Well. It has been done.

Took much longer than expected, mostly because I had an appointment in between  :o

You recall (or may read again) about the server we were (and currently still are, partly) hosted?

This machine is now around 6 years old, and I decided to replace it.
-> parts may not be available in the future
-> monthly costs now more than necessary
-> server OS would have needed an upgrade (which means adaptions of all virtual hosts stuff like routes/bridges etc)

So, the new machine is now basically faster, larger etc. and costs 1/3 of the current host  :roll: :roll:

For those who want stats:
1x Intel® Core™ i7-6700, Quad-Core Skylake
RAM 32 GB DDR4 RAM
2 x 500 GB SATA 6 Gb/s SSD (Software-RAID 1)
Internet Bandwith max. 1 GBit/s-Port

Should be enough for us, the mail server and storage space.  :twisted:
I rented a new storage unit (2 TB) for backups too, dirt-cheap.

Mailserver (+forum/wiki) will follow in around a week.
Will be much less hassle, I don't need to adapt virtual hdd and such things, so it will be smoother and quicker. Also, game will keep running  :twisted:

We no longer accept postal donations and strongly advise to use digital payments by paypal (which can be done with most credit cards).

Hi,

I am pondering about giving out the privilege (well, or benefit) to have accounts not expire.

It has happened in the past, and there are a few accounts that do not expire.

One more famous example is the "Baluski" account, though there are others who did a lot for the site and were granted that boon.

I'd say I put an option for donation points in, to buy that privilege.

One "downside" is that names would be locked "forever", as I won't manually delete those accounts.
One "upside" is for people who leave this site that their accounts would be there - with all houses etc. attached. Also people who live there can continue to live there.

Opinions are welcome  :twisted:

[*in the game*]

Hi,

due to the fact that we have in this SMF version a ton of spambots (no clue what loophole they use, if any), I will put the new registrations on "admin approvement required".

This means, petition *in the game* what your account name on the forum is for activation :)

Sorry, but it is much easier than deleting at least one post a day and 20 accounts per week.

After talking with a few others I went ahead this weekend and put some stuff together which could form a mobile template (really mobile, adaptive to page width).

http://shinobibeta.com

currently has this as default template which will scale down and move menues to buttons on smartphones and the like.

I will probably make a module that will add fight buttons (or some way for you to make a fight doable with 1 click for an action) - ideas are welcome.

Currently it has the basic technology but no fance style or layout.

Hey,

I basically thought this was fixed, but obviously not.

I need input - is there a pattern?

Additional Info:
-> AJAX on/off (would be helpful)
-> Did you have multiple game tabs/windows open? Playing an alt the same time?
-> Did you have an ingame mail window open?

Of course I'd need the "when did it get broken and not fixed it self" description.

Keep it brief please, just the essential stuff =)

Hi,

the old one got kind of buggy with the new versions of SMF.

I took one from the theme site and installed it as default theme.

Any input? Bad? Worse? Better?

I hope I got all spam accounts :/ if not, tell me.

As you might have read, I changed a few things around there.

Basically it works like:

- > every site (+popup) has a countdown internally to check the server every second if you are in danger of time out.
- > this will result in a message or not.
- > if you have the window open > than the normal timeout (+x seconds) the script will stop.

Sideeffects presently:
- Firefox does show the "load" icon when the script executes during "Timeout in xx seconds".
- If you have a popup open the time left in the popup+main page might be slightly out of sync.


Answer here if you have requests / bugreports / whatnot =)

The mentioned changes like in the MOTD are in place:

The changes were:

1. race partly overhauled
2. new cities added
3. relocation of the shops: kitchen, apple shop, specialty buy
4. new titles added
5. new main central town: Jiseigakure

More relocations/additions of shops might/will follow.

Sound nin are now relocate to Iwagakure

If you experience bugs, things that make no sense, or have an idea on how to add more to the current setup, feel free to post.

More ships might be incoming soon (tm).

As many of you might want to know (outside MOTD) what gets changed (stealth changes not counted  :twisted:)

I decided to put up this thread.

As described in http://forum.shinobilegends.com/index.php/topic,6778.0.html - there are possible changes that may be made due to the progression in the Naruto timeline (whereas the basic structure has not been touched for ~ 3 years in SL)

Please vote - so I see the general tendency and may schedule first changes.

I know you did not like it, so let it out -.-

I am pretty upset myself as it seems that modern technology looks more like mystic if you don't have the physical stuff in front of you.
Working only over the net has limitations if you have probably faulty hardware somewhere.

Well, it seems all things come together.

The DOS Attack seems to be over, I will still check if there are any things left behind.

Furthermore, the server does really not like those 1.5 TB drives... it is currently freezing up while formatting.. O.o

Please give detailed feedback on what you have experienced / liked /disliked on

it is *your* feedback that will decide if the new setup is viable or not.

Keep in mind: compare http with http, not https (means, only unencrypted connection).

Hi,

I upgrade this one and the one for LoB to the newest Version.

I hope all works smoothly, if not, give me a hint.

Due to massive spam registrations and threads I was forced to make this big step outside the normal update cycle.

Hi,

currently we are reviewing the applications, it will still take a while.

I had to work yesterday too (7am to 9pm) and today is not a great day to fully get in touch with it ^^

Discussions among staff takes place.

As the game goes on, there is little space to make you - in the standard gameflow - more powerful but still keep it challenging.

You currently have 2 groups from where you can pick 1 KG ... and I will add another group.

My plans are to make one "Elite Forest" where you can use these new abilities - however, my plans are to limit you to two KG in overall use.

This is to let you know what will likely happen next ;) you're welcome to give feedback in the forum.

If you want to comment this, please do so here.

If you want to advertise for a leisure (!) time activity or a game, I have no problems with that if you open a thread in SPAM (!) talking about it.

However, if you have commercial advertising in EITHER your signature OR attached to your posts, it is a problem.

All current offenders have been notified, all future offenders will receive a ban - first temporary, then permanently for repeated offense.

I want to keep this ad-free.
