OP site update (Feb 2016)
February 2016
edited February 2016
Feb 10 update: There was some data corruption which occurred when we loaded in the fixes for the PC/NPC header custom color/hide update. This resulted in some wiki pages generating "500 error" messages. Techs have fixed it, so there should not…

Abandonware for Fighting Fantasy-type gamebooks
February 2016
Great to hear! I learnt most of my writing stuff from reading Piers Anthony's "Incarnations of Immortality" series when I was 7. Although reading about the protagonist, the Blue Adept, making out with Neysa the shapeshifting pegasus/woman confus…

FYI, I spoke to twiggy about how we can revamp/renew the badge system, and more hands will help move the project along faster. If you're keen to help out, drop "twiggyleaf":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/account.php?u=22935 a PM and help shape …

Updates: 1) Character name generator is in for orcs and elves. Note that there is a male/female toggle and we have different prefixes/suffixes for each gender. Kudos for wolfhound on sharing his game data and helping us put the logic together. Acce…

The Wiki Edit Page Hangup Issue (And Rant About How OP Is Handling It)
February 2016
^ What he said. I've not seen it on a raw data level, but I'd imagine that each campaign is a self-contained entry within mongo DB, so it's not a mySQL DB, so there is some special TLC that needs to go into it. OP is like a big CMS, more simil…

DST Adoption Drive
February 2016
Side note: We want to go back to the old days of recognizing work going into DSTs, so I'll talk to Chainsaw about this and we'll work out some possible permutation of: 1) ascendant time 2) badges 3) other swag (virtual or physical) for work do…

We had the techs spend 2 days trying to replicate the issue, but they had difficulty reproducing it. If it occurs again, I'll flag it as a priority issue for them to work through.

@Tau - We def want to help you resolve this. Here's my point of view: I spoke to Aaron about this. We tried to replicate the issue with other campaigns but were unable to. So our diagnosis was that there is a permutation of campaign-speci…

We're working on the following updates to event dates: 1) Being able to manually enter dates, so you could put 2025 or 2500 if you'd like. We seem to have an issue working out dates beyond 3000 AD, without having a tech working on it for a big ch…

"OP has known about this issue since at least July of 2014 and not been able to diagnose what Chainsaw did in a few hours" To clarify a couple of points: 1) OP was under different management then, I would have tried to do something about it then…

@Tau - we are aware of the issue and it is in the tech fix queue. At the moment we're on a tight schedule to get the kickstarter stretch goals out the door as they've been pending since 2013. We will get to the issue you're facing. There's 10…

@Niniel - hmm, sounds like you're running a Shadowrun / Pokemon hybrid campaign? Maybe it's time to launch the 'Ascendant membership gifting' feature that was about 80% done when I took over the project... How soon is your birthday?

Featured Campaign of the Month

Here is a suggestion. Rather than have OP staff come up with badges with input from the community. I think it might be good to have a small group focused on brainstorming badges that make sense for the community, as well as maybe some funny on…

@killervp --- "Reply" within the personal messaging system now replicates the message stream, instead of a blank page, so you can continue a somewhat threaded conversation and don't lose message history.

Or possibly bronze, silver, gold color variants? We'll do testing to see what works, this is in planning for now, as we figure out if there's a simpler way to load badges onto profiles.

Thanks for necro-ing this thread. We'll plan it into our badge planning. I believe the situation with badges was that it was manually coded into each player's profile on a command-line level (unless we come across a OP user badge admin panel).…
