Apparently there's only one with source-access, and he's busy with life.

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

Think it was Xan? Not sure. Just remember them saying in chat they need to do some client updates, but the client-dev doesn't want to share the source, so they can't do updates to it, only server-side.

Shane is our Client DEV. Xanatus and ThuGie are Server DEVs.

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

It seems recent Windows Updates caused us some technical issues on one of our servers recently, which are affecting the Admin Team's abilities to work on website or database-related tasks. For this reason, we will have to delay dealing with Token Issues, fixing Playerdex glitches and similar activities until further notice. The PWO Staff would like to apologise for all inconveniences caused.

By the way, thanks to everyone who wished me Easter Greetings over the last 24 hours. That was very thoughtful of you all.

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

I think I have said it before, but I think you are the most devoted person here on PWO and im glad they have you as their resource.

A few things I wonder in general,

* Why was Dusk Stone not added seeing how Sun Stone was added?

* Do you know when Shane will come back to full work or is he dead?

* Last time I spoke to you, a few months ago, you mentioned that there was a new big client update that would affect all movesets. How far into that process are you done?


Regardless of what those process are, thanks for making this game so awesome! ^-^

Sun Stone was introduced in the second Generation, Dusk Stone was the fourth. PWO does not yet properly support Gen IV or newer Pokémon.

He's still alive. I don't know any further details at this point in time.

Only Shane can answer this properly.

Jinji I know you was updating Mareep and Flaaffy, but both is not 100% completed, need put some more moves in sets and you didin't update Ampharos, so need Ampharos update too. So please when you have free time do that.

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

Sadly, as with Crenel I lack time lately to seriously dedicate to fixing movesets; so I to am awaiting the result of Crenel's plan to make a system that will allow easier contribution for the wider PWO Staff.

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

Sir, it would be really great, if you could JUST make a system for "RESETING" chacarters. (for the ppl who wanna re-start their games all over again.Or such.As you know getting an activitation key is so amazing harg.But if you had already an acc, then it should be far easier to get start over again.)

OR !

Just make a system that allows ppl to change their beginner pokemon or their city regions!!!

Thx a lot !

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

It is easier for people to get a key if they already have an account.

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

But im still waiting .. Since yesterdat night ... (:) i just created a request too :p

Btw there is a logic mistake in this page: http://iblamelee.co.uk/pwo/wiki/index.p ... layers.png

Well as you can see below, some players have more (wins - loose) than (only wins). How come can this be possible ? Maybe a minus value of (loose) ? :p (i.e: 2000 wins with - 300 loose. then its wins-lose rating would be 2300 anyway :p some guy has a rate more than 2000 of wins-lose but they dont have 2000 wins in the rate of only wins ... xD)

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

Once you have progressed far enough into the game to unlock trading, you can always trade your Starter for another person's Starter if you no longer like your original choice.

As for resetting characters - while creating new players in our game is easy from a technical standpoint, as it only requires new data to be added; resetting a character is a lot more complicated: Large amounts of data such as your inventory, box etc. will need to be emptied; fields such as your location and money will need to be reset to default values; variables will need to be reset and in some cases whole new data created. These are all time-consuming processes which likely would slow down operations for other users temporarily, as well as being a nightmare to design; and would probably greatly strain our server. So it's not practical right now, but we aren't ruling it out for the future.

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

Probably when the new Playerdex launches; but Bluerise would be better informed since he's the one working on it.

Friend membership isn't returning - a new system will be in place.

Re: Jinji's Developer Log

I've decided to take a break from PWO for the first week of July at least; and not visit the PWO Forum or play PWO during this time. The reasons for this are numerous, but to summarise, I have other projects I have been putting off for some time now that I really need to get on with. In addition, lately I've had a number of incidents - for example my laptop failing to work; frustration with the PWO Forum; and R/L issues - that have gotten me a little ticked off lately and I wouldn't want to risk taking it out on players and damaging my good reputation.

I will continue to communicate with Staff and assist with matters outside of the main services if necessary; but I will not be visiting the Forum, responding to PMs or new topics posted for the next seven days; or playing PWO itself for the next seven days, subject to change. So this is just a friendly notice of my intentions. I apologise for any incovenience this may cause and hope PWO continues to run smoothly in my absence; and will post again here when I am ready to return.

By the way - could I please request a Staff member to remove any posts from my log that weren't posted by me and weren't direct responses to one of my posts, or me responding to them? Reading through the old posts on this topic, I sometimes get annoyed by how pointless certain messages in it seem to be.
