#261 Added by Nilstilar 3 years ago
Je vais revenir sur l'année 2021, qui as été l'année de la consolidation si l'on peut dire.Nous avons en effet mis à jour pas mal de choses, d'une part les serveurs, le webIG et le code du client (avec la fusion du code de Ryzom Core 4), mais également le processus de compilation qui se base maintenant sur Visual C++ 2019 pour Windows. De plus un outil, Hunter, a été mis en place par Nimetu (RT) pour compiler plus facilement tout l'ensemble.Au-delà des outils, l'année écoulée a aussi vu l'équipe des développeurs mettre à jour sa façon de travailler : nous utilisons désormais d'avantage gitlab pour les bogues, la communication et la gestion des patchs et nous en sommes très satisfaits… À se demander pourquoi ne pas l'avoir fait plus tôt ! Il reste une dernière chose à faire : réunir nos dépôts serveur et data client avec le dépôt ryzom-core, ceci afin de rendre le processus de développement encore plus simple.Nous avons également travaillé enrichir notre collection de systèmes génériques ou basés sur des modèles. C'est le cas, par exemple, des « shops » qui sont de plus en plus (et seront par la suite massivement) utilisés pour mettre à disposition des objets ou des services en jeu (par exemple les achats en Elyps, que ce soit auprès des marchands des Nations, des palefreniers ou des PNJ graveurs d'Allégories). C'est le cas également des Leçons qui sont la base de l'information transmise en jeu aux joueurs, ainsi que, enfin, de la fenêtre Encyclopédie (ctrl+E) qui regroupe les Missions journalières, la Storyline, le futur tutoriel et, depuis peu, les titres, qui tous se basent (ou se baseront) sur le même modèle.De ce fait, nous avons (et aurons) moins de systèmes à maintenir, donc moins de bogues et nous pourrons concentrer nos efforts sur trois tâches principalement. À savoir :• l'achèvement des trois projets de refonte (Silan, Rois, Avant-postes) ;• la poursuite la Storyline et l'ajout de contenus encore à achever (Jetons suprêmes, par exemple) ;• la correction des bogues et l'amélioration du client (l'année 2022 commencera d'ailleurs par un patch – actuellement en test – illustrant ce point).
Comme Ulukyn l'a mentionné, l'un de nos objectifs pour 2022 est d'améliorer l'expérience des joueurs en corrigeant les bugs ou en améliorant le client. C'est exactement ce que fera le premier patch de janvier.Le premier changement apporté concerne le système d'échange entre personnages joueurs. Plus généralement, nous avons essayé d'améliorer le déroulement des échanges d'objets, car actuellement, ce n'est pas le meilleur. En plus de modifier et de simplifier la disposition de la fenêtre d'échange, nous avons ajouté deux emplacements supplémentaires pour les objets. Ce sont principalement les échanges de parures qui nous ont conduit à ce dernier changement.Un autre changement que nous avons apporté à la fenêtre d'échange des joueurs est la possibilité de glisser et déposer des objets dans la fenêtre en question depuis tous vos inventaires. Ainsi, si vous voulez échanger des objets transportés par votre Zig, vous n'aurez plus besoin de les transférer d'abord dans votre sac, donc d'interrompre l'échange pour le compléter ensuite. Remarque : afin de ne pas encombrer la fenêtre de sélection des objets, celle-ci ne vous montrera pas les objets des autres inventaires et cette fonction n'opèrera que par glisser-déposer.La dernière modification apportée à la fenêtre d'échange présentée à chacun des joueurs est l'ajout d'indicateurs de volume et de poids des objets. En fait, un petit indicateur (semblable à celui qui se trouve en haut à droite de vos inventaires) vous sera affiché à côté des deux offres, qui indiquera le poids et le volume des objets donnés et reçus. Tout ceci dans l'espoir de rendre les échanges un peu plus fluides.Ensuite, l'empilement d'objets. Quiconque a combattu en PvP connaît la sensation d'un inventaire encombré de sorts cristallisés. Désormais, les sorts cristallisés de la même stanza (ou d'une stanza identique) s'empilent automatiquement dans l'inventaire où ils sont stockés. Le même encombrement se produisant actuellement dans le sac des artisans au travail, les objets produits identiques s'empileront désormais automatiquement dans l'inventaire.Des questions jusqu'à présent ?
Passons aux corrections.Je dois dire que ce patch est assez gros et que je passe donc sous silence certains petits détails. Vous aurez la surprise lorsque la patchnote sera publiée !Nous avons beaucoup de corrections dans ce patch, notamment concernant les Zigs :• correction du bogue qui leur donnait un statut erroné lorsqu'ils étaient hébergés en sac ;• ajout de leurs inventaires en onglets dans les fenêtres commerciales des PNJ marchands ;• ajout de la possibilité de transfert direct des objets de leur inventaire vers celui de votre appartement et vers celui du hall de votre guilde ;• correction du dysfonctionnement du verrouillage/déverrouillage des objets de leur inventaire.À ce propos, les statuts de verrouillage des objets s'afficheront désormais dans l'inventaire de l'appartement et celui du hall de votre guilde.Des questions ?
J'ai refait le tutoriel après plusieurs avis des premiers testeurs, et il est maintenant plus intuitif et interactif. Les avis sur le deux premières Leçons sont plutôt positifs. Je poursuis donc et j'espère qu'il aidera vraiment les nouveaux joueurs à prendre leurs marques.J'en profite pour rappeler que l'équipe de test recrute. Donc, si vous souhaitez tester soit le patch implémentant les ajouts au client, soit les premières leçons du tutoriel, vous êtes les bienvenus.
La refonte des Rois sera prochainement appliquée à l'ensemble d'Atys. Toutefois, le chantier est destiné à se prolonger, même si nous n'avons pas encore établi précisément sur quoi nous allons travailler. Mais nous aimerions beaucoup faire de la chasse aux Rois une activité des plus fun sur Ryzom.Une des idées évoquées parmi nous, pour que les talents tactiques des joueurs puissent s'épanouir et qu'ils échappent à la routine, est celle qui doterait chacun des Rois actuels d'une mécanique de défense propre. C'est l'idée qui est en fait à l'origine de ce projet de refonte… et de son nom initial : « Boss in the Box ».Si vous avez d'autres idées, n'hésitez pas à les poster au forum à la suite du compte-rendu de la réunion.Des questions ?
Nous avons pu avancer sur le GvG, mais son introduction ne nous semble intéressante que si elle s'accompagne des changements prévus sur tous les Avant-postes.C'est pourquoi nous envisageons de faire plusieurs changements en même temps. À savoir :• réduction de la durée des batailles à une heure (déjà testée au Nexus) ;• rotation des matières premières produites par chaque avant-poste tous les N jours (à déterminer), via redémarrage du serveur ;• suppression de la production de matières premières de qualités 50 et 100 ;• ajout de quatre Avant-postes dans les régions de niveau 50 pour test des batailles en GvG.À la suite de quoi un autre patch viendra implémenter les dernières modifications, vu que le projet a bien avancé grâce aux tests en vraie grandeur sur le serveur Atys. Des questions ?

So I'm going to talk about the Rywards store which will replace Rykea and the Ryzhome section of the special bag (there are some Ry xD).Here is a screenshot : https://app.ryzom.com/app_web_assets/assets/694863/Clipboard%20-% 207%20f%C3%A9vrier%202022%2021%2043%281%29.png.So it is a new page in the shift + E window.There will be at the same time a list of apartment items classified according to the categories already known via the titles but also collections to complete.Each completed collection gives rise to a unique reward (always from an apartment).There will also be the list of items already obtained with a 3D preview.And information about the number of items in our possession (so duplicates) and how many are in the apartment.
The other particularity of the store is that you will be able to know what you need to get each item.Sometimes (as on the screenshot) they will only be available in gain via the wheel.Sometimes as a special event.And other times it will be indicated which type of ticket is necessary.Rywards tickets being the most common and generic, they will allow you to buy many items, especially those of other nations.With sometimes different colors or textures.Finally, if you have duplicates, you will be able to convert them into Rywards tickets and thus buy items of your choice.Thus, getting duplicates at the wheel, allows you to convert them into Rywards tickets which then allows you to buy items.Later on, other rewards will be added to the store.Such as wigs, outfits or other purely aesthetic items.We are following different tracks to add cool cosmetic things, like new afk FX, animations, etc ...Are there any questions, suggestions, remarks ?
Let's go to the next part which concerns Ryzhome and therefore the apartments.And I will be able to give the proposal of addition.The idea is to be able to make apartment configurations.And thus to be able to have several item configurations and to choose the one you want to display.For example a configuration could contain all the Christmas items.Another one of Anlor Winn's.
Finally it will be possible to give items to your guild for the decoration of the guild hall.And thus ... You will have to fill.Any questions ?If no questions, let's move on.But first, a little clarification, it will also be possible with Rywards Tickets to buy supreme tokens for the wheel.This is quite timely as they will be added soon.The tokens will allow to win a reward for sure, but obviously, some will be rarer than others.But the supreme tokens can also be used to buy Rywards tickets, thus making a cycle.You will then have the choice between playing supreme tokens on the wheel and winning a sure reward, but not necessarily the one you want.Or convert the tokens into a Ryward ticket and offer you a reward of your choice.Thus the rewards will no longer be systematically pure chance.Moreover, in the same way as the apartment items, the duplicates of the items won in the wheel can be converted.So pieces of zig or mount, wigs, etc ... Do not throw them away, recycle, it's good for Atys !If you have gift ideas, we are always happy to receive suggestions.And if you do a little 3D with blender, we can help you to integrate items in the game (under CC-by-SA license with credits to your name or username if you wish).Any questions ?And if no question, we move on.We have just talked about aesthetic rewards, we also have planned more gameplay content.Starting with the ephemeral enchantments.These are enchanted spells that can only be obtained from NPCs or buildings.They can be stacked and will take the same space as the current ones.When a weapon is enchanted with an ephemeral enchantment, the weapon is fully charged with sap.And can no longer be recharged.With each use of the ephemeral enchantment, the charge in sap will decrease without being able to be recharged.Once the weapon's charge is insufficient to use the enchantment, it disappears.Thus, let's take the example of an ephemeral enchantment that consumes 300 of sap.It is applied on a weapon that can have a maximum of 1000 of sap.The weapon is fully recharged, so at 1000.You can then use the enchantment 3 times.There is then only 100 of sap left, the enchantment disappears.The 100 of sap remain.
Ephemeral enchantments will be either passive or active.Active, it will be necessary to throw them as the current enchantments and will consume of the sap load with each use.These are not necessarily only spells that we know, but it can also be a mini aura, an area effect, there is no real technical limitation.Passive, they will activate themselves each time the weapon is used, like the effects of Tekorn or Vedice.Moreover, an ephemeral enchantment will temporarily replace the effect of the weapon.The temporary effects of their operation can be very powerful (but very expensive in sap load and thus limited in their use).Moreover, the more powerful they are, the harder they will be to obtain.
Currently, consuming items can be quite frustrating.I am thinking in particular of the switch of enchantments or the constant sap recharge in PvP.In short, it hurts the hand.We have evaluated several suggestions to solve the problem.Today, I present the solution that we consider to be optimal.The item bar.Basically, it's a new inventory consisting of 5 slots.You can put consumable items, such as potions, larvae, etc.As well as sap recharges or enchantments.The slots will be displayed in the current equipment window and in its own window (if you want to display it).There will be configurable keyboard shortcuts for each slot of the bar (to consume/use the item) and the item bar will be integrated with the current item group system.Here is a screenshot of the draft I am working on.https://app.ryzom.com/app_web_assets/assets/694863/Clipboard%20-% 20February%207%2C%202022%205%2004%20PM%281%29.pngI took the opportunity to rearrange and center the equipment window.This one gives you even more information.https://app.ryzom.com/app_web_assets/assets/694863/Clipboard%20-% 20February%207%2C%202022%205%2006%20PM%281%29.png(Note that in the second screenshot, the equipment window is not up to date).I think I have done the tour, are there any questions ?
Let's move on to the last topic.Before the real last topic.The storyline will resume its course and also bring new gameplay.In terms of high level content, as it is the storyline I do not tell more.But it will be necessary to hurry to have the best components for the best ephemeral enchantments.And also fill ours pockets with combat potions that do not require you to sit down.In short, the next patches will be mostly focused on content as you can see.They will be spread out over the next few weeks and to make it easier for us.Don't forget the ideas section, which we will try to keep updated and if you want to help, well,Tamarea will tell you how.
Yes, indeed I will talk about recruitment !Specifically for the Event, Support and Translation teams.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 support : help to make the game work properly on Windows, Linux or Mac;- Technical support : answering questions about the client's use and gameplay issues;- Bug handling : help players facing a bug, check the bugs reported by the ticket system and then forward them to the Development team;- Role of tester on the test server;- Ensures that the rules of the game are respected;- Moderation of discussion channels, forums and any other media used by Ryzom.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.comTranslation Team :Finally, we are looking for volunteers to translate in-game texts and official announcements into English, German, Spanish, Russian, French, and to proofread texts inthese five languages.To apply, contact Tamarea exclusively at tamarea@ryzom.comIf 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 !

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 !

Well, when you have to start !I give again here the topic on the forum : https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/32134/1 &post206409=en#1.I will quickly summarize.So last Monday there was a rotation of the OP materials and 50% of the OP were taken by tribes.So we don't know what materials the OP of the tribes produce, but the guilds that still have an OP could see their new material and the new Q, which can only be 150 200 or 250.At the same time, the betting system to obtain the right to attack in preview one of the OP of the tribes has been implemented.Do you have any questions ?
Next topic : Offer a subscription.Last month I published a poll about "be able to gift a subscription to a friend": https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/32084/1 &post206156=en#1As nearly all the players who answered voted for it, we'll add it !So you'll have soon the ability to offer a subscription to another player.Next topic ?Activate DeepL in more ingame channels.We are testing the extend of DeepL to new channels : Leagues, Teams and Factions (Kara, Kami, Marauder, Ranger, Matis, Fyros, Tryker, Zoraï).We hope you'll enjoy the feature !Last topic ?We are looking for volunteers for different teams : event, support, translation, testing.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.comTRANSLATION TEAM :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 (Tamarea) on chat.ryzom, I'll be happy to answer them !

#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!
