I have no idea what any of that means but +1 anyway because it sure sounds helpful!

That seems strange. Is there a chance you had blackout? To specify, are you not seeing the person flinging at all, or is there some sort of secondary effect message missing?

There's a bug in the system from a few months ago about this. It happens randomly and inconsistently, but the 3rd person messages get eaten. You don't see the actual fling. I was all yelling at people to stop standing there and fight and they were like we are O.o

@Keroc‌ @Oleis

Have tarot's fling and mentis' dwhisper messages 3p been changed? We were just testing and Ilyon says he has a log from ~5 days ago where the Tarot lines are visible, but now they aren't after some recent changes.

Tarot has invisible 3rd person messages if you're cloaked. I think some skills of necromancy do this too, but I'm not entirely sure offhand. Mentis whispers have never had a 3rd person message as far as I remember.

No bugs, just turn off shroud and they'll show.

As a side note, Tarot Fling and Mentis are both basically getting rewritten in the next week or so for liaisons and a later release.

No, we checked earlier, bro. We tested on Ilyon and they tested by hitting me. Neither Tarot nor Dwhisper are giving combat messages. If you guys are gonna change'em that soon, though, I can do without 3p/combat messages for a week or so though

Areka

Are the new artifacts for the promotion only?

I wanted to gift the translocator to Lucus but I can't afford 400+ realbucks, even then to just have it bound to me.

@Oleis I noticed the Tarot one happening for past few days too without blackout..

Last night (think it was) watching Ishin fight Cron and I was in phase.. I didnt see Ishins tarot throws was wondering how Adder kept hitting

Yeah there's no 3p lines right now, so all you'll see is Adder. Cronides should still see the flings though, I didn't notice any discrepancies from 1p PoV.

@Admin @Oleis @anyone!

Why when we get a bug message it comes up like...

"Bug #1234 and any potential children have been resolved with the following message:

,, potential Children? Who did I knock up?

Obyn

@Nalor Potential children refers to the fact that we can and do merge bugs when there are multiple instances of the bug being reported. That way, instead of having somewhere between 2 and 50 instances of a bug sitting taunting us, we only have 1 bug.

Nalor

Aye, I gathered that the whole children part throws me every time!! @Obyn

Jensen

Did we recently remove the ab's for all the chivalry skills? Because godamnit

Nalor

@Oleis @obyn @Trigru‌

So, Who broke Xaanhal as its no longer mapped? The ingame mapper that is?

Heavily patrolled stretch of unforgiving rock.
This room has not been mapped.

.... It normally has a map but for past few days it hasn't I figured you guys was just working on it but thought to ask

Oleis

Please be more aware of the tone of your posts and messages. 

There is a conflict between our instance mapping code and the shared IRE code. Our fixing this is delayed by some company-wide updates, which have themselves be delayed. If there are no further hurdles, we should hopefully have things patched back up over the weekend.

Think he was talking to @nalor. Lost in translation, maybe!

It was a JOKE, dont people on Aetolia know what a joke is anymore?

I was just making whoever aware that its broke since I guessed this would be faster then bugging so novices can still move around since its not just the instance which was having map issues..

Trigru

You have a tendency to link the names of multiple Admin and you're often a bit abrasive in your description of issues. I'm aware it's a joke, but it gets tiring to read after the umpteenth time.

Thought I answered you earlier. Chivalry AB removal was my mistake. Didn't realize we had active Paladins. I'll see if I can find my backup of the messages.

Jensen

You have no idea how thankful I am

Rashar

or the rest of us that have to listen to him complain about not having ab files.

Ishin

Will the new conflict mechanic be coming out soon?

Can we have landmarks back in the meantime?

How about the war system?

I really feel like the PK scene is stagnating pretty hard in Aetolia. I try to keep my peoples interested, but without some kind of conflict system to point at and tell them 'This is why we train'(Oh, sup Shadowbound), it's really hard to motivate people who WANT to PK to actually learn Aetolia's stuff and PK.

Olli came to me the other day and I gave him a hip-pocket class on how he could be useful at lessers as a Syssin. Kid's 30% of my might. Tri-trans and not much else. Came away from the next lesser with somewhere between 6 or 8 kills from putting what I taught him to use. The best part? Kid wasn't even in our web to listen to target calling or aff calling. He just paid attention. Do you guys even know what I could do with someone like that if we had a legit combat conflict system in place?

WTB please, because shit is deader than dead around here most of the time.

Gwenith

With the Aalen no longer and the Bloodwood taking it's place, will we every get Belakai's garden back? And what happened to Sepal the Anthousai?

Daegon

You know what I hate worse then things decaying while I'm busy working and can't log in. It's my system malfunctioning as soon as I log in.

Somethings I was able to figure out was just my own fault, leaving code half done before walking away from Mudlet. Other things are interestingly not working anymore. Like my chat capture. I have it, or rather had it, running off gmcp.Comm stuff. But now it's not working.... Is the Comm stuff moved? Or is my system just gimping out?

Daegon

Oh, and I'm back btw. >.>

Nalor

@Daegon I use GMcp.comm for chat capturing in mudlet and have no issues.. I also use it in the system I sell and no one has complained

Oleis

As @Ishin mentioned in another thread (slipping my mind which, possibly Entropy), systems that rely on login triggers will have trouble with the updates to Rapture, as we have a new version number and a new way of handling colors. I think he recommended triggering "Last login was from domain: *" to fire your login routines.

This is relevant because one of the most common login actions is sending "supports gmcp.Comm" to Aetolia, which enables the functionality you're missing.

ETA: Yep. Start with this post. @Xenia has a really helpful screenshot to reference a few posts down the page if you're confused about implementation.

Daegon

Bazinga. Thank you both. Was the login trigger.

Soo, Whats this hitting through phased?

Ezalor's body quivers as the blood soaks into the gland and begins to smolder in his grasp with
unseen heat. Slowly, black smoke rises from his palms and suddenly engulfs you in the deadly fumes.
You cannot help but suddenly gasp in surprise, drawing the smoke into your lungs where a blazing
rune of blood appears searingly upon your chest.
-- prompt goes here ---
The rune upon your body suddenly fades to black and sinks into your flesh. Suddenly rippling torment
rattles through your body, shifting and warping your soul leaving you weak and drained.
Mana Lost: 423

It's one of the Bloodborn rituals. I don't believe it's the one where you begin to share afflictions even though the messages look similar. I want to say it's the one where they can activate regardless of where you are so long as you're in the area to nuke a portion of your mana if they have your blood.
