2 Ark Group

2.1 Events d'Anlor Winn
It's first time mixed teams of RF and Ryzom work together on such a event, and even if there are still things to improve, the result was very promising.Especially a big thank to Remigra (Graphics) for new textures we could discover this year, to Sontje (Event Team) for her ideas, to Riasan (Ark) who spent very long time to script all, to Ulukin (Dev) who added missing modules, and to all the testers who spent long time on Yubo.

Q: Zakkk: Halloween patchlet + the events made many Linux and Mac players crash ... I wanted to know if next patches will all be like this one.
A: Riasan: I'll do my best no to have this problem again. We tested all stuffs several times on Yubo with the 3 OS before we activated them on Atys and we had no problem. Unfortunately, it has not been the same on Atys.About crashes, Ryzom Core may have found the reason, it works on it and we'll try to fix it quickly. The problem is that we changed the special bag to make it looking more like the normal bag, and for this we created a new interface windows. Unfortunately the Core client (Linux+Mac) has a bug when the Gui window is created in the ingame inventory. The crash occures when there is an item into the special bag.The special bag will stay deactivated until the problem will be fixed.

Q: I would like to know the interest of the special bag? I don't know why we need it if it is exactely the same as the normal bag.
A: Because creating new real items is hard and needs very much work, when it's easy to add new virtual items (special bag).

3 Groupe Level Design

3.1 Nouveaux Level Designers
Ptitbill : nous avons un nouveau membre au sein de l'équipe : Ascensa, qui nous a rejoint cette semaine. Côté Ryzom Forge, j'ai reçu des réponses à la suite de mon grand cri de la semaine derniere : j'ai enfin des propositions pour la nation zoraï. Rikutatis a déposé deux projets de mission que nous allons commencer à travailler avec lui/elle dès que possible. Phileur m'a également contacté, j'attends ses propositions. Ce qui fait Tryker, Zorai, Matis... je vais devoir de nouveau pousser un cri pour obtenir des propositions fyros cette fois-ci !

3.2 Missions de RF
Les projets actuellement en cours de préparation avancent bien.Le projet de Zendae est assez sympatique, nous en avons testé une petite partie il y a une semaine et nous aimons beaucoup le concept.Bastien avance vite sur le script de sa mission... ça va être chaud ! Mais je ne peux pas en dire plus.Deed progresse sur un terrain différent, il prépare un nouveau type de métier. Nous allons devoir lister prochainement (d'ici la fin de semaine) la totalité des éléments manquants pour tous ces projets car ils n'utilisent pas tous les visuels existants.Si vous souhaitez nous rejoindre, ce sera avec plaisir.

A: No, the one who started to work on has disapeared.

A: No.

5 Music Group

PtitBill: I think i'll call for Music group to add sounds on some actions in ongoing projects. We will need a database of sounds.

Zendae: The label "Music Group" is a bit false, because they are also in charge of sound effets. Maybe we cold rename it "Audio Group"?
