Conquest Forum Game - Discussion

Well, the conquest system should be back up and running. I reinstalled a brand new game from scratch and undid whatever work was done on it since we started with the system to begin with.

I left the settings from the last game intact, but you will find some functionality is currently missing:

The trade system has been removed altogether from the game. I am not sure the trade system will be back any time soon. The code for it can be put back into place easily, but as it default opened the door for exploiting, and me not having the insight into exactly which part of the code was affected, I'm reluctant to put this back in.

Furthermore, the functionality to have discussions on a seperate sub forum is not working for the time being. Instead, we went back to the old system of comment groups within the system. [STRIKE]At this very moment, I am aware of a bug in that system with the user avatars. This will be addressed some time soon.[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]The "time until next cycle" message is not showing at this moment. This will be addressed some time soon.[/STRIKE]

Feel free to give the game another run. I have reset everything to ensure the missing functionality will not affect the gameplay. Please report any findings you have, and also feel free to let us know what functionality you miss.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Feel free to let me know what you think would constitute good ways to handle this, and I'll see what can be done :)

 

I am aware of the timing issue and will make a correction asap.

 

OP has been edited to reflect the changes I just made:

The avatars should now display correctly in the comments section. If this is not the case, please let me know. I have not joined the game, which means I do not have access to it, either. However, I implemented the same fix I used before, so this should address that.

Furthermore, the time left until next cycle has been updated. Feel free to use this to verify the cycle countdown works as intended :)

Finally, I addressed a gramattical issue ;)

As stated, the trading functionality has been removed for the time being, due to the loophole that obviously existed in the original code. Seeing we started a game cycle already, I do not intend to re-add that functionality any time soon, but if we manage to plug the hole, maybe I can add it before we start the next cycle. Any suggestions for a more transparent taxing functionality are more than welcome.

I shall address the issue with the subforums shortly. The comments ought to allow you to communicate with one another for now, and I need to divert my attention to some other parts of the forum for a bit. I shall be back soon!

In the meantime, may mutants mercilessly massacre more monsters!
