November Updates
Posted 3 months ago :: Last edited 2 months ago by WesternHauntHello everyone! We've got a bunch of site updates and some news on current bugs. Let's get right into it!
What's new?
Site navigation
Our navigation bar has new dropdown options and a new layout to better organize our pages.
Geno sorting
You can now sort and rearrange your genos!
Folders for imports
Now you can create folders and add your imports to them to better sort your characters! Check out the Primeval Age account for an example. To create/edit/sort your imports, go to your import page. If you view your public import page, you'll need to click "Sort View" in the top right corner to be able to edit the order.
- Sorting within folders currently isn't working; we'll be updating this to work correctly later!
- The public view of your imports currently has a different order than your sorting page; this is a bug that we plan to fix soon as we can
Import profiles
Your character's "profile" information now appears as a main tab under their import image, labelled "Bio". When you edit your import's profile, this information will appear in their bio, making it more easily viewable!
Alternate import views
Imports can now display an "other side" or other alternate view for your import image! This can be used for asymmetrical designs, showing a character without scars/accessories, etc. At the moment, you can only have one "other side" displayed for your import, so choose wisely!
- If your import already has an approved "other side", please submit a claim! If the image already exists on the character, nothing else is needed! If the image is not already uploaded (such as other sides from back on dA), then you will need to provide a link to the image! This also includes "alternate versions" such as the design without scars or etc.!
- If your import does not already have an approved "other side", please submit a design update with a link to the image you want to use for your "other side"!
Loot delivery
Rewards received from quests will now go directly to your user inventory and bank, instead of to your import's inventory. Unfortunately, this means that imports will no longer be able to "hold" most items, but this should make it easier overall since you'll no longer need to manually transfer items from your imports!
- You will still be able to transfer items and currencies that are still in import inventories to your own inventory/bank as needed!
Breeding
- Imports without slots can now be used to preview clutches
- Imports with illegal base colors will now receive an error message preventing them from being submitted for breeding; to fix this, you'll need to submit a claim, and staff will correct the base in the system so that it's legal
- Breeding permission slots now only unlock once an import reaches the adult age stage, so non-adult import breeding permissions are not able to be created (permissions which already exist can be transferred freely, but new ones cannot be created until adulthood now)
Layout
Various layout fixes and adjustments around the site.
Problem Areas
Unfortunately, with the update some bugs have popped up, and not everything is working quite right. We hope to fix all of these things soon!
Breeding
Currently we're dealing with a bug that is adding a chance for clutches to roll 0 offspring. As a precaution, we've closed the clutch queue for the time being to avoid any possible issues, but will be trying to fix this bug ASAP so it can reopen!
Import folders
Previous sorting has been reset, and imports will need to be re-sorted. They will all start out in an "Unsorted" folder.
Additionally, you are currently unable to sort within a folder, and need to sort all imports from the main sorting view to determine their order (even those in folders). We're looking into ways to fix this up and make it work more smoothly!
Other
- A button has been added for searching by markings/genes, but the functionality is not finished yet, so you won't be able to search this way just yet.
- Marking page updates are in progress on site as we transfer all of our genetic info over from the Weebly, but these are still a heavy WIP! Please continue to reference the official marking guide on the Weebly for the time being
We hope you enjoy the new things! As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated with these, so feel free to leave a comment here or on our Discord if you'd like. We apologize for the long maintenance period as well as the bugs; we're doing our best to deal with them as quickly as we can, and will hopefully have things fixed up and working a bit better soon!
