STM Server and Scrum

[wim]

I agree, there really is no silver bullet fix for this.

too bad last names couldn't be more of the deciding factor so people could have the same first name...but then that would cause more possibility for errors in tells and tipping...databases don't like to have two primary keys and for some reason the first name is the primary key in the name database...

STM will eventually replace Nova, like Oru said, it is currently unstable abnd that is to be exacted, but it still needs a lot of stress testing.

I've been poking around the forums and couldn't find the answer to my question.... When will we be able to test STM? And is there anything I or anyone else in the community can do to hurry it along? Thanks.

Atm focus is on stability testing, I'm guessing we will be back to normal testing and bug reporting after STM replaces Nova, no ETA of course.

If you cant code best thing you can do is just logon STM from time to time, try various things and mess around with anything that works. If you can code, you are welcome to apply for a Dev positions.

Yeah, I'm definitely NOT a coder, I'm more of the designer and trouble shooter type... lol. So I'll keep logging into STM to play around.

Sooo what is this exactly, another OR? OR-2? I left 7 months ago and it seems like you're scrapping most of what you had and starting over again... Not promising. All the developerese is starting to get to me too. Can you please just say in plain English for stupid kids like me what this means for the player base?

No, OR code remains the same, pretty much nothing changed there. I think Oru explained it quite well...

This version of the engine brought a lot of major changes in the underlying framework that Core3 is built upon. Core3 is not rewritten in any way, it mostly contains changes in Engine3 and some low level things that need to be changed in Core3. However there is no feature game logic change.

Just a minor update...

[11:22] <%Vlada> STM characters are now saved to database?
[11:32] <@Oru> yeah they should be saved

[Superjebus]

Considering that Nova has been offline for 1 week 5 days 6 hours blah blah blah, and I can log in to the STM server, would I be wrong to asume that Nova has been turned off and replaced with STM?

[Vlada]

Not yet, we will let you know when that happens.

[Morial Tomiras]

cool stuff

[Edmonde]

Thanks again for the hard work guys. For those returning after a few months away I say give it a chance. Whats the worse that happens you play and find something that was here that wasn't months ago. As for how long it takes for the Devs to complete the process...well put this in perspective...it usually takes Developers 3 to 4 years to make a game working full time and overtime while these guys are doing it on their spare time...

[Wilowah]

Keep up the good work, guys! I really appreciate the fact that you guys are working hard to bring back vanilla SWG!

I logged in to the New Player Tutorial on the STM server, and it seemed pretty nice. I did encounter a few bugs, though.

yes, as did I... the tutorial is pretty awesome! And will that pesky blue frog/toad still be there?
