  1. what cass is saying is that this is expected behavior. being able to freehand resize the window overwrites the functionality to have it full screen as defined in the options (which is probably a net gain anyway since the full screen size option in the normal enginehas some jank to it, such as crashing on soft resets)

    sorry though, i know that might be a disappointing change for you.

    Out of curiosity, how long was it?

    it was about a year and a half for E16 (from ciel to adrienn). rebuilding the entire city + lake area was a lot. i always knew 16 would take forever, and i always knew 19 would be even longer. and here we are.
    related: i hate it.

  3. It's been brought to my attention that this is specifically using an early access patreon build of this program, which is expected to release publicly soon. Since the main version is already available and free we aren't planning to take down the links or anything but please consider supporting the app developer here!

  4. Hi folks, sorry to be the rain on the parade but one of Uranium's community admins contacted me asking to have the debug link for their project removed. I believe it's their right to ask for that, so I've gone ahead and complied. In the future, please don't post the link to debugged Uranium within our community anymore. Thanks for understanding. 

     

    Edit: Sardonyx's developers have asked for the same.

    I apologize in advance if this is the wrong topic to post my inquiry in, but for some reason I keep getting logged out of my profile on its own, only to get an error message whenever I try to log back in. It got to the point where I had to reset my password several times just so I could post this. If there's a way it can be fixed, I will be very grateful for it.

    interesting, this is basically the error that was supposed to be fixed, and someone else said it was... just in case, have you tried clearing your cookies/cache for this site?

  6. it has been 15 years since i started running a website and i still have not figured out how to spell maintenance without spellcheck's help

     

    this weekend's site maintenen-- maintnec-- mainten.. you know what? fuck it.
    i quit.
    for the rest of the post, i'm replacing the word "maintenacnencne" with "flatulence."

    this weekend's site flatulence was necessitated because the evil overlords* who produce the site's forum software kindly informed me that if i wanted to fix literally anything on the site ever i would have to basically yeet the entire server and start over because the old server's equivalent-of-an operating system was incompatible with their product. this is probably all fine and well but i really would like to have been told that at any point before installing said system three years ago and spending no small number hours trying to troubleshoot problems that apparently and inherently had solution
    sigh
    anyway

    this hell flatulence was basically us rebuilding an entirely new server from scratching and taking the old site over and just... pushing it onto the new one. 
    if you can't tell, this was a very painful flatulence for us, and we would prefer not to talk about that part of it too much.

     

    *they're not actually evil im just mad and it's more fun to say that way

     

    so, while you won't actually notice a whole lot of new changes as a result of the flatulence, there are a handful of things that we have reason to believe have been fixed. 
    and i'm going to say this, and i say this knowing how much i jinx myself, because the second i post this this accursed hellsite will almost certainly choose one of these things or something brand new and annoying to break out of the sheer amount of spite it surely houses in its hallowed scripts
    nevertheless

    we are hoping our flatulencehas has fixed the following permanently:

    • log-ins throwing an error message
    • the bug that preventing reactions from working on the dev blog
    • the bug causing users to be logged out when visiting the dev blog and other places
    • maybe some other random things? eh? ehhh???

     

    unfortunately, the flatulence is not without some collateral damage. for instance, you'll notice that some of the URLs of the site have changed. cass and i have had a hard fight and have done our best to make sure that external links to the site will be preserved, and to my knowledge we've done a good job of that! but this is a big site. if you find links pointing to the site or places in it that are newly broken, please let us know! there's a decent chance we can do something about it.

     

    another casualty of the flatulence, unfortunately, is Pokemon Showdown. while we could technically restore it, it would not be a small amount of work and changing IP addresses means we'd have to get Smogon involved on that too. given that our once-bustling server had been reduced to a bit of a ghost town anyway, and was not being properly updated or moderated, we have made the decision to retire it. sorry to the like, two or three people who still used it-- this wasn't planned, but it was probably inevitable. 

     

    we've also taken the opportunity to do some other improvements during the flatulence. most of them are small and hardly worth mentioning, but you will notice that to compliment our now better functioning react system, the options have changed a bit. the old style of emojis have been phased out in favor of the discord-style ones the site already uses, meaning you can now 🤔 at people's posts. 
    and that's what's really important, i think.
    we've also updated the site's home page-- did you know we had a home page? i sure didn't-- with a handful of quick links for both reborn and rejuvenation, so hopefully new users and returning people alike can get around a bit quicker.
    maybe someone will even read the FAQ.
    ...yeah i know, that's silly.

     

    that's about it though. if you haven't already checked the newly-repaired dev blog, i suggest you do so!

    but all that said and done, i will officially draw this long, winding, nightmarish flatulence to a close.

    thanks, everyone, for bearing with us during it.

  8. the format itself is the same, and the descripts are carried over from last year's topics, but there are new and some changed categories. 
    limiting number of wins is something we discussed briefly and might look at in the future, although based on last year there were just a few people who won three awards each, not counting the staff categories, so i don't think it's a huge issue. at the least, we didn't want to make a hasty decision on it so we are trying again as is once more and will consider a limit next year

  9. "epic" 
    more like painful...

     

    anyway yeah the girafarig thing absolutely was that bug, and i think i noticed it with fern's switching as well too.... it hurts, but i'm just glad we found and fixed it

     

    regarding the ace thing, they used to not send in aces until last under any condition but as of e18 i think ??? we made it so that that is now a suggestion rather than a requirement for all battles that do not have a story-specific reason to hold the ace for last (i.e taka or zel defending a PULSE). so they're now discouraged from it, rather than forbidden. it is technically not optimal but i think in the average case it makes a more compelling conclusion to a battle if the final is their ace. 

    as for having two aces, the AI already considers both an 'ace' and a 'second' and the second is also similarly discouraged from switching in earlier-- albeit less than the ace. that behaviour has been in place since we began our AI rework.

  10. Welcome to this year's Super Secret Santa!

    just in case you aren't familiar, Secret Santa is a holiday gig in which a group of people sign up and each one is randomly assigned one other person of the group to buy a present for! Whomever you get a gift from and give a gift to is random, but we'll make sure everyone gets something no matter what. In an attempt to minimize shipping headaches, there will be one group for NA and one for Europe.

     

    First and foremost, there are some stipulations on entering:

    • You must be at least a Veteran on the forums (or better), to reduce the risk of dropped gifts.
    • You must be from NA or Europe. Sorry to folks from other places :c
    • You must be willing to spend real money on this. The suggested budget is around $25 or £/€20
    • You must be willing to share your address with us. Rest assured, it will only be given to the person who is sending you your gift.
    • We will cap out at 10 people per region.

     

    If all that is okay and you are still interested, then read on!

     

    Sign ups will be open until 11/27! 

    In order to sign up, please send me a message here on the forum with the following things:

    • Your region
    • A name that people can ship to
    • A postal address to ship to
    • A wish list of some things or options around the given price range that you would enjoy getting!

    After 11/27 everyone will be assigned their gift-givee, and it's off to the races with y'all.

     

    Just to be sure, I'll ask that everyone sends me a copy of their receipts / orders when shipping things off. If you've provided confirmation that you did send a gift and you somehow do not get a gift, we will personally get you one ourselves instead. No Santa left behind!

    We'd also like to suggest that folks get their gifts shipped out by 12/7! Then, at the Winter Party, everyone can share what things they got and talk about it!

     

    Please feel free to ask any questions in this thread, or privately to me. Otherwise, my DMs are open for sign-ups!
