    (07/11 13:40:57)Korov’ev: There are news about Korman, on a special day. Let’s hear it from Hoikas!

    (07/11 13:41:06)TikiBear: yay

    (07/11 13:41:13)Eternal Seeker: clap

    (07/11 13:41:18)Adam {Hoikas} rumbles forward

    (07/11 13:41:28)Claidi Song sits on edge of seat

    (07/11 13:41:36)Adam {Hoikas}: Doobes brought this to my attention this morning… Because I forget things.

    (07/11 13:41:57)Adam {Hoikas}: Apparently it was 5 years ago today that the first version of Korman, the next generation age creation tool, was released.

    (07/11 13:42:08)Emor D’ni Lap: wow

    (07/11 13:42:13)Mirphak: wow

    (07/11 13:42:24)Adam {Hoikas}: So, to celebrate, today we have unleashed Korman 0.10 to rule over all the ear… I mean, be the best plugin evar

    (07/11 13:42:33)TikiBear: yay!

    (07/11 13:42:46)Emor D’ni Lap: Milestone on a milestone day!

    (07/11 13:43:01)Adam {Hoikas}: If you have visited Doobes’s Ages on the Minkata Shard, you should know that Korman 0.10 was developed in close cooperation with those Ages.

    (07/11 13:43:17)Adam {Hoikas}: If you haven’t visited those Ages yet… What are you waiting for?????? DX

    (07/11 13:43:27)Claidi Song starts to laugh

    (07/11 13:43:53)Adam {Hoikas}: Korman 0.10 adds the ability to print dymamic decals, adds a simplified linking book modifier, and fixes at least 24 bugs.

    (07/11 13:44:19)Adam {Hoikas}: In other news, at the last AGM, we mentioned that the H’uru URU client was moving toward adopting Python 3.

    (07/11 13:44:23)Thumbs up from Mirphak

    (07/11 13:44:39)aqua: If I’m not mistaken, it also adds the ability to launch the Age in Uru right from Blender! Super cool I think

    (07/11 13:44:43)Adam {Hoikas}: Thanks to our dedicated testers… Uh, philipgr, Grandbad, Doobes, Emor D’ni Lap, Deledrius, and more…

    (07/11 13:44:51)Adam {Hoikas}: This is on the list to merge soon.

    (07/11 13:45:08)Adam {Hoikas}: We are waiting for Microsoft to accept a fix I had to submit to their package manager first :/

    (07/11 13:45:17)Adam {Hoikas} grumbles about bugs

    (07/11 13:45:52)Adam {Hoikas}: In other news, the long ruminated physics engine update is underway. Not much to say right now, but it’s in progress ๐Ÿ™‚

    (07/11 13:46:03)Adam {Hoikas}: That’s all I have. Any questions, Korov’ev?

    (07/11 13:46:14)Korov’ev: none in queue. any?

    (07/11 13:46:31)Korov’ev: Thank you Hoikas!

    (07/11 13:46:36)Adam {Hoikas} slinks off

    (07/11 13:46:37)Emor D’ni Lap trolls his kudos

    (07/11 13:46:42)aqua: Awesome stuff

    (07/11 13:46:48)CT Hostess Susa’n: when is the next AGM? August 1?

    (07/11 13:47:29)Korov’ev: And speaking of fan Ages…

    (07/11 13:47:37)Korov’ev: a Minkata testing shard update from Rarified!

    (07/11 13:47:48)Emor D’ni Lap applauds

    (07/11 13:47:51)rarified looks around and cringes

    (07/11 13:47:57)EthanEver claps his head

    (07/11 13:48:08)rarified waves hello

    (07/11 13:48:14)Mateus waves hello

    (07/11 13:48:18)rarified: Shorah both new and oldtimers!

    (07/11 13:48:19)SandDoone waves hello

    (07/11 13:48:20)philipgr waves hello

    (07/11 13:48:25)Tom(Samoth): Hi!

    (07/11 13:48:37)rarified: Well… we’re there.

    (07/11 13:49:09)rarified: Fan ages were placed on Minkata over the last couple of weeks, and almost all of the bugs have been quashed.

    (07/11 13:49:35)rarified: We had a wonderful tour of Doobes’ ages with good participation.

    (07/11 13:49:58)rarified: And … which order does it go? What, where, when, why?

    (07/11 13:50:31)rarified: The ages on Minkata are ready to be released to MOULa.

    (07/11 13:50:44)Briggs: YES

    (07/11 13:50:50)philipgr: Yay

    (07/11 13:50:56)rarified: There is one persistant bug in the client that I want killed before shipping the bundle off to Chogon.

    (07/11 13:51:16)TikiBear nods

    (07/11 13:51:26)rarified: I’ve been corresponding with him, and he indicates he would rather take a large update less frequently

    (07/11 13:51:34)rarified: than a series of small updates.

    (07/11 13:52:07)rarified: I speculate, but haven’t been told, that is due to limited resources. Including a somewhat shrunken CAVCON.

    (07/11 13:52:32)rarified: So in keeping with that request, I want to kill bugs that prevent game play, as this bug can.

    (07/11 13:52:59)rarified: There are other bugs that appear when you leave the game, but don’t stop you in the middle of things.

    (07/11 13:53:11)rarified: Those bugs I think we can tolerate for a while on MOULa.

    (07/11 13:53:34)rarified: So… That’s one reason Adam hates bugs. They get in your mouth and you can’t breath.

    (07/11 13:53:56)Briggs starts to laugh

    (07/11 13:54:10)Tehlrov K’hris: yuk

    (07/11 13:54:16)rarified: When? I expect by the next AGM, it’s likely the new ages will be present on MOULa.

    (07/11 13:54:39)rarified: I’ve heard several discussions about how to “release” the ages, with either in-character or

    (07/11 13:54:51)CT Hostess Susa’n: mentioned 14:00 story just inc ase

    (07/11 13:55:00)CT Hostess Susa’n: oops

    (07/11 13:55:09)rarified: out-of-character events. And there is of course a desire to have Cyantists present.

    (07/11 13:55:25)rarified: That, if it is being worked out, is outside of my view.

    (07/11 13:55:56)rarified: But briefly, I want to say thank you to dedicated developers and testers who went through

    (07/11 13:56:10)rarified: a lot of hoops to get us here.

    (07/11 13:56:57)Deledrius: So many hoops.

    (07/11 13:57:05)Briggs: I live for hoops

    (07/11 13:57:17)rarified: So, rather than rattle on, I’ll stop there. My brain is still dripping with debugging noodles and bugs.

    (07/11 13:57:23)rarified: Questions?

    (07/11 13:57:29)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Lutra.

    (07/11 13:57:29)Korov’ev: [Lutra] What is the nature of this major bug that rarified is talking about?

    (07/11 13:58:07)rarified: It manifests itself by a crash in the middle of doing something (such as seeking markers). And drops you

    (07/11 13:58:30)rarified: out of the game. It’s difficult because it doesn’t produce the normal diagnostic information

    (07/11 13:58:35)JulyFT: hi

    (07/11 13:58:49)rarified: that the client does when it crashes (and even that is … wanting).

    (07/11 13:58:56)JulyFT: dumb question, but what is this meeting?

    (07/11 13:59:08)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Tom(Samoth).

    (07/11 13:59:08)Korov’ev: [Tom(Samoth)] How these fan Ages will become accessible here?

    (07/11 13:59:13)rarified: Adam has suggested a change to make debugging it easier, but it still will need to be reproduced.

    (07/11 13:59:54)rarified: @Tom — I’m going to leave that to the event organizers ๐Ÿ˜‰ The “new” method is a temporary

    (07/11 14:00:17)rarified: mechanism, as artists and developers work an a more sophisticated link method.

    (07/11 14:00:39)Tom(Samoth): So, you have no idea?

    (07/11 14:00:44)rarified: It won’t however, require you to be an expert.

    (07/11 14:01:05)rarified: Yes, I know, but I think it is more for the artists to do the “reveal”.

    (07/11 14:01:24)Korov’ev: Our next question is from aqua.

    (07/11 14:01:24)Korov’ev: [aqua] I’ve visited the new Ages on Gehn without these issues, can you shed light on why moving it to MOULa produces bugs?

    (07/11 14:02:10)rarified: Because we (OpenUru/Minkata) and H’uru/Gehn had differing goals for a long time, and because of those

    (07/11 14:02:33)rarified: goals, the MOULa client was not kept up to the bleeding edge of the improvements on Gehn.

    (07/11 14:03:04)rarified: Many of those conflicts are either resolving or no longer present, so we will move in the direction

    (07/11 14:03:23)rarified: ofl having most if not all Gehn features in MOULa in the future.

    (07/11 14:03:44)rarified: My efforts this year have focussed on getting fan Ages to MOULa for the first time.

    (07/11 14:03:53)rarified: And that is where we are.

    (07/11 14:03:58)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Deledrius.

    (07/11 14:03:58)Korov’ev: [Deledrius] How will the discussion be held on how to integrate things into MOULa? Who are the organizers?

    (07/11 14:04:25)JulyFT: do I have to submit questions, or can I just ask?

    (07/11 14:04:29)rarified pauses to think…

    (07/11 14:04:38)Korov’ev: better to send them to me

    (07/11 14:04:50)Adam {Hoikas}: you can PM questions to Korov’ev, just be sure it has a ? somewhere in the text

    (07/11 14:04:54)Korov’ev: but just one more, we’ll need to move on then ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (07/11 14:05:18)rarified: I don’t know whether such a discussion would be better held in real time (i.e. in game, chat, etc)

    (07/11 14:05:49)rarified: or if it would benefit from the time it takes to write thoughts down in a forum discussion.

    (07/11 14:06:12)rarified: There is already several OpenUru forum threads related to this (as I’ve been reminded recently)

    (07/11 14:06:42)rarified: and a discussion like that will likely take a fair amount of effort on all parties.

    (07/11 14:07:01)Emor D’ni Lap: Last /sit

    (07/11 14:07:02)Korov’ev: unfortunately, the forum is also where the discussions tend to die ๐Ÿ™

    (07/11 14:07:22)rarified: I’d say those of you with strong opinions are already on Discord in the OpenUru server,

    (07/11 14:07:28)Emor D’ni Lap: as they certainly do on Discord ๐Ÿ™

    (07/11 14:07:51)Deledrius: Specifically, my question was about the aforementioned Fan Age integration here.

    (07/11 14:07:52)rarified: so we can try to set times and approaches there. And see how successful it is.

    (07/11 14:08:10)Korov’ev: Our next question is from JulyFT.

    (07/11 14:08:10)Korov’ev: [JulyFT] ? do we have a process for fixing or improving Cyan content?

    (07/11 14:08:31)rarified: @Deledrius, then elaborate a little more, I don’t see what you’re looking for. @JulyFT I’ll get to you next.

    (07/11 14:08:37)Christian Walther: You didn’t answer Deledrius’ second question. Are there people working on this already, or are you just assuming they will turn up?

    (07/11 14:08:59)aqua: (if there are going to be new fan Ages in Uru by next AGM, then it seems like the question of how to integrate them should be tackled quite soon)

    (07/11 14:09:40)rarified: Again, for me “integration” means giving a copy to Cyan, to install on the MOULa servers, once

    (07/11 14:10:00)rarified: the items are working on Minkata and are acceptable to Cyan.

    (07/11 14:10:17)rarified: Once they are handed to Cyan, Chogon will install them on the Cyan “Staging” server, and

    (07/11 14:10:36)rarified: request a few people to visit and make sure the ages (and client) are working properly.

    (07/11 14:11:00)rarified: After he hears from those people about problems or lack thereof, the files will be added to

    (07/11 14:11:04)rarified: the MOULa server.

    (07/11 14:11:31)rarified: Part of the “acceptable” criteria are things like “You can get to the new age by a set of steps

    (07/11 14:11:50)rarified: you normally would encounter IC in the game today”.

    (07/11 14:11:53)Deledrius: Where is that discussion about how players access the new Ages taking place, and who is involved?

    (07/11 14:11:55)rarified: We have that.

    (07/11 14:12:29)rarified: Oh @Deledrius, that. I have not organized anything. I know Chogon asked Doobes about

    (07/11 14:12:42)Deledrius: Alright, thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (07/11 14:12:52)rarified: what he prefered to do when the ages were available on MOULa. I didn’t see any

    (07/11 14:13:17)rarified: other deeper discussion, and am presuming it will happen with me out of the loop.

    (07/11 14:13:41)Tom(Samoth): There are still enough empty pedestals in MOULa to put a linking book on…

    (07/11 14:13:54)rarified: @Judy…

    (07/11 14:14:17)rarified: The new rules regarding Cyan content that came about at the beginning of the year

    (07/11 14:14:40)rarified: open the door for alterations. The most common alteration I’ve been hearing about

    (07/11 14:14:54)rarified: is fixing collision areas and improving textures.

    (07/11 14:15:19)rarified: The altered Cyan assets would be considered the same way fan Ages are now.

    (07/11 14:15:33)rarified: And we only have one example of pushing fan ages through right now.

    (07/11 14:16:00)rarified: Other questions?

    (07/11 14:16:01)Christian Walther: Well there were the KI fixes that went through already.

    (07/11 14:16:10)Korov’ev: we should move on…

    (07/11 14:16:21)Korov’ev: Thank you Rarified!

    (07/11 14:16:39)rarified: Ok, thank you all. I hope the updates will re kindle exploration!

    (07/11 14:16:40)rarified bows

    (07/11 14:16:42)Mirphak: Thank you rarified

    (07/11 14:17:08)Korov’ev: there were more questions, but we need to move on;

    (07/11 14:17:17)Claidi Song starts to laugh

    (07/11 14:17:22)Korov’ev: please PM the speakers for further disussions ๐Ÿ™‚

    (07/11 14:17:31)rarified: I can stay after AGM if you want to ask later.

    (07/11 14:17:32)Korov’ev: Time for the usual Fan Age Touring Club update, from the Deep Island shard.

    (07/11 14:17:40)Korov’ev: Recently we visited J’Kla’s Ages, like Enobmort; Boblishman’s Ages, like Sonavio; and we skied in Pre Swaltu, by Tolip Ydob ๐Ÿ™‚

    (07/11 14:17:57)Korov’ev: Tomorrow, we’ll visit a newly released Age by Semjay: Tovaht!

    (07/11 14:18:24)Korov’ev: Then, it will be the turn of Jamey’s Ages, like Tsoidahl Sheegahtee;

    (07/11 14:18:24)Adam {Hoikas}: hmmm…. so the sliding ground DOES have a use XD

    (07/11 14:18:34)Korov’ev: then it will be more Ages from early 2009, like Terrati Lab, Hayal, The Maze, Wianeroy, Soundgarden.

    (07/11 14:18:41)philipgr: Very nice age. beautifully done ๐Ÿ™‚

    (07/11 14:18:47)Korov’ev: The expeditions are at 11:00 KIT, in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with “/hood”).

    (07/11 14:18:54)Korov’ev: There’s also a (mute) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

    (07/11 14:19:04)Korov’ev: After the tour, at 14:00 KIT, it will be a good time for Door Runs on fan shards, on rotation ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (07/11 14:19:19)Korov’ev: And now, the monthly update from r’Tayrtahn, aka Shokhootahn Rehn!

    (07/11 14:19:35)Emor D’ni Lap applauds

    (07/11 14:19:59)Korov’ev: Rehn?

    (07/11 14:20:08)Korov’ev: oh, there he is ๐Ÿ™‚

    (07/11 14:20:31)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D’ni Language Class and the other one is for r’Tayrtahn’s Story Night.

    (07/11 14:20:47)shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (07/11 14:21:00)shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.

    (07/11 14:21:31)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. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.

    (07/11 14:21:49)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (07/11 14:22:11)shokhootahn Rehn: Last time, I announced that there were two students taking the classes: both were taking lesson 6.

    (07/11 14:22:25)shokhootahn Rehn: One student is now working on thier final exam.

    (07/11 14:22:40)shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes here and on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.

    (07/11 14:23:13)shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions? Typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (07/11 14:23:33)Korov’ev: none in queue. any?

    (07/11 14:23:52)shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

    (07/11 14:24:20)shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (07/11 14:24:50)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.

    (07/11 14:25:15)shokhootahn Rehn: We will be finishing the story arc of the D’ni kings and and learn about the years between king Kerath’s death and the start of the Story of The Fall as told in the Myst book, Book of Ti’Ana.

    (07/11 14:25:40)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (07/11 14:26:04)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.

    (07/11 14:26:21)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.

    (07/11 14:26:52)shokhootahn Rehn: (today, it will be later lol)

    (07/11 14:27:03)Korov’ev: yeah, sorry ๐Ÿ˜€

    (07/11 14:27:08)shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (07/11 14:27:22)shokhootahn Rehn: np Kor ๐Ÿ™‚

    (07/11 14:27:37)shokhootahn Rehn: Due to the pandemic, I will not be traveling, much, for the foreseeable future. As a result, times for both Story Nights will be unaffected by 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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (07/11 14:28:13)shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (07/11 14:28:27)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.

    (07/11 14:29:01)shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED! (caps for emphasis, not for shouting)

    (07/11 14:29:23)shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI number so they were unable to be added.

    (07/11 14:34:25)Mateus: clap

    (07/11 14:34:34)Korov’ev: Time for some quick Cyan news:

    (07/11 14:34:39)Korov’ev: A recent update about Firmament defined the delivery date od July 2020 as “wildly optimistic”;

    (07/11 14:34:44)Korov’ev: a more likely date will be sometime in 2022.

    (07/11 14:34:51)Korov’ev: The update also showcased two concept arts of [REDACTED].

    (07/11 14:35:09)Korov’ev: On to concerning news…

    (07/11 14:35:12)Korov’ev: June ended with a CavFunding of 54% (Cavcon 1.5), a population of 35,478 explorers, and 1210 unique visits.

    (07/11 14:35:20)Korov’ev: There was no rollover from the last month, so the reserve is now empty.

    (07/11 14:35:33)Kayara: Did you put the REDEACTED in there?

    (07/11 14:35:38)Korov’ev: Like they say on Youtube, only a fraction of all explorers actually donate;

    (07/11 14:35:44)Korov’ev: if every explorer who was online last month donated $1, the Cavern would be funded for over a month.

    (07/11 14:35:56)MindWalker: They should’ve called it REDACTION to sound like a sequel to Obduction ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (07/11 14:36:01)Mateus: wow, im going to fund

    (07/11 14:36:09)Mateus: didnt realise

    (07/11 14:36:15)Korov’ev: We need a Cavon Party ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (07/11 14:36:22)Korov’ev: CavCon

    (07/11 14:36:23)shokhootahn Rehn: Yes!

    (07/11 14:36:32)Korov’ev: Now, some quick news from (Virtual) Mysterium 2020:

    (07/11 14:36:38)Korov’ev: Registration is now open, until August 9!

    (07/11 14:36:45)Korov’ev: The free (but required) registration to the virtual event, that is. The Committee noted that donations are appreciated ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (07/11 14:36:56)Korov’ev: An upside of the convention being online is that more special guests can be available:

    (07/11 14:37:03)Korov’ev: Russell Brower, Chuck Carter, Tim Larkin, Marty O’Donnell, Katie Postma, and Jack Wall will all be back, along with a few more yet to be announced.

    (07/11 13:43:01) Adam {Hoikas}: If you have visited Doobes's Ages on the Minkata Shard, you should know that Korman 0.10 was developed in close cooperation with those Ages.
    (07/11 13:43:17) Adam {Hoikas}: If you haven't visited those Ages yet… What are you waiting for?????? DX
    (07/11 13:43:27) Claidi Song starts to laugh
    (07/11 13:43:53) Adam {Hoikas}: Korman 0.10 adds the ability to print dymamic decals, adds a simplified linking book modifier, and fixes at least 24 bugs.
    (07/11 13:44:19) Adam {Hoikas}: In other news, at the last AGM, we mentioned that the H'uru URU client was moving toward adopting Python 3.
    (07/11 13:44:23) Thumbs up from Mirphak
    (07/11 13:44:39) aqua: If I'm not mistaken, it also adds the ability to launch the Age in Uru right from Blender! Super cool I think
    (07/11 13:44:43) Adam {Hoikas}: Thanks to our dedicated testers… Uh, philipgr, Grandbad, Doobes, Emor D'ni Lap, Deledrius, and more…
    (07/11 13:44:51) Adam {Hoikas}: This is on the list to merge soon.

    (07/11 13:45:17) Adam {Hoikas} grumbles about bugs
    (07/11 13:45:52) Adam {Hoikas}: In other news, the long ruminated physics engine update is underway. Not much to say right now, but it's in progress ๐Ÿ™‚
    (07/11 13:46:03) Adam {Hoikas}: That's all I have. Any questions, Korov'ev?
    (07/11 13:46:14) Korov'ev: none in queue. any?

    (07/11 13:48:25) Tom(Samoth): Hi!
    (07/11 13:48:37) rarified: Well… we're there.
    (07/11 13:49:09) rarified: Fan ages were placed on Minkata over the last couple of weeks, and almost all of the bugs have been quashed.
    (07/11 13:49:35) rarified: We had a wonderful tour of Doobes' ages with good participation.
    (07/11 13:49:38) Theo cheers!!
    (07/11 13:49:58) rarified: And … which order does it go? What, where, when, why?
    (07/11 13:50:31) rarified: The ages on Minkata are ready to be released to MOULa.
    (07/11 13:50:41) SandDoone cheers
    (07/11 13:50:44) Briggs: YES
    (07/11 13:50:49) TikiBear cheers

    (07/11 13:50:54) TGMChrist cheers
    (07/11 13:50:56) rarified: There is one persistant bug in the client that I want killed before shipping the bundle off to Chogon.
    (07/11 13:51:16) TikiBear nods
    (07/11 13:51:26) rarified: I've been corresponding with him, and he indicates he would rather take a large update less frequently
    (07/11 13:51:34) rarified: than a series of small updates.
    (07/11 13:52:07) rarified: I speculate, but haven't been told, that is due to limited resources. Including a somewhat shrunken CAVCON.
    (07/11 13:52:32) rarified: So in keeping with that request, I want to kill bugs that prevent game play, as this bug can.
    (07/11 13:52:59) rarified: There are other bugs that appear when you leave the game, but don't stop you in the middle of things.
    (07/11 13:53:11) rarified: Those bugs I think we can tolerate for a while on MOULa.
    (07/11 13:53:34) rarified: So… That's one reason Adam hates bugs. They get in your mouth and you can't breath.
    (07/11 13:53:56) Briggs starts to laugh
    (07/11 13:54:10) Tehlrov K'hris: yuk
    (07/11 13:54:16) rarified: When? I expect by the next AGM, it's likely the new ages will be present on MOULa.
    (07/11 13:54:39) rarified: I've heard several discussions about how to "release" the ages, with either in-character or
    (07/11 13:54:51) CT Hostess Susa'n: mentioned 14:00 story just inc ase
    (07/11 13:55:00) CT Hostess Susa'n: oops
    (07/11 13:55:09) rarified: out-of-character events. And there is of course a desire to have Cyantists present.
    (07/11 13:55:25) rarified: That, if it is being worked out, is outside of my view.
    (07/11 13:55:56) rarified: But briefly, I want to say thank you to dedicated developers and testers who went through
    (07/11 13:56:10) rarified: a lot of hoops to get us here.
    (07/11 13:56:57) Deledrius: So many hoops.
    (07/11 13:57:05) Briggs: I live for hoops
    (07/11 13:57:11) Deledrius cheers
    (07/11 13:57:17) rarified: So, rather than rattle on, I'll stop there. My brain is still dripping with debugging noodles and bugs.
    (07/11 13:57:23) rarified: Questions?
    (07/11 13:57:29) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Lutra.
    (07/11 13:57:29) Korov'ev: [Lutra] What is the nature of this major bug that rarified is talking about?
    (07/11 13:58:07) rarified: It manifests itself by a crash in the middle of doing something (such as seeking markers). And drops you
    (07/11 13:58:30) rarified: out of the game. It's difficult because it doesn't produce the normal diagnostic information
    (07/11 13:58:35) JulyFT: hi
    (07/11 13:58:49) rarified: that the client does when it crashes (and even that is … wanting).
    (07/11 13:58:56) JulyFT: dumb question, but what is this meeting?
    (07/11 13:59:08) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Tom(Samoth).
    (07/11 13:59:08) Korov'ev: [Tom(Samoth)] How these fan Ages will become accessible here?
    (07/11 13:59:13) rarified: Adam has suggested a change to make debugging it easier, but it still will need to be reproduced.
    (07/11 13:59:54) rarified: @Tom — I'm going to leave that to the event organizers ๐Ÿ˜‰ The "new" method is a temporary
    (07/11 14:00:17) rarified: mechanism, as artists and developers work an a more sophisticated link method.
    (07/11 14:00:39) Tom(Samoth): So, you have no idea?
    (07/11 14:00:44) rarified: It won't however, require you to be an expert.
    (07/11 14:01:05) rarified: Yes, I know, but I think it is more for the artists to do the "reveal".
    (07/11 14:01:24) Korov'ev: Our next question is from aqua.
    (07/11 14:01:24) Korov'ev: [aqua] I've visited the new Ages on Gehn without these issues, can you shed light on why moving it to MOULa produces bugs?
    (07/11 14:02:10) rarified: Because we (OpenUru/Minkata) and H'uru/Gehn had differing goals for a long time, and because of those
    (07/11 14:02:33) rarified: goals, the MOULa client was not kept up to the bleeding edge of the improvements on Gehn.
    (07/11 14:03:04) rarified: Many of those conflicts are either resolving or no longer present, so we will move in the direction
    (07/11 14:03:23) rarified: ofl having most if not all Gehn features in MOULa in the future.
    (07/11 14:03:32) Deledrius claps his hands
    (07/11 14:03:42) shokhootahn Rehn cheers
    (07/11 14:03:44) rarified: My efforts this year have focussed on getting fan Ages to MOULa for the first time.
    (07/11 14:03:53) rarified: And that is where we are.
    (07/11 14:03:58) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Deledrius.
    (07/11 14:03:58) Korov'ev: [Deledrius] How will the discussion be held on how to integrate things into MOULa? Who are the organizers?
    (07/11 14:03:59) PodHopper cheers
    (07/11 14:04:25) JulyFT: do I have to submit questions, or can I just ask?
    (07/11 14:04:29) rarified pauses to think…
    (07/11 14:04:38) Korov'ev: better to send them to me
    (07/11 14:04:50) Adam {Hoikas}: you can PM questions to Korov'ev, just be sure it has a ? somewhere in the text
    (07/11 14:04:54) Korov'ev: but just one more, we'll need to move on then ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (07/11 14:05:18) rarified: I don't know whether such a discussion would be better held in real time (i.e. in game, chat, etc)
    (07/11 14:05:49) rarified: or if it would benefit from the time it takes to write thoughts down in a forum discussion.
    (07/11 14:06:12) rarified: There is already several OpenUru forum threads related to this (as I've been reminded recently)
    (07/11 14:06:42) rarified: and a discussion like that will likely take a fair amount of effort on all parties.
    (07/11 14:07:01) Emor D'ni Lap: Last /sit
    (07/11 14:07:02) Korov'ev: unfortunately, the forum is also where the discussions tend to die ๐Ÿ™
    (07/11 14:07:22) rarified: I'd say those of you with strong opinions are already on Discord in the OpenUru server,
    (07/11 14:07:28) Emor D'ni Lap: as they certainly do on Discord ๐Ÿ™
    (07/11 14:07:51) Deledrius: Specifically, my question was about the aforementioned Fan Age integration here.
    (07/11 14:07:52) rarified: so we can try to set times and approaches there. And see how successful it is.
    (07/11 14:08:10) Korov'ev: Our next question is from JulyFT.
    (07/11 14:08:10) Korov'ev: [JulyFT] ? do we have a process for fixing or improving Cyan content?
    (07/11 14:08:31) rarified: @Deledrius, then elaborate a little more, I don't see what you're looking for. @JulyFT I'll get to you next.
    (07/11 14:08:37) Christian Walther: You didn't answer Deledrius' second question. Are there people working on this already, or are you just assuming they will turn up?
    (07/11 14:08:59) aqua: (if there are going to be new fan Ages in Uru by next AGM, then it seems like the question of how to integrate them should be tackled quite soon)
    (07/11 14:09:40) rarified: Again, for me "integration" means giving a copy to Cyan, to install on the MOULa servers, once
    (07/11 14:10:00) rarified: the items are working on Minkata and are acceptable to Cyan.
    (07/11 14:10:17) rarified: Once they are handed to Cyan, Chogon will install them on the Cyan "Staging" server, and
    (07/11 14:10:36) rarified: request a few people to visit and make sure the ages (and client) are working properly.
    (07/11 14:11:00) rarified: After he hears from those people about problems or lack thereof, the files will be added to
    (07/11 14:11:04) rarified: the MOULa server.
    (07/11 14:11:31) rarified: Part of the "acceptable" criteria are things like "You can get to the new age by a set of steps
    (07/11 14:11:50) rarified: you normally would encounter IC in the game today".
    (07/11 14:11:53) Deledrius: Where is that discussion about how players access the new Ages taking place, and who is involved?
    (07/11 14:11:55) rarified: We have that.
    (07/11 14:12:29) rarified: Oh @Deledrius, that. I have not organized anything. I know Chogon asked Doobes about
    (07/11 14:12:42) Deledrius: Alright, thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (07/11 14:12:52) rarified: what he prefered to do when the ages were available on MOULa. I didn't see any
    (07/11 14:13:17) rarified: other deeper discussion, and am presuming it will happen with me out of the loop.
    (07/11 14:13:41) Tom(Samoth): There are still enough empty pedestals in MOULa to put a linking book on…
    (07/11 14:13:54) rarified: @Judy…
    (07/11 14:14:17) rarified: The new rules regarding Cyan content that came about at the beginning of the year
    (07/11 14:14:40) rarified: open the door for alterations. The most common alteration I've been hearing about
    (07/11 14:14:54) rarified: is fixing collision areas and improving textures.
    (07/11 14:15:19) rarified: The altered Cyan assets would be considered the same way fan Ages are now.
    (07/11 14:15:33) rarified: And we only have one example of pushing fan ages through right now.
    (07/11 14:16:00) rarified: Other questions?
    (07/11 14:16:01) Christian Walther: Well there were the KI fixes that went through already.
    (07/11 14:16:10) Korov'ev: we should move on…

    (07/11 14:17:31) rarified: I can stay after AGM if you want to ask later.
    (07/11 14:17:32) Korov'ev: Time for the usual Fan Age Touring Club update, from the Deep Island shard.
    (07/11 14:17:40) Korov'ev: Recently we visited J'Kla's Ages, like Enobmort; Boblishman's Ages, like Sonavio; and we skied in Pre Swaltu, by Tolip Ydob ๐Ÿ™‚
    (07/11 14:17:57) Korov'ev: Tomorrow, we'll visit a newly released Age by Semjay: Tovaht!
    (07/11 14:18:15) Deledrius cheers
    (07/11 14:18:24) Korov'ev: Then, it will be the turn of Jamey's Ages, like Tsoidahl Sheegahtee;
    (07/11 14:18:24) Adam {Hoikas}: hmmm…. so the sliding ground DOES have a use XD
    (07/11 14:18:32) SandDoone claps her hands
    (07/11 14:18:34) Korov'ev: then it will be more Ages from early 2009, like Terrati Lab, Hayal, The Maze, Wianeroy, Soundgarden.
    (07/11 14:18:41) philipgr: Very nice age. beautifully done ๐Ÿ™‚
    (07/11 14:18:47) Korov'ev: The expeditions are at 11:00 KIT, in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with "/hood").
    (07/11 14:18:54) Korov'ev: There's also a (mute) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort
    (07/11 14:19:04) Korov'ev: After the tour, at 14:00 KIT, it will be a good time for Door Runs on fan shards, on rotation ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (07/11 14:19:19) Korov'ev: And now, the monthly update from r'Tayrtahn, aka Shokhootahn Rehn!

    (07/11 14:20:31) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, I have two separate announcements. One is for the D'ni Language Class and the other one is for r'Tayrtahn's Story Night.
    (07/11 14:20:47) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
    (07/11 14:21:00) shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.
    (07/11 14:21:31) 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. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.
    (07/11 14:21:49) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
    (07/11 14:22:11) shokhootahn Rehn: Last time, I announced that there were two students taking the classes: both were taking lesson 6.
    (07/11 14:22:25) shokhootahn Rehn: One student is now working on thier final exam.
    (07/11 14:22:40) shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors' Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes here and on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.
    (07/11 14:23:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions? Typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (07/11 14:23:33) Korov'ev: none in queue. any?
    (07/11 14:23:52) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
    (07/11 14:24:20) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
    (07/11 14:24:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.
    (07/11 14:25:15) shokhootahn Rehn: We will be finishing the story arc of the D'ni kings and and learn about the years between king Kerath's death and the start of the Story of The Fall as told in the Myst book, Book of Ti'Ana.
    (07/11 14:25:40) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
    (07/11 14:26:04) 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.
    (07/11 14:26:21) 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.
    (07/11 14:26:52) shokhootahn Rehn: (today, it will be later lol)
    (07/11 14:27:03) Korov'ev: yeah, sorry ๐Ÿ˜€
    (07/11 14:27:08) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
    (07/11 14:27:22) shokhootahn Rehn: np Kor ๐Ÿ™‚
    (07/11 14:27:37) shokhootahn Rehn: Due to the pandemic, I will not be traveling, much, for the foreseeable future. As a result, times for both Story Nights will be unaffected by 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. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (07/11 14:28:13) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (07/11 14:28:27) 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.
    (07/11 14:29:01) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED! (caps for emphasis, not for shouting)
    (07/11 14:29:23) shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI number so they were unable to be added.
    (07/11 14:30:02) 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.
    (07/11 14:32:41) shokhootahn Rehn: For today, only, SN-E will start at 15:00 KI regardless of the nuber of minutes after this AGM… unless the AGM lasts past 15:00 KI, at which point it will be canceled for today.
    (07/11 14:32:57) Korov'ev: we're almost done ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (07/11 14:33:02) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (07/11 14:34:44) Korov'ev: a more likely date will be sometime in 2022.
    (07/11 14:34:51) Korov'ev: The update also showcased two concept arts of [REDACTED].
    (07/11 14:35:09) Korov'ev: On to concerning news…
    (07/11 14:35:12) Korov'ev: June ended with a CavFunding of 54% (Cavcon 1.5), a population of 35,478 explorers, and 1210 unique visits.
    (07/11 14:35:20) Korov'ev: There was no rollover from the last month, so the reserve is now empty.
    (07/11 14:35:33) Kayara: Did you put the REDEACTED in there?
    (07/11 14:35:38) Korov'ev: Like they say on Youtube, only a fraction of all explorers actually donate;
    (07/11 14:35:44) Korov'ev: if every explorer who was online last month donated $1, the Cavern would be funded for over a month.
    (07/11 14:35:56) MindWalker: They should've called it REDACTION to sound like a sequel to Obduction ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (07/11 14:36:01) Mateus: wow, im going to fund

    (07/11 14:36:38) Korov'ev: Registration is now open, until August 9!
    (07/11 14:36:45) Korov'ev: The free (but required) registration to the virtual event, that is. The Committee noted that donations are appreciated ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (07/11 14:36:56) Korov'ev: An upside of the convention being online is that more special guests can be available:
    (07/11 14:37:03) Korov'ev: Russell Brower, Chuck Carter, Tim Larkin, Marty O'Donnell, Katie Postma, and Jack Wall will all be back, along with a few more yet to be announced.
    (07/11 14:37:27) Korov'ev: The deadline for the Pass The Book Challenge submissions is TOMORROW, so if you're planning to participate, it's now or next year!

    (06/06 13:00:06)Korov’ev: Shorah, and welcome to the 122nd All Guilds Meeting!

    (06/06 13:00:11)Minasunda: shorah Mir :))

    (06/06 13:00:18)Korov’ev: In the D’ni calendar today is Leebro 9, 9676, and the time is 9:01:01:14

    (06/06 13:00:21)philipgr: Shorah Mir ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:00:40)Korov’ev: If there’s anyone new: welcome to the Cavern! You picked the best time to visit ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:00:47)Korov’ev: As usual, I’ll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:

    (06/06 13:00:53)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.

    (06/06 13:00:54)Doobes: AGM time is best time. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:01:04)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.

    (06/06 13:01:14)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (06/06 13:01:21)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.

    (06/06 13:01:30)Korov’ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers’ site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

    (06/06 13:01:30)AdrianGreen (I’m on the surface, be back in a minute):

    (06/06 13:01:39)Korov’ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.

    (06/06 13:01:54)Alien yawns at Jan

    (06/06 13:02:00)Korov’ev: Let’s start with, can you guess, a music event:

    (06/06 13:02:10)Sleeper Jan: Hallo all

    (06/06 13:02:12)Korov’ev: Next Monday [15] at 13:00, Nosila will host the music program: Young, Gifted & Black, in Ae’gura Plaza as always!

    (06/06 13:02:21)Korov’ev: The stream will be as always at http://mosilaradio.caster.fm

    (06/06 13:02:30)Doobes: Sweet!

    (06/06 13:02:43)Korov’ev: Of course, next week there will also be… a Cavern Tour!

    (06/06 13:02:49)Korov’ev: Let’s hear the details from Susa’n!

    (06/06 13:02:58)Alien claps

    (06/06 13:03:03)CT Hostess Susa’n waves hello

    (06/06 13:03:04)Grandbad claps

    (06/06 13:03:21)CT Hostess Susa’n: “Cavern Tours” are a series of walking tours that cover every Age in MOULa.

    (06/06 13:03:44)CT Hostess Susa’n: Each tour is held the second Saturday of each month from 11:00 to 13:00 KI time — that’s Mountain Time.

    (06/06 13:03:51)CT Hostess Susa’n: The next tour is Saturday, June 13.

    (06/06 13:04:05)CT Hostess Susa’n: Please meet us in Cavern Tour’s Hood at 11:00 KI time for a brief orientation.

    (06/06 13:04:17)CT Hostess Susa’n: Then we will link together to the Age to be toured …

    (06/06 13:04:28)CT Hostess Susa’n: which will be the Island of Ae’gura.

    (06/06 13:04:49)CT Hostess Susa’n: Unfortunately, Cavern Tour’s Hood is still borked and does not appear in Public Links in the Nexus.

    (06/06 13:04:51)CT Hostess Susa’n says DOH!

    (06/06 13:05:23)CT Hostess Susa’n: If you PM me after this speech I will send you an invitation to the Hood so you can access it via Private Links.

    (06/06 13:05:55)CT Hostess Susa’n: Our host, Larry LeDeay, used his twitch.tv/LWF58 account to broadcast our voices and to live-stream the tour.

    (06/06 13:06:15)CT Hostess Susa’n: And so you will need to open your Internet browser to partcipate in each tour.

    (06/06 13:06:32)CT Hostess Susa’n: RAWA’s mother, Darlene, usually joins the tour via twitch.

    (06/06 13:06:47)CT Hostess Susa’n: Larry often shows photos and videos you may have never seen!

    (06/06 13:07:09)CT Hostess Susa’n: and Mirphak may take us to locations in Ae’gura you may have never seen.

    (06/06 13:07:28)CT Hostess Susa’n: Mirphak is with us now; please take a moment to thank him for his help!

    (06/06 13:09:02)Korov’ev: In light of recent events related to the latest client update, it would be helpful to clarify the open source developers’ side.

    (06/06 13:09:12)Korov’ev: With that in mind, let’s hear from the haxxors!

    (06/06 13:09:32)AdrianGreen: clap

    (06/06 13:11:05)Adam {Hoikas}: ok, so, uh maybe I wasn’t quite prepared to speak, but Korov’ev said thou must speaketh

    (06/06 13:11:12)Adam {Hoikas}: so I will speaketh

    (06/06 13:11:16)Doobes bows to the will of the Korov’ev

    (06/06 13:11:25)Adam {Hoikas} would drop his notes if there were any

    (06/06 13:11:34)Briggs starts to laugh

    (06/06 13:11:53)Adam {Hoikas}: As you know, there was an update to MOULa in the last week or so that changed some components of the physics.

    (06/06 13:12:10)Emor D’ni Lap: badabum

    (06/06 13:12:26)Adam {Hoikas}: This was done in response to some issues we saw when getting Doobes’ Age Chiso Preniv onto the Minkata testing server

    (06/06 13:12:37)Emor D’ni Lap: EEEEEEK!

    (06/06 13:12:41)Doobes cowers

    (06/06 13:12:52)Eternal Seeker: emor shut up please

    (06/06 13:13:08)Emor D’ni Lap applauds

    (06/06 13:13:32)Adam {Hoikas}: Recently, Korov’ev pointed out that there were some rumors that these updates had broken the “bots”

    (06/06 13:13:58)Adam {Hoikas}: I don’t use them personally, but from what I can gather, certain skydiving jumps are more difficult now. Is that correct?

    (06/06 13:14:26)Boywhith: every skydiving jump is difficult for me…

    (06/06 13:14:29)Doobes: To be fair, that’s not the fault of the bots themselves.

    (06/06 13:14:36)Adam {Hoikas} hopes he understands correctly

    (06/06 13:15:02)Doobes: Our goal is to clear up any misconceptions the community may have.

    (06/06 13:15:05)CT Hostess Susa’n: skydiving has been difficult since we lost the Skydiving client

    (06/06 13:15:20)Doobes: To be fair, it’s not “lost”…just woefully out of date.

    (06/06 13:15:23)Adam {Hoikas}: that was before this most recent update though, correct?

    (06/06 13:15:30)CT Hostess Susa’n: yes

    (06/06 13:15:33)Adam {Hoikas}: ok

    (06/06 13:15:50)Adam {Hoikas}: like I say, I don’t do much in terms of marker games and bot stuff

    (06/06 13:16:04)Doobes is terrible at such games ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:16:10)Adam {Hoikas}: but what I know for a fact is that none of the work we do is intended to break these things

    (06/06 13:16:28)Thumbs up from Minasunda

    (06/06 13:16:41)Doobes: The thing you guys need to remember with coding is that it’s not perfect. One thing gets fixed and it breaks another.

    (06/06 13:16:42)Adam {Hoikas}: all of the work on the game happens in the clear. The main new feature/fix development happens on the GoW IRC and on GitHub

    (06/06 13:17:06)Adam {Hoikas}: The process of updating the MOULa client’s physics happened on the OpenURU discord.

    (06/06 13:17:15)Adam {Hoikas}: I am sure Korov’ev will be glad to provide links ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:17:39)Adam {Hoikas}: During that time, we did not receive any input from the SkyDiving community that I am aware of

    (06/06 13:17:50)Doobes: I highly encourage you guys to join the OU discord as it’s a nice window into what is going on as well as the best place to find out if there’s changes brewing.

    (06/06 13:18:01)Adam {Hoikas}: The changes to the physics that came last week have been available on Gehn Shard for the last 6 years.

    (06/06 13:18:29)Adam {Hoikas}: So, I was a little shocked to discover that something had broken to the point that we had someone threatening to shut down his bots and leave.

    (06/06 13:18:54)CT Hostess Susa’n: (not MIrphak)

    (06/06 13:19:16)Adam {Hoikas}: In other words, if you are creating content for the game, we need for you to be an active participant in at least the discussion on how development moves forward.

    (06/06 13:19:26)Sleeper Jan: threatening is a bit too much to say, maybe

    (06/06 13:19:29)Adam {Hoikas}: I regularly read the OU discord.

    (06/06 13:19:57)Doobes: We do not want to disregard the Skydiver community outright. It’s why Lyrositor originally created their special client in the first place.

    (06/06 13:19:59)Adam {Hoikas}: Not the Cyan discord though, due to personal issues with the moderation staff. Maybe I will try again now that ownership has changed hands ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:20:07)Zeke365 reads ou discord

    (06/06 13:20:14)Adam {Hoikas}: Anyway, that’s all I can think of – Korov’ev did we miss anything?

    (06/06 13:20:29)Adam {Hoikas} <3 tab name completion

    (06/06 13:20:38)Korov’ev: I think so. any questions?

    (06/06 13:20:44)Doobes: The key thing to remember here is that we don’t work in a vacuum. Our programmer friends DO listen. I can personally vouch for that.

    (06/06 13:20:54)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Sciviz.

    (06/06 13:20:54)Korov’ev: [Sciviz] What is the GOW IRC channel? is it on freenode?

    (06/06 13:20:56)Thumbs up from CT Hostess Susa’n

    (06/06 13:21:10)Adam {Hoikas}: We’re on irc.guildofwriters.org channel #writers

    (06/06 13:21:22)Adam {Hoikas}: next?

    (06/06 13:21:43)Korov’ev: thank you, guys!

    (06/06 13:21:45)Mabe: there’s only one thing to say… thank you very much for the work, for every improvement, for the effort and time, thank you !!

    (06/06 13:22:00)Adam {Hoikas}: You’re welcome – and I do apologize for any confusion

    (06/06 13:22:06)Adam {Hoikas} exit stage left

    (06/06 13:22:10)Korov’ev: a quick one:

    (06/06 13:22:14)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Alien.

    (06/06 13:22:14)Korov’ev: [Alien] Is PhysX affected? IIs this anything to do with PhysX? I haven’t had to update PhysX but I know someone who had to

    (06/06 13:22:16)AdrianGreen: clap

    (06/06 13:22:26)Emor D’ni Lap thanks the H’uru guys for their vast investment of time over the years

    (06/06 13:22:30)Korov’ev: Doobes, wait ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:22:33)Doobes looks to Hoikas

    (06/06 13:22:57)Adam {Hoikas}: Uru is in a bad situation with PhysX. MOUL was using version 2.6.0, which is so old that the NVIDIA graphics driver will sometimes uninstall it.

    (06/06 13:23:01)Doobes: A good slogan: “Don’t get mad…get talking!”

    (06/06 13:23:24)CT Hostess Susa’n had to install latest PhysX with update #159

    (06/06 13:23:26)Adam {Hoikas}: We are now at 2.6.4, which is still entirely too old. The most recent version (4.0? 4.1?) doesn’t even have to be installed.

    (06/06 13:23:41)Adam {Hoikas}: 5.0 is supposed to come out sometime this year

    (06/06 13:23:54)Alien thanks Adam

    (06/06 13:23:57)Adam {Hoikas}: YW

    (06/06 13:23:57)Korov’ev: On the fan Ages front…

    (06/06 13:24:10)Korov’ev: Let’s welcome Doobes, again! ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:24:22)Doobes: Hiiiii! Me again. ๐Ÿ˜›

    (06/06 13:24:23)AdrianGreen: clap

    (06/06 13:24:24)Doobes waves hello

    (06/06 13:24:36)Doobes: Shorah, my fellow explorers!

    (06/06 13:24:45)Doobes: I hope you’re all doing well despite all that’s going on on the surface world.

    (06/06 13:24:57)Doobes: Even living with drama both global and personal, I’m still hard at work on content for this very game you’re playing.

    (06/06 13:25:08)Doobes: I’ve continued to work with rarified and OpenURU to get my three released Ages ready for Minkata prime, where the heavy testing will begin.

    (06/06 13:25:10)Thumbs up from CT Hostess Susa’n

    (06/06 13:25:13)Doobes nods to rarified

    (06/06 13:25:29)rarified knods back.

    (06/06 13:25:32)Doobes: After that, once Cyan is ready to go, we take things to the staging server for some quick checks and testing…

    (06/06 13:25:43)Doobes: …then you’ll see some big changes here for the first time in nearly 12 years!

    (06/06 13:25:59)Doobes: After a bit of a break from Age building after the big Age releases a couple of months ago (aside from a small but deeply personal addition to Veelay Tsahvahn on Gehn Shard), I’m ready to get back to work.

    (06/06 13:26:00)Boywhith: wow!

    (06/06 13:26:20)Doobes: In fact…I’ve been developing a brand new Age that promises to be quite exciting…if I can pull it off. ๐Ÿ˜›

    (06/06 13:26:32)Doobes: So pretty much all of us know about the Gahreesen wall, right? Or at least what it should be doing were it not in need of some serious clean up in the code.

    (06/06 13:26:47)bella1 is all ears

    (06/06 13:26:49)Doobes: Well, I’ve begun to create a brand new Age that takes that concept to a new place!

    (06/06 13:26:50)Grandbad nods his head

    (06/06 13:26:54)Alien rubs her nose

    (06/06 13:27:01)Doobes: So yes, for the first time, I’ll be creating a game Age.

    (06/06 13:27:14)Doobes: Instead of a wall, however, it will be a circular maze that can be changed and run by one to four players or teams. No more climbing and possibly falling…at least in its current iteration.

    (06/06 13:27:30)Doobes: Much like the wall, each person/team will get a set number of barriers to activate within the maze to try and trip up the other players.

    (06/06 13:27:44)TikiBear is intrigued

    (06/06 13:27:44)Doobes: This means the maze will potentially be different each time; no memorizing the route. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (06/06 13:27:57)Grandbad laughs

    (06/06 13:28:00)Doobes: The blockers can be placed anywhere within the entire maze. You can either set these manually or choose to randomize them. The latter will be helpful for single players wanting a challenge.

    (06/06 13:28:02)Claidi Song: Like doors runs, then?

    (06/06 13:28:26)Doobes: Once the maze is set, players will get to run the maze until they reach the center. There, they will signal (in some way TBD) that they’ve reached the goal and that player/team will win.

    (06/06 13:28:34)Doobes: In a way, Cladi, although more competitive.

    (06/06 13:28:44)Claidi Song nods her head

    (06/06 13:28:50)Doobes: Unlike the wall, you will have a chance to remove those aforementioned blockers and possibly give yourself an edge. There will be a control panel beside each blocker.

    (06/06 13:29:05)Doobes: It will be a one-in-four chance, and you only get one shot, so it’s up to the player if they want to take a moment to try and lower the blocker (which may not even offer an advantage) or leave it and continue on.

    (06/06 13:29:20)bella1: Oooooooooh

    (06/06 13:29:23)Doobes: A timer, counting up or down, can also be chosen for an extra challenge.

    (06/06 13:29:29)Adam {Hoikas}: spoilers!

    (06/06 13:29:34)Alien is intrigued

    (06/06 13:29:40)Doobes: Again, this is mostly in the planning and building stages so far, and some details need to be ironed out, but I’m hoping this will encourage friendly (or maybe even fierce) competition amongst ourselves…and provide a new bit of fun.

    (06/06 13:29:52)Adam {Hoikas}: I can already see uses for py3 ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (06/06 13:29:57)Doobes: I don’t have an exact time-table for the Age’s completion, but I’m hoping to have it ready to go sometime this year for a release on Gehn Shard and Deep Island initially.

    (06/06 13:30:01)Emor D’ni Lap: Name That Age!

    (06/06 13:30:02)Boywhith: And not to forget… aggressive Bahro’s!

    (06/06 13:30:20)Doobes: I’ll also need to discuss the details with my more Python-literate friends too. This Age will require a weeee bit of coding. ๐Ÿ˜€

    (06/06 13:30:26)Doobes nods to Hoikas ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:30:36)Adam {Hoikas} gives a long-suffering sigh

    (06/06 13:30:39)Alien cowers in fear at aggresive Bahro … when you get the tablet, do not give it to me

    (06/06 13:30:49)Doobes: As for my other Ages, nothing too big on the horizon at the moment. I think my next release will be Kotsahvosahn, aka the Waystation. That will be the beginning of the journey of D’ni citizen and Messenger Lothias, so it will be more story-heavy than my previous Ages.

    (06/06 13:30:52)Korov’ev: sneezing bahro?

    (06/06 13:31:16)Doobes sneezes

    (06/06 13:31:19)Doobes: ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (06/06 13:31:23)Doobes: I’ve also begun a new project with my old friend AgeExplorer, which promises to also be quite story *and* puzzle-heavy! Since he’s doing the heavy lifting on the conceptual, I’ve been finding it easier to do just building on the project.

    (06/06 13:31:25)Korov’ev cowers

    (06/06 13:31:44)Doobes: Age is a professional filmmaker…so he’s also one heck of a storyteller. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (06/06 13:31:57)Doobes: In any case, that’s also still in the planning stages, so more on that at a later date.

    (06/06 13:32:07)Doobes: And that’s it from me today. Look for more substantial updates in the coming weeks.

    (06/06 13:32:17)Doobes: You can follow my work on Facebook at www.facebook.com/agesofdoobes or on my website, agesofdoobes.wordpress.com.

    (06/06 13:32:19)AdrianGreen: clap

    (06/06 13:32:21)bella1 claps

    (06/06 13:32:27)Doobes: Questions?

    (06/06 13:32:29)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Theo.

    (06/06 13:32:29)Korov’ev: [Theo] Will it be possible to save mazes, like saving pillar configurations in Jalak?

    (06/06 13:32:39)Zeke365 knows why he likes this game it because it like flimaking

    (06/06 13:32:54)Doobes: That’s actually a good idea I didn’t think about. I’ll consider it. Don’t want to give anyone too much of an edge. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:33:06)Doobes: Any other questions?

    (06/06 13:33:15)Korov’ev: none in queue.

    (06/06 13:33:24)Doobes: Then I take my leave. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:33:25)Doobes bows

    (06/06 13:33:26)Briggs: Exciting stuff!

    (06/06 13:33:36)Briggs: oh no I’ve been standing this whole time I’m sorry

    (06/06 13:33:38)Emor D’ni Lap applauds Doobes

    (06/06 13:33:42)Korov’ev: but it may be woth mentioning the Python 3 thing, now that it was mentioned

    (06/06 13:34:02)Doobes: All I know is the new client using it works. ๐Ÿ˜€

    (06/06 13:34:04)Korov’ev: thank you Doobes!

    (06/06 13:34:32)Korov’ev: currently the client uses Python 2.3, which is waaaaay old….

    (06/06 13:34:46)Adam {Hoikas}: released pre-2005

    (06/06 13:34:47)Doobes: Darn near ancient in tech terms. ๐Ÿ˜€

    (06/06 13:34:55)Korov’ev: so our haxxor friends are updating it to the latest

    (06/06 13:35:33)Korov’ev: bot developers will likely need to check their code, when it will arrive

    (06/06 13:35:53)Korov’ev: Now, speaking of fan Ages…

    (06/06 13:36:04)Korov’ev: the usual update on the Fan Age Touring Club, on Deep Island ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:36:04)Mirphak: It will be a hard job, but I accept it ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:36:17)bella1: Yay mir

    (06/06 13:36:24)Thumbs up from Korov’ev

    (06/06 13:36:32)Claidi Song thanks Mirphak

    (06/06 13:36:38)Korov’ev: Recently we visited most of the Geologica series, by Ametist & Metabasalt, starting in Dragon’s Tooth.

    (06/06 13:36:50)Korov’ev: Tomorrow we’ll link to the last Ages in the series, but also Tyndior by Trylon, and Botan by Ametist.

    (06/06 13:37:03)Korov’ev: In the following weeks, we’ll visit… Enobmort and Noidrocca by J’Kla, and Sonavio by Boblishman!

    (06/06 13:37:13)Korov’ev: The expeditions are at 11:00 KIT, in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with “/hood”).

    (06/06 13:37:26)Korov’ev: We often overlap with the start of Radio Free D’ni programs, so make sure to have the streaming ready!

    (06/06 13:37:37)Korov’ev: There’s also a (mute) stream: https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

    (06/06 13:37:37)Doobes: Tour and tunes!

    (06/06 13:37:58)Korov’ev: hmm, I might steal that slogan ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:38:05)Doobes: It’s all yours. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:38:08)Korov’ev: After the tour, at 14:00 KIT, it will be a good time for Door Runs on Minkata, Gehn or TOC, on rotation.

    (06/06 13:38:28)Korov’ev: And speaking of fan productions:

    (06/06 13:38:36)Korov’ev: Episode 10 of The Lost Art machinima, by Mystitech Productions, was released on Saturday 30!

    (06/06 13:38:43)Korov’ev: https://youtu.be/95gHxTeQLW8

    (06/06 13:39:55)Korov’ev: I’m receiving questions about the physics. At this point, you’ll get better answers by asking the techs ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (06/06 13:40:16)Korov’ev: Time for some quick Cyan news:

    (06/06 13:40:18)Doobes: OU Discord!

    (06/06 13:40:36)Korov’ev: or that, for longer questions

    (06/06 13:40:40)Adam {Hoikas}: I’ll hang around for a few minutes afterwards (though I need to refresh my toxic waste–uh coffee)

    (06/06 13:40:45)Korov’ev: realMyst: Masterpiece Edition has been released on Thursday 21 for the Nintendo Switch.

    (06/06 13:40:53)Korov’ev: After more than three months, a new update was posted in Thursday about Firmament.

    (06/06 13:40:58)Korov’ev: Among other news, it mentioned the need to improve on the gameplay and setting aspects of the game,

    (06/06 13:41:09)Korov’ev: and the official hiring of a member of the Starry Expanse team.

    (06/06 13:41:18)Alien is still waiting to play Firmament

    (06/06 13:41:28)Korov’ev: May ended with a CavFunding of 90% (Cavcon 1.9), a population of 35,052 explorers, and 1441 unique visits.

    (06/06 13:41:37)Korov’ev: The reserve covered 29% and is now empty. The server costs were the same as last month.

    (06/06 13:42:10)Korov’ev: Time for CavCon parties, hmm? ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:42:19)Doobes: I’m up for one. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:42:26)Korov’ev: Some quick news from Mysterium 2020:

    (06/06 13:42:31)Korov’ev: The convention will be held virtually, with a combination of Twitch and Zoom for presentations, and Discord for live chatting.

    (06/06 13:42:35)Zeke365: get a laggy party going down for the Cavcon

    (06/06 13:42:43)Korov’ev: The convention dates will be the same as planned, August 7-9, with a possible extended weekend.

    (06/06 13:42:54)Korov’ev: Refunds will be available, but roll-overs to next year’s in-person convention will too.

    (06/06 13:43:00)Korov’ev: Location bids have been opened for editions of the convention outside the official one.

    (06/06 13:43:13)Korov’ev: The bids will be handled a bit differently, and accepted year-round. For 2022, that means bids will be due by April 1, 2021.

    (06/06 13:43:22)Korov’ev: The deadline for event submissions has been extended to June 30, with the option to submit pre-recorded presentations.

    (06/06 13:43:24)Alien: April Fools Day

    (06/06 13:43:46)Korov’ev: totally unintentional. I think ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:44:00)Korov’ev: The deadline for the Digital Activity Book is also extended to June 30.

    (06/06 13:44:09)Korov’ev: The existing T-shirt design will be used for Mysterium 2021, with altered dates. A store page will be opened soon.

    (06/06 13:44:26)Zeke365 needs to get work on his projects to much youtube, facebook distractions

    (06/06 13:44:30)Korov’ev: the ‘slashed’ design you might have heard about

    (06/06 13:44:42)Korov’ev: The 2020 pin designs will also be rolled over into 2021.

    (06/06 13:44:59)Korov’ev: And now, the usual update from r’Tayrtahn, aka Shokhootahn Rehn!

    (06/06 13:45:10)AdrianGreen: clap

    (06/06 13:45:18)Emor D’ni Lap applauds Rehn

    (06/06 13:45:26)shokhootahn Rehn bows

    (06/06 13:45:48)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.

    (06/06 13:46:03)shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (06/06 13:46:21)shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.

    (06/06 13:46:58)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. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.

    (06/06 13:47:30)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (06/06 13:47:47)shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…

    (06/06 13:48:06)shokhootahn Rehn: Another student has started taking the classes and has just finished the 3rd lesson.

    (06/06 13:48:22)shokhootahn Rehn: Last time, I announced that there were three students taking the classes: one set to take lesson 4, one for lesson 6, and one working on thier final exam.

    (06/06 13:48:26)Doobes: AP D’ni. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:48:44)shokhootahn Rehn: The first two students are now both working on lesson 6.

    (06/06 13:49:20)shokhootahn Rehn: Many of you have met aqua. She was the one working on their final. I am pleased to announce that aqua has completed her final exam and passed the D’ni 101 class. Please giver her a round of applause!

    (06/06 13:49:35)Alien congrats Aqua

    (06/06 13:49:37)Emor D’ni Lap: Hooray Aqua!

    (06/06 13:50:13)AdrianGreen: clap

    (06/06 13:50:16)shokhootahn Rehn: Now, back to the mundane announcements…

    (06/06 13:50:24)shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes here and on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.

    (06/06 13:50:50)shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions? Typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:51:11)Korov’ev: heh

    (06/06 13:51:15)Korov’ev: none in queue

    (06/06 13:51:39)shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…

    (06/06 13:51:53)shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (06/06 13:52:13)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.

    (06/06 13:52:37)shokhootahn Rehn: We are continuing with the story arc of the D’ni kings. Today, and for the next four weeks we will hear the last of the stories of the kings, ending with King Kerath.

    (06/06 13:53:05)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (06/06 13:53:25)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.

    (06/06 13:53:42)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.

    (06/06 13:54:16)shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (06/06 13:54:34)shokhootahn Rehn: Due to the pandemic, I will not be traveling, much, for the foreseeable future. As a result, times for both Story Nights will be unaffected by 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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:55:23)shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (06/06 13:55:42)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.

    (06/06 13:56:27)shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!

    (06/06 13:56:49)Grandbad covers ears.

    (06/06 13:57:02)shokhootahn Rehn: (not shouting, just emphasizing)

    (06/06 13:57:09)Doobes: Capitalized for importance.

    (06/06 13:57:19)shokhootahn Rehn: Yr

    (06/06 13:57:19)Grandbad understands

    (06/06 13:57:22)shokhootahn Rehn: Yes

    (06/06 13:57:43)shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI number so they were unable to be added.

    (06/06 13:57:44)Korov’ev: it still happens?

    (06/06 13:58:08)Doobes: Think of your KI number like your phone number. If you don’t give it, they can’t respond.

    (06/06 13:58:38)Doobes: (er, think before cellphones or caller ID ๐Ÿ˜› )

    (06/06 13:58:38)shokhootahn Rehn: Not often Kor but it does happen from time to time

    (06/06 13:59:10)shokhootahn Rehn: Good analogt, Doobes!

    (06/06 13:59:21)CT Hostess Susa’n thought Ki mails show up in Recent

    (06/06 13:59:51)shokhootahn Rehn: Unfortunately no, Susa’n

    (06/06 13:59:59)CT Hostess Susa’n: ๐Ÿ™

    (06/06 14:00:03)shokhootahn Rehn: *analogy

    (06/06 14:00:19)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.

    (06/06 14:00:39)shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!

    (06/06 14:00:42)shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions? Aain, typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 14:00:48)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Doobes.

    (06/06 14:00:48)Korov’ev: [Doobes] Have you considered giving Gehn Shard a try for Story Night one of these nights? The voice chat was recently upgraded. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 14:01:41)Minasunda: yep the voice chat in Gehn Shard is exellent

    (06/06 14:01:57)CT Hostess Susa’n wishes voice chat would be upgraded here, too

    (06/06 14:02:23)Doobes: Eventually, Susa’n. Just need to push that and other fixes through Minkata first. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (06/06 14:02:26)shokhootahn Rehn: I hadn’t thought about it but I have taken teps to ue Gehn a an alternate venue should the need arise.

    (06/06 14:02:47)Doobes: I wouldn’t suggest a permanent change of venue…just a one-off really.

    (06/06 14:02:51)shokhootahn Rehn: *steps

    (06/06 14:04:56)shokhootahn Rehn: Any more questions?

    (06/06 14:05:05)Korov’ev: none in queue

    (06/06 13:06:15) CT Hostess Susa'n: And so you will need to open your Internet browser to partcipate in each tour.
    (06/06 13:06:32) CT Hostess Susa'n: RAWA's mother, Darlene, usually joins the tour via twitch.

    (06/06 13:09:02) Korov'ev: In light of recent events related to the latest client update, it would be helpful to clarify the open source developers' side.
    (06/06 13:09:12) Korov'ev: With that in mind, let's hear from the haxxors!

    (06/06 13:10:14) Korov'ev: a Writtor?
    (06/06 13:10:20) Doobes: ๐Ÿ˜›
    (06/06 13:10:27) Alien: A Wry Tour?
    (06/06 13:10:43) Sciviz: R!tr
    (06/06 13:10:49) Alien is quiet
    (06/06 13:11:05) Adam {Hoikas}: ok, so, uh maybe I wasn't quite prepared to speak, but Korov'ev said thou must speaketh
    (06/06 13:11:12) Adam {Hoikas}: so I will speaketh
    (06/06 13:11:16) Doobes bows to the will of the Korov'ev
    (06/06 13:11:25) Adam {Hoikas} would drop his notes if there were any
    (06/06 13:11:34) Briggs starts to laugh
    (06/06 13:11:53) Adam {Hoikas}: As you know, there was an update to MOULa in the last week or so that changed some components of the physics.
    (06/06 13:12:10) Emor D'ni Lap: badabum
    (06/06 13:12:26) Adam {Hoikas}: This was done in response to some issues we saw when getting Doobes' Age Chiso Preniv onto the Minkata testing server
    (06/06 13:12:37) Emor D'ni Lap: EEEEEEK!
    (06/06 13:12:41) Doobes cowers
    (06/06 13:12:52) Eternal Seeker: emor shut up please
    (06/06 13:13:08) Emor D'ni Lap applauds
    (06/06 13:13:32) Adam {Hoikas}: Recently, Korov'ev pointed out that there were some rumors that these updates had broken the "bots"
    (06/06 13:13:58) Adam {Hoikas}: I don't use them personally, but from what I can gather, certain skydiving jumps are more difficult now. Is that correct?
    (06/06 13:14:26) Boywhith: every skydiving jump is difficult for me…
    (06/06 13:14:29) Doobes: To be fair, that's not the fault of the bots themselves.
    (06/06 13:14:36) Adam {Hoikas} hopes he understands correctly
    (06/06 13:15:02) Doobes: Our goal is to clear up any misconceptions the community may have.
    (06/06 13:15:05) CT Hostess Susa'n: skydiving has been difficult since we lost the Skydiving client
    (06/06 13:15:20) Doobes: To be fair, it's not "lost"…just woefully out of date.
    (06/06 13:15:23) Adam {Hoikas}: that was before this most recent update though, correct?
    (06/06 13:15:30) CT Hostess Susa'n: yes
    (06/06 13:15:33) Adam {Hoikas}: ok
    (06/06 13:15:50) Adam {Hoikas}: like I say, I don't do much in terms of marker games and bot stuff
    (06/06 13:16:04) Doobes is terrible at such games ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:16:10) Adam {Hoikas}: but what I know for a fact is that none of the work we do is intended to break these things
    (06/06 13:16:28) Thumbs up from Minasunda
    (06/06 13:16:41) Doobes: The thing you guys need to remember with coding is that it's not perfect. One thing gets fixed and it breaks another.
    (06/06 13:16:42) Adam {Hoikas}: all of the work on the game happens in the clear. The main new feature/fix development happens on the GoW IRC and on GitHub
    (06/06 13:17:06) Adam {Hoikas}: The process of updating the MOULa client's physics happened on the OpenURU discord.
    (06/06 13:17:15) Adam {Hoikas}: I am sure Korov'ev will be glad to provide links ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:17:39) Adam {Hoikas}: During that time, we did not receive any input from the SkyDiving community that I am aware of
    (06/06 13:17:50) Doobes: I highly encourage you guys to join the OU discord as it's a nice window into what is going on as well as the best place to find out if there's changes brewing.
    (06/06 13:18:01) Adam {Hoikas}: The changes to the physics that came last week have been available on Gehn Shard for the last 6 years.
    (06/06 13:18:29) Adam {Hoikas}: So, I was a little shocked to discover that something had broken to the point that we had someone threatening to shut down his bots and leave.
    (06/06 13:18:54) CT Hostess Susa'n: (not MIrphak)
    (06/06 13:19:16) Adam {Hoikas}: In other words, if you are creating content for the game, we need for you to be an active participant in at least the discussion on how development moves forward.
    (06/06 13:19:26) Sleeper Jan: threatening is a bit too much to say, maybe
    (06/06 13:19:29) Adam {Hoikas}: I regularly read the OU discord.
    (06/06 13:19:57) Doobes: We do not want to disregard the Skydiver community outright. It's why Lyrositor originally created their special client in the first place.
    (06/06 13:19:59) Adam {Hoikas}: Not the Cyan discord though, due to personal issues with the moderation staff. Maybe I will try again now that ownership has changed hands ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:20:07) Zeke365 reads ou discord
    (06/06 13:20:14) Adam {Hoikas}: Anyway, that's all I can think of – Korov'ev did we miss anything?
    (06/06 13:20:29) Adam {Hoikas} <3 tab name completion
    (06/06 13:20:38) Korov'ev: I think so. any questions?
    (06/06 13:20:44) Doobes: The key thing to remember here is that we don't work in a vacuum. Our programmer friends DO listen. I can personally vouch for that.
    (06/06 13:20:54) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Sciviz.
    (06/06 13:20:54) Korov'ev: [Sciviz] What is the GOW IRC channel? is it on freenode?
    (06/06 13:20:56) Thumbs up from CT Hostess Susa'n
    (06/06 13:21:10) Adam {Hoikas}: We're on irc.guildofwriters.org channel #writers
    (06/06 13:21:22) Adam {Hoikas}: next?
    (06/06 13:21:43) Korov'ev claps his hands
    (06/06 13:21:43) Korov'ev: thank you, guys!
    (06/06 13:21:45) Mabe: there's only one thing to say… thank you very much for the work, for every improvement, for the effort and time, thank you !!

    (06/06 13:22:10) Korov'ev: a quick one:
    (06/06 13:22:14) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Alien.
    (06/06 13:22:14) Korov'ev: [Alien] Is PhysX affected? IIs this anything to do with PhysX? I haven't had to update PhysX but I know someone who had to
    (06/06 13:22:16) AdrianGreen: clap
    (06/06 13:22:26) Emor D'ni Lap thanks the H'uru guys for their vast investment of time over the years
    (06/06 13:22:30) Korov'ev: Doobes, wait ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:22:33) Doobes looks to Hoikas
    (06/06 13:22:57) Adam {Hoikas}: Uru is in a bad situation with PhysX. MOUL was using version 2.6.0, which is so old that the NVIDIA graphics driver will sometimes uninstall it.
    (06/06 13:23:01) Doobes: A good slogan: "Don't get mad…get talking!"
    (06/06 13:23:24) CT Hostess Susa'n had to install latest PhysX with update #159
    (06/06 13:23:26) Adam {Hoikas}: We are now at 2.6.4, which is still entirely too old. The most recent version (4.0? 4.1?) doesn't even have to be installed.
    (06/06 13:23:41) Adam {Hoikas}: 5.0 is supposed to come out sometime this year
    (06/06 13:23:54) Alien thanks Adam
    (06/06 13:23:57) Adam {Hoikas}: YW
    (06/06 13:23:57) Korov'ev: On the fan Ages front…
    (06/06 13:24:10) Korov'ev: Let's welcome Doobes, again! ๐Ÿ™‚

    (06/06 13:24:45) Doobes: I hope you're all doing well despite all that's going on on the surface world.
    (06/06 13:24:57) Doobes: Even living with drama both global and personal, I'm still hard at work on content for this very game you're playing.
    (06/06 13:25:08) Doobes: I've continued to work with rarified and OpenURU to get my three released Ages ready for Minkata prime, where the heavy testing will begin.
    (06/06 13:25:10) Thumbs up from CT Hostess Susa'n
    (06/06 13:25:13) Grandbad cheers
    (06/06 13:25:13) Doobes nods to rarified
    (06/06 13:25:25) Zeke365 cheers
    (06/06 13:25:29) rarified knods back.
    (06/06 13:25:32) Doobes: After that, once Cyan is ready to go, we take things to the staging server for some quick checks and testing…
    (06/06 13:25:43) Doobes: …then you'll see some big changes here for the first time in nearly 12 years!
    (06/06 13:25:53) MindWalker cheers
    (06/06 13:25:55) Alien cheers
    (06/06 13:25:59) Doobes: After a bit of a break from Age building after the big Age releases a couple of months ago (aside from a small but deeply personal addition to Veelay Tsahvahn on Gehn Shard), I'm ready to get back to work.
    (06/06 13:26:00) Boywhith: wow!
    (06/06 13:26:03) Minasunda cheers
    (06/06 13:26:09) Grandbad cheers again.
    (06/06 13:26:20) Doobes: In fact…I've been developing a brand new Age that promises to be quite exciting…if I can pull it off. ๐Ÿ˜›
    (06/06 13:26:32) Doobes: So pretty much all of us know about the Gahreesen wall, right? Or at least what it should be doing were it not in need of some serious clean up in the code.
    (06/06 13:26:47) bella1 is all ears
    (06/06 13:26:49) Doobes: Well, I've begun to create a brand new Age that takes that concept to a new place!
    (06/06 13:26:50) Grandbad nods his head
    (06/06 13:26:54) Alien rubs her nose
    (06/06 13:27:01) Doobes: So yes, for the first time, I'll be creating a game Age.
    (06/06 13:27:14) Doobes: Instead of a wall, however, it will be a circular maze that can be changed and run by one to four players or teams. No more climbing and possibly falling…at least in its current iteration.
    (06/06 13:27:30) Doobes: Much like the wall, each person/team will get a set number of barriers to activate within the maze to try and trip up the other players.
    (06/06 13:27:44) TikiBear is intrigued
    (06/06 13:27:44) Doobes: This means the maze will potentially be different each time; no memorizing the route. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (06/06 13:27:57) Grandbad laughs
    (06/06 13:28:00) Doobes: The blockers can be placed anywhere within the entire maze. You can either set these manually or choose to randomize them. The latter will be helpful for single players wanting a challenge.
    (06/06 13:28:02) Claidi Song: Like doors runs, then?
    (06/06 13:28:26) Doobes: Once the maze is set, players will get to run the maze until they reach the center. There, they will signal (in some way TBD) that they've reached the goal and that player/team will win.
    (06/06 13:28:34) Doobes: In a way, Cladi, although more competitive.
    (06/06 13:28:44) Claidi Song nods her head
    (06/06 13:28:50) Doobes: Unlike the wall, you will have a chance to remove those aforementioned blockers and possibly give yourself an edge. There will be a control panel beside each blocker.
    (06/06 13:29:05) Doobes: It will be a one-in-four chance, and you only get one shot, so it's up to the player if they want to take a moment to try and lower the blocker (which may not even offer an advantage) or leave it and continue on.
    (06/06 13:29:20) bella1: Oooooooooh
    (06/06 13:29:23) Doobes: A timer, counting up or down, can also be chosen for an extra challenge.
    (06/06 13:29:29) Adam {Hoikas}: spoilers!
    (06/06 13:29:34) Alien is intrigued
    (06/06 13:29:40) Doobes: Again, this is mostly in the planning and building stages so far, and some details need to be ironed out, but I'm hoping this will encourage friendly (or maybe even fierce) competition amongst ourselves…and provide a new bit of fun.
    (06/06 13:29:52) Adam {Hoikas}: I can already see uses for py3 ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (06/06 13:29:57) Doobes: I don't have an exact time-table for the Age's completion, but I'm hoping to have it ready to go sometime this year for a release on Gehn Shard and Deep Island initially.
    (06/06 13:30:01) Emor D'ni Lap: Name That Age!
    (06/06 13:30:02) Boywhith: And not to forget… aggressive Bahro's!
    (06/06 13:30:20) Doobes: I'll also need to discuss the details with my more Python-literate friends too. This Age will require a weeee bit of coding. ๐Ÿ˜€
    (06/06 13:30:26) Doobes nods to Hoikas ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:30:36) Adam {Hoikas} gives a long-suffering sigh
    (06/06 13:30:39) Alien cowers in fear at aggresive Bahro … when you get the tablet, do not give it to me
    (06/06 13:30:49) Doobes: As for my other Ages, nothing too big on the horizon at the moment. I think my next release will be Kotsahvosahn, aka the Waystation. That will be the beginning of the journey of D'ni citizen and Messenger Lothias, so it will be more story-heavy than my previous Ages.
    (06/06 13:30:52) Korov'ev: sneezing bahro?
    (06/06 13:31:16) Doobes sneezes
    (06/06 13:31:19) Doobes: ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (06/06 13:31:23) Doobes: I've also begun a new project with my old friend AgeExplorer, which promises to also be quite story *and* puzzle-heavy! Since he's doing the heavy lifting on the conceptual, I've been finding it easier to do just building on the project.
    (06/06 13:31:25) Korov'ev cowers
    (06/06 13:31:44) Doobes: Age is a professional filmmaker…so he's also one heck of a storyteller. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (06/06 13:31:57) Doobes: In any case, that's also still in the planning stages, so more on that at a later date.
    (06/06 13:32:07) Doobes: And that's it from me today. Look for more substantial updates in the coming weeks.

    (06/06 13:40:45) Korov'ev: realMyst: Masterpiece Edition has been released on Thursday 21 for the Nintendo Switch.
    (06/06 13:40:53) Korov'ev: After more than three months, a new update was posted in Thursday about Firmament.

    (06/06 13:41:09) Korov'ev: and the official hiring of a member of the Starry Expanse team.

    (06/06 13:41:28) Korov'ev: May ended with a CavFunding of 90% (Cavcon 1.9), a population of 35,052 explorers, and 1441 unique visits.

    (06/06 13:42:19) Doobes: I'm up for one. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:42:26) Korov'ev: Some quick news from Mysterium 2020:
    (06/06 13:42:31) Korov'ev: The convention will be held virtually, with a combination of Twitch and Zoom for presentations, and Discord for live chatting.
    (06/06 13:42:35) Zeke365: get a laggy party going down for the Cavcon
    (06/06 13:42:43) Korov'ev: The convention dates will be the same as planned, August 7-9, with a possible extended weekend.
    (06/06 13:42:54) Korov'ev: Refunds will be available, but roll-overs to next year's in-person convention will too.
    (06/06 13:43:00) Korov'ev: Location bids have been opened for editions of the convention outside the official one.
    (06/06 13:43:13) Korov'ev: The bids will be handled a bit differently, and accepted year-round. For 2022, that means bids will be due by April 1, 2021.
    (06/06 13:43:22) Korov'ev: The deadline for event submissions has been extended to June 30, with the option to submit pre-recorded presentations.
    (06/06 13:43:24) Alien: April Fools Day
    (06/06 13:43:46) Korov'ev: totally unintentional. I think ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:44:00) Korov'ev: The deadline for the Digital Activity Book is also extended to June 30.

    (06/06 13:44:26) Zeke365 needs to get work on his projects to much youtube, facebook distractions
    (06/06 13:44:30) Korov'ev: the 'slashed' design you might have heard about
    (06/06 13:44:42) Korov'ev: The 2020 pin designs will also be rolled over into 2021.
    (06/06 13:44:59) Korov'ev: And now, the usual update from r'Tayrtahn, aka Shokhootahn Rehn!

    (06/06 13:46:03) shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…
    (06/06 13:46:21) shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.
    (06/06 13:46:58) 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. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.
    (06/06 13:47:30) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.
    (06/06 13:47:47) shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…
    (06/06 13:48:06) shokhootahn Rehn: Another student has started taking the classes and has just finished the 3rd lesson.
    (06/06 13:48:22) shokhootahn Rehn: Last time, I announced that there were three students taking the classes: one set to take lesson 4, one for lesson 6, and one working on thier final exam.
    (06/06 13:48:26) Doobes: AP D'ni. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:48:44) shokhootahn Rehn: The first two students are now both working on lesson 6.
    (06/06 13:49:20) shokhootahn Rehn: Many of you have met aqua. She was the one working on their final. I am pleased to announce that aqua has completed her final exam and passed the D'ni 101 class. Please giver her a round of applause!

    (06/06 13:50:50) shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions? Typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:51:11) Korov'ev: heh
    (06/06 13:51:15) Korov'ev: none in queue
    (06/06 13:51:39) shokhootahn Rehn: Moving on…
    (06/06 13:51:53) shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r'Taytahn's Story Night.
    (06/06 13:52:13) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.
    (06/06 13:52:37) shokhootahn Rehn: We are continuing with the story arc of the D'ni kings. Today, and for the next four weeks we will hear the last of the stories of the kings, ending with King Kerath.
    (06/06 13:53:05) shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno's Hood every Saturday.
    (06/06 13:53:25) 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.
    (06/06 13:53:42) 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.
    (06/06 13:54:16) shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.
    (06/06 13:54:34) shokhootahn Rehn: Due to the pandemic, I will not be traveling, much, for the foreseeable future. As a result, times for both Story Nights will be unaffected by 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. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 13:55:23) shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.
    (06/06 13:55:42) 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.
    (06/06 13:56:27) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!
    (06/06 13:56:49) Grandbad covers ears.
    (06/06 13:57:02) shokhootahn Rehn: (not shouting, just emphasizing)
    (06/06 13:57:09) Doobes: Capitalized for importance.
    (06/06 13:57:19) shokhootahn Rehn: Yr
    (06/06 13:57:19) Grandbad understands
    (06/06 13:57:22) shokhootahn Rehn: Yes
    (06/06 13:57:43) shokhootahn Rehn: Some have sent messages to be added but have not included their KI number so they were unable to be added.
    (06/06 13:57:44) Korov'ev: it still happens?
    (06/06 13:58:08) Doobes: Think of your KI number like your phone number. If you don't give it, they can't respond.
    (06/06 13:58:38) Doobes: (er, think before cellphones or caller ID ๐Ÿ˜› )
    (06/06 13:58:38) shokhootahn Rehn: Not often Kor but it does happen from time to time
    (06/06 13:59:10) shokhootahn Rehn: Good analogt, Doobes!
    (06/06 13:59:21) CT Hostess Susa'n thought Ki mails show up in Recent
    (06/06 13:59:51) shokhootahn Rehn: Unfortunately no, Susa'n
    (06/06 13:59:59) CT Hostess Susa'n: ๐Ÿ™
    (06/06 14:00:03) shokhootahn Rehn: *analogy
    (06/06 14:00:19) 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.
    (06/06 14:00:39) shokhootahn Rehn: We hope to see you there!
    (06/06 14:00:42) shokhootahn Rehn: Any questions? Aain, typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 14:00:48) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Doobes.
    (06/06 14:00:48) Korov'ev: [Doobes] Have you considered giving Gehn Shard a try for Story Night one of these nights? The voice chat was recently upgraded. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (06/06 14:01:41) Minasunda: yep the voice chat in Gehn Shard is exellent
    (06/06 14:01:57) CT Hostess Susa'n wishes voice chat would be upgraded here, too
    (06/06 14:02:23) Doobes: Eventually, Susa'n. Just need to push that and other fixes through Minkata first. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (06/06 14:02:26) shokhootahn Rehn: I hadn't thought about it but I have taken teps to ue Gehn a an alternate venue should the need arise.
    (06/06 14:02:47) Doobes: I wouldn't suggest a permanent change of venue…just a one-off really.
    (06/06 14:02:51) shokhootahn Rehn: *steps
    (06/06 14:03:42) Korov'ev: the story of the Fall, in Fehnir
    (06/06 14:03:43) Korov'ev: 1
    (06/06 14:04:16) shokhootahn Rehn: I might do a special night in a certain memorial Age…. date to be determined.
    (06/06 14:04:31) Doobes: ๐Ÿ˜€
    (06/06 14:04:36) Korov'ev cheers

  • All Guilds Meeting – May 2020 – Cleansed Chatlog

    (05/02 13:01:01)Korov’ev: Shorah, and welcome to the 121st All Guilds Meeting!

    (05/02 13:01:09)Korov’ev: In the D’ni calendar today is Leefo 10, 9676, and the time is 14:02:08:13

    (05/02 13:01:16)TikiBear: Huzzah!

    (05/02 13:01:30)Korov’ev: If there’s anyone new: welcome to the Cavern! You picked the best time to visit ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:01:40)Korov’ev: As usual, I’ll remind you the 5 Meeting Rules:

    (05/02 13:01:46)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.

    (05/02 13:01:53)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.

    (05/02 13:02:12)Korov’ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you’re ready for the next question.

    (05/02 13:02:30)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.

    (05/02 13:02:46)Korov'ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

    (05/02 13:02:56)Korov’ev: Of course, you can start your own chatlog with “/startlog”.

    (05/02 13:03:25)Korov’ev: Let’s start with a music event:

    (05/02 13:03:32)Korov’ev: at 13:00 KIT, in Ae’gura Plaza, Nosila will play “Music of Mr Jones”;

    (05/02 13:03:40)Korov’ev: the stream will be as always at http://mosilaradio.caster.fm

    (05/02 13:04:04)Korov’ev: Of course, next week there will also be… a Cavern Tour!

    (05/02 13:04:11)Korov’ev: Let’s hear the details from Susa’n!

    (05/02 13:04:24)Jaytee claps

    (05/02 13:04:39)CT Hostess Susa’n: “Cavern Tours” are a series of walking tours that cover every Age in MOULa.

    (05/02 13:04:54)CT Hostess Susa’n: Each tour is held the second Saturday of each month from 11:00 to 13:00 KI time.

    (05/02 13:05:05)CT Hostess Susa’n: Our next tour will be Saturday, May 9 – that’s next week!

    (05/02 13:05:22)CT Hostess Susa’n: Please meet us in Cavern Tour’s Hood for a brief orientation at 11:00 KI time.

    (05/02 13:05:46)CT Hostess Susa’n: Unfortunately, the Hood is still borked and does not appear in Public Links in the Nexus.

    (05/02 13:06:03)CT Hostess Susa’n: If you PM me after this speech I will send an invitation to the Hood.

    (05/02 13:06:35)CT Hostess Susa’n: Our host, Larry LeDeay, uses his twitch account, twitch.tv/LWF58, to broadcast our voices and to livestream the tour.

    (05/02 13:06:49)CT Hostess Susa’n: A video of each tour remains on the account for two weeks.

    (05/02 13:07:07)CT Hostess Susa’n: And so you will need to open your Internet browser for each tour.

    (05/02 13:07:25)CT Hostess Susa’n: Larry will show some photos on twitch you may have never seen …

    (05/02 13:07:50)CT Hostess Susa’n: and Mirphak will take us to locations in the Age you may have never seen.

    (05/02 13:08:01)CT Hostess Susa’n: You won’t want to miss next week’s tour!!!

    (05/02 13:08:07)CT Hostess Susa’n: Any questions?

    (05/02 13:08:12)CT Hostess Susa’n is checking something out

    (05/02 13:08:19)Korov’ev: none in queue. any?

    (05/02 13:08:32)CT Hostess Susa’n thanks you very much!

    (05/02 13:08:34)Korov’ev: Thank you Susa’n!

    (05/02 13:08:45)Jaytee claps hands

    (05/02 13:09:04)Korov’ev: And now, an update from OpenUru, from Rarified!

    (05/02 13:09:09)Lari’el: Ooh.

    (05/02 13:09:17)JamieM(2.0) is excisted

    (05/02 13:09:24)rarified waves hello

    (05/02 13:09:28)JamieM(2.0) waves hello

    (05/02 13:09:29)rarified: Shorah!

    (05/02 13:09:38)Claidi Song waves hello

    (05/02 13:09:41)rarified: It’s great to see a crowd again.

    (05/02 13:09:57)SandDoone waves hello

    (05/02 13:09:59)Lari’el: Sure is ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:10:04)rarified: It has been a busy month. I don’t even remember where I left off last AGM

    (05/02 13:10:08)JamieM(2.0): Thinking the same thing

    (05/02 13:10:22)rarified: so forgive me if I retype something I said earlier.

    (05/02 13:10:47)rarified: I had been buried in working to archive all of our source code from

    (05/02 13:11:07)rarified: our public repositories on BitBucket, as they were discontinuing support

    (05/02 13:11:25)rarified: for our “flavor” of source management. What is worse is that they were (are)

    (05/02 13:11:44)rarified: planning to delete all of their copies of repositories at the end of this month.

    (05/02 13:11:57)Lari’el: Ugh! ๐Ÿ™

    (05/02 13:12:00)rarified: So I had to scramble to program a way to save the data.

    (05/02 13:12:16)rarified: I finished that, and have secure copies of that information. I haven’t yet

    (05/02 13:12:18)JamieM(2.0): (I’m very sorry to hear that)

    (05/02 13:12:30)Lari’el wonders if it was Subversion

    (05/02 13:12:34)rarified: promoted that to new repositories in the format they will be “supporting”

    (05/02 13:12:43)Christian Walther: no, Mercurial

    (05/02 13:12:54)JamieM(2.0): (For now)

    (05/02 13:12:54)Lari’el: ah :/

    (05/02 13:12:58)rarified: from now on. But I do have public copies of those repositories available on

    (05/02 13:13:18)rarified: the OpenUru Foundry server, so life can go on, albiet a little awkward for now.

    (05/02 13:13:29)rarified: But now fot the big step…

    (05/02 13:13:50)rarified: After finishing that, I was able to go back to getting fan ages to be able to

    (05/02 13:14:01)rarified: be loaded into the Minkata alpha shard for testing.

    (05/02 13:14:15)JamieM(2.0): Neato!

    (05/02 13:14:20)Doobes: ๐Ÿ˜€

    (05/02 13:14:25)Lari’el: Good news indeed ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:14:27)rarified: We had a fair bit of work to do, since the (dreaded) PhysX physics engine had

    (05/02 13:14:47)rarified: to be updated to a newer version. That change meant that old Cyan code

    (05/02 13:15:09)rarified: that tried to “fix” errors in the previous version now “broke” the client.

    (05/02 13:15:28)CT Hostess Susa’n: yikes!

    (05/02 13:15:30)rarified: I was able (with help from Adam) to pick out a number of fixes that had been

    (05/02 13:15:49)rarified: waiting for a time to be added to the MOULa client, and integrate them

    (05/02 13:16:09)rarified: into the Minkata shard client. With that done WE NOW HAVE FAN AGES ON MINKATA ALPHA!@

    (05/02 13:16:22)rarified: (Currently three from Doobes)

    (05/02 13:16:28)JamieM(2.0): Wait! NOW! Like NOW NOW

    (05/02 13:16:31)axenna flails

    (05/02 13:16:43)JamieM(2.0): Thank you OpenURU team, I will check that out after this

    (05/02 13:16:48)Doobes: Chiso Preniv, the PUB, and Veelay Tsahvahn…all working (almost) perfectly. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:16:49)rarified: We have had a number of enthusiastic age testers on alpha and as far as Doobes

    (05/02 13:16:55)EthanEver whistles

    (05/02 13:16:59)rarified: tells me the ages are ready for wider exposure.

    (05/02 13:17:23)rarified: I have one more server change to make in order to make the “library” age public so

    (05/02 13:17:23)Doobes: Any fixes so far need to be done on my end…but yeah, go nuts. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:17:28)Lari’el: That’s great news!

    (05/02 13:17:40)rarified: it is shared globally like Kirel — everyone goes to the same library.

    (05/02 13:17:53)JamieM(2.0): Oh that’s neat

    (05/02 13:17:54)Doobes: Much like how it is in Gehn Shard at the moment.

    (05/02 13:18:04)JamieM(2.0): Just going to ask that.

    (05/02 13:18:06)JamieM(2.0): Neato!

    (05/02 13:18:07)rarified: In the mean time the updated client has been available on Minkata for most of April.

    (05/02 13:18:27)rarified: We’ve had a few regressions noted from our testers, the biggest is that you

    (05/02 13:18:37)rarified: will trip over the bottom of stairs when you try to go up.

    (05/02 13:18:52)Jaytee: stub your toes

    (05/02 13:19:06)rarified: I have been holding off installing Doobes’ ages on Minkata as I wanted to find a fix

    (05/02 13:19:08)Adam {Hoikas}: this is generally due to improper collision models by Cyan.

    (05/02 13:19:32)rarified: for that physics issue (if I can), but I’m also thinking once I get the procedure

    (05/02 13:19:50)rarified: designed for adding a new global age, I’ll go ahead and add the ages to the

    (05/02 13:19:59)rarified: Minkata prime shard.

    (05/02 13:20:10)Doobes: That and the Ages need a few adjustments and updates. I had a few things modified for a DI release that snuck their way in. ๐Ÿ˜›

    (05/02 13:20:30)rarified: I don’t want to push the new client (which is needed for the fan ages) to MOULa until I’ve

    (05/02 13:20:55)rarified: either found a fix for the toes, or discussed it with Chogon since it is a small step backward

    (05/02 13:21:08)rarified: that new explorers may find uncomfortable.

    (05/02 13:21:12)rarified: ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (05/02 13:21:14)JamieM(2.0): LOL

    (05/02 13:21:36)rarified: In the mean time, I’m also doing a major upgrade to our automated build system for

    (05/02 13:21:52)rarified: compiling the clients for Minkata and MOULa. Moving to a newer version of

    (05/02 13:22:13)rarified: the Microsoft compilers (that still can be used on current Windows for debugging),

    (05/02 13:22:37)rarified: as well as bringing the automated configuration into the current century.

    (05/02 13:22:55)rarified: (It hasn’t been changed since OpenUru first opened Minkata back in 2011.)

    (05/02 13:23:05)Lari’el: Interesting.

    (05/02 13:23:21)rarified: With the new PhysX, the fan ages, the new build system, and whatever else I can

    (05/02 13:23:37)rarified: stuff into the package, the new MOULa client should run much more smoothly on

    (05/02 13:23:58)rarified: Windows 10. And yes, this time (I checked, testers checked, everyone checked) the

    (05/02 13:24:16)rarified: Windows 10 mouse fix is finally in the client destined for MOULa!@

    (05/02 13:24:30)axenna: YES!

    (05/02 13:24:35)AnoraLD: Fantastic!

    (05/02 13:24:42)EthanEver is excited

    (05/02 13:24:45)Jaytee: works good too

    (05/02 13:24:45)Boywhith: Wow!

    (05/02 13:24:51)Briggs thanks you very much!

    (05/02 13:24:52)Telrov: Thats a huge step forward.

    (05/02 13:24:55)rarified: So, it’s been a busy month with nothing else I can be doing outside of house arrest.

    (05/02 13:25:11)rarified: And that’s where I am, and I’m sticking to it. Questions?

    (05/02 13:25:20)Korov’ev: oh yes…

    (05/02 13:25:26)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Lutra.

    (05/02 13:25:26)Korov’ev: [Lutra] Question for rarified: How much work would it be to move away from PhysX to Bullet or something?

    (05/02 13:25:37)Karel leans left

    (05/02 13:25:39)Doobes: Lots? ๐Ÿ˜€

    (05/02 13:25:51)skuavi II: (leanright

    (05/02 13:25:53)rarified: A tremendous amount of work. Adam can go into the details, but the Cyan engine “Plasma” was

    (05/02 13:25:55)skuavi II leans right

    (05/02 13:25:59)Korov’ev: more than updating PhysX, I’d guess ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:26:05)rarified: built assuming the PhysX interface.

    (05/02 13:26:18)Lutra: ok.

    (05/02 13:26:19)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Theo.

    (05/02 13:26:19)Korov’ev: [Theo] These files from BitBucket, how big are they? How many of them should we copy from your servers for safekeeping?

    (05/02 13:26:26)Lutra: thx.

    (05/02 13:26:57)rarified: The repositories themselves have always been safely kept on the OpenUru foundry (which I run).

    (05/02 13:27:17)Korov’ev: Our next question is from JamieM(2.0).

    (05/02 13:27:17)Korov’ev: [JamieM(2.0)] I am sure all of us are eager to know if you have a timeline for when the new ages will be hear in MOULa?

    (05/02 13:27:18)rarified: And are public for anyone to clone (at https://foundry.openuru.org/gitblit/).

    (05/02 13:27:37)skuavi II: see you all have fun

    (05/02 13:27:40)skuavi II bows

    (05/02 13:27:41)rarified: But Metadata (like comments, pull requests, commit data) were never in the repository

    (05/02 13:27:51)rarified: And are not currently publicly posted.

    (05/02 13:27:52)JamieM(2.0): See yeah Skuavi

    (05/02 13:27:59)rarified: I do have good backups though ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (05/02 13:28:13)Korov’ev: [JamieM(2.0)] I am sure all of us are eager to know if you have a timeline for when the new ages will be hear in MOULa?

    (05/02 13:28:27)rarified: @JamieM I can’t speak for a timeline, because in part it depends on Cyan/Chogon.

    (05/02 13:28:36)JamieM(2.0): Fair enough

    (05/02 13:28:46)J’Kla: Cyan Sooon

    (05/02 13:28:51)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Christian Walther.

    (05/02 13:28:51)Korov’ev: [Christian Walther] Question maybe more for Adam than rarified: What (if anything) did H-uru/Gehn do about the stuck-on-stairs problem? I seem to remember we had encountered that before.

    (05/02 13:28:53)rarified: He will have to do some server work as well because his server is different from Minkata’s MOSS

    (05/02 13:28:57)JamieM(2.0): LOL just going to say taht

    (05/02 13:28:58)rarified: or Gehn’s DirtSand.

    (05/02 13:29:41)rarified: @CW I haven’t picked Adam’s brain since the stair problem was logged.

    (05/02 13:29:54)rarified: Perhaps we’ll get some time to discuss it in the next week or two.

    (05/02 13:30:09)Adam {Hoikas}: I wonder if it is framerate dependent somehow. I do remember visualizing the collisions and seeing they were built wrong…

    (05/02 13:30:20)Adam {Hoikas}: I’ll post some thoughts in OU discord later.

    (05/02 13:30:30)rarified: Good — thanks!

    (05/02 13:30:44)Korov’ev: Our next question is from CT Hostess Susa’n.

    (05/02 13:30:44)Korov’ev: [CT Hostess Susa’n] When you add the fan ages to MOULa, where will the Nexus terminal be located?

    (05/02 13:31:17)Doobes: Right now, there’s more of a makeshift path that won’t include a fan Nexus or terminal yet.

    (05/02 13:31:26)rarified: Right now, the link to the library age (ChisoPreniv) is available in one of the Pubs.

    (05/02 13:31:31)Doobes: Or at least one I’ve proposed. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (05/02 13:31:42)CT Hostess Susa’n thanks you very much!

    (05/02 13:31:57)rarified: I think there will be a little back and forth (and maybe Cyan input) before that is set in stone.

    (05/02 13:32:03)Korov’ev: also, CP is meant as an alternative to the Nexus for fan Ages.

    (05/02 13:32:03)rarified: (so to speak)

    (05/02 13:32:22)Doobes: Indeed. Any path will require at least a minor mod to one of their Ages.

    (05/02 13:32:41)Doobes: Which is easier now given they’ve let us do exactly that.

    (05/02 13:32:47)rarified: Any more questions, Kor?

    (05/02 13:32:48)Korov’ev: So that’s basically the only one that will need a place for the book.

    (05/02 13:32:56)Korov’ev: none in queue

    (05/02 13:33:08)Korov’ev: A remainder:

    (05/02 13:33:18)Korov’ev: To install Minkata, check /clap Thank you Rarified!

    (05/02 13:33:19)rarified: Ok. Thanks for your time, and I’ll look for you on Minkata.

    (05/02 13:33:22)Korov’ev: oops

    (05/02 13:33:31)Korov’ev: ahhh

    (05/02 13:33:36)Korov’ev: I meant http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=669

    (05/02 13:33:51)JamieM(2.0): Click “Clap” LOL

    (05/02 13:34:01)Doobes hands his claps

    (05/02 13:34:02)EthanEver claps his head

    (05/02 13:34:15)Korov’ev: Our next question is from Wyrm.

    (05/02 13:34:15)Korov’ev: [Wyrm] ?Any chance for a MOUL Moble – Android/IOS?

    (05/02 13:34:24)Korov’ev: I’d guess “none” ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:34:31)Doobes: THat’d probably be up to Cyan.

    (05/02 13:34:35)rarified: Ummmm, let me see if QEMU works on Android.

    (05/02 13:34:48)JamieM(2.0): That would be a lot of work?

    (05/02 13:34:58)Doobes: I imagine so.

    (05/02 13:35:01)Emor D’ni Lap: sure, the smaller the screen, the better :p

    (05/02 13:35:08)JamieM(2.0): Although I have heard some people have expermented with Wine for x86 Andirod but not really get anywhre afaik

    (05/02 13:35:12)Doobes: URU on the go!

    (05/02 13:35:17)rarified: Yeah, try door runs on phones.

    (05/02 13:35:25)JamieM(2.0): URU to go! That would be neato!

    (05/02 13:35:25)etelka: Lol

    (05/02 13:35:29)Korov’ev: Reading the journals could be a bit difficult…

    (05/02 13:35:31)Emor D’ni Lap: ugh

    (05/02 13:35:33)CT Hostess Susa’n: lol @ rarified

    (05/02 13:35:34)JamieM(2.0): LOL MOULa at work!

    (05/02 13:35:59)axenna: kadish would be a nightmare…

    (05/02 13:36:09)JamieM(2.0): LOL yeah it would

    (05/02 13:36:19)rarified: The better option would be to have a remote screen from you PC on the phone.

    (05/02 13:36:35)JamieM(2.0): Kadish would STILL be a nightmare

    (05/02 13:36:36)Korov’ev: Yes, Myst and Riven are on mobile

    (05/02 13:36:43)Doobes shuts up so Kor can continue ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:36:53)axenna: kadish is a nightmare under the best circumstances

    (05/02 13:36:59)CT Hostess Susa’n laughs

    (05/02 13:37:15)Korov’ev: but they use a different framework

    (05/02 13:37:16)JamieM(2.0): They probally tweeked thing to make it work and it was 640×480 when Myst first came out

    (05/02 13:37:22)Korov’ev: anyway!

    (05/02 13:37:23)JamieM(2.0): Axenna, I agree LOL

    (05/02 13:37:27)Korov’ev: Speaking of fan Ages…

    (05/02 13:37:33)Emor D’ni Lap: let’s just turn URU into a 2D platformer

    (05/02 13:37:36)Korov’ev: A little update about the Fan Age Touring Club, on Deep Island.

    (05/02 13:37:42)JamieM(2.0): LOL EDL

    (05/02 13:37:45)Korov’ev: Recntly we visited Nadnerb’s and Whilyam’s gorgeous Ages.

    (05/02 13:37:55)Korov’ev: Tomorrow we’ll be visiting entries from the Rapid Age Development and Detailed Age Writing contests;

    (05/02 13:38:05)Korov’ev: they’re small, but detailed, so we may end up continuing the expedition on the following Sunday.

    (05/02 13:38:16)Korov’ev: Or Doobes’ Ages, whenever they’ll come out ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:38:25)Korov’ev: The week after that, we’ll visit a few (recently updated) Ages by Tikibear.

    (05/02 13:38:29)Doobes would love to have a new RAD contest someday

    (05/02 13:38:36)Korov’ev: Then, it will be time for… Geologica!

    (05/02 13:38:41)TikiBear blushes

    (05/02 13:38:47)Lari’el: Could use touch-sensitive devices into Linking Books…

    (05/02 13:38:53)Korov’ev: Ohh, hi TIki!

    (05/02 13:39:06)Korov’ev: The expeditions are at 11:00 KIT, in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with “/hood”).

    (05/02 13:39:14)Korov’ev: We often overlap with the start of Radio Free D’ni programs, so make sure to have the streaming ready ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (05/02 13:39:28)Korov’ev: There’s also a stream, if you really want ๐Ÿ˜› https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

    (05/02 13:39:33)Doobes: Tunes while you tour!

    (05/02 13:39:44)Korov’ev: Also: after the tour, at 14:00 KIT, there will be door runs on Minkata, Gehn or TOC on rotation ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:40:01)Korov’ev: Any questions?

    (05/02 13:40:21)CT Hostess Susa’n: Do we have any time for real life? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (05/02 13:40:29)Korov’ev: Nope :p

    (05/02 13:40:35)TikiBear: Does anybody still have one?

    (05/02 13:40:37)CT Hostess Susa’n: good ๐Ÿ˜€

    (05/02 13:40:43)Doobes: Real life? The heek is that? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (05/02 13:40:49)axenna: is this the real life?

    (05/02 13:40:51)Korov’ev: Real, virtual, it’s all mixed up these days ๐Ÿ˜€

    (05/02 13:40:56)axenna: is this just fantasy?

    (05/02 13:40:57)Claidi Song: Isn’t RL pretty at a standstill?

    (05/02 13:41:12)Korov’ev: Time for some quick Cyan news!

    (05/02 13:41:12)Doobes: For the moment, yes.

    (05/02 13:41:23)Korov’ev: The Cyan Store now has a Free Stuff section, with a Myst Desktop Background Pack: https://store.cyan.com/collections/free-stuff

    (05/02 13:41:31)Korov’ev: Indie Megabooth has a long list of games that will be on sale from May 5th to 12th,

    (05/02 13:41:39)Korov’ev: which includes Obduction, Zed, and over 150 other indie titles.

    (05/02 13:41:50)Korov’ev: Now, some quick news from Mysterium 2020:

    (05/02 13:42:01)shokhootahn Rehn: @axe Caught in a landslide

    (05/02 13:42:11)Korov’ev: If it won’t take place in RL, it will likely happen virtually…

    (05/02 13:42:21)Korov’ev: The Triumvirate has opened location bids for editions of the convention outside the official one.

    (05/02 13:42:28)Korov’ev: The bids will be handled a bit differently, and accepted year-round.

    (05/02 13:42:35)Korov’ev: For 2022, that means bids will be due by April 1, 2021.

    (05/02 13:42:41)Korov’ev: More info and links at https://mysterium.net/2020/04/location-bids/

    (05/02 13:43:59)Doobes: LOL!

    (05/02 13:44:05)Adam {Hoikas}: [trollface.jpg]\

    (05/02 13:44:07)Lari’el: I reject your reality and subtitute my own.

    (05/02 13:44:18)shokhootahn Rehn: Sorry, just got hit with a wave of lag

    (05/02 13:44:25)JamieM(2.0): Jamie from Mythbusters?

    (05/02 13:44:38)aqua: Adam I think!

    (05/02 13:44:52)shokhootahn Rehn:

    (05/02 13:44:54)Lari’el: I forget who said it, but I probably use it far too much.

    (05/02 13:44:55)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.

    (05/02 13:45:15)shokhootahn Rehn: First, the language classes…

    (05/02 13:45:36)shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.

    (05/02 13:46:06)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. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.

    (05/02 13:46:46)shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (05/02 13:47:07)shokhootahn Rehn:

    (05/02 13:47:17)shokhootahn Rehn: Now for some exciting news…

    (05/02 13:47:23)shokhootahn Rehn:

    (05/02 13:47:41)shokhootahn Rehn: Last time, I announced that there were three students taking the classes: one set to take lesson 4, one for lesson 6, and one working on thier final exam.

    (05/02 13:47:58)shokhootahn Rehn: The first two students are now both working on lesson 6.

    (05/02 13:48:48)shokhootahn Rehn: Many of you have met axenna. She was the one working on their final. I am pleased to announce that axenna has completed her final exam and passed the D’ni 101 class. Please giver her a round of applause!

    (05/02 13:49:01)axenna bows

    (05/02 13:49:03)AnoraLD: Yay for axenna!

    (05/02 13:49:08)Lari’el: Yer killin’ it, axe ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:49:13)axenna: thank you all <3

    (05/02 13:49:26)axenna: rehn is an amazing teacher

    (05/02 13:49:38)Lutra: congrats, axenna. Pop quiz: how do you greet a person in D’ni?

    (05/02 13:49:45)shokhootahn Rehn: ๐Ÿ˜€

    (05/02 13:49:52)Boywhith: Can you say that in D’ni, now? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    (05/02 13:49:53)axenna: .shorah Lutra ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:49:53)rarified: With pizza?

    (05/02 13:50:12)aqua: “H’ello”, obviously

    (05/02 13:50:16)axenna: thank you as well, rehn <3

    (05/02 13:50:22)AnoraLD: If you’re greeting with pizza, you’re cooking with gas.

    (05/02 13:50:35)Lari’el: Yum, pizza.

    (05/02 13:50:39)shokhootahn Rehn: .meoor ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:50:53)axenna: .chev shem

    (05/02 13:51:16)shokhootahn Rehn: The Guild of Instructors’ Hood will be open and public unless a class is in session. I will announce the availability of daytime classes here and on the Hood imager when they are ready to resume.

    (05/02 13:51:54)shokhootahn Rehn: Are there any questions? Typing is slow on this PC so please be patient for my response. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:52:12)Korov’ev: none in queue. any?

    (05/02 13:52:17)Lari’el: You need speech to text, Rehn!

    (05/02 13:52:24)shokhootahn Rehn: lol

    (05/02 13:52:29)Lari’el: ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:52:33)JamieM(2.0): The one Andriod is not bad

    (05/02 13:52:40)JamieM(2.0): *The one Andirod

    (05/02 13:52:44)JamieM(2.0): Thank you

    (05/02 13:52:45)shokhootahn Rehn: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

    (05/02 13:52:46)Lari’el: Imagine teaching it D’ni, though.

    (05/02 13:52:49)JamieM(2.0) clicks clap

    (05/02 13:52:54)Emor D’ni Lap passes around the collection hat for a new keyboard for Rehn

    (05/02 13:53:11)JamieM(2.0): LOL@EDL

    (05/02 13:53:12)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night – Europe is now at the same stage of the history as is original Story Night.

    (05/02 13:53:14)Lari’el: Right? Good grief, I have spares upon spares…

    (05/02 13:53:15)EthanEver drops a coin

    (05/02 13:53:31)shokhootahn Rehn: We are continuing with the story arc of the D’ni kings. Today, and for the next 10 weeks, we will hear the stories of the kings

    (05/02 13:53:50)shokhootahn Rehn: Story Night is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

    (05/02 13:54:06)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.

    (05/02 13:54:31)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.

    (05/02 13:55:03)shokhootahn Rehn: I also post changes on the left-hand imager in the hood.

    (05/02 13:55:19)Korov’ev: So, about 14:30 today

    (05/02 13:55:32)shokhootahn Rehn: Yes

    (05/02 13:55:37)shokhootahn Rehn: Due to the pandemic, I will not be traveling for the foreseeable future. As a result, times for both Story Nights will be unaffected by 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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:56:16)shokhootahn Rehn: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

    (05/02 13:56:22)Lari’el: ie, Rehn’s gonna phone it in.

    (05/02 13:56:41)shokhootahn Rehn: lol

    (05/02 13:01:46) 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.
    (05/02 13:01:53) 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.
    (05/02 13:02:12) Korov'ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question.
    (05/02 13:02:30) 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.
    (05/02 13:02:46) Korov'ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of this meeting will be published in the next few days on the Guild of Messengers' site: https://www.guildofmessengers.info/

    (05/02 13:10:22) rarified: so forgive me if I retype something I said earlier.
    (05/02 13:10:47) rarified: I had been buried in working to archive all of our source code from
    (05/02 13:11:07) rarified: our public repositories on BitBucket, as they were discontinuing support
    (05/02 13:11:25) rarified: for our "flavor" of source management. What is worse is that they were (are)
    (05/02 13:11:44) rarified: planning to delete all of their copies of repositories at the end of this month.
    (05/02 13:11:57) Lari'el: Ugh! ๐Ÿ™
    (05/02 13:12:00) rarified: So I had to scramble to program a way to save the data.
    (05/02 13:12:16) rarified: I finished that, and have secure copies of that information. I haven't yet
    (05/02 13:12:18) JamieM(2.0): (I'm very sorry to hear that)
    (05/02 13:12:30) Lari'el wonders if it was Subversion
    (05/02 13:12:34) rarified: promoted that to new repositories in the format they will be "supporting"
    (05/02 13:12:43) Christian Walther: no, Mercurial
    (05/02 13:12:54) JamieM(2.0): (For now)
    (05/02 13:12:54) Lari'el: ah :/
    (05/02 13:12:58) rarified: from now on. But I do have public copies of those repositories available on
    (05/02 13:13:18) rarified: the OpenUru Foundry server, so life can go on, albiet a little awkward for now.
    (05/02 13:13:29) rarified: But now fot the big step…
    (05/02 13:13:50) rarified: After finishing that, I was able to go back to getting fan ages to be able to
    (05/02 13:14:01) rarified: be loaded into the Minkata alpha shard for testing.
    (05/02 13:14:15) JamieM(2.0): Neato!

    (05/02 13:14:25) Lari'el: Good news indeed ๐Ÿ™‚
    (05/02 13:14:27) rarified: We had a fair bit of work to do, since the (dreaded) PhysX physics engine had
    (05/02 13:14:29) axenna cheers
    (05/02 13:14:47) rarified: to be updated to a newer version. That change meant that old Cyan code
    (05/02 13:15:09) rarified: that tried to "fix" errors in the previous version now "broke" the client.
    (05/02 13:15:28) CT Hostess Susa'n: yikes!
    (05/02 13:15:30) rarified: I was able (with help from Adam) to pick out a number of fixes that had been
    (05/02 13:15:49) rarified: waiting for a time to be added to the MOULa client, and integrate them
    (05/02 13:16:09) rarified: into the Minkata shard client. With that done WE NOW HAVE FAN AGES ON MINKATA ALPHA!@

    (05/02 13:16:48) Doobes: Chiso Preniv, the PUB, and Veelay Tsahvahn…all working (almost) perfectly. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (05/02 13:16:49) rarified: We have had a number of enthusiastic age testers on alpha and as far as Doobes
    (05/02 13:16:51) AnoraLD claps her hands
    (05/02 13:16:55) EthanEver whistles
    (05/02 13:16:57) JamieM(2.0) cheers
    (05/02 13:16:59) rarified: tells me the ages are ready for wider exposure.
    (05/02 13:17:23) rarified: I have one more server change to make in order to make the "library" age public so
    (05/02 13:17:23) Doobes: Any fixes so far need to be done on my end…but yeah, go nuts. ๐Ÿ™‚
    (05/02 13:17:28) Lari'el: That's great news!
    (05/02 13:17:40) rarified: it is shared globally like Kirel — everyone goes to the same library.
    (05/02 13:17:53) JamieM(2.0): Oh that's neat
    (05/02 13:17:54) Doobes: Much like how it is in Gehn Shard at the moment.
    (05/02 13:18:04) JamieM(2.0): Just going to ask that.
    (05/02 13:18:06) JamieM(2.0): Neato!
    (05/02 13:18:07) rarified: In the mean time the updated client has been available on Minkata for most of April.
    (05/02 13:18:27) rarified: We've had a few regressions noted from our testers, the biggest is that you
    (05/02 13:18:37) rarified: will trip over the bottom of stairs when you try to go up.
    (05/02 13:18:52) Jaytee: stub your toes
    (05/02 13:19:06) rarified: I have been holding off installing Doobes' ages on Minkata as I wanted to find a fix
    (05/02 13:19:08) Adam {Hoikas}: this is generally due to improper collision models by Cyan.
    (05/02 13:19:32) rarified: for that physics issue (if I can), but I'm also thinking once I get the procedure
    (05/02 13:19:50) rarified: designed for adding a new global age, I'll go ahead and add the ages to the

    (05/02 13:20:05) Telrov cheers
    (05/02 13:20:10) Doobes: That and the Ages need a few adjustments and updates. I had a few things modified for a DI release that snuck their way in. ๐Ÿ˜›
    (05/02 13:20:30) rarified: I don't want to push the new client (which is needed for the fan ages) to MOULa until I've
    (05/02 13:20:55) rarified: either found a fix for the toes, or discussed it with Chogon since it is a small step backward
    (05/02 13:21:08) rarified: that new explorers may find uncomfortable.
    (05/02 13:21:12) rarified: ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (05/02 13:21:14) JamieM(2.0): LOL
    (05/02 13:21:36) rarified: In the mean time, I'm also doing a major upgrade to our automated build system for
    (05/02 13:21:52) rarified: compiling the clients for Minkata and MOULa. Moving to a newer version of
    (05/02 13:22:13) rarified: the Microsoft compilers (that still can be used on current Windows for debugging),
    (05/02 13:22:37) rarified: as well as bringing the automated configuration into the current century.
    (05/02 13:22:55) rarified: (It hasn't been changed since OpenUru first opened Minkata back in 2011.)
    (05/02 13:23:05) Lari'el: Interesting.
    (05/02 13:23:21) rarified: With the new PhysX, the fan ages, the new build system, and whatever else I can
    (05/02 13:23:37) rarified: stuff into the package, the new MOULa client should run much more smoothly on
    (05/02 13:23:58) rarified: Windows 10. And yes, this time (I checked, testers checked, everyone checked) the
    (05/02 13:24:16) rarified: Windows 10 mouse fix is finally in the client destined for MOULa!@

    (05/02 13:24:45) Boywhith: Wow!
    (05/02 13:24:51) Briggs thanks you very much!
    (05/02 13:24:52) Telrov: Thats a huge step forward.
    (05/02 13:24:55) rarified: So, it's been a busy month with nothing else I can be doing outside of house arrest.
    (05/02 13:25:11) rarified: And that's where I am, and I'm sticking to it. Questions?
    (05/02 13:25:20) Korov'ev: oh yes…
    (05/02 13:25:26) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Lutra.
    (05/02 13:25:26) Korov'ev: [Lutra] Question for rarified: How much work would it be to move away from PhysX to Bullet or something?
    (05/02 13:25:37) Karel leans left
    (05/02 13:25:39) Doobes: Lots? ๐Ÿ˜€
    (05/02 13:25:51) skuavi II: (leanright
    (05/02 13:25:53) rarified: A tremendous amount of work. Adam can go into the details, but the Cyan engine "Plasma" was
    (05/02 13:25:55) skuavi II leans right
    (05/02 13:25:59) Korov'ev: more than updating PhysX, I'd guess ๐Ÿ™‚
    (05/02 13:26:05) rarified: built assuming the PhysX interface.
    (05/02 13:26:18) Lutra: ok.
    (05/02 13:26:19) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Theo.
    (05/02 13:26:19) Korov'ev: [Theo] These files from BitBucket, how big are they? How many of them should we copy from your servers for safekeeping?
    (05/02 13:26:26) Lutra: thx.
    (05/02 13:26:57) rarified: The repositories themselves have always been safely kept on the OpenUru foundry (which I run).
    (05/02 13:27:17) Korov'ev: Our next question is from JamieM(2.0).
    (05/02 13:27:17) Korov'ev: [JamieM(2.0)] I am sure all of us are eager to know if you have a timeline for when the new ages will be hear in MOULa?
    (05/02 13:27:18) rarified: And are public for anyone to clone (at https://foundry.openuru.org/gitblit/).
    (05/02 13:27:37) skuavi II: see you all have fun
    (05/02 13:27:40) skuavi II bows
    (05/02 13:27:41) rarified: But Metadata (like comments, pull requests, commit data) were never in the repository
    (05/02 13:27:51) rarified: And are not currently publicly posted.
    (05/02 13:27:52) JamieM(2.0): See yeah Skuavi
    (05/02 13:27:59) rarified: I do have good backups though ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (05/02 13:28:13) Korov'ev: [JamieM(2.0)] I am sure all of us are eager to know if you have a timeline for when the new ages will be hear in MOULa?
    (05/02 13:28:27) rarified: @JamieM I can't speak for a timeline, because in part it depends on Cyan/Chogon.
    (05/02 13:28:36) JamieM(2.0): Fair enough
    (05/02 13:28:46) J'Kla: Cyan Sooon
    (05/02 13:28:51) Korov'ev: Our next question is from Christian Walther.
    (05/02 13:28:51) Korov'ev: [Christian Walther] Question maybe more for Adam than rarified: What (if anything) did H-uru/Gehn do about the stuck-on-stairs problem? I seem to remember we had encountered that before.
    (05/02 13:28:53) rarified: He will have to do some server work as well because his server is different from Minkata's MOSS
    (05/02 13:28:57) JamieM(2.0): LOL just going to say taht
    (05/02 13:28:58) rarified: or Gehn's DirtSand.
    (05/02 13:29:41) rarified: @CW I haven't picked Adam's brain since the stair problem was logged.
    (05/02 13:29:54) rarified: Perhaps we'll get some time to discuss it in the next week or two.
    (05/02 13:30:09) Adam {Hoikas}: I wonder if it is framerate dependent somehow. I do remember visualizing the collisions and seeing they were built wrong…
    (05/02 13:30:20) Adam {Hoikas}: I'll post some thoughts in OU discord later.
    (05/02 13:30:30) rarified: Good — thanks!
    (05/02 13:30:44) Korov'ev: Our next question is from CT Hostess Susa'n.
    (05/02 13:30:44) Korov'ev: [CT Hostess Susa'n] When you add the fan ages to MOULa, where will the Nexus terminal be located?
    (05/02 13:31:17) Doobes: Right now, there's more of a makeshift path that won't include a fan Nexus or terminal yet.
    (05/02 13:31:26) rarified: Right now, the link to the library age (ChisoPreniv) is available in one of the Pubs.
    (05/02 13:31:31) Doobes: Or at least one I've proposed. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (05/02 13:31:42) CT Hostess Susa'n thanks you very much!
    (05/02 13:31:57) rarified: I think there will be a little back and forth (and maybe Cyan input) before that is set in stone.
    (05/02 13:32:03) Korov'ev: also, CP is meant as an alternative to the Nexus for fan Ages.
    (05/02 13:32:03) rarified: (so to speak)
    (05/02 13:32:22) Doobes: Indeed. Any path will require at least a minor mod to one of their Ages.
    (05/02 13:32:41) Doobes: Which is easier now given they've let us do exactly that.
    (05/02 13:32:47) rarified: Any more questions, Kor?
    (05/02 13:32:48) Korov'ev: So that's basically the only one that will need a place for the book.
    (05/02 13:32:56) Korov'ev: none in queue
    (05/02 13:33:08) Korov'ev: A remainder:
    (05/02 13:33:18) Korov'ev: To install Minkata, check /clap Thank you Rarified!
    (05/02 13:33:19) rarified: Ok. Thanks for your time, and I'll look for you on Minkata.

    (05/02 13:34:24) Korov'ev: I'd guess "none" ๐Ÿ™‚

    (05/02 13:36:35) JamieM(2.0): Kadish would STILL be a nightmare
    (05/02 13:36:36) Korov'ev: Yes, Myst and Riven are on mobile

    (05/02 13:38:05) Korov'ev: they're small, but detailed, so we may end up continuing the expedition on the following Sunday.
    (05/02 13:38:16) Korov'ev: Or Doobes' Ages, whenever they'll come out ๐Ÿ™‚
    (05/02 13:38:25) Korov'ev: The week after that, we'll visit a few (recently updated) Ages by Tikibear.
    (05/02 13:38:29) Doobes would love to have a new RAD contest someday

    (05/02 13:39:06) Korov'ev: The expeditions are at 11:00 KIT, in the shard Hood (you can get there quickly with "/hood").
    (05/02 13:39:14) Korov'ev: We often overlap with the start of Radio Free D'ni programs, so make sure to have the streaming ready ๐Ÿ˜‰
    (05/02 13:39:28) Korov'ev: There's also a stream, if you really want ๐Ÿ˜› https://www.twitch.tv/korovvannoort

    (05/02 13:41:12) Doobes: For the moment, yes.

    (05/02 13:42:11) Korov'ev: If it won't take place in RL, it will likely happen virtually…
    (05/02 13:42:21) Korov'ev: The Triumvirate has opened location bids for editions of the convention outside the official one.
    (05/02 13:42:28) Korov'ev: The bids will be handled a bit differently, and accepted year-round.
    (05/02 13:42:35) Korov'ev: For 2022, that means bids will be due by April 1, 2021.

    (05/02 13:45:36) shokhootahn Rehn: I am still putting things away and finding forever homes for everything after my recent move. As a result, I am reluctant to add daytime classes until further notice. They *should* be able to return sometime in the fall. If someone needs a daytime slot, contact me and we will work something out. Night time classes, however, are unaffected.
    (05/02 13:46:06) 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. Contact me by PM to set up a day and a time.
    (05/02 13:46:46) shokhootahn Rehn: As always, current students can find last-minute updates to class times on the left-hand imager.

    (05/02 13:57:02) shokhootahn Rehn: YOU *MUST* INCLUDE YOUR KI NUMBER IN THE BODY OF THE MAIL TO BE ADDED!
