New Ring points message?
 

I logged in last night to have a go and loaded up my scenario I had worked on the previous night. It gave me some message about not having enough ring points to utilize a certain feature (I forget what) It gave me 30 seconds or something to remove the feature. I couldn't even read the message and understand completely as I was using this scenario the prior day before it kicked me out to the New scenario screen.

I looked, and it seemed I had access to less maps. In addition, I thought it was just a bug, so I tried to load my scenario, and in the reqiuirements filed it said "You do not have SUFFICIENT ring point to load this scenario."

So did something change between Monday night and Tuesday Night that would put this in place? It seems awfuly odd to not be able to utilize my scenario any longer that I have put 12 hours into working on.

Any help would be great. I did send a ticket, but no news there.

Fantastic! :( I was working on Desert map 19 and now there are only 18.

I blame Basil, Edmund and Baldric :rolleyes:

Re: New Ring points message?
 

Would you believe I took a day off work so I could try to publish before the weekend and the IRL and now I can't even open the #@*%£$¦ scenario because the map has been locked? Times and trials of a tester, eh? :p

Get on Klients and hollar. :)

I wish you could have a Universe channel whilst editing. Maybe I'll make a seperate post.

Even a chat window for /who GM Although no one is ever on when I am.

Re: New Ring points message?
 

uhm, what's the definitive (although it still can change for release) use of ring points? as far as I know, when the ring points feature was announced, several players were not happy as considered this as another "ring grind" and if I recall correctly, it was told that access to packages would be based on discovered things and mobs by the main character?

Re: New Ring points message?
 

Oh I did go straight to Klients, aye. I heard nothing about Ring points from Seido, it seems that for this edition of beta lvl 150+ mobs are locked out and about half of the maps (only 4 PR now). The maps should all be available once again at release, provided that you have all of the respawn points in each land. This is of course, not set in stone :)

Klients is your Editors Universe channel, I think.

*nods*
About the Ring points, I will make an annoucement to explain how it works. It will be clearer for everyone this way.

Re: New Ring points message?
 

Marjo,

The troubling bit here is the hours upon hours that have gone in to scenarios that can no longer even be loaded. Is there something someone can do to make their scenario work again?

Re: New Ring points message?
 

I guess you just discovered a feature that was locked before, remember this is a testphase. :)

Re: New Ring points message?
 

Yup! Seems a lot of things from Alpha have been locked out for Beta Ive noticed. Including 150+ NPC/Mobs and more than half of the maps.

Re: New Ring points message?
 

even those that you have access and able to put to your scenario and say maybe 30min tweaking it... then when you press "Test", it says, "Sorry, not enought points".

fun ;-)

Re: New Ring points message?
 

At the release of the Ring, you will be able to work on your "Alpha" scenarii again, given the fact you have enough Ring points with one of your characters (as you are an "old" player, I think you won't have any problem on this part - Ring points are related to the number of respawn points you own on Atys).

However, during the Beta, you can't work on these scenario because of the "level 150" cap, which has been added when we opened the Beta on Monday. In the meantime, I can only suggest you to make another "Beta" scenario.

Re: New Ring points message?
 

Thanks for the reply. That is fiine.

I was wondering If I could change the map or something to keep working on it, but either way it is no problem if I can have it back later.

Re: New Ring points message?
 

thats assuming that scenarios are storedin such a way they will be accessible form the main servers, since you are creating them on ATS. But then again I don't see why they wouldn't be stored in such a manner.

Re: New Ring points message?
 

Hello Marjo,

what do we have to do to save our scenarios? I thought they are stored on the client side.

Cheers

Re: New Ring points message?
 

Ah *slaps forehead* I hadn't thought about the possibility that they were stored on the client side- my way of thinking made me think offline editor=client side storage online editor = server side storage. I'd love to hear the definitive answer.

Re: New Ring points message?
 

The scenarios, from what I can tell, are stored client side. When you go into "test" mode, you get an "uploading" window while you wait for the scene to flop over. Of course, I haven't gone looking in the directory on my hard-drive to see if they are there or not, sooo....

Re: New Ring points message?
 

The files are complete, and are stored in your Ryzom directory that you are using for the ATS(RING) access. They are named the name you gave them, and have an extension of .r2

There are also autosave files there. Named Autosave001.r2, Autosave002.r2 ... or something like that.

It would be nice to see a seperate folder where they are intended to be saved.


Edit: Oh and how about a status bar on uploading or switching back to the editor. I think I recall one on the way in and out of publishing. The same one would do great for this.

Re: New Ring points message?
 

"Save Scenario" puts them to "Ryzom\My_Scenarios".

Re: New Ring points message?
 

There is an editor/animation universe channel...
At least there was, last time I checked :)
