Paragon Chat 0.99i Beta!

[Codewalker]

Random question

How often are the "big" updates (such as adding travel powers, base building options, etc. Not daily hotfixes) going to be put out? Are they on a targeted schedule or completely at random?

Given that the whole thing is a volunteer project that people are doing in their spare time (such as it is), the answer to that is: When they're done.

Which, to quote the development roadmap, is between "sometime" and "whenever".

I have no problem with that, considering what you have already given us..thank you a quadrabazillion times infinity!!!!

[Solitaire]

Doing a great job folks, we understand that it takes time for things to be fixed/added so do it at your speed (Don't forget to take breaks) we will still be here waiting, as we have been for nearly 3 years. I for one am just happy to be able to enter the game and see my friends again online in the City/Isles we love.

[Pengy]

Ok so it auto-places them as heroes or villains, respectively?

Yeah.

And CW will respond by nerfing regen.

And Accuracy.

[Vr2Lrose]

Great job is an understatement, Ive seen mmos take years to do what leo and CW have done in a week as far as bug fixes go. And with much nicer attitudes. Paragon chat is amazing on so many levels.

There's a delay between when Codewalker makes an update, and when Leandro actually sees it and updates the manifest for Tequila. Leandro's not just sitting at his computer all day hitting F5 over and over to see if Codewalker released version 0.9759374g after all...

Edit: If you don't want to wait, download it manually from the link in the first post and drop it into your install folder, and launch it directly instead of through Tequila.

To be clear, not a complaint about the .97e not loading, just noting it at the time.

Curious, is there a place we can view the actual development roadmap?  It would be nice to think of what's coming.

Well, you could always read the development roadmap stickied thread...

Perhaps I could be blind, too.  *facepalm*

It almost sounds like all these invisibility issues are 'bugging' CodeWalker...

[shadowcatkevin]

its not letting me login, I keep getting a "Cannot connect to DBserver" error, what am I doing wrong, running Windows 7

[Leandro]

shadowcatkelvin: you aren't closing the Paragon Chat login window after starting the game, right?

[Fulgin]

Say, Codewalker, not sure what you did with 0.97e, but suddenly the game runs much smoother on the Mac client.  Before it was taking a long time to zone and load maps...now it's happening almost instantly.

puts head in hands and just loudly says DOH!!!! my apologies for being really dumb

One unusual bug I've run into (forgive me if I missed it posted elsewhere): When I created my namesake, I loaded up a .costume file that contained a couple of veteran award costume pieces (the boxer shoes and champion belt), and the costume came in and worked just fine. However, when I went to the tailor to add a second costume, I got an error that these pieces weren't available to me. I couldn't select them from their respective pulldowns, nor could I load up a .costume file that included them without getting an error.

So, for some reason, it would let me use these pieces when I originally created my hero, but not during any subsequent tailor sessions. A bit wonky, so I thought I'd just bring it up.

I can confirm that the latest update fixes the costume weirdness I was experiencing.

Version 0.97f Beta

• New config file "string.cfg" includes missing P-Strings for many NPC names. This allows them to spawn in the map, and you can override the names (locally) by editing this file.
• Will strongly warn if you try to close Paragon Chat while the City of Heroes client is running. Fixes "Cannot Connect to DBserver" for those who were closing Paragon Chat as soon as the game opened.

Thank You for all the recent hard work, Paragon Chat Team!!!

Seriously, I know we say thank you, but I wonder if you know how important this platform has become to us in just a few days, and how much we appreciate your labour on it!

[Thunder Glove]

This is simply not working for me.  I'm using the Mac client, I have I24, I have the latest version of paragonchat.exe in the coh directory, but when I hit the Play button on Island Rum, absolutely nothing happens.  The client opens, but no windows open in the client.  There's no error message, the client doesn't freeze or crash, it just does nothing.

I'm baffled.  Did I miss a step installing it, or something?

[Leandro]

Can't help with Mac issues, sorry. Talk to Manga. I have never touched a Mac.

It seems that Codewalker is knocking out the patches at a fair clip already!

I think we'll have made 'some' progress down that 'timeline of milestones' come the 3rd anniversary of Coh's closure.

Paragon Chat has only been 'open' a week!  And already a whirlwind of updates.

I think 'Score' are doing the right thing by getting 'something' out there.  Putting a timeline of rough progress to be expected (*managing the project expectations...) and given the community the 'rebirth' piece by piece.  Jigsaw piece by...

Great work so far.  So unreal to be in Atlas chatting to fellow luminaries.

It's so surreal.

I count the game as 'back' because we can meet and greet via the chat window.  We have a server!

Azrael.
