Let's talk a little about the recent server problems, there have been several.The first problem, the most critical, was quite particular and could crash any Ryzom service. Indeed, a Ryzom server is composed of many services which manage an aspect of the game: the EGS which manages the entities (NPC, creatures, actions, etc...), the IOS manages texts and chats and other smaller services but whose role is also important. Now, the bug could occur in one of these services and up to 2-3 times a day, which depending on the service that crashed could cause chain reactions (and therefore a server that crashes completely). The reason of the crash is a bit technical (I could give more details if needed) but a fix was applied and since then none of the services crashed because of this bug.Another bug has finally been fixed. This is one of the oldest known bugs in the game. We suspected that it came from the missions and we had a hunch that it only happened with characters returning to the game after a long absence. We were able to investigate this bug because we unintentionally caused it by moving occupations into Kitins' Lair. This maneuver, in fact, unknowingly caused the aliases (identification numbers saved in the character's file kept by the server) of the missions concerned to change. Now, if a mission changes aliases and a player has kept the old alias in the character's save file on his own machine, the server will crash as soon as the character in question is loaded. This is because aliases were not originally designed to be changeable... no one anticipated that some missions would be moved from one continent to another. Finally, this diagnosis made it easier to find and fix the bug and the unfortunate player who was crashing the server every time he tried to log was finally able to join Atys without a hitch.A third bug has been identified in the IOS, which occurs quite rarely. We made the hypothesis that it occurred when a message was sent by the server on a dynamic chat channel, at the same time as one of the players disconnected and added several checks to avoid this conjunction. For the moment, no new crashes have been reported. We keep an eye on it though.Finally, the last bugs (which cause slowdowns and huge delays in sending messages) occur when the SU crashes (SU = Shard Unifier, a service especially useful when several servers are running - like Aniro, Arispotle and Leanon - or when Ring sessions are active). We have already fixed one of them, the fixing of another is in progress. We will strengthen the part of SU code that handles database writing.That's it for the information about the recent crashes. Are there any questions?
See forum.We need as much feedback as possible, because the timing of the next patch depends on it: the sooner we validate the beta client, the sooner we will patch the new features.So, are there people who have been able to play with the beta client regularly?
See forum.What are your feedbacks, especially about the new algorithm of spawn of Bosses?We would like, indeed, to know if its activation in all regions of Atys is now possible or if it still needs some adjustments.
The project is pretty well advanced.We are running the last alpha tests and the tests on the test servers (Yubo & Gingo) should start soon. At the moment they are focusing on new GvG outposts in zones 50 and will allow us to determine if the NPC setting is good (it is at its minimum, but fighting a guild and NPCs simultaneously can be a bit of a challenge).During this GvG test, we will move forward with the rest of the project. Some of the changes that are already ready, such as reducing the duration of battles to 1 hour and lowering the cost of attacks, could be implemented quickly. The rotation of materials and the taking of outposts by hostile NPC tribes would then come in a later phase of project development.We agreed to give the project a boost over the next two months.

AgendaUpdate on dev toolsJanuary patches presentationSilan refactoringBoss refactoringOP refactoring
#261 Added by Nilstilar 3 years ago
I'm going to come back to the year 2021, which has been the year of consolidation if you will.We have indeed updated quite a few things, on the one hand the servers, the webIG and the client code (with the merging of the code of Ryzom Core 4), but also the compilation process which is now based on Visual C++ 2019 for Windows. In addition a tool, Hunter, has been implemented by Nimetu (RT) to compile the whole more easily.Beyond the tools, the past year has also seen the developer team update its way of working: we now use gitlab more for bugs, communication and patch management and we are very satisfied with it... Wondering why we didn't do it earlier! There is one last thing to do: joining our server and data client repositories with the ryzom-core repository, so that the development process will be even easier.We have also worked on enriching our collection of generic or model-based systems.This is the case, for example, of the "shops" which are increasingly (and will be in the future massively) used to make items or services available in game (for example, purchases in Elyps, whether from Nations merchants, grooms or Allegory carvers NPCs). This is also the case for the Lessons, which are the basis of the information transmitted to players in-game, as well as for the Encyclopedia window (ctrl+E), which includes the Daily Missions, the Storyline, the future tutorial and, recently, the titles, all of which are (or will be) based on the same model.As a result, we have (and will have) fewer systems to maintain, thus fewer bugs, and we will be able to concentrate our efforts on three main tasks. Namely:• completion of the three refactoring projects (Silan, Bosses, Outposts) ;• Storyline's ongoing and the addition of content that has yet to be completed (e.g. Supreme Tokens);• bugs' fixing and improvement of the client (by the way, the year 2022 will start with a patch – currently in test – illustrating this point).
As Ulukyn mentioned, one of our goals for 2022 is to improve the player experience through fixing bugs or bettering the client. The first patch of January will do exactly this.The first change we made was to the system for trading between player characters. More generally, we've tried to improve the process of item trading, because it's not the best at the moment. In addition to changing and simplifying the layout of the trade window, we added two more slots for items. It was mainly the exchanges of jewel sets that led us to this last change.Another change we've made to the player trade window is the ability to drag and drop items into the window from all of your inventories. This way, if you want to trade items carried by your Zig, you won't have to transfer them to your bag first, thus interrupting the trade to complete it later. Note: In order not to clutter up the item selection window, this one won't show you items from other inventories and this function will only operate by drag and drop.The final change to the trade window presented to each player is the addition of item bulk and weight indicators. In fact, a small indicator (similar to the one in the upper right corner of your inventories) will be displayed next to both offers, which will show the weight and bulk of the items given and received. All this in the hope of making the exchanges a little more fluid.Then, stacking of items. Anyone who has fought in PvP knows what it feels like to have an inventory cluttered with crystallized spells. From now on, crystallized spells of the same stanza (or identical stanza) will automatically stack in the inventory where they are stored. As the same clutter currently occurs in the bag of working crafters, identical items produced will now automatically stack in the inventory.Any questions so far?
Let's move on to fixes.I have to say that this patch is quite big, so I'm leaving out some small details. You'll get the surprise when the patchnote will be released!We have a lot of fixes in this patch, especially concerning the Zigs:• fix of the bug that gave them the wrong status when they were hosted in bags;• addition of their inventories as tabs in the commercial windows of merchant NPCs;• addition of the ability to transfer items directly from their inventory to your apartment's and guild hall's inventory;• fixed the malfunction of locking/unlocking items in their inventory.By the way, the lock status of items will now be displayed in your apartment and guild hall inventory.Any questions?
I redesigned the tutorial after several opinions from the first testers, and it is now more intuitive and interactive. The feedback about the first two lessons is quite positive. So I'm going to continue and I hope it will really help new players to get their bearings.I take this opportunity to remind you that the test team is recruiting. So, if you want to test either the patch implementing the additions to the client, or the first lessons of the tutorial, you are welcome.
Boss refactoring will soon be applied all over Atys Atys. However, the work is bound to continue, though we haven't yet determined exactly what we'll be working on. But we'd love to make hunting for Bosses a most funny activity on Ryzom.One of the ideas that has come up among us, so that players can escape routine and their tactical skills can flourish, is the one of providing each of the current Bosses their own defense mechanics. That's the idea which originated this refactoring project… and gave it its first name: "Boss in the Box".If you have other ideas, please feel free to post them in the forum under the meeting report.Any questions ?
We have been able to make progress on GvG, but its introduction seems interesting only if accompanied by the planned changes on all Outposts.That's why we are planning to make several changes at the same time. Namely:• reducing the duration of battles to one hour (already tested in Nexus);• rotation of raw materials produced by each outpost every N days (to be determined), via server reboot;• suppression of the production of Q50 and Q100 materials;• addition of four outposts in level 50 regions for testing GvG battles.After that, another patch will implement the last changes, as the project is well advanced thanks to the full-scale tests on the Atys server.Any questions?

Je vais donc parler de la boutique Rywards qui remplacera du coup Rykea et la section Ryzhome du sac special (y en a des Ry xD).Voici une capture d'écran : https://app.ryzom.com/app_web_assets/assets/694863/Clipboard%20-% 207%20f%C3%A9vrier%202022%2021%2043%281%29.png.Il s'agit donc d'une nouvelle page de la fenêtre shift + E.Il y aura à la fois donc une liste d'objets d'appartement classés en fonction des catégories déjà connues via les titres mais aussi de collections à compléter.Chaque collection terminée donnant lieu à une récompense unique (toujours d'appartement).Il y aura aussi la liste des objets déjà obtenue avec une pré-visualisation 3D.Et l'information indiquant le nombre d'objets en sa possesion (donc les doublons) et combien sont posés dans l'appartement.
L'autre particularité de la boutique c'est que l'on pourra savoir ce qu'il faut pour obtenir chaque objet.Parfois (comme sur le screen) ils ne seront disponibles qu'en gain via la roue.Parfois en évènement spécial.Et d'autres fois il sera indiqué quel type de ticket est nécessaire.Les tickets Rywards étant les plus communs et génériques, ils permettront d'acheter de nombreux objets, notamment ceux des autres nations.Avec parfois des couleurs ou des textures différentes.Enfin, si vous avez des doublons, vous pourrez les convertir en tickets Rywards et donc acheter des objets de votre choix.Ainsi, obtenir des doublons à la roue, permet de les convertir en tickets Rywards qui permet alors d'acheter des objets.Plus tard, d'autres récompenses viendront compléter la boutique.Comme des perruques, des tenues ou autres objets purement esthétiques.Nous suivons différentes pistes afin d'ajouter des choses cosmétiques sympas, comme de nouveaux FX d'afk, des animations, etc ...Y a-t-il des questions, suggestions, remarques ?
Passons donc à la suite qui concerne Ryzhome et donc les appartements.Et je vais pouvoir donner la proposition d'ajout.L'idée c'est de pouvoir faire des configurations d'appartement.Et donc de pouvoir avoir plusieurs configurations d'objets et de choisir celle que l'on souhaite afficher.Par exemple une configuration pourrait contenir tous les objets de Noël.Une autre ceux d'Anlor Winn.
Enfin il sera possible de donner des items a sa guilde pour la décoration du hall de guilde.Et là pour le coup ... Va falloir remplir.Des questions ?Si pas de questions, passons à la suite.Mais avant, petite précision, il sera également possible avec des Tickets Rywards d'acheter des jetons suprêmes pour la roue.Ce qui du coup tombe assez bien puisqu'il vont être ajoutés prochainement.Les jetons permettront de gagner une récompense à coup sûr, mais évidement, certaines seront plus rares que d'autres.Mais les jetons suprêmes pourront également servir à acheter des tickets Rywards faisant ainsi un cycle.Vous aurez alors le choix entre, jouer des jetons suprêmes à la roue et gagner une récompense sûre, mais pas forcément celle que vous souhaitez.Soit convertir les jetons en ticket Ryward et vous offrir une récompense de votre choix.Ainsi les récompenses ne seront plus systématiquement le fruit du hasard.De plus, de la même manière que les objets d'appartement, les doublons des objets gagnés à la roue pourront être convertis.Donc morceaux de zig ou montures, coiffures, etc ... Ne les jetez pas, recyclez, c'est bon pour Atys !Si vous avez des idées de cadeaux, nous sommes toujours friands de suggestions.Et si vous faites un peu de 3D avec blender, sachez que l'on peut vous aider à intégrer des objets dans le jeu. (Sous licence CC-by-SA avec crédits a votre nom ou pseudo si vous le souhaitez).Des questions ?Et si pas de question, on passe à la suite.On vient de parler de récompenses esthétiques, nous avons aussi prévu du contenu plus gameplay.À commencer par les enchantements éphémères.Il s'agit d'enchantement de sorts qui ne pourront être obtenus que via des PNJs ou bâtiments.Ils pourront s'empiler et prendront la même place que les actuels.Lorsque l'on enchante une arme avec un enchantement éphémère l'arme se charge entièrement de sève.Et ne peut plus être rechargée.À chaque utilisation de l'enchantement éphémère, la charge en sève va donc baisser sans pouvoir être rechargée.Une fois la charge de l'arme insuffisante pour utiliser l'enchantement, celui-ci disparait.Ainsi, prenons l'exemple d'un enchantement éphémère qui consome 300 de sève.On l'applique sur une arme qui peut avoir au maximum 1000 de charge de sève.L'arme se charge complètement, donc à 1000.On peut alors utiliser 3 fois l'enchantement.Il ne reste alors que 100 de sève, l'enchantement disparait.Les 100 de sève restent.
Les enchantements éphémères seront soit passifs, soit actifs.Actifs, il faudra les lancer comme les enchantements actuels et consommeront donc de la sève a chaque utilisation.Ce ne sont pas forcément que des sorts que l'on connaît, mais cela peut être aussi une mini aura, un effet de zone, il n'y pas vraiment de limitation technique.Passifs, ils s'activerons tout seuls à chaque utilisation de l'arme, à la manière des effets d'avant poste comme Tekorn ou Vedice.D'ailleurs, un enchantement éphémère remplacera temporairement l'effet de l'arme.Les effets temporaires de par leur fonctionnement pourront être très puissants (mais très couteux en sève et donc limités dans leur utilisation).De plus, plus ils seront puissants, plus ils seront difficiles à obtenir.
Actuellement, consommer des objets peut être assez frustrant.Je pense nottament au changement d'enchantement ou a la recharge de sève constante en PvP.Bref, ça fait mal à la main.Nous avons évaluer plusieurs suggestions pour résoudre le problème.Je vous présente aujourd'hui la solution que nous évaluons comme optimale.La barre d'objets.En gros, c'est un nouvel inventaire consistant de 5 emplacements.On peut y mettre des objets consommables, comme des potions, des larves, etc.Ainsi que des recharges de sève ou des enchantements.Les emplacements se retrouveront dans la fenêtre actuelle d'équipement et dans sa propre fenêtre (si on souhaite l'afficher).Il y aura des raccourcis clavier configurables pour chaque emplacement de la barre (pour consommer/utiliser l'objet) et la barre d'objets sera integrée avec le système de groupe d'objets actuel.Je vous présente une capture d'écran du brouillon auquel je travaille.https://app.ryzom.com/app_web_assets/assets/694863/Clipboard%20-% 20February%207%2C%202022%205%2004%20PM%281%29.pngJ'ai pris l'occasion de réarranger et de centrer la fenêtre d'équipement.Celle-ci vous donne encore plus d'informations.https://app.ryzom.com/app_web_assets/assets/694863/Clipboard%20-% 20February%207%2C%202022%205%2006%20PM%281%29.png(Notez que dans la deuxième capture d'écran, la fenêtre d'équipement n'est pas à jour).Je pense avoir fait le tour, y a t-il des questions ?
Passons donc au dernier sujet.Avant le vrai dernier sujet.La storyline va reprendre son cours et apporter aussi de la nouveauté gameplay.En termes de contenu haut niveau, comme c'est la storyline je n'en dis pas plus.Mais il faudra se bouger pour avoir les meilleurs composants pour les meilleurs enchantements éphèmeres.Et aussi remplir ses poches de potions de combat qui ne vous demandent pas de vous assoir.Bref, les prochains patchs seront surtout axés contenu comme vous pouvez le voir.Ils seront étalés le long des prochaines semaines et pour que ce soit plus simple pour nous.N'oubliez pas la section idées, que nous essayerons de maintenir à jour et si vous souhaitez aider et bien,Tamarea va vous dire comment faire.

Indeed, it was long the arrival of these tokens !And yes, there is some scam as in all wheels !Nevertheless, we hope that the arrival of new outfits and weapons has whetted your appetite !Because the goal is obviously to be able to continue to add more, and to the wheel, but also in other types of gameplay.For those who didn't see it (I forgot to put it up in the patch note) but the NPC next to the wheel offers you to exchange your gifts for tickets.And the tickets for supreme tokens. So, if you have too many wigs, no worries, he'll be happy to take them back.Are there any questions ?
Let's talk about OP refactoring.Well, as Silan refactoring is about to go into translation (and final testing), as the wheel has had its share of gifts, as the New Ticket System is also being tested.Well, good news, I'm full time on OP Refactoring !So in about a month, things will be moving.I will just remind you of the major changes that were validated by the working group.When the server is rebooted, there will be :- Deletion of materials 50 and 100, to keep only 150 and more.- Rotation of materials in quality and type.Basically, an outpost may not give the same type of material, nor the same quality.However, an outpost 50 will yield much less material than an outpost 250.Once the outpost is conquered.
The clock is ticking and it's time to move on to the last topic.We will put ''OP refactoring'' back on the agenda for the next meeting.So let's talk about recruitment.EVENT TEAM :We are looking for volunteers who want to help write event scripts, or who want to become actors by playing a character in the events we play.The training is assured, and the entry in the acting is done very gradually to leave time to the recruit to take its marks.Join us to benefit from this unique experience!To apply, contact Tamarea exclusively at tamarea@ryzom.comSUPPORT TEAM :We are also looking for volunteers to join the support team to help players in various ways :- Computer and technical assistance, bug handling, role of tester on the test server, ensuring compliance with the game rules.To learn more, please see this post : https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/22047/2 #2.To apply, contact Tamarea exclusively at tamarea@ryzom.comTEAM TRANSLATION :We are looking for volunteers to translate and proofread in-game texts and official announcements in the languages of the game, as well as to proofread texts in these five languages.Even if you don't have a lot of time to offer, your help is welcome !To apply, contact Tamarea exclusively at tamarea@ryzom.comTEST TEAM :Our Devs prepare regular patches, and it is thanks to the crucial role of testers that they can arrive on Atys with very few bugs.That's why we're looking for volunteers who want to give some of their time to help with bugs and test new features under development.You will be able to help according to your availability and choose freely the tests you want to participate in.If you have any questions about recruitment, you can also contact me on chat.ryzom, I will be happy to answer them!That was the last topic for today !Thanks to all, and good game on Atys !

#272 Added by Nilstilar 2 years ago
Considering the way the first cycle is going, we have already decided to reduce the length of the bidding period from two weeks to one week as of the next rotation of materials.But we are still curious to know the thoughts and suggestions that this first experience has inspired to you, the practitioners. The floor is yours, then!
And let's move on: any questions, feedback, proposals about Boss Refactoring?
In the next few days we will implement the new Rywards window intended to replace the display of the objects constituting the furniture of the apartments. It has been tested and only remains to write and distribute the announcement presenting it.As soon as it is implemented, new objects will be available and new possibilities will be offered to apartment owners. Namely: purchase of furniture previously reserved for players of other nations and conversion of their duplicates and other unwanted items into tickets that can be exchanged for new ones.Your further ideas for furniture enrichment will be welcome!
The new beginners' isle is now in test on Gingo (so its implementation should not wait too long) and includes :• some pages enriching the creation of the character by allowing to indicate briefly its tastes and its background;• a new tutorial area (already in place but empty for the time being);• a dynamic tutorial organized in lessons explaining the basic gameplay;• ... and still the sleeping lady (but she doesn't snore anymore... phew).Other tutorials will be added later (and I'd be happy to have help for their design :D ).So you'll soon be able to create an "alt" to test all this.
I have been inactive for a while, but I am happy to announce that I have resumed work on the next "Quality of Life" patch.This patch will be implemented in mid-July (estimate) and will include three major changes:• Adding of pockets• Refactoring of the Equipment window• Refactoring of equipable items groups (part 1)Since we have already talked about them extensively in previous meetings, I'll skip over the pockets.As far as the Equipment window is concerned, the whole user interface has been revisited and its content (enriched with pockets, therefore) is now adaptable according to its size.The management of groups of equipable objects is a bit problematic today. The user interface is bad: everything is controlled through / commands and the SysInfo window. The problem will be solved by two patches:• the first one (mid-July, thus) will allow the player to create, display and delete groups of items via the game UI (but the / commands will remain operational, so optional use);• the second one will go deeper and allow the player to modify the content of the groups directly in the Equipment window enriched for this purpose with checkboxes.As usual, this QoL patch contains many bug fixes and small features that I won't detail one by one. But be aware that applying it will allow you to open (finally!) the exit dialog box by simply pressing the Escape key!To finish, if you want to follow the progress of the patch in a more detailed way, here is the link to the GitLab milestone that reports on it.
Lately, we've been putting two big projects into play: the OP and the Boss refactorings. Coming soon will be our third big project, Silan Refactoring. Behind each of these three projects, but also behind each new feature, each improvement of the game, each event played, each technical help brought to a player, there is not the work of one person, but the work of a whole team of devoted and passionate volunteers who give of their knowledge and their time, according to their possibilities, to allow Ryzom to evolve as it does today.And for that, I thank them.If you too have some time that you would like to devote to help them behind the scenes to make the game move forward, you can contact me on chat.ryzom or by email at tamarea@ryzom.com, and we will see together which team would suit you best and which you could join: Development, Communication & Marketing, Event, Game-Design, Computer Graphics, Level-design, Lore, Support, Testing, Translation & Proofreading. The choice is vast!If you prefer to help out by joining a group working specifically on a project, that's also possible. For example, at the moment, OP Refactoring and Silan Refactoring projects.Feel free to contact me for more information!
