  • Admin Notice: 821 A.S. Begins

    [feedquote='Discovery RP Feed','http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=109544'] Well it's that time of year folks, or maybe that year of time... I don't know, whatever. A new year has come in for those of you who live in the future, or you're still waiting for the bells to ring if you're behind the times.

    What has been a consistent problem with mod updates and the RP continuum is that each version has taken longer than one year to be released. 4.87 was released as taking place in 820, and rather than have more recycled years, it has been decided to declare 2014 as relating to the 821st year After Settlement; if you're in Gallia it would be 737 A.G.S.

    Mod updates with their relevant story fast-forwards are planned to be smaller and more frequent, so there won't be any mess of another 821 coming around in 2015.

    Enjoy yourselves responsibly, and Happy New Year from the Admin team!

    [feedquote='Discovery RP Feed','http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=108828']

    Ladies and gentlemen, the holidays season is upon us, and little elves of the dev team have been working hard to get this update ready for you in time. Your copy of Discovery should automatically update itself the next time you run the game. Even though at the first glance update 5 change log might seem rather lighter than the past couple of updates, the technical work done for this update is comparable to the previous ones, and a few of the rather time consuming features on 4.87 to-do list is finally ready and implemented in this update.

    After a long wait, the couple of bugs preventing player owned bases from functioning properly is also fixed and the bases will be turned back on in a week or two.

    Also, to answer two questions frequently asked by the community during the past weeks:

    ShipRange plugin by adoxa and the scanners rework: With this new plugin, scan range on each scanner is taken into account as well, and each ship will be able to see other ships as far as the stats of the equipped scanner allows, so unlike how it worked until now (Ships and objects appearing on radar at 14k range regardless of the scan range of the equipped scanner) a ship equipped with a scanner allowing scan range of 25k will be able to see ships from 25k away, while a ship equipped with a scanner with 6k scan range will only see ships closer than 6k on the radar.

    New techcompat plugin: The new plugin works in addition to the old plugin, and does not replace it. With the new plugin ship-gun combinations can be controlled independent of ID-ship-gun restrictions. Each ship has a set of defined "allowed guns", and if any of those guns are used, the powercore efficiency will be calculated based on the ID, but if any other gun is used, powercore will be reduced to 10% regardless of the ID mounted. Note that this plugin is still in its testing phase and adjustments or reworks should be expected until the final release. A thread will be posted in the rules section shortly with a more thorough explanation of the new plugin.

Your Discovery client should automatically download and install this update for you the next time you run the game. This update can be considered the first major beta patch for the Conquest, and unlike the previous updates which focused on fixing the more critical bugs, update 3 also includes various gameplay-related updates as well as various cosmetic changes. Even though this is not the final release and Discovery 4.87 is still in its beta phase, update 3 is the first stable release of the Conquest and we'd like to thank the community members who helped our developers identify and fix as many bugs as possible since the initial release.

    Complete list of bug fixes and changes included in update 3:

    Code:

    Also, to answer two questions frequently asked by the community during the past week:

    Database Rollback: As announced, the rollback is scheduled for update 3, and you can expect it within the next couple of days. It also includes player owned bases. The inactivity wipe will be disabled for 2 weeks from the time of the rollback, so we suggest you refresh all your characters after the rollback to make sure none will be lost to inactivity. A separate notice will be posted in this section when the rollback happens.

    Player Owned Bases: The three 4.86 repair commodities (Basic Alloys, Robotics, Ship Hull Panels) on all player bases will be automatically replaced with the equal quantity of their 4.87 counterparts after the rollback. Due to an issue with the player base plugin, however, the bases are going to be disabled and will remain offline until the issue is fixed. Since this bug is entirely server-side, you can expect the fix to be implemented independent of the scheduled client-side updates. A notice will be posted to let base owners know 1 week in advance when the bug is fixed and the plugin is scheduled to be re-enabled.

    To server administrators:

    dacomsrv.ini has been updated in the new update. You will need to edit it if you run any custom plugins. Further, if your members get automatically kicked for cheating upon joining the server after the update, you need to add healing.dll into the anticheat exception list to fix the issue.[/feedquote]
