Removal of Rocket Chat applications for computer and smartphone
✪ If you use Rocket Chat applications for computer or smartphone, you've probably noticed a rather worrying message announcing that the application would cease to function in X days. This will be true from June 1, 2025.Got scared? We did too. :D
And here's the result of our analysis:
✪ We chose Rocket Chat years ago, first and foremost because it was a free tool and therefore it matched our values. But it's becoming less and less true...Indeed, with imposed updates that constantly break the bridge between Ryzom (IG) and Ryzom Chat (RC), features that become chargeable at the whim of the software publisher, and the loss of applications for computer or smartphone, it's becoming difficult to continue to maintain and invest time in Rocket Chat.Especially without any guarantee of being able to continue doing so in the coming months...The previous Rocket Chat update was therefore the final one.
So we went looking for an alternative solution.
✪ And it's the free software Zulip that's going to save us. :)Indeed, after a little development to adapt it to our bridge, it will offer the same features as Rocket Chat, including connection with InGame Chats and translation via DeepL, and even a little more.And it also has applications for PC and smartphone.Naturally, it'll take a little getting used to, but we're confident you'll love Zulip. :)And so, from June 1 and pending the migration to Zulip scheduled for this summer, you can continue to use only the web version of Ryzom Chat at https://chat.ryzom.comA future announcement will inform you of the migration date.
Okay, fine. But when will it change? We want the rest!
✪ Ah, good question! Rocket Chat's modification didn't leave us much time to choose, deploy and modify software for our uses. So from June 1, 2025, you'll only be able to use the web version of Ryzom Chat. And in a few weeks, we'll be migrating to Zulip. Dev Ulukyn is currently working on this as a priority.
Wait, but... But I've got lots of messages, chats exchanged with friends, with my guild, and we've even exchanged files! Are we going to be able to keep all that?
✪ Ah... Well, we're sorry to have to tell you now that... Yes! You'll be able to find all your messages and files in Zulip! Phew! Connecting to Zulip is even easier than with RC, as it now uses the same login page as everything else, the one with the character selection.We wish you a great game on Atys!The Ryzom team
For Refugee Days we intedruce a new OOC Event "Hide n Hype".
✪ This is a full automated Hide & Seek Event for the whole Server! ✪ Register yourself via the Help Icon on Dyn Event List. (on your Map or via the WebApp) ✪ Wait for a new round to start (between 30min - 60min). ✪ Hide and Hype! ✪ For all Infos please visit the Forum with all Game Rules and more Explanations. ✪ https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=post/view/210747
✪ The rotation is now fully automated. It takes place on the first server reboot after 1 March, 1 June, 1 September and 1 December. ✪ If, for example, a server reboot takes place on 13 March, rotation takes place. If another server reboot takes place on 24 April, there is no new rotation. However, from 1st June, there will be a rotation for the next server reboot. ✪ Each rotation is accompanied by the usual betting period of at least 7 days.
Command Autocompletion Fixes
✪ Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred when clicking on a suggested command (e.g., /invite). ✪ Reduced lag when using suggested player names (e.g., /tell xxxxx). ✪ The suggestion menu now displays in the correct position, popping up either below or above the chat input as needed.
Command Autocompletion - New Setting
✪ New Setting: Added an option to disable the entire feature. ✪ Location: Settings → Interface → Chat → Use Command Autocompletion
Command Autocompletion - Emote Support (e.g., /wave)
✪ All emotes are now included in command autocompletion and displayed as suggestions with all their parameters. ✪ Added emote support to the Help Page (/? wave, /? all emotes). ✪ The Help Page now displays all relevant information about emotes: ✪ Text without a target ✪ Text targeting yourself ✪ Text with a target ✪ If available, both male and female versions of the emote text. ✪ A preview of what the system will display when executing the command. ✪ All possible parameters for the command.
Command Autocompletion - Search in the Help (e.g /? *guild*)
✪ You can now use * to search for commands or emotes on the Help Page. ✪ Typing /? *guild or /? guild* will display help for all commands and emotes that start or end with "guild."
Command Autocompletion - Grouped Commands in the Help
✪ If a command has a short form or multiple variations that perform the same action, all versions will now be displayed in the Help Page. ✪ "shout" is the same as "yell", so both will be listed in the Help Page. ✪ "region" is the same as "r" or "re", so searching for "r" will also show "region" and "re".
